I've been noting the parallels with the rise of Hitler for a few years now.

Pilot Zone / Re: “Progress in flying machines” by Octave Chanute, 1894
« on: January 14, 2022, 08:09:13 AM »Then there was the firing bombing of Japanese cities that nobody talks about which was much worse than the two nukes.
Indeed, Operation Meetinghouse was a gruesome thing, the single most destructive bombing raid in human history.

Loved alternative music clubs, loved alternative music girls even more!

« on: January 06, 2022, 08:25:20 AM »Neat story. Good job. What kind of plane?
M20J, so it has the lawn mower cord emergency gear extend. Just keep trying to start the mower until the gear is down. Kind of hinky to me.

I think they all play us. Get us frothed up about the DEM vs REP thing while they're both boning us up the ass.

So many more…yeah I’m old.
I'll take ten of those as well, and yes, we're all old. My wife always criticizes me for continuing to listen to 70's, 80's, and early 90's music, but what can I do, it's what I like.
Lets add some:
Steely Dan
Average White Band (and Tower of Power and some other good funk)
Bill Withers
The Smiths, The Cure, and others from that era
Fleetwood Mac
Micheal McDonald (with and without the Doobies)
And then add earlyt Doobies
Widespread Panic, the only jam band I follow regularly
Early U2 (up to and including Joshua Tree)
America, Seals and Crofts, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and other of that ilk

Spin Zone / Re: Covidiocy Continued
« on: December 28, 2021, 08:21:28 AM »We are now beyond the bizarre and into the SURREAL with this Covid crap. Mass hysteria is too nice of a characterization. This is mass idiocy. All over a freaking Cold.
The pendulum always swings back the other way, the further it swings left, the harder it's going to the right when it does. I predict that all these "woke" folks are going to be in a world of hurt when it does.

Spin Zone / Re: Vermont: Highest Vaccination Rate in Country
« on: December 28, 2021, 06:43:55 AM »
I have a cow-orker who has bought a whole bunch of home covid tests. Anytime she has a sniffle, she tests herself. Me, I've had a few colds during all of this and never once thought to go get a test. She asks, "Don't you want to know if you have Covid?" and my reply is "I really don't give a shit."

« on: December 17, 2021, 08:53:35 AM »Democrats are stupid.
Let's face it.
It's true.
Not true, I know plenty of Dems who are plenty smart. Gullible and easily manipulated, but smart.

« on: December 08, 2021, 08:03:58 AM »Go God!!!
Although I'm very religious, attend and participate in services regularly, I've never really gotten the pope thing. It gets a little too close to the whole worshiping false idols/gods to me...

Shopping at walmart - safe! Shopping at any small business - Un-Safe! Obviously liberal idiots believe the virus can't get you if you shop at walmart, but if you shop at your local hardware store, it will kill you. Yep that takes a special kind of stupid.
Follow the money, small businesses have no real lobby, OTOH, the monsters (Walmart, Amazon, Apple, etc) have influence.
EDIT: Also, destroying small business creates more reliance on the monsters, making centralized control an easier thing to achieve.

« on: December 08, 2021, 07:46:33 AM »Wonder why Nancy bought a home in Florida? Look for more of the DC elites to relocate to safer Free states.
The problem is, these blue staters leave their bunghole states to escape the high taxes and other blue BS, yet vote democratic and turn their new haven into another bunghole. Look at what Californians did to Colorado, and to some extent what New Yorkers have done to some areas of the south, etc.
