Re: I took this photo right at dusk, tell me what you think

You mean like -- Iran?

Ya know, so long as Baby keeps living off Daddy's Savings (coal, oil)
instead of learning what makes energy tick without blowing out the
whole living room, Baby is gonna do /nothing/ when Daddy's Savings
run out but demand his Equal Rats to Somebody Else's Savings.

I'll take Basic Economics for 200, please.

Fuken A, d00d.
The rags' score still stands at 2700 for the one op.
Factoring the time frame, they're at least 1500 times better at
killing us than we are.
No, at killing /us/.
Factor in that they're almost 30 times better at killing
themselves than they are at killing us, and the country will be a
desert -- well, then, an /uninhabited/ desert -- in another eleven weeks.
And we can go back to running the oil rigs ourselves.
(Look it up.)

No, the first step is to get rid of its nail clippers.
Fortunately:

"We, the People, do... ordain and establish, maintain and defend, the
United States and its Constitution against all enemies, foreign and
domestic."

I.e., any who do /not/, are not "the People."

They're /minors/.
The explanation it was necessary to /add/ to the Traditional Words
to bring them into real time (George Washington being Still Dead, and
all), and to remind the Brat that /he/ is NOT what is to be defended
at all costs, but on occasion necessarily defended against.
Because minors do not give orders to the militia under any
circumstances.
The U.S. is a federation of sovereigns commonly called an
"aristocracy." The word literally means "rule by taste," as an
aristocrat is one who, being on his own cognisance, has learned to
survive his own taste.

BTW, who, exactly, "got rid" of the U.S. Constitution?
The living fact is that those who assert to have "got rid of it"
never had one in the first place.
And they /sure/ fuken haven't "got rid of" /mine/.

We repeat, "the sum of zeros is zero."

There was an old Bishop whose bellow
Would rattle the rafters like jello
'Til one tile fell
And we knew by the smell
That prick he was sucking was yellow.

Little Mousy Psycho Tom "The Really Stupid" Bishop squeaked:

You couldn't do at all is the answer.

 

As bits and pieces (here assembled), it's all common knowledge in
parts of the U.S. I wouldn't expect a Brit to be familiar even with
the geography, and somebody (Tommy?) had deliberately misled you with
the "Boulder" reference.
The Hoover Dam remains a nasty political contention in some parts
of politics even today (largely because of its use in the Depression
and later because of water/power-monopoly manipulations), when it
originated as a water/power largesse on the successes of the TVA
(Tennessee Valley Authority) -- itself beset by political contention.

The backlashes of such projects are probably the main reason nobody
will fix up Afghanistan, e.g., most of whose problems would be fixed
by three major dams requiring outside help, after which they could
emplace the smaller ones themselves. But Afghanistan is as
Balkanised as the Tennessee area was, and without any Federal
authority to whom to appeal. If we don't "do" it while we're there,
it won't get done.

Iraq requires similar fixing; over half the country is salt-panning
because much of the Euphrates is 50 feet BMSL. Thus, much of the
once-fertile Crescent now grows only hungry Muslims, who are taught
to plow the sand by pounding their heads on it five times a day.

Interesting. Most people (in the U.S., where the matter is still
voluntary) who /have/ them, do not particulary /want/ them.

I include myself in that group since I was four.
But when I was four, I began to be introduced to paper, radio, and
Movietone News clips of people who had them because they wanted them
or were ordered to use them.
Fortunately, I was also introduced to my Dad's "one shot, one
bird" policy.
I've lived much of my life in the recognition that a "gun" is "a
small hole through which one stuffs large quantities of money."
And that when the bullet goes /that/ way, the gun comes back
/this/ way.
And that it's /always/ a noisyfuker.
And that there's /always/ something /behind/ your target.
But the first thing I ever learned about a gun was that it's /my/
trigger finger bone connected to de head bone.
That's the part little bois don't want to learn.
So they never learn (or pay for) any of the rest.
