Advertising works the same way I do, N G! If a person is going to sell his work he has to advertise, and that means over and over again. My work is not as close to being the same old same old as TV advertising. Promoting my ideas to the public, for no charge, is like freedom of speech, and freedom of cost. I charge nothing for the same information that is sold on a regular basis, by other people. And yes the rich have a great deal to do with the crash of our economy, which occurred in late 2008, and is still going on. http://youtu.be/tubgMAh5s74

He didn't mean wait for your neighbor to be the first to do the loving. He didn't even mean to retaliate if we get no love in return.

Chicken Little responses are always gonna be here, markdavd! "The World is coming to an end and these people know it. Whether i's at work, at home, in their relationship, the economy, or whatever, a collapse is imminent, and as sure as GOD is in Heaven it's going to be horrible."

That's not a very nice thing to say, Mrs. O!

Thank you, LTD!

I simply ask myself, WWJD? That takes care of it. He based his actions on the basis of solution, instead of on the bases of the problem. I find that it works better to solve a problem than to concentrate on it devastation.

It's relative, LPPT, I think! Look how much Japan's belief system was adapted by the U.S, after WWII. And, look at the Vietcong's belief system being utilized in the U.S after the Vietnam war.

I'm so sorry, Mrs. O, but you seem to have been sick long before reading this exchange. Is there anything I can do to help you get over this illness?

Mr. Mill is a great man, in my book. gun! And, you are also a great man, in my book! Mr. Mill pointed out, many times in his life, that materialistic things were not as important as the most vital resources to ever exist on Earth. (human beings). Some people will use up all the resources, a country has, to pile onto their materialistic World, and will then move on to other countries to use the vital resources there.

"Among the sayings and discourses imputed to him [Jesus] by his biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the most lovely benevolence; and others again of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism, and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions should have proceeded from the same being." I love me some former member! I don't mean I want to take here from her husband, but I do mean she is a wonderful, and understanding, individual. I know she has also made a good choice in the husband she has alrea

Excerpt from a rich man. “OUR leaders have asked for “shared sacrifice.” But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched. These and other blessings are showered upon us by legislators in Washington who feel compelled to protect us, much as if we were spotted owls or some other endangered species. It’s nice to have friends in high places.” Is he lying, and may have some kind of vendetta against his rich friends? Or, is he simply telling the truth? Look for yourself! Wha

It is very likely that the whole reason a person, who may be hiding from personal attack, is NOT debating with you is because they’ve made a conscious decision NOT to speak out about these issues, which protects themselves from the pain and heartache it can often cause them. The phrase “you’re bumping”, or other "bomb phrases" can often lead to an increase of anger and/or hurt, and blows things to smithereens. Sometimes it just leads to greater emphasis and exasperation in the disagreement. Being accused of insensitivity is another way people lay blame on a poster. I call this emotion

I didn't think Hillbillies knew how to brown nose as well as city slickers!

By accusing me of bumping, people enliven their sense of caution and anxiety regarding the matter being discussed. They like to think they are provoking feeling of guilt, associated with the fact that I am not “behaving” the way I have been trained to behave. By accusing me of bumping, a person passes the blame to me, rather than consider what I might have actually said, which may have been to offensive and hurtful for them to actually talk about. I don't know, but that seems to be an appropriate opinion.

John Stuart Mill put it this way: "A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." When you hide from personal attack, and you don't Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, you have no chance of being free. Thinking that "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose," is the way you are living your life.

Accusations are only alleged wrong doing. All the evidence has not been pondered with simple accusations. I talk to myself more than I talk to anyone else in the World. I am with myself more than I am with anyone else in the World. I take care of myself more than I take care of anyone else in the World. That is the actual evidence. Bumping something up is someone else's idea of evidence; NOT MINE! If I have something I want to add to my post I have no problem adding it. And, I will add to my post's at will. The information I add to any post is critical information, which would do peop

I think I will stay with Wells Fargo. I am in the process of learning how to get around some of their owner oriented (as opposed to customer oriented) services. For one thing I am getting rid of my debit card, and for another thing I am watching them with a lot of extra eternal vigilance.

Here's what the rich are saying; OUR leaders have asked for “shared sacrifice.” But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched. "While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks. Some of us are investment managers who earn billions from our daily labors but are allowed to classify our income as “carried interest,” thereby getting a bargain 15 percent tax rate.

When people really start thinking, after a few more fugg ups, on the part of the Tea Party, they will be able to read a chart that is plain as the nose on their faces a lot better. Here is what fugged up our economy. Yo can clearly see it was not the bottom 50% if you know anything about statistics, and how to read a chart. and it clearly was not Obama that brought this 2007 statistical chart into existence. ,

I'll tell ya what. Mr,Dis; I am likeing the Tea Party more and more. I hope they get strong enough to run on the republican ticket, while some independent runs on a thurd party ticket, in 2012.

I think Dick Proeneke worked with heavy equipment, of some sort, before he went to Alaska, at 51 years of age. The people in this country would do very well with only a few pointers from old Dick. I myself burn firewood, cut and split it. I grow a big garden, every year, and my wife cans what we don't eat. I have an elaborate rain barrel system that collects 530 Gal. of rain water. I am working on soldering a bunch of small solar panels together across the top of my house, to generate some electricity. I am not as smart as Dick, because I had to learn how to make hinges from him.

Here's what I think, BB! former member does a really good job of illustrating her points and is a very intelligent, articulate, well-spoken, and honest person. You rock former member!!!

OMG, PWilhelm! Thank you so much! You are a rare soul. I have very few people, around here, who understand what you just said you understand. I appreciate people like Dick Proekene, and I appreciate people who like him as much as you do.

Let me do a little guessing TC! You don't seem to be one of the smartest Conservatives. Bless your little ol pee picking heart. "Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives." ~ John Stuart Mill

I can see that you, indeed, did not look at my links, NG! But, I still appreciate your reply. People are getting less and less education, in this country, and the ones who think they are getting an education is only being programmed to think like you just admitted that you think, in your above statements. What I call an educated man is Richard Proenneke, in the links I posted. I used to think like you, and I worked for a company. But, noe I think like Richard Proenneke.
