NEVER.What are the odds better is possible? Greater odds are that better is impossible.And so we fight over pipelines and big bucks and clean air clean water clean ground.Cutting down and destroying one to build and get rich off the other.RICH RULES so far. WHY THE HE** is that so? Money not only talks but beats to death tramples on and grinds up those with other views.And so it goes. Capitalism is the greatest system in the world we are told. Nothing better than making oodles of money.Making money is the only valuable way to determine if you are winning or if you losing it is said and believed and prayed to and worshipped.He who has the most toys when he dies wins. On the other hand folks with no toys at all d... less

Gloom and doom is ahead of them but then something happens.They begin to rise and ultimately soar and end their lives in high estate being respected admired and liked.Do they do that to themselves or is it inborn and inescapable?Are we born a success or a failure and then just live the inevitable path?What makes us think/prefer one road rather than another?

They rely on themselves though of course if offered kindness and assistance they are smart enough and appreciative enough to accept it. But they don't SEEK it or GROVEL for it or BELLYCRAWL for it or LIE for it or commit TREASON for it or filthify themselves and all who come in contact with them.Different strokes. NEEDY SEEDY GREEDY. Self-sufficient. Is it a choice OR are we born that way?

Don't take my word for it. He asked John Kelly at a Memorial service held at Arlington National Cemetery whose son died in battle in Afghanistan in 2010 why anyone would volunteer to serve in the military? He allegedly said "I don't get it. What's in it for them?" To a man grieving over the loss of his son in battle protecting our country. Perfect timing once again for the absolutely obtusely heartless soulless dimwit footoo.The footoo* RAILED against lowering the flag to honor John McCain when John died. He said McCain was an "f---ing loser"He threatened to disown his son who wanted to join the military. The son backed down to honor his inheritanceHe said he didn't like heroes who got caughtWhen he was in France and was supposed to visit a grave where 2000 American soldiers were buried he did not go.

You won't like it!He praised the troops for their patriotism and courage throughout. He said "you're the finest generation of warriors the world has ever known." He had also praised them for their "incredible sacrifices that they made for our country".Also and pertinent. Among African Americans they sometimes refer to one another using the "N" word. I'm not sure why m but understanding is that it is said with no malice or hate. In fact it is said to be "affectionate". However no one else dare use that term.So in closing Joe Biden did in fact say "stupid bas**rds". The troops laughed. Do you really think they would have laughed Joe not told them how awesome they were?As usual the half-a**ed live for such half-a**ed attacks. Give a bit of the story but don't give the entire story.

You never have enough. You always want more. Not because you need it but because you LUST after it.Strange that.Those who have less appreciate it more than those who have an abundance.Any moral there? If so I can't find one.

I just watched “Out of the Past” (1947) starring Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, and Jane Greer. I’ve seen parts of it before, but tonight was the first time I saw it from beginning to end. It’s a classic film noir selection with exactly that type of story line, and I loved it thoroughly.

Overall, I viewed older people with respect, didn't begin to find them very relatable until I was well into adulthood, even approaching middle-age. The older I get, the more I've realize that making assumptions about people based on their age is foolish and robs us of opportunities to learn from people both much older and much younger than ourselves. less

He bought the only lawyer who would work for him. A 4th rate South Carolina nobody. Over 60 lawsuits were derided decried and dumped. The intellectual level of anyone associated with the former oval office occupant is immeasurable. Not because it exceeds but because it is barely visible at the bottom line. And the braggarts continue on. And the delusional march on. Do you pity them? less

Bet he never once attacked a GOLD STAR family or insulted a military hero even after he was dead as the former oval office occupant repeatedly did to Senator JOHN McCAIN.Also bet the former occupant of the white house never ever had or will ever have a hero son who died.Anytime gonna take my bet?
