Toneart,

Not that you need it but you got my support on this one. You are 100% right.

Geez. Far as I know, Tony didn't die, or run of to a Tibetan monastery. He merely scooped up his marbles and went home. He'll be back!:lol:

I am now the proud owner of a new tin foil hat, presented to me by David (elinvest18) by U2U. I hope this url appears correctly when I post it. Thank you, David! I have been needing one for a long time.:yes:;D My envy of gnukid was overwhelming.

Thank you, Wesson, Don Julio and Howard, for your comments. I hope I am not leaving anyone out. I am surprised that no women entered the discussion. I would have thought...well...maybe not.
:(


Wesson- I was sent to a Boy's Ranch for four years, from age 8 through 11. It was rough. I was quite small for my age but I learned to fight with my fists (I became a pretty good street boxer later), and I also could run faster than any of them when my life depended on it. Oh, we certainly had plenty of rock throwing fights. They were serious fights but I survived. To this day, I am agile and stay in shape. I think I could do it again, if I needed to.
Well....maybe I had better back off of that statement...I do recall challenging a girlfriend to a foot race when I was in my forties. It didn't occur to me that I may not be as fast as I once was. Well, she beat me and than laughed at me. It was clear by her attitude towards me that my (love)life had depended on that footrace and *poof*...it had evaporated...a very chilly experience! Perhaps it was the first taste of humility this self-confident, but fragile ego had experienced.:o:yes::rolleyes:

I didn't say I was withdrawing from posting in The BajaNomad. I just said I had exhausted the subject and had said all I have to say. Beyond what I have said and what the LE guys have countered, I think it slips into an obsessive tedium. So, I am done! :yawn:

Tony I enjoyed the good natured banter and ribbing. Enjoy your new hat!

Your friend,

PS: I'm done too!

No, The NRA!...just kidding. :o:no::lol:

It was the Nevada County Arts Council, under the California Arts Council. We lost our funding and are now defunct.

Who needs funding for the arts, as long as we can keep funding prisons, eh?

Seemed like you were the Lone Ranger out there to me.. also seems we were similar growing up, as I to learned to fight at an early age, along with learning how to run too..

Knew you weren't knocked out... but, just wanted to say thanks.. for your "thinking" on the issue

It all helps in my book..

Absolutely


"Who needs funding for the arts, as long as we can keep funding prisons, eh ?"

Howodd and I are in complete agreement.

It should not be the business of Government to fund ANY of the Arts with Tax Dollars properly spent elsewhere.

It IS the business of Government to provide protection to its Citizens by removing threats to society.

Unfortunately, I doubt that Odd is serious.

Yes we don't want to fund the arts. Darn artists might start throwing paint brushes like spears. Cant have that.

Donjulio Funding


No WE.

YOU and those who agree are free to fund the Arts or anything else you want to whatever extent you please. The market will fund those Arts deemed worthy.
