PC and stupid political smiles just make us sick!
A lot of us here never bought into that crap either, but it's been forced down our society's throat.

IMHO, his best works were "The Stand" and "Salem's Lot"
Paid to take days off. Government workers are genius inventors, like the invention of new holidays.

Thanks for the corrections, and clarifications PAR35.
I'm still trying to figure out why the US and Britain allowed the french to have an occupied sector in Germany. IMHO, they didn't earn the right to one.

I'm trying to avoid ranting, but what ***** excesses.I don't blame you, even after events are proved to be true, the Libs still can't admit they were wrong. Have to throw in that slam in their accounts.

The CNN series is what this series of threads is based on. What I like and am impressed by is the way our readers are catching the "spin" and or ommissions included. :-)
The "blacklist" was done by the studios because they rightly judged the public wouldn't want to watch commie propaganda movies, something modern Hollywood has forgotten.
Today, the studios and the actors/directors are the Commie propagandists.

Are the sessions you're going to targeted specifically at running a Wild Bird's Unlimited store, or running a small business in general?

They're pretty much targeted to running the Wild Bird Center type of store. Although there is some "general" small business tips.

Wild Bird Center Is this the store name? I'm had it twisted into Wild Bird's Unlimited, which has a few sites in my area.

I'm still trying to figure out why the US and Britain allowed the french to have an occupied sector in Germany. IMHO, they didn't earn the right to one. According to the book I just read, Stalin was opposed and Roosevelt described as reluctant out of concern that the minor allies might also seek a share. They (and the authors are British) say that Churchill pushed for it and list several reasons. First, he wanted to spread out the burden of the occupation. Second, the Americans had threatened to leave Europe in a couple of years and he was trying to buy French support to help balance the Soviets. Stalin went along when the French zone was carved out of the British and American zones. Even then, Roosevelt wanted to keep the French off of the Allied Control Commission, but Harry Hopkins sided with Churchill and the French.
As it turned out, initially the French behaved much like the Russians, looting industrial facilities for reparations and living off the land while the Germans starved. (Except in the Saar, which they at the time hoped to incorporate into France.)

I knew Stalin only agreed if the frecnh sector came out of the Brit and US sectors. Didn't know it was Churchill who pushed for it though.

We decided to go with Wild Bird Center. We looked into Wild Bird's Unlimited but like the Center's philosophy and more freedom to operate the store our way.
