Ahhhh but your *type* is infinitely more accurate than the prattling of an individual who entered a field because they knew they themselves were *nuts*.
"If I had to make a guess, I'd say the insanity drives, or at least initiates the destructive behavior. It can/may then feed on itself as evidenced by these two charming ladies. They started out small; sitins and the like, then graduated to bigger and bolder acts of, well, terrorism."
I'd agree with your sage take, I always do. ;^)
"Again, if I had to make a guess, I suspect we will probably be blessed with more such behavior from larger and larger pools of lunatics. The fabric of our society is becoming frayed; very frayed."
Indeed it 'tis.
Methinks this *fraying* is unlike any witnessed before in our beloved Republic too, my friend.
This fraying's been instigated, perpetuated & continually aggravated by a lower than dirt Liberal-Socialist quisling media who didn't exist up to a few years ago.
The degree of their efforts is unprecedented & so will their success(es), I suspect.
What'll exactly will be the outcome no one really can accurately predict, can they?
That *accuracy* is what's changed, I hate to say.
Today the Liberal-Socialists enjoy total access to a public who happily *&* voluntarily plug in to their Liberal-Socialist-Communist bilge on average 8 hours of every single day, often more or so I'm told.
That amount of exposure surely must be toxic to even the toughest among us.
It's frightening *&* sickening...*Frickening*?
Since the inception of the Republic fathers have had doubt(s) concerning their sons ability to pull their own weight, keep the dogs of life at bay & therefore the Republic safe; but, this is a whole new thang & it really doesn't look real *promising* at this point.
"One is forced to ask if our effete culture can or will develop the backbone necessary to deal with it. I have my doubts."
Justifiably so, my friend.
Though personally inasmuch as I feel I'm one of the few believing we'll prevail this election? The win won't be by much and the Liberal-Socialists will have gotten a LOT closer than ever before.
Just a little more *tweaking* & we'll lose it, it'll be gone just as sure as God made little green apples & it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime.
>Just thought a little conundrum might spice up (what looks to be shaping up as) an ordinary Tuesday.
"Heh. Conundrums we can handle on an out patient basis; the impossible takes a day or two ;^)"
HA!!
As I said before, a wry humor & very patentable. {g}
Hope the family and you are doing well this fine day, my friend. Have noticed y'all receiving more than your fair share of rain down of late, too.
Was hoping you were far enough north in the piny woods to miss most of it.
Or so I prayed.
It's been unusually cold up here, even snow from time to time but it ain't lasting long, either.
Guess if one chooses to live here they'd better damned well get used to all that.
Only real reason I mentioned it was because a little Global Warming sure would come in handy right about now. :o)
In any event KnI are heading south to Newburgh (IN) (~1,400 miles round trip) to spend a long weekend with friends.
Should be fun driving the Z Car though, first time I ever looked forward to the hellacious drive the entire length of Illinois, I swear.
One of those in attendance at the home we'll stay is the quintessential Limousine Liberal, also.
Truly disgusting given the mans age & degree of success he's enjoyed. Totally unexplainable.
I spoke with my host on the phone & was told this person intends on picking a political fight with me.
*That's* how foolish this one is. ;^)
Told the host to relay a *message* to this guy: If after I've driven 700 miles, had a couple Jim Beam OTRs & he starts [any] crap with me? I intend ripping the squirrel OFF his head & bitch slapping 'em with it." ~quote unquote.
Absolutely the WORST toupee' I've ever seen, *but* his weakness nonetheless & one I shall *exploit* to the Nth degree! :o)
And FGS, I *will*. ;^)
No patience whatsoever for that kind of malarkey anymore, so this is one "friendship" I'm willing to sacrifice.
OK so that'll be my contribution to/for, "the cause", *one* Limousine Liberal.
...what can I put you down for? {g}
However, one item: About a week ago we got ~14" of rain in a 24 hour period. The creeks were up a little ;^)
The nearest creek(aptly named most of the time, Dry Creek), never got closer than 100' or so. Would have had to come up another 6' - 8' or so to present any problems. The main concern with flooding like this is the snakes, including some nasty ones, head for higher ground(like where I am). They tend to hang around for a while even after the water goes down so one is well advised to watch their step for a while.
Gotta hit the sack!
Best,
