I guess I just never thought about myself that way. Is that a good, or bad thing? Dont ask Gus. His furnace is not vented properly. Worse yet, his pilot ain't lit.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

Ground Control to Major Tom.. Gus's floating in a most peculiar way..... He’s consulting the “high priests of NASA” 😜

what if folks who carry the theological club, and folks who carry the science club are both wrong?
do know anyone that would trade their scientific developed devices carried under their 2A rights for the safety and comfort in the arms of Jesus? shepherds are not 'take a bullit for you' bodyguards. theologian types talk of the promise of a paradise, yet they be highly fearful of leaving this scientifically infused and inferior wicked world they know.

i've always been amazed at how the romans managed to lose their empire.
They lost it the same way we're losing ours, through unfettered immigration. When I was first deployed to Italy in 1996 I looked around and asked myself how these people could have ruled the known world at one time. The laziness of the modern day Italian makes the Spanish look industrious. Nice people mind you, but they sure know how to pass a day without accomplishing anything of value. The answer is that modern Italians aren't really descendents of the Romans, or at least they don't have much Roman blood in them. Rome had been so populated by traders and slaves from around the mediterranean that there wasn't much "roman" left in the Romans, they had been bred out of existence. By the time the Roman empire officially fell in 476 it wasn't so much that it fell to invaders but rather that the emperor was deposed by a member of the roman army who was of germanic tribal descent. The emperor at that time was himself germanic, the Roman emperor hadn't been a real roman in a long time. Multiculturalism is what did the Romans in.

Nothing lasts forever. Some economists, the neo classicists, seem to believe that perpetual growth is not only possible but desirable.

I’m of the opinion that civilozation hasn’t done anything “new” but repeats the same old stuff, to a more extreme level, over and over.

Go from Ryegate, to Wisdom, to Pinedale, and then to Denver. Civilization is not gone, but it damn sure isn’t to be found in the big cities. The divergence from the first three to the last is an assault on the senses. Soon as my job is not location dependent(next year), I will be in a more civilized location. And Denver likely will never see me again, nor any place east of Wyoming. What is left of civilization is in the flyover country. The rest needs to be burnt to ash to exterminate the vermin that have infested a once civilized society.

the continuous dumbing down of the population to follow and not lead is beginning to have it's effects.
atlanta has grown from a lovely southern small city in the late 50-s & 60's, to the urban monster it is now.
and the growth continues. we need to have several deadly shootings each day to meet the stringent quotas.
the good news is that when the urth's population reaches 14 billion we can have two each of all the individual cities.
