Can you imagine the response to Skeet's spelling in his profeshunal reports?
Maybe he is at that point in his life when he wants his accomplishments to be recognized and appreciated....and he is his best cheerleader 
Kinda feel sorry for him, kinda respect his efforts (whether or not they were quite as grand as he perceives them to be).
Kinda like the burro that knows his way into town and back....but can two-step when the tune appeals to him.
Too easy a target at times, unfortunately.
Don't believe everything you think....

Skeet's history of accomplishments and great life decisions (living in Baja, etc.) speaks volumes to me--------the rest of this chatter is just noise,
to me.

Ged, according to Pew, 50% of Americans believe that Jesus is going to kill everyone and take them to everlasting life in the sky DURING their normal

just KNEW you were right and you didn't have to study the data and deal with the consequences? When they couple this sense of superiority with a
moral code which places little value on accountability (Jesus died for your sins) and a nine word explanation of reality, I find it hard to
communicate with them.
A true Vonaguttian "chitstorm" is brewing in the sea and in the sky made of both natural and human causes, denial, I judge, won't make the outcome any
more positive. |
Brilliant!!!

If we don't kill the

When did conservation and the protection of resources
become a polarizing issue? We should all want to take care of the planet, and make sure our activities are sustainable, no matter what our political
persuasions.

So, Skeet.....what do you do with YOUR grandchildren? Give them encouragement to make up their own minds.....or follow your dogma?

Mogoget:
I taught my Children to Investigate any of their problems then make up their own Minds about that problem,
I donot have any worries about the Future nor do I worry about the Past. I beleive in Now!!
I have never wanted to Control peoples Beliefs. I think that the Individual is much more important than the Group.
As a very Young Kid in Texas my Father told me" Go Hook-up old pete and Jake{The Mules} and plow the lower 20 Acres.
I started to do and made a Mistake and slapped old Jake on the Blindside. He drug me across that Field of Goathead. My Mistake.
I never hit old Jake again while Hooking them up.!!!

The big Problems of today are only Addressed by the Liberal Louts as they do not have the Ability to Solve those Problems they encounter.
One of the Dumbest things going today is the Louts trying to blame Slavery on Todays People.
Why do they not offer a Solution to those Problems instead of calling everybody a Racist????

I guess you first have to be able to see or be aware that there is a problem. Sadly, most people formulate their opinions and beliefs from the
corporate controlled and owned media. Lucky for them there seems to be an endless supply of cheerleaders to tout any idea that our current path may
need some course correction.

Spot on Cardon Man. David, put down the pom poms. If we have to hear that same canned answer one more time .
Its old, tiresome and used to get people off the subject that we are f ing up the planet for profit.
