Skeet,
Señor, por favór, at no time were my comments directed at, intended for, implied, or annotated at anything you said, or did. Entiendes? Not intended
as a disfavor but rather a total disconnect from your issue --- anything I said, or implied was specifically directed at individuals whom are unaware
of the existence of this forum and of course, could care less about it and everyone in it. What you did is no business of mine. I did state that I was
afraid to venture barefoot into the currency futures swamp because of gigantic piranha. Nor would I venture into a small town good-old-boys poker
session in the back room with the intention of cleaning-their-clock. I know when to not ask to sit down at the game.

My Apologies!
There were some posters who could not figure out how it could be done. But if I was still in Loreto I woul;d be checking and seeing How much Interest
was being charged to the Banks Business Customers. That is the Key Factor as well as having someone in the Know with the Govt.

No Cixco You are WRONG!
The Parents of two Generations have let their Children Down. This has allowed them to become Liars, Cheaters and Thieves.
They have no Morals, no Judgement, no Common Sense, no ability to think about the other Person other than What will they GIMMIE???
Our own People with thier Love for GREED have let all of us Down

What I am seeing is the conception, the nucleus of a rebirth of unions. The fight is going to be ugly like the first advent of organized labor, but
the reasons why labor organized in the first place is high apparent. Maybe organized labor can learn from their first mistake and not allow their
presidents and chiefs to become as greedy and power mad as what they oppose.

Very well said:
I have gone through a lot of Life and watched the Unions Grow and then start to lose Ground.
I liked harry Bridges and what he did. I did not and do Not think we should have Public Employees asUnion Groups.
It would be a shame to have a WalMart Union or a Cutting Horse Group as a Union,
What we must do is Bring back Honor, Common Sense and Caring for each other instead of DOPE, SEX, and GREED!

That would be the epitome, yes. I can visualize it and the World would be better.
But that's not happening. OWS whatever you think of it is/was an attempt to pull people together much like a union, and the police state put it down,
hard and fast.
I think that ANY attempt at cohesion among the 'masses' will be dealt with quickly and harshly by the police state we Americans now live in.

dope and sex are about all the 99% have after the greedy 1% strip away everything else!

Yosemite, Olympia Penn, Montana Streams, Texas Plains, Arizona Deserts, Jackson Hole Skiing, Airplanes to jump out of, Baja 's Sea of Cortez, Hiking
the Sierras, Texas Palo Duro Canyon and so many things including the RattleSnakes of Sweetwater Texas!!!!!

Now I understand why this guy is all uptight. Get laid Skeet. Be happy.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Because they have none of those things Skeet.
Because they will never have any of those things and they know that.
Because the only way they have to get away from the terrible pain they are experiencing is to get out of it.
Endorphins or chemically induced consciousness will do that for you, for just a moment's respite from this horrible place they are trapped in, our
limited, cannibalistic, society.

Cisco -----"99%" can't visit National Parks????? WHAT are you talking about??
I look around my town and see prosperity, for the most part, and the unemployment in Redding, CA is about 14% right now (and it was similar before
2007). Even at "14%" that still leaves 86% with jobs and/or incomes, and they seem to be doing pretty good.
Me thinks you are exagerating!!!! 
I'm with Skeet on this one.

You are naive Barry, travel the U.S. and look around; glad Redding is doing well.
I am not referring to the 99% Barry, only part of them.
I am referring to the ones who have no hope, who cannot afford to visit or pay the fee for a national park visit. Who do not have the fuel money to
get away from wherever they are. Who do not have a vehicle.
I am also referring to those people, generally young, who come to our beach city and get totally wasted on drugs, alcohol and back-seat balling on the
week-end just so they can get up enough to go to a dismal, non-fulfilling dead-end job for a week so they have the money to get fouled-up again the
following week-end.
These 86% with jobs or incomes in your area have enough disposable income to take off for two weeks or a month a year and visit the parks, enjoy a
hotel room, pay $100+ for a single Sea-World entrance ticket? I doubt it. They are hanging on I believe. That’s what all the economic indicators and
my traveling show me, glad you see a different vision. It’s a quality of life issue and it sure as hell isn’t happening in SoCal.

Cisco----------Those folks you refer too have ALWAYS been with us, for reasons I cannot comprehend, and what I really don't understand is why they
have no gumption. When I was their age (+ or -) I had no money for gas, etc. either, but I got a job (actually I had 23 jobs before I finally settled
on one that I stuck with) and managed to get by, and was reasonably happy. I even got married and had 2 kids, which meant that I had to have 2 jobs
simultaniously, and go to College in my spare time (and I graduated)------and my wife did NOT work as she was taking care of the kids.
As I said before, I am with Skeet on this one!!! Today's kids are so spoiled, and I spread the blame around------bad parenting, bad media-whining
gloom and doom victim senarios, but most of all the Liberal mind-set that sets up most of these kids for victim-mentality and failure before they even
start. We get what we sew, and now it is staring us in the face!!!! Thank Gawd there are a few kids that see the light and are prospering (my 4 kids
and 2 grown grandkids) and believe me I feel really lucky, but a little smug too for setting them up to succeed.
Like Skeet, I am disgusted with the rest that can't figure out how to prosper in a Nation that gives them so much opportunity!
Naive indeed?!?!?!?!?

Why on earth are "Sex and Dope" exclusive of these wonderful places?
For that matter, a little "Rock 'n' Roll" would enhance the experience for some...
Anybody up for a Rattlesnakes Rave?

13.5 pesos per US dollar today...
If this keeps up, maybe gas will be cheap before they raise the price again.
