Rod, As I' previously mentioned, I went to a birthday party back in April with 25+ people, no masks, food and drinks, normal sitting, etc.. Some of us simply do not let fear control our lives. The COVID thing is starting to get very boring. Actually, it has been for quite some time. It still amazes me that I see people running around with masks on.

I actually have a friend who contracted it. She's relatively young and it affected her very badly. She was in the hospital for a prolonged period of time and(according to her) her fever shot up to 104°. I was ill around X-mas with prolonged fever. A friend suggested that I may have had it then; I'd been in Thailand(end of Oct., first of Nov.). If the opportunity presents itself, I'll be tested.smile

I got antibiotics for it.  Sorry to go off topic but if it helps one person. Regards, Steve    If anyone has a problem with this off topic post I can get rid of it. Steve
Steve, A friend's daughter in law contracted Lyme. She was in a wheelchair for a long period of time and died relatively recently. It's certainly nothing to take lightly.

Sit for hours in an enclosed space crowded with folks yelling and screaming for their fearless leader? Actually, it shows that most Oklahomans are smarter than they are given credit for.  
Jim did you by any chance listen to that magnificent speech he gave? There was even a bit of humor thrown in.

NASCAR Idiocy

Posted By Darian Rachal
I have no interest in NASCAR, so I generally pay absolutely no attention to anything pertaining to it. I find this article about Wallace and the other driver's initial reaction to this amusing. Wallace is a jackass, IMO. I guess he wants everyone to feel sorry for him.

Rod, I wonder who the excrement that are toppling and defacing statues are going to vote for, if they make the effort to do so?

Replace Biden, Somehow

I won't.

1/10th of a Billion dollars in damage in that city alone, and your response is "Our system is beautifully robust".

Certainly our system is "robust", but that is only wwhen law and order rule the day.

Open lawbreaking is NOT acceptable, even if those like yourself act as if it is no big deal.  

In virtually every big city that had huge leftist protests, the damage and carnage was massive.

You can ignore that fact, and recite your platitudes such as Our system is robust, but you enjoy that pleasure to do so because it didn't occur in your neighborhood. 

If your house, the Wendy's you visit, or your neighborhood Walmart WAS burned to the ground, I would guess that your response would be a bit more animated.

I lived through the '60s and I don't recall the same level of intensity then as I'm seeing today.  If they were, which I'm conceding is possible, the average person then didn't exhibit the lackadaisical attitude that you are exhibiting here, about our latest uprisings. 

Your Pollyanna-ish response is what disturbs me, because you're supposedly a Republican who should be for law and order, not chaos and anarchy, and when you blow it off as you do, I find that to be a big problem.

And there are millions of so-called Republicans like you out there.

I noticed you made a point to respond to my posting, however once again, you failed to make a posting either criticizing or condemning the carnage that the left AND the leadership of the Democrat party is supporting. 

Then again rarely do you ever make postings condemning what the left is doing in our nation and our big cities, let alone on campuses.

I don't recall you ever making a posting about the utter shutdown of Free Speech on College Campuses is being stifled by the left. 

I doubt you ever will.  
Rich, when I read James' post this is what crossed my mind, and I really do not mean my "observation" to be critical of James, just what occurred to me. 

From reading some of James' previous posts, I get the impression that he is extremely well off financially(at least by my standards), is very happily married, has a nice home(and a second home in the mountains), has an expensive car(s?), a good job, and a good family. Of course one never knows, but I suspect his life will, for the most part, be unaffected if Biden is elected, the Democrats gain control of Congress, and more leftists are put on the Supreme Court. I'm just guessing, but I don't get the impression that he sees the media as a problem or necessarily views them negatively.

Of course, I may be absolutely mistaken. But, as I said, it was just what crossed my mind as I read his post.

Jim, In all honesty, I really do not know. It depends I guess on what policies they may enact. I'll be extremely disappointed that the American people would choose Biden, thinking that his presidency is good for the US. I honestly do not think he has the mental acuity for the presidency. He'll be pretty much a figurehead with someone else pulling the strings.

If Biden is President, the Democrats control Congress, and leftists control the courts, there is really no telling what kind of hair-brained ideas they may come up with. I certainly would expect more intrusion into the lives of people by the Federal government, not less. 

Essentially, I would be saddened to see the further erosion of the American culture, although I do not think the situation is hopeless.

Jim, I've dealt with enough adversity in my life that it really takes a lot to "bother" me, regardless of what I see occurring around me.

Sometimes, when what I perceive as incomprehensible stupidity occurs, like changing the name of "Dixie" beer(for "social justice" reasons?), I simply have to shake my head. All of this similar crap occurring now will accomplish nothing good; it's all rooted in lies.

Jim, I may not have addressed your question in what you consider a satisfactory manner with specifics, other than the fact that I'd be observing a further degeneration of America.

1.  "Assuming my financial circumstances do bias my outlook, why do you think that the poor will be worse off under a Biden presidency?  What will Biden do that causes the poor to suffer more than they do under Trump?"

2.  "Hi Darian, No offense taken.  How do you reckon your life will change if Biden is elected and "leftists" are put on the Supreme Court?"

3.  Same question for Rich or anyone else who cares to reply.

Obviously I'm trying to reinforce my original point here.  I don't think that most average Americans will have their lives changed dramatically for better or worse by a Biden election or by any president's election, for that matter.  If you have some concrete thoughts on how your life or other folk's lives will change for the better or worse if Biden is, or is not elected, I'd love to hear about it.

Jim
Jim, the best hope for the poor to rise out of poverty is a Trump victory. They will remain impoverished if they continue to depend on the government for their subsistence. A booming economy is beneficial for those attempting to rise out of poverty. A Biden victory will just mean more of the same for blacks, i.e. high murder, illegitimacy, abortion rates, etc.sad
