4. It needs a level of trust to operate. If the trust is gone, then it won't work.

21. Yeah. I've written extensively about the USS Liberty.
Edited on Sun May-10-09 06:45 PM by alfredo
One of the pages shows the Valdez, a sister ship to the Liberty.

Here's some images by some degenerates I knew there:

http://web.mac.com/alfredo_tomato/Kagnew_Images/Kagnew_page_1.html

Bear in mind, these ASA agents were supposed to be in the top ten percent of the military. Don't judge them by their looks.
the Beach Bum report has some very good images from Ethiopia. Look at the link below.

On the first page is an image of a Thompson Gazelle. We had one in our compound. He was spoiled rotten. When I left the snack bar I had some carrot sticks in my hand. The Gazelle wanted some but I was hungry. He wouldn't take no for an answer and started butting me.

You must realize that army fatigues had button flys. One of his butts placed one antler inside my fly. He started struggling to get free. I had no choice but to drop the carrot sticks to protect a precious asset. He got the carrot sticks, I kept my family jewels.

31. Enforcement of contract agreements would help...........
.........or for that matter, access to timely judgment and rigorous enforcement for ANY civil issue would help. Access to what should be a basic right of citizenship is too often limited to only those who have the wealth, experience or spare time to game the legal system.

19. Hubby insisted that I read it today - it was great.
I, too, am learning about how to development a community (and cooperative behavior). I, too, am learning how to barter.

22. Be a good use for a Pacer
With all those windows, the infamous bubble car would make a pretty good little green house.

25. My wife had one. She was a cellist, so the Pacer was perfect.
Edited on Sun May-10-09 08:11 PM by alfredo
You could also paint it black, attach ducting and a fan to it and run the ductwork to the house. It would make a good solar heater.

32. "And thus ended capitalism"
Once again, Scott nails the bear to the wall.

A little socialism, anyone?

35. AND THUS ENDED CAPITALISM
Wrong!

AND THUS ENDED UNREGULATED CAPITALISM


Why does everyone assume capitalism must be totally free of interference from some governing body?

I remember in one of my favorite 4 1/2 hour Dickens marathon movies "Little Dorrit" (soooo good with Alec Guiness and Derek Jacoby and the marvelous Joan Greenwood!....but NOT on DVD damnit!)...anyway, it has many musings on Capitalism, its rewards and its dangers. One character passionately intones "Be prosperous! Go and make money.... as much money as you honestly can!"

The key word of course is "honestly".

36. Those who want no interference are the kind that got notes from the
teacher stating that little Johnny doesn't play well with others, or wonders why they are being punished for stealing the underclassmen's lunch money.

37. Of course, honestly doesn't mean legally, although the corporate-only socialists who
call themselves capitalists would disagree.
