  1. Re:Louisiana too on Boo! The House Majority PAC Is Watching You · · Score: 2

    I live in the same city with the Koch bros. Festivities begin in the Spring when the activists from all over flock to protest the Kochs at their black glass and steel building. There's camping in a nearby nature park, games, food, sex, pot and chickadeer parading in skimpy springwear. Keep an eye on the media for this extravaganza and bring the kids!

    This wasn't a Democrazy until the early 20th century and had nothing to do with the Indians.

    Had the resident Aborigines been more proactive in governing "their" land and interacting with settlers, instead of shunning contact and NOT showing strength and intention, things may have worked out differently.
    As settlers crowded the coasts and "Indians" moved, rather than standing ground and making some attempt at assimilation, the settlers did the natural thing; they TOOK POSSESSION . No one was there arguing for the Indian, not even the Indian. It was completely Darwinian. Give the Indians a Darwin Award.
    Now look at world history, the wars, the territorial boundaries that changed, the people who moved across the face of the Earth and assimilated as they went.
    Nothing was stolen from the Indians, the Indians owned nothing to begin with and now they have Casinos. That's a fine lot better than happened to the conquered of the rest of the world, throughout history. A good thing we came along too! Indians had already hunted several species to extinction, Giant ground sloths, Camels and they were working the Mastodons when shit got cold. The forest fires before we came weren't always set by lightning; it was tribal entertainment to set a pine afire and watch the pretty colored fire of an evening. This went wrong more than once.

    Nope, not going to buy into that popular misconception that Indians got anything stolen. Lucky they weren't enslaved. I figure they got a hell of a bargain, when you consider the rest of the world.
    If we still had that mindset, Mexico would be NEXT! So get off your regurgitative high horse and apply some brainpower to your statement of misguided outrage. You just sound silly. Indians are doing pretty damn well for a conquered race and the amount of effort that they have ever applied to anything. They simply lost an evolutionary battle in their history and are currently adapting to the best of their abilities.
    So you can guess where the U.S. Negroes are on a sympathy chart as well..... We might as well feel bad for the European immigrants that were downtrodden as they immigrated in the 1800s, at least they TRIED to get ahead and didn't blame their problems on EVERYBODY ELSE!!! (the hallmark of a loser)

    Of course, we are talking about MASS civil disobedience here, not just a few pissed of activists, but, people who want to truely enact a protest that has the effect of nudging the economy enough to wake them the fuck up. When a significant amount of the population pulls the chips off the stock market roulette table, a hiccough occurs, big enough to say" hey, my money, MY RULES, get off your payola sponsored asses and fix this!"
    In case you didn't get that.
    Let them TRY to punish a significant amount of population, completely within their rights, to do what the want to in this situation.
    Sometimes you can talk, sometimes you have to growl, now and then you yell, even scream. The last bull that wouldn't go up the chute was persuaded to do so by the force of a Louisville Slugger between the eyes.

    I agree. Close your bank accounts, use check cashing services and pay everything with cash or money orders.

    Scotch-Guard every bit of the machine that you can. It will REPEL water. It may not be a perfect solution, but, if you keep incidental water OFF the machine, it isn't as likely to wind up IN the machine.
    Unrelated, but handy, use Scotch-Guard on ANY speakers you have. Both sides. This keeps humidity (and water, beer, piss) from expanding the speaker fibers randomly to allow the balance of pull on the frame to become unequal and start scraping your speaker coils on the cylinder walls or magnet, causing heat and eventually fusion.(blown speaker)
