Go ahead fight the battle at home with your neighbors and possibly loose the war as a result of weakening defenses.
To be frank and to cross over into poorly managed responsibilities of respectability
I have less concern over two seven year olds fondling and more concern from the overreacting, good intentioned adults. Vengeance is not a virtue no matter how it gets spun.

Thanks for sharing that Rusty. The Internet Encyclopedia is great
I just read a few paragraphs from that 1/5/67 speech and there’s a lot to take in there and contemplate over.
You too?
I love dads like this.
How close to truth is this?
Thought and homework for Dems + Repubs:
But first let me paint this picture.
Repubs need the Dems more than the Dems need them. Why ? …. Because Dems by their very nature push the envelope to advance change. Repubs, by their nature, fit better at managing change. Take away the Dems curious spirit and life would be BORING.
Now here’s the homework, because the final exam is approaching
Dems: Slow down you move to fast, gota make the morning last,
…overwhelmed Repubs overreact.
Repubs: Change is inevitable, manage it. Controlling will delay. Force will delay. Ridiculing delays . Accept and get to work, otherwise the push back intensifies. Now the clumsy left hand has no choice but to take over the right hands job. So let’s stop becoming pissed, blame, and rattle sabers and let them be who they are because it’s distracting, and Just in case you didn’t notice, the fly is open and we forgot the responsible undergarments Zip it up Zippy and focus, so the next time we open that mouth, it says something responsible. Give peace a chance.

There are consequences when you vote wrong!
Yep, Bidenomics.
I'm usually in a good mood. I've never felt blue.
Rusty, I think Amazon and looting are responsible..... Not necessarily in that order.
It was obvious to me 25-30 years ago that retail chains..........JUST LIKE commercial office space was overbuilt. I couldn't fathom that many stores so directly competing for even this very densely populated metro. There's a pretty flat limit to how many retailers can succeed given the income levels and population density.
Fast forward to 2024. Many, many of these stores failed and are boarded up. Strip malls, stand alone and super malls are all struggling. Yeah, Amazon and Walmart are mopping up Mom and Pop/Main Street retail and they're also wiping the floor with the vast majority of their corporate chain store retail competition. It's either Big Box or mail order.
If some of the failures can be traced to downward economic spirals thay doesn't suprise me, nor does it contradict my theory of malinvestment. Remember, those coporations and shareholder ventures heavily owned by pension funds and the vast majority of the malinvestment is OPM. (other people's money)
I just paid more to ship my van than I even paid for the van in the first place. I KBB’d what my van is worth and damn if I didn’t pay more for shipping than I could sell it for right now. Not sure what to think of that but I still have no vehicle payment and that’s what counts.
I remember back when vans were a dime a dozen and you could pick up a decent used van for 2k or less. I’ve bought several for 1k or less.
My buddy bought a newer Ram Promaster last year and his van is in the shop more than my van and my van has 560k on it. Makes me hesitant to even consider buying a new vehicle at all which is why I paid to have mine shipped. What would you have done?

How far are you shipping it?
NC to Arizona, little over 2k miles. $2400 with the extra weight I have in the back. $1800 empty. I only paid $2100 for the van when I bought it maybe 10 years ago.
I shipped my sister a car from LA to Hawaii, and it was $3000. Because it was going in a boat, they demanded that you had no more than 1/4 tank of gas, and the car could not have any items inside of it. We had hoped to place some bulky items, since it was all going to the same place, but the shipped nixed that idea quickly.
