America was a great country when...

...Phone calls were made from home on a rotary phone.
...Doors were left unlocked.
...While in your car or home you didn't hear someone elses car stereo.
...ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS were all the channels we needed.
...People wore clothes that fit.
...People referred to themselves as Americans not "I'm a ______ American".
...Honesty existed and political correctness was keeping a campaign promise.
...There weren't so many lemmings and parasites.
...Reality wasn't a television program.
...People had work ethics.
...you heard sue used in a sentence and it was in reference to a Johnny Cash song.
...Something for nothing wasn't the mantra of the masses.
...Upon accelerating a car or motorcylce the engine roared instead of whined.
...Whining was done in the nursery.
...Dead pedophiles weren't adulated.
...You wouldn't miss out on a job because you ONLY SPOKE ENGLISH.
...Businesses shut down on Sundays and holidays.
...A hand shake was a hand shake, not the mating ritual of baboons.
...You'd really rather have a Buick.
...Yes, even when Charlie Manson roamed freely.

Like Archie and Edith sang, those were the days. I suppose it would be educational to look at the census of those by gone days. What would it tell us, and would we be willing to learn from it? Imagine how much wider the wide open spaces would be with over 100,000,000 fewer people within our borders! Like my parents always said "Where did we go wrong with you?"

Don't even get me going on piercings.

According to www.xsist.org/earth/census the following are some interesting numbers:

1790 U.S. pop 3,929,214
1890 62,947,714
1970 203,211,926
1990 248,709,873
2000 281,421,906

As of 00:53 GMT, 5:53 PDT, the US population is 307,003,506. Add to that the estimated 10 to 20,000,000 illegal immigrants and you can see why life is getting harder here. Fewer job openings, less affordable housing, higher health cost, longer commutes, and more of man kinds encroachment upon nature. It just bothers me to see what my recent ancestors fought and toiled to build be raped and slowly murdered by greedy politicians, PC roop scoops, and naive self deceivers that keep hoping for change while putting faith in professional liars. Do I have all the answers? Of course not, but I have more than a fist full. The problem is that those who are paid to listen to us listen primarily to those listed above, the sheep.

Pardon me for ranting.

you title this post. As you can tell I am slightly biased.

Maybe this will get the ball rolling

Lynette "Squeaky" "Red" Fromme is scheduled for release from prison on the 16th of August. All I can say is "Congratulations, we have a new president now."

SPORADICISMS

It has been a while due to the fact that I'm wearing a ten gallon hat and can't seem to focus on any one subject for a prolonged period. It is a wee bit heavier than a leopard skin pill box hat. However some random visions have popped up in my head, one of which involves two sugar plums, Sharon and Farrah. Yes I obviously have a personal favorite, but compare for yourselves.

Then on this date is the 40th anniversary of the death of Brian Jones. Quite possibly the most under rated and/or under acknowledged musician of all time. Also, it disturbs me that know one really looked into his death. To say he was a world class swimmer might be a bit of an over statement, not quite on par with Stephanie Haebig or Mark Spitz, but he had great skills and endurance none the less. So to accept that he simply drowned in his own pool due to being intoxicated is as hard to swallow as pool water. I myself have gone swimming at dark in the pounding Pacific surf while under the influence of a chemical cocktail several times and fared quite well (altho I must admit that swimming in the ocean in the dark causes you to believe that there is a shark right next to you). Yes people it was murder.

Speaking of the Pacific...Once again CA is in the throes of economic anemia. If they want to find the root of this problem and solve it once and for all, all they need do is look south. The same parasite that has been lowering Americas standard of living for the last forty years started the main infestation in CA. Oh, I forgot. They are a hard working, industrious lot who built their country to what it is today and are now here to help us do the same with ours. As I have always been told, find what your good at and stick with it. And yes, that goes for you whiners as well.
