even wabigoon in his idealistic world knows that.

in terms of progress, and movement forward, how can we help?

voting helps, at least i reckon it does. but i can't prove it scientifically.

what if folks who carry the theological club, and folks who carry the science club are both wrong?

whoa! how can that possibly be? well, there's a water hole (the urth?), and folks are defending the water hole.

civilization is hanging by a thread? why, that's just crazy talk. listen to my neighbor who drives a mercedes. he'll tell you.

I guess I just never thought about myself that way. Is that a good, or bad thing?

i've always been amazed at how the romans managed to lose their empire.

they had it all, at the time pretty much.

then hadrian's wall.

and those pesky germans and the rhine river.

and the next thing ya know, the irish were saving western civilization.

if i didn't have cherokee ancestors, could i grow corn, squash & pumpkins?

the High Priests at NASA are working overtime to puncture a hole in the atmosphere?

I don't know if civilization as a whole is hanging on by a thread but I know each individual is hanging onto civilization by a thread.

katy knows full well how to bar the door. but will the order ever be issued?

i believe if it was left up to me, i'd choose to vote. for better or worse.

i got out-voted long ago and far away with johnson's crowd.

that taught me a lesson i've never forgotten.

Johnson has to be one, if not the worst presidents in the history of the United States.

totally in agreement.

ol peanut carter was a great state senator for sw georgia agricultural district.

after that, things just continued further & further downhill.

and it ain't stopped yet.

what we've got here is a conundrum, whatever that is.

in all honesty, i don't guess i have ever been over-taxed.

because if i had, i'm pretty sure i would have refused to pay.

but i have felt the pain of near over-taxation more than once in life.

it doesn't seem fair to tax the workers with excessive taxes to cover for the slackards.
