Thanks, and yes that Judge is a fine example of RepubliCON crazy!

Kenny, changed my post since someone here, was offended by the picture and yes that judge is over the edge.

I saw the original and I agree, 100%

Another one of my favorites!

The Doors celebrated drugs. They may even be responsible for drug addiction and the accompanying deaths.

Morrison died at 27, probably either from a drug overdose or suicide.

Morrison was a very heavy drinker, I remember that well!

An all-around degenerate who promoted drugs, alcohol and irresponsible sex.

andy gibb did not died from a drug overdose, it was from a heart infection.

I thought this song was a perfect fit to the final words of your comment. Glad you liked.

my favorite from "the doors," was "come baby light my fire."

I remember that as well!

It was, thanks!

and good music, don't forget good music.

That's a good one too, cw9000 :)

You're welcome, kenny!

There was no "conspiracy," of course. They died from drugs, alcohol.... They ruined many lives in the process.

Hendrix was especially degenerate, dying in his own vomit. He encouraged the ingestion of LSD. I wonder how many lives were completely destroyed from his influence?

The "flower children" were not haters, and I never implied, stated or even hinted that they were. They were innocents who actually believed that the degenerates like Hendrix had something to say of importance, when he was only promoting and advocating drugs, death and insanity.

How about "Cars Hiss By My Window" or "Been Down So Long'?

You know the truth. Total population control.

Well certainly many more lives have been lost through the agendas of the ruling class, that wage wars of economic opportunity and domestic social engineering which by device are intended to reduce populations and fuel the profits of their 'enterprises' Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, The phoney War on Drugs, The Phoney War on Terror, The REAL War on the Middle Class...

The prescription drug business is one example. More people die everyday from the legal Alcohol and oxycotin enterprises, than from LSD and certainly NO ONE HAS EVER DIED FROM SMOKING A JOINT..

The Pharmaceutical manufacturers, Pain Management centers that prescribe the pain killers, the pharmacies that dispense them and the insurance companies that pay for the pills are the merchants of death. I wonder how many untold billions have been wasted by the medical insurance , medicaid and treatment centers, and our tax dollars to combat the effects of Alcohol and prescription drugs. How has this directly affected .the cost of health care ?

When the great Ronald Reagan worked for GE, he actually toured the country, meeting with employees all over the nation. This helped form his opinions about the American people and how much he understood and respected working people.

In his travels where he worked, visited and ate with workers from all over the United States, Ronald Reagan came to learn about the Communist influence in the unions. Before, he knew about it in Hollywood, but he learned how it also had a large presence in American unions.

"certainly many more lives have been lost through the agendas of the ruling class, that wage wars of economic opportunity and domestic social engineering which by device are intended to reduce populations and fuel the profits"

Yes, like Hitler, Mao, Stalin. Are you glad that we fought against Hitler? Do you think Stalin was brutal and his policies led to the deaths of millions of his own people?

"Reduce populations?" You believe that wars are intended to reduce populations?

"More people die everyday from the legal Alcohol and oxycotin enterprises, than from LSD and certainly NO ONE HAS EVER DIED FROM SMOKING A JOINT."

The last part of that is debateable, of course. Deaths from driving, etc.

That aside, why are you stating the obvious?

"I wonder how many untold billions have been wasted by the medical insurance , medicaid and treatment centers, and our tax dollars to combat the effects of Alcohol and prescription drugs. How has this directly affected .the cost of health care ?"

Please tell me. I am all ears. (Eyes in this case.....)

"Let us take that money and use it to REGULATE CORPORATIONS, PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT"

I hope that you realize that this kind of funding for Left-winger projects is seperate. That aside, it probably would be better to phrase it that we may be able to fund our Left-winger projects with the money saved by not fighting drugs.

Regulate corporations? You want more government management and control of our economy, industries and production. I see.

"Protect the environment?" Well, now, that means that the all-loving, munificent, altruistic GOVERNMENT to which you offer panegyrics can control virtually every single aspect of our lives, from the temperature to which we heat our homes, the size of our homes, the food we eat, where we live, how we travel, and even the color we paint our cars and houses. (Yes, the environmental whackos in California - where else? - tried to regulate the color of cars because it affects the amount of heat and air conditioning needed.) Nice world you Libbies would create.

Thanks gump!

Take me with you! :)

I know exactly what you mean. But what we face here is worldwide. Moveing about the globe will change little for very long. Please be careful where ever you go. Watch your back my friend.

I see. When you speak about leaving the greatest country in the world, it is always in the future tense.

If a person wants to leave America, it is really quite simple. There is absolutely nothing holding him back, only flimsy excuses and fear.

Very true, very true. And these people rarely do leave the country. They remind me of people who say that they are "working on their book." People who actually write books simply do not speak about it and JUST DO IT. Those who talk about it are the ones who never do anything.

So do us all a favor and leave, for good! :)

Isn't the internet wonderful? No matter where in the world one is, we can be in communication.

Thanks to Gore for inventing it!

Got the official job offer contract yesterday and the accountant says add another 10K and it's a done deal. The work visa will take about 4 weeks and the start date is tentatively Oct 1... Pretty much a done deal.

