Danniken - that's a good Native American name if I ever heard one. Daniken is a Swiss name. It's curious that the Swiss have managed to combine Italian, French and German and have such a high standard of living, despite the mixing of cultures and languages. What are they doing wrong? Besides the Ricola commercials, I mean. R |

Jon Well, up north here my jerking knee kinda sympathizes with your POV, but not enough to get my BP spiked over it. But in some parts of USA (all the way from western LA through middle CA, and parts of FL too for that matter), I'll point out that Spanish was there before English was. Not to mention ancestors of many families still living there. They never moved, the border did. And although mass media never made much note of it, their culture has been continuously practiced there far longer than the area was part of USA, even as a territory. So who is pushing out who? Cultural and genetic borders seldom line up with the lines drawn on a map. Most of the areas mentioned above that were settled in pre-Anglo days revel in the their Mexican/Spanish heritage. Northerners are not that different- even 230 years later, it is clear mainstream US culture is a product mainly of English heritage. Most of our language, most of our laws, the way our military is set up (right down to the 'noble class' officers vs. the 'commoner' enlisted ranks), the way our universities work, and so on and so on. And since we outlawed Official royalty when we kicked King George out, we created our own surrogates. (You could go back 100-some years and switch the Windsors and Kennedys, and both would have felt right at home.) I'm the son of immigrants from far northern Europe, and although they kept speaking the mother tongue and pining for home, they didn't make us (8 kids) speak it, or participate in cultural events related to our heritage. They wanted us to assimilate, and not be 2nd or 3rd generation refugees. Of course, they never thought USSR would collapse, and their home country would regain any semblance of a free government. Boy were they surprised. My mother moved back and reclaimed the old family properties. I went to visit once, and kind of regret how cut off I am from all that. But even as a kid, I never could learn languages worth a damn, so I won't frustrate myself by trying. -- aem sends... |

values. We used to adapt, and work together. Now we're told to keep separate societies. Little Cuba, and so on. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

That would be angry white men trying to keep the minorities in
control? Or, generations before that, the plantation owners trying to control the slaves? Sadly, the discipline pendulum swung the other way. Dr. Spock told us to never hit the darlings, and for Mom to go to work. Schools tell us to give the kids Ritalin, and Prozac, sex ed and condoms. The welfare department pays more, if Dad isn't living with Mom. Now, we have a generation of despairing kids who take guns to school and shoot up the place. I don't think the new way is any better. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "RicodJour" wrote in message ...

I'm trying to remember if the time period was pre 1940 and the guys were playing ukuleles and the cars had a coon tail on the antenna. I seem to remember straw hats and school team letter jackets too. I remember watching the cartoons and movies on our B$W TV back in the 1950's. 8-) TDD |

There's a bit of a difference between paranoia and common sense. That's why those with common sense not only avoid dodgy links, but also have anti-malware programs installed. Of these, there are many free ones that do an excellent job (Avast, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials) and commercial ones for not much money. Two commercial products, however, while they do a good job, demote your computer to a slow-moving brick (McAffee and Norton). |

Lowes Black Friday
Chinese couple, taking the baby home from the hospital. Problem is,
the baby the nurse brings in is caucasion. Chinese father observes, sagely: "Two wongs do not make a white." -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

Perhaps you can use your fantastic vocabulary to tell us what you see, and just what your point is. Paranoid much? In less time than it would have taken to type that huffy response you could have clicked on the link and seen a Lowe's ad. Or perhaps gotten a virus. A woman friend got an email the other day from DHL, advising her of a shipment that was to be delivered. Clicked the link and got nailed. There's a bit of a difference between paranoia and common sense. That's why those with common sense not only avoid dodgy links, but also have anti-malware programs installed. Of these, there are many free ones that do an excellent job (Avast, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials) and commercial ones for not much money. Two commercial products, however, while they do a good job, demote your computer to a slow-moving brick (McAffee and Norton). Use Firefox and NoScript. Anyone visiting an unfamiliar link with Javascript enabled is taking a big gamble. Driver sites, ringtone sites, lyric sites, etc. are famous for drive-by downloads using Javascript. I always put the URL of a recommended site into Google first to see if it comes back with "This site may harm your computer." -- Bobby G. |

Lowes Black Friday (now: Cordless drill on a cord)
I've planned, for years, to put a lighter plug on a 12 volt drill.
Never quite got around to it. Please let us know how it works. If the plug and socket provide enough amperage to be useful. I figure on some jobs I can run a drill off a battery jumper pack. Not totally cordless, but would be OK for some remote applications. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Tony Miklos" wrote in message ...

Maybe I'll put a cord and a cigarette lighter plug on the 15+ year old 12 volt Milwaukee and keep it in the van. |
