Hey, foldgers! OLOL does not schedule surgeries on Saturdays or Sundays except for emergencies today. They aren't even government-run. So, you don't have to wait 50 years.

 

 

 

You do realize ...

If John Reed had succeeded, we would be wearing our shoes through TSA checkpoints at airports today.

My letter appeared in The Advocate Saturday, 19 January 2013 but did not make it onto the online edition. They skipped a lot of Saturday's material.

Some others wrote "just file a restraining order."  My comment:  "From THE ADVOCATE:  (1) A Baton Rouge man, 26, was indicted Thursday in the June shooting and wounding of his pregnant wife and killing of her unborn child. ... a temporary restraining order was issued June 18 that required Frank Atkins to stay away from his wife.  (2) A man arrested in the Tuesday morning shooting of his estranged girlfriend ... who turned 18 on Saturday and is three months pregnant, had a temporary restraining order against Patrick Guillory Jr. ...  (3) [EBR] sheriff’s deputies arrested a 46-year-old man Saturday accused of trying to kill his girlfriend ... The victim had filed a restraining order against Franklin ..."

Yeah, yeah.  Not really a big deal but I am trying to change settings on AddIt at TheAdvocate.com with little success so far.

Bearing arms has nothing to do with fighting crime. Bearing arms is about protecting ourselves from tyrannical government, which is exactly what we have today. If the government can tell you what you can and can't own, what you can and can't carry on your person, it's no longer the land of the free.

Yeah, the government tells me I can't own slaves, Who are they to tell me what I can and can't own. That issue should just be between me and the slave trader. What ever happened to free enterprise? Darn, can't I at least have minions? I really need some minions. Oh ... the government probably would want me to pay them minimum wage.

 

Revolution - the TV series

Just thinking ... (always dangerous)!

Revolution - the failure of electricity. Someone, somewhere wrote "Government worked before electricity. Why wouldn't work without it?" If electricity did fail and gasoline engines would not work then no transport network and no food distribution from farm to city and from processing plant to city. Millions would starve. Millions in care facilities, diabetics, those waiting on organ transplants would die before a new infrastructure could develop. The practice of medicine would devolve as stocks of medicine and disposable everythings were used up.

On the other hand, diesel engines could work if an alternative to electrically-heated glow plugs could be devised; I was thinking about replacing the plugs with gas-fired elements. Steam engines for railroads could make a comeback but would require time. The US Postal Service ... back in business ... with steam engines and horse & buggy (requisitioned).

However, unless diesel engines would work, lots of folks in the US would starve as our population is too large to be supported by a "man behind a plow on 140 acres of land" agricultural system. The Amish and the like would be retraining a large part of the surviving population as it moved back to the farm as tenants/sharecroppers. Cities would definitely downsize.
 

I don't know if any of this is part of the TV series as I have not watched.