I'll also have full medical, disability, and dental, free of charge in 6 months, eh!

gump - I appreciate the sentiments! We are certainly not leaving here thinking the world outside is all cupcakes and puppy dogs. However, there are a ton of places that enjoy a great standard of living at a much lower price. They enjoy a much higher quality of life and take way more time to enjoy things outside of the office. I've worked my ass off working 60 - 70 hours a week in IT and am now in the position to earn a s@#$ load more money, senior level position which will enable me to transfer to Europe. The reason we're focusing on working in Europe is so we can enjoy an incredible amount of awesome travel locations that are literally an hour or two flight away. We'll do that for about 10 years and then officially retire and see how many beaches we can party on!

LOL

I hope you stay on this thread. I would like to know where you go and how long you last.

I have European citizenship, so I could go on the "dole" there and live off the socialism and inferior medical care if I chose to do so. But I already did live it.

I love this site so I'll be on it as long as it is up and running! It is a great place to hang out with people who can discuss the issues in an educated fashion the majority of the time and once in awhile, drop the fuck bomb without getting censored! I'm wondering if I should keep my Arizona_Huey handle or change it to Toronto_Huey!

I am looking forward to seeing the difference as well. I am currently dealing with a father that we had to put into Hospice yesterday, a wife with a degenerative back issue, and me, an ex jock that played every sport 24/7, so I am very aware of every single aspect of our current healthcare system. I'm beginning to really see how broken our system is (in my eyes) so it will be interesting to experience another system personally

Sorry to hear about your father.

I have experienced healthcare for a couple of years in Europe and many years in Japan. Japan was rated #1 in the world last year, by the way. I flew all the way to America last year to have surgery because I knew the American version is superior. That was the reality of it.

" I'm wondering if I should keep my Arizona_Huey handle or change it to Toronto_Huey!"

I thought you were moving to Europe.

My daughter lived in Canada for six years. Last year, she moved back to the US. She says she will never go back to Canada to live.

congratulations!!! .

The company has a massive global presence, especially in Europe - however, the initial position is in Toronto for about 18 months - then I can start looking for opportunities in Europe once the project raps up.

Gracias! Going to be a great opportunity!

Mish won't leave, she is a paid shill and a harpy. besides we may be her only friends.

True story! LOL

Good luck to you in Canada and Europe. I have also been doing that. One appreciates how great America is after living abroad on the local economy.

I love this song, good one!

Great guitar player, nice song, (I have the album), but what's the point? Haven't we left it to others for too long now? I know "changing the world" is enough to give us all a headache, but by leaving it to others, (like the politicians and the corporations), we now find ourselves in a hell of a mess. I always thought this tune fell into the same category as the Stones "You can't always get what you want", (nice song, nice choir, but too encouraging to political dropouts). Maybe if "Working Class Hero" or "Bring on the Lucie (Freda People)" by Lennon got any airplay we would be finding ourselves in a better condition.

{I know "changing the world" is enough to give us all a headache}

Do you really want to change the world? Do you think it can be done?

At least another parole went the correct way on that one! NOT

I'm my dad's Any & get a bit touch about that. You wrote the article well Ken. Didn't even read it right on the first read. Had to go through 2nd time.

Thanks my friend!

Amazing, the nation is stupefied!

Plumbers local ?????

I thought the republicans hate unions?

No, the Republicans do not hate unions, and neither do Conservatives.

Unions in the public sector live off the taxpayer, and they use taxpayer monies to support candidates.

There is nothing wrong with unions if they do not FORCE people to pay dues on condition of employment. If we have all right-to-work states, then people will not have such bad feelings about them, and there will be more liberty. The thugs will lose their power, and the wages will return to the level that they should be.

roses are red
violets are blue
i don't respond to paid trolls like you!

Union higher-up intimidate and bully. I used to pass out Right-to-Work pamphlets to graduating seniors of a college where I worked. I always encouraged them not to join unions. I knew that they would get tremendous pressure to join by the union bullies because they were new, naturally lacked confidence, and wanted to fit in. Union bullies take advantage of this, of course, so I did my best to steel them against the ugly onslaught and intimidation of these union people.

But not all unions hate the Republicans. It must fall into the Orwellian "some of us are created more equal than others" thing. It doesn't make sense to me for a union to endorse or vote for someone who supports an agenda that will eventually destroy, (or, at the least, decimate), their organization.
But this goes right back to trade union versus industrial union debate, where the trade unions, (the AFL), remained selective in their membership and conservative, and the industrial unions, (the CIO), were liberal and welcomed all workers in the shop under one umbrella.
So, in essence, the trades tend to believe their excrement doesn't stink, and that they are entitled to a privileged status because of their skills, (hence their siding with the "winners", the bosses). Debs used to call them the "aristocracy of labor". But the sad fact is that unions that used to be considered CIO, (industrial), are largely gone with the closing of the factories, so this is what we are stuck with, (and we wonder why labor is so weak.)

You got it.

No more stupified than I am. (I know Mishima and his trolling pals will run with that one.)

Scab.

You just did. Typical liberal. Says one thing, then does the complete opposite, then denies ever doing it at all when the whole world saw you do it.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. You too dumb to know if I am a liberal or not.

thanks for the information sibob!!!

For you "scab" is a pejorative; for me, it is a source of pride. I crossed a picket line once.

Probably more than once. In effect, you cross one every time you open your mouth.

Anytime my friend.
