Gold, salt, silver, greenbacks, plastic, bitcoin. Take your pick, None of it cures society of thieves, bank robbers, or scoundrels. And anyone who guarantees your money is secure is probably complicit in its theft. There will always be ways to steal your coin. Bitcoin just limits who might steal it.
Move further from the poles...daylight duration varies with the longitude, most of all.
Uhhhhh....don't you mean latitude?
Oops, wrong planet...
yikes! Now the INS & ICE will be onto me...
but it's so damned tough that the people who excel at it will be good at almost anything.
I knew a waitress at Denny's that had a PhD in pH (Organic Chem) from Oxford University. She also really loved horses.
Only Denny's needed an equestrian chemist on graveyard shift.
She was our favorite waitress among the teenagers, way back then. So I concur with your assessment.
Damn, that anesthetic must be some good shit!
WoW!

Well written, wise (w)one.

Well, relatively few of us live in LA.

Mod Squad... Where's the mod points?
Agreed. She's losing votes that she has counted on for decades. Career politics is not democracy. After a while, its all about them.
Thanks, for that link, MikeRT.

Its time to bust out of this social stupor - Where is the outrage, America? Bipolar is better than comatose.
Fractured Faerie Tales indeed.
Where are Boris and Natasha?
The unibomber's stuff was much more explosive
I wonder if it will be written in German or Russian...or in prison English.
Perhaps a Truthfesteroo with Pussy Riot and Assange and (Ms.) Bradley Manning would be a fun......overseas, that is.
I'm glad they spoke out, but it sure sucks to be them right now. Its sucks for a lot of folks right now. So let's Truthfesteroo!
Yeah. Its fairly obtuse information, nevertheless, its often overlooked. Nothing is ideal, or even close, but how we all deal with one another is more important than any particular set of rules. Our principles must apply to our choices. We uphold values - not doctrine, else we miss the point. A Bible, a Constitution, or a Policy is only as good or effective as the people who engage in it. Our values can be reflected in coping with any particular system. A golden age can emerge from anywhere, if we just cooperate.
Communism can only be imposed by force and mass murder, because it's so completely incompatible with human nature.
That is not even close to factual.
I agree.
I was actually quoting the statement from further up the thread, but I lost the 'quote' tag.
Now I'm on the blacklist because of a typo.
I might as well learn to speak Russian.
As it is, during the winter there is a period where I leave for work while it's dark and return home afterward in the dark. To have at least a little daylight left at the end of my workday would be nice.
