| General BS forum I guess this will be for anything that would seem to be off topic in any other forum here. Just general shootin' the breeze kind of topics. |

So What Have We Learned.....
So What Have We Learned in Two Millenia?
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become babkrupt. People must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
Cicero - 55 BC
Evidently we've learn nothing from history!!!!!

Despite the banality of our society, we at least have many freedoms that other countries can only dream of.

Yes, we have those many freedoms today, but they are quickly eroding before our very eyes. The present administration wants to control every aspect of our present lives. Fortunately, you can still buy a gun, but have you tried to get ammo lately? Obama's handprints are all over that one...(see the above post on re-loading). The real heartbreaker for me is that these people were elected by a MAJORITY of our fellow Americans!
Oh well, on a lighter subject: How's the vette Mark?

The answer to that would make someone a very powerful, wealthy individual, if indeed, there is an answer!

Don't forget to soap some windows while you are at it to REALLY show the world how serious you are.
