Re: Gradually, then suddenly
Well, the parade is over and the anti-King demo here in Newark DE achieved not much. I was disappointed that none of the Tanks in the Washington birthday parade had a subway tunnel fall in under them. It was a wonderful historic demo of American know-how when it comes to killing people and blowing t...

Re: Insurrection in Los Angeles
The left has supported concentration of power and favored limitations on constitutional protections? It wasn't the left that created the HUAC and the Hollywood Blacklist.
I guess among many things Liberty is ignorant of the long history of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Re: Music recommendations
Thanks BSG. One tribute I heard on radio said Brian Wilson was always about music of joy. I certainly need more of that now.

W O W ! I wonder if New Mexico is one of those countries? Perhaps they are just quoting a Whitehouse staff person?

Re: Car advice, please!
Toyota is not perfect either. My sister drives a Prius (don't know what year) It is her second Prius. Her husband drives the biggest Toyota pick-up, six years old. It is very much a work truck. They live in central Illinois and they deal with about the only Toyota dealer around. They love the vehicl...

Re: Insurrection in Los Angeles
I think this 'Insurrection' you are describing is in Los Angeles, California. There is NO 'flood of foreigners' coming into LA. The ICE carefully disguised agents there have a hard time finding enough people they can incarcerate to fill a school bus. "No legal right to be here' has too frequently no...

Re: Well... I Thought it was Funny.....
It is paper spray. Harmless but effective. It produces a thin layer of opaque paper on what ever you target. Suddenly the van is covered in a layer of paper. The occupants must stop, get out, and peel off the paper. See! Modern non-lethal defense arsenal is always expanding. No longer does one need ...

Trump is a liar? How can that be? is that special enlightenment derived from special experience as a white man in South Africa? Next you are gonna tell me that yesterday the sun came up in the East. Is there no shame to what fake news can be spread these days?

I think the best advice today is time on the oil is more important than mileage. Me personally, i like every six months. It has become very difficult for me locally to find a place that will take my used oil if I change it myself. Some authorities say I am engaged in superstition, but I prefer to ch...

Pants down? I read the lead post in this thread and I visualize a male type person running down a street, with a cluster of cooking pans rattling behind him. But either way, I too think it is funny.

Re: My Buddy Grok on TwitterX
IMNSHO, This 'Grok'' based on the example posted here (please remember that I have never, ever logged into X or twitter.) is blasphemy against the Lord Heinlein. But I giggle to note the use of the pronoun 'they'. Is that not evidence of the dreaded woke syndrome?

Re: How to make the world a better place:
Never seen anything like it? I guess you never stumbled into 'The Onion" or the "Sacremento Brie" to name two that were centers of attention in the past but are gone now. On religion, I like 'Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian.' She is still around.

Re: Legal question
Post modernism on full display. There is no truth. There is no objective reality. Only reflections of particular observations, which are measurably different depending on the position of the observer. This is the old lesson of the fable of the blind men and the elephant. All are blind for no one can...
