You can go back and be understood by the Romans. It used to be handy for understanding the Mass but then they dumbed that down too. |

The point is liberals don't carry knives; sharp things trigger their anxieties. |

In my trade I read a lot of programming sites. It's always puzzled me that among all the nationalities you seldom see a French programmer. Maybe they are too snotty to talk to the rest of us and have their own home on the dark web. |

Americans have a lot of land, and therefore a lot of resources. That doesn't mean you have any brains. Who needs brains? We've proved over and over again you can rise to the highest office in the land without the encumbrance of brains. In fact when a supporter gushingly told Adlai Stevenson that all intelligent people would vote for him he allegedly replied "That's not enough, madam, we need a majority." Eisenhower won by over 15 points. |

On the plus side, girls were required in junior high to take two semesters of typing. That was the most useful thing I learned in my entire education. Cindy Hamilton |

I sometimes carry a tiny pen knife that doesn't lock, but it is only 1¼" long and is used to sharpen pencils/cut string etc. No need for any knife longer than that. There are a lot of very fearful and insecure people, all over the world. They compensate by bragging, adorning themselves with tattoos, facial hair, carrying weapons, cosmetic surgery, by driving expensive cars and living in houses which are far too large to be practical, and that is the short list. When I am working around the property, I always wear a pouch in which I carry a utility knife, diagonal cutting pliers, a multiple tip screwdriver, channel lock pliers, flashlight and gloves. When I leave the property, I carry a phone, billfold and sometimes keys. The keys all depend on whether I am walking, taking a vehicle or riding one of the horses. Even though I am in my 90's, I am still 6'7" @ 262 lbs. (200.7 cm @ 119 kg or 18.7 stone) with a 36" waist. It is possible my shear size allows me to be less fearful of other people, but, even if I were 5'7", I doubt I would be so fearful that I would feel the need to carry a weapon in the course of daily life, not even for "religious" reasons..... ;-) Wow! you're in your nineties and still riding horses !! That's impressive. -- Bod |
