what a BEAUTIFUL picture. That 72 Sears catalogue... Honestly, I don't see the nation unifying. We are extremely divided, which is being done by the politicians on the LEFT AND THE RIGHT and the sheeple are just baaaing their way to destruction. It is unfortunate- nay, criminal, as the United...

rather like what was done during Elian Gonzales and at Waco ...during the Clinton administration. Disgusting. You do realize, folks, that the reason why this abomination of Bush is in the White House is bcause he ran against Gov Ann Richards in Texas and WON because of her (and the Clinton...

personally I hate... the term 'nu-cu-ler' -- it reminds me of my boyhood in working class New Jersey. BUT FOLKS IT IS AN ACCENT VARIATION. AS I HAVE SAID ON OTHER THREADS, HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU TOLERATE DIVERSITY WHEN YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T? I despise the murder of the English language - and this...

you know , folks.. ...For such 'tolerant' gay folks I see an awful lot of hatred on that side too. Personally I'm rather glad that I am on strike. Nate

Ultimately, what it really means.. ..is these people are taking control of their lives, and their time. We do not have a television. Do not miss it. I get news from 'net, and we have music, books, and conversation. We tend to live pretty '50s ourselves - not in the sense that wifey wears an...

It is, but... It is, but this was actually in the introduction to Anthem, in some (30 year?) memorial re-issue. Now, if you want to see the current economic times and political times, read Atlas Shrugged.

there is no question... that those on the left seriously discriminate against the perceived folks on the right. Namely, if you are caucasian, male, and a firearms owner, you are instantly suspect. And the democrats wonder why they have trouble attracting the votes of white men. Ironically...

That's not quite true, Panthera. HIPPA regulations state that pre-existing conditions are reduced or eliminated IF you already have had health insurance. Having said that, I am completely unimpressed with both parties' approach to health care. <shrug> No surprise. Both parties are out of...

regarding the fashion statement... ...of the boy with the rolled up jeans, western shirt, and cowoboy hat. In the west, sights like this are common. Wrangler makes jeans (not the Wranglers you can buy in walmart!) that last a LONG time. Many boys here have rolled up cuffs. As for western...

too bad that... ...the clothes are still dirty. I agree about rewearing clothing btw. Sweaters, especially -- I am usually wearing a shirt AND an undershirt under a sweater. So unless I spill something on it, wearing it once and washing it willw ear it out by washing, not wearing. Nate

hot water! One of the great tragedies of modern USA is that no one seems to use HOT WATER any more! "Save energy, wash in cold water!" Sorry, folks, but especially with front loading washing machines, tankless water heaters and such -- HOT WATER gets clothes cleaner! When we had our euro...

I think you're right, Rocketwarrior. And this is a microcosm of American society. Unfortunate.

interestingly enough.. .this points out that stainless appliances are no longer the in thing maybe? They do mention 4 trailer loads of stainless appliances? Nate

so in other words... You don't care if you are under totalitarian rule, if it is socialist/communist. Well I begin to understand what's wrong with both sides of the aisle in USA now.

Panthera, you're sounding unlike yourself. Anyone can find anything they want. Who cares? I've been called a whole bunch of things on this forum - <shrug> but then again I'm ex-LEO and so maybe I have thicker skin than most people. I will say, for the record, I see NO differences between the...
