Here in Texas we are doing all we can to reduce Fossil Fuesl..
In Seetwater Texas is the Largest Wind Generating System It is building everyday in all areas. It will help in the future
The most important thing in the near future is the Water.
In my way of thinking I would like to see some movement of People from the Cities back to some of the small Towns that were left behind and vacated.
Problem has been Healthcare!
Gov. Perry here in Texas has helped with 160 million to get some of the Doctors back into the small towns.
There is lots of Space and if City Folks come into the area it is not long before they realize the Benefits.
We must as a Nation Start being Concerned with our Citizens, keep some of the Overseas Money here, Stop throwing it away on useless Projects and
People...

Dan Rather took a shot at Bush with his fabricated/phoney charges. He could probably produce something about Palin? How 'bout it Dan? Dan?

Is Skeeter really Yogi Oso? |
Hard to tell, but for sure he wants Consular representation for Sissys. I was surprised at that. Is it a Texas thing?

There are some really smart people in this forum, but all we human beings seem to be expert in one area and utter fools and marooons in other areas.
The one thing I find fortifying is that most of us Nomads have our hearts in the right place. To me, if a person’s heart is in the right place, well,
that is all that matters to me in the final analysis.
The discord comes from seeing things differently. Skeet is really for the betterment of our human character (a virtue in itself) and is rightfully
upset and impatient with what he sees through his eyes. Goat sees through the BS and major errors of the opposition and rebuts valiantly,
consistently, whole heartedly, and relentlessly as a good warrior would. Cypress wants things to be better than they are, and is rightfully upset
that we are not, as a country, getting there. Bajagringo observes the discourse and chimes in with his two cents, careful not to offend anyone, which
reflects a calm, mature wisdom that I think we all suspect he has. Bajatripper studies and has supported his contentions revealing to me that he has
done his homework and research so as not to posit trash but to support his contentions which to me reflects his intellectual integrity; a form of
civil responsibility to you and me.
Where things go hay wire is that we all have become so adversarial that the dialogue deteriorates to ultimately taking sides and taking pot shots at
each other instead of objectively analyzing the situation and discussing solutions. Such adversarial positioning prevents objective scrutiny of one’s
own side, leads to blindness of one’s own guilty contributions to the problem. We, as a country, cannot come to a consensus. That is exactly what
has stalled this country. That is exactly what has happened in congress. That is exactly what will bleed this country of its ability to succeed.
What is materially needed are objectivity, citation of facts and circumstances supporting sound logical, reasonable, realistic contentions and
solutions. Pot shots at the opposition will get us nowhere and will just widen the divide which is on its way to conquering us all.

Well....I pretty much agree with all you say, Mitch. The irony may be that Skeet won't. he won't be supplying references with his comments and he
thrives on the contentious nature of the site and the turmoil his statements can sometimes elicit.
Again...I agree with you, but I hope it doesn't turn too sterile around here.

24/7 cable tv news. A major reason for the ugly turn in public discourse. Especially given that those outlets are "for Profit". The more viewers, the
more than can charge advertisers. So, the more sensational, the higher the profit.
But, I didn't want to leave Rush out of this. Anyone know what this turd's annual income is? And for what? Disrupting polite public discourse?

I would like to thank Doug and the moderators for letting this go into way "off topic." But it is better to have it happen here than in that cesspool
known as "off topic." I think the discourse here has been for the most part civil and relevant to those of us who love Baja California.

A Confession from Me!
I do not watch any of the Major News Networks:
I do not Listen to any of the socalled Pundits.
I do check out several different NewsPapers both Liberal and Conservative about once a Week.
I donot check out utubes nor Internet Pundits and Blogs.
The things I post come from my Experiences in Life in what I have seen and Done.
I do not attend Church on Sunday, watch Joel Osteen on TV.
I only watch one program on TV. It is called  ancin with the Stars"
My next adventure is getting some Baby Texas Rattlesnakes onto Santa Catalana Isla for future Study.

Skeet I think history proves that we will never stop the use of drugs. Every society in the history of human civilization
has had its intoxicants, the natural human desire to get high will not change. The drug problem will never be solved until we stop pretending it is a
war and start managing it with intelligence: legalize drugs to eliminate the profit motive, focus on education and treatment, and
stop treating drug users as criminals.
carpe diem!

Ken :
I will agree with you 100%,
The problem I have with it is that There is no effort to prevent the use of Drugs! There is no effort to prevent or stop People who are on Drugs from
Killing other Peoples Children!!!
If a Person kills another person while on Drugs, should they be execueted to prevent them from killing another Person???????
I have a Two=Eyed Tequilla about once a week and usually have a Glass or two of Wine at Night.
I do not get in a car and drive when I have had a Drink;;
Why am I able to do this??
It is becuase I have been taught and have learned that I have to accept the results of my Acts!!
Why is it that we cannot teach the Younger Generations to change from Drugs to other Productive Acts otherwise they must be Locked up to prevent their
Killing other People??
