"Confiscating wealth from those who have earned it, inherited it,
or got lucky is never going to help 'the poor.' Poverty isn't
caused by some people having more money than others, just as obesity
isn't caused by McDonald's serving super-sized orders of French fries
Poverty, like obesity, is caused by the life choices that dictate
results." - John Tucci,
There is also this song, which gets a lot of airplay here.

It is the time of year to reflect carefully on such things. Bought my
Poppy this morning.

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered;

Somehow the image of Caesar's legionnaires tenderly caring for babes-in-
arms does not strike me as politically conservative. Limited government
means you keep the size of the brute squad as small as possible for the
soldierly mission, which does not include cradling infants. What's next?
Our feminized military literally wet-nursing war orphans?
But historically...troops have done "good deeds" along with the tasks of
war. Sometimes on their own ..sometimes as ordered from above.
Other times..the orders have been to kill everyone. Shrug
Id far rather see troops displaying their humanity when it doesnt
interfer with the mission.....then having them think they are Superior
to the enemy and treating them as the Japs, mongols and other butchers
have done historically.

"when you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow."
Lyndon B. Johnson
I can't think of too many places where the US has captured hearts and minds.

Nothing. Nothing to do with misc.survivalism either. But then again
it's Gummer. Use your Bozo Filter, he was an irresponsible, lying,
asshole before his strokes.
And hasn't improved since.

I like how Curls replies to the same messages as I, not long after. He
claims that he has me kill-filed. But both Curls and the Douchebag read
every word with great interest. I'm really flattered.
But of course. They both lie repeatedly in some insane effort to make
themselves "look superior"...and never catch on that they are both well
known fools and their methods are engraved in stone.
