Mushrooms probably dig all the free manure.
Oh, OK, cruft.
Yeah, silly me. Fever sort of does odd things to the thinking process. Since I voluntarily signed up to a message forum, I forgot what I did to Eric. I can apply some Privoxy rules for you! Eric's .sig has that odious stuff about your know who, so I can see what sort of things about your posts I can made more suitable for my sensibilities. Now, perhaps that's an inner Boomer thing.Probably not appropriate. You voluntarily entered the forum. Call it "signing up for a mailing list" instead.
Yeah, it's not a post. It's one of many entries in the activity stream. There's scads of them. The spammer has found some way to use the albums function to upload a bunch of spam Javascript pages.Not sure what you referring to. I don't see the posts. I just use the what's new link and add any spam to the ignore list.

There's an annual contest at Bond University, Australia, calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term:
The winning student wrote:
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end."
Oh, really?
What about the Atlantic Charter, agreed to by FDR and Churchill on a ship off Newfoundland four months before Pearl Harbor was attacked?
But maybe if the putative Robin Hoods stopped trying to take from law-abiding citizens and give to criminals, take from men and give to women, take from believers and give to anti-believers, take from citizens and give to "undocumented" immigrants, and take from heterosexuals and give to homosexuals, they might have a lot more success in taking from the rich and giving to everyone else.

WW-II was already underway, and we took sides on a commercial level. Does that imply that we were looking for a fight? Lend-Lease was a bandaid we gave to the Brits, and I'm sure the Germans were pissed about it. But it was the Japanese who actually dragged us into the war.
Remeber, Hitler declared war on us, THEN we reciprocated with a declaration of our own.
Marx: Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.
Lennon: You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
Yeah, Hitler declared war on us - after we found a way to get into the war through the back door by baiting Japan, when Hitler was too smart to give us a casus belli himself.
I know - bringing this up now is rather ironical given the current situation with Chuck Hagel - as it was Hagel's WW2 counterpart in more ways than one, Henry L. Stimson, who warned of what would happen, when the "Semitists" in FDR's Cabinet - Henry Morgenthau, Harry Dexter White, etc. - conceived the Japan-baiting strategy.

Today, in conversation with another friend, she commented that we are "techno dinosaurs." In other words, compared to younger people we a technological laggards.
We were running from a fight that any clear thinking person could see was unavoidable (unless we wanted to kowtow to and perhaps eventually be conquered by monsters like Hitler and Stalin). Something I absolutely cannot stand is the notion we could have or ought to have avoided WW2. NO! We ought to have entered that war far earlier.
