Free Republic

frankly,
i find the entire article ludicrous....and potentiall an example of the real application of dawrinism...

it is also very true... i encounter them every day..one is even an ex-teacher....

they seem absent both the ability to reason... and more importantly...if not the same thing..... the desire to actually learn....my general belief is that things have just been made too easy for them... the pap they have been fed..the wooden spoons and "soft issues" of the day that they swim in are not such things that foster a "strong mind" or a "strong people" .. to wit.. we are not breeding the same hard-minded people we once were... except of course for those who get law degrees and mba... where all they learn....is how to feed on others....

but ludicrous?...you question my word? the simple fact that a "profession" that proposes to teach finds that it cannot first think....

but ... it is early today... and i need to stay positive...

here! here!

the profession has largely been trashed....
just because "you can do it" people quite literally dump on you....

i consider this my "reward" for my grades in calculus, diff-e and all that "stuff"....knowwhatimsayign... HA HAHAHAHAHA

in fact, over the past few years... i have developed an acutely sensitive "shovel alarm" meaning, that is when i am supposed to go and get said shovel, and get to work.. and it works like this... while the rest usually take a break...because " they can't"


and it is the statement: "well you're the engineer.." and typically spoken after words like "it's supposed to," and "should."


there is a REASON that things are as they are....

and so... let em all come.... cause things change.

who IS john galt...?

(not that i am a galt.. i am a grunt...)

..next we'll be reading about the new and improved wheel....

but i wander...

howdy...

there is a bit more background info from tucson...
just to set the stage...
the radio announced this swine'e "not a windfall" at the same time the mayor (a putative republican) voted in a tie-breaker to extend tuscon city sales taxes for big ticket items... beyond the city limits....it would amount to roughly $800.00 added to the price of a new jeep....bought by people who do not live in the city (and do not have the financial foresight to riot)and not bought in the city...

the juxtaposition with the neecker..or pecker.. whatever his name is...


i cannot SEE how this fellow can look himself in the face.... but then again... perhaps it is a vestigial form of justive that he CANNOT....

l5

absolutely spot on.... a simply outstanding analysis.. my thoughts -- and general approach to most things "insane" ... captured exactly but expressed with more focus and more cogently than my skills will admit....

your tops ivan....

i agree.. nothing works out of context....

and the context of the initial european immigration into this country was that people desired to work for what they consume and further, for the most part shared a common values system - a judeo-christian one. if they did not, then at least they valued what was here enought to assimilate.

this is not the case these days, and nothing works out of context of its own history, inspite of what our esteemed intellectuals want us to believe.

it is all so plainly obvious, for example the passive-agressive insult inherent in all hyphenated identities..

absoulutely right on....

the central concept that comes throught all their "explanations" and "rationalizations" is as you say, absolute, personal fear...

a short metaphor seems to work for me....regarding bc's legacy....

grand dad had a car.

he cared for it and washed it every day after driving it about.

grand dad passed on... and the car went to dad....

and the dad drove the piss out of it.....

and then dad passed... and the car passed... to son...

and the son started the car and it collapsed in to pieces....and so the son began restoring it..

everyone looked at the son with scorn and said "why look, you've ruined and broken the family car that has been around for 2 generations!"

such is that fellow's legacy, if the historians are truthful...

"...and the mouth of the Persian Gulf, which if irradiated could disrupt the normal flow of reasonably priced oil for half a century, no matter how much oil Alaska, Russia and Venezuela produce..."

""" I don't think I believe this. The rest of it sounds reasonably possible to me. CHILLING indeed. """


strangely, this latter scenario does indeed make sense to me..as it is the act of a homicide bomber writ large..

l5

i thought it was an excellent choice of words....

becaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause....that is what it has to be...if it is to be sucessful....history speaking wise that is...

l5

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa

clear, cogent, sanity...

quite refreshing....

l5

that'right....

that is....it's right before our eyes...


BODANSKY's book: The High Cost of Peace...seems to tell it like it is.......and includes this misstep...


l5

this makes good sense to me too....

very good sense.....

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
lawyers

haaaaahahahahahahhaha

once was state of the art....but...

suns done

i don't know of a lot of people still using suns...hps or sgi have taken over in my world..the suns are mostly unplugged and headed for surplus......

social benefit my _ss

it is a distortion of the market....

l5

right on....

the drug regimines breed super bugs...
i ran across an article a while back that detailed the "state of the art treatment for tb" ..performed by a similar cadre of cdc-ites..and it was ....yup....send a paid social worker around to each bus stop and WATCH the still ambulatory tb paitent take his meds....it was called intervention therapy i think....in typical hyper inflated do nothing 90's ed-speak......and this was in the US...

generally a generation of people who substitute facts adn explanation for understanding.....

i notice further that no mention is made of just WHY the disease spreads....in the first place....

regarding wjc...i prefer not to waste any more calories on that swineherd....except if i'm called for jury duty...

l5

yup,
that's a fact..

it's like ...in the history books...all the way back to
the romans....

imagine the local weather report....

low level clouds today, with a gale force winds from the west....the temperature should be in the high 5,000's today..don't forget your sun screen...

l5

yes indeed...but what about those poor kids....

i will miss kk as well.....i listened to him for years in atlanta....fork in it and all....i have missed his 'company' and familiar comments much since moving away....him and the kimmer...
and i STILL can't remember what perspe-casity....means...i can't even spell it.....unless i look it up.....

god's speed kk...

oh what a clever little squirt!

the hi tech visas are a sell out of the brightest and the best... and quite literally,what comprises THE hope of this country.....

pure and simple....no mystery,no fancy words...no arcane purpose or concepts.... it is a sellout...


you might be better able to appreciate this...
IF you were you among this group...which you are most surely...

are not..
