The Vaqueros of old only changed their underwear every Saturday night whether needed to or not. lol

The only real claim to fame Peter Fonda ever did was the making of the iconic movie "Easy Rider" (1969), that he co-wrote, produced and acted in.

It's essentially the story of two drug-pusher/biker-bums and their cross country exploits. An entire generation heroized those two characters.

The only thing I have to say about Peter Fonda is; he was nothing like his father.

Yep, paradigms change about every 20 to 25 years.

A century from now the modern people will look back at all the people here today as a bunch of Neanderthals.

Did the Vatican ever meet his requests?

I think some of the ultrarich are conscientious and try to be responsible citizens and use their money constructively. But for many of the ultrarich, the use of money for the consumption of goods and services is already well set into place for everything, whatever your hearts desire, permantly for good, and most likely for their progeny for generations to come. Once that's established , they grow weary of consumption and so the accumulation of more wealth becomes an ego thing. It's how they "keep score" with other fellow billionaires/multi-millionaires.

"Biden says something most Americans agree with....."

Agreed. And the more disturbing thing is that he'll recant and then do penance.

What's your opinion of the Charles Hapgood theory of sudden cataclysmic pole shift? Is it psuedoscience? It fascinated Albert Einstein.

And leads one also to wonder about the Flood Myths that are not just in the Bible but in many other cultures from around the world.

I couldn't get on with Google. I went through a bunch of backdoors to get here.

Yeah, I like this guy too. He's very creative and is one of the few candidates with a real sense of vision.

For post #6> repelled down= rappelled down

I'm getting old, can't spell.

I remember some years ago here in Las Cruces a local 18 year college student was out climbing the Organ mountains just east of here with friends. They were climbing one of the sheer granite faces and this kid slipped and tragically plunged to his death. When the first responders showed up they didn't know what to do. The kid's body was in a rugged inaccessible place. The state police couldn't get in nor the border patrol. The authorities were baffled on how to retrieve the remains of this poor kid. It went on for like a week. Finally a local group of retired Green Berets came forward and volunteered to help. They repelled down in there and got the kid out. So cool I thought
Real heroes.

El Paso is coming together. 100's of people lining up to donate blood.

So what's your suspicion?

How did they apprehend this kid? Did he surrender?

Actually we were talking about Las Cruces, NM, 42 miles north of El Paso.

And my wife just told me to go to our local Walmart to get toilet paper and coffee. Man! I don't know. Just when I need Heliumrat's help he's out on liberty. And it's his turn to walk point too!

Today's incident doesn't help, but we'll get past this. I like it here. It used to be just a farming/ranching/college town. Lately in the last 20 years or so it's become a retirement community. Lots of Californians and Midwesterners and rich Mexicans from down south are moving here. We also have 25,000 acres in pecan trees. Southern New Mexico is the nation's biggest pecan producer now. The pecan groves are beautiful.

"I disagree.
I think a society with as many guns as people should expect mass shootings to be a fairly common occurrence.
But I'm willing to let you try to convince me that my expectation is unrealistic."

We're awash with guns, no doubt, but what baffles me is why it's always these insane random mass shootings. What's the crazy neurosis/psychology behind that?

Well hell.

I was just getting ready to drive over there today too. I live north in Las Cruces , about a 30 minute drive away.

I've always took pride and solace in the fact that this was a much safer place than most other parts of the USA. No place is safe anymore.

"So as America dysfunctionly debates healthcare (decade after decade) it's important to know and understand that the by-product of our giant, crappy, wasteful, and harmful, U.S. Healthcare system ... is physician burnout."

You nailed it.

One thing we need to do ,in my opinion, is to make these Med-Schools less elitist and less super expensive. I really think we could train a lot more doctors if wanted to.

Ive read about the cataclysmic pole shift theory too. And Einstein also saying that it may have indeed happened many millennia back.Scary.

Nonetheless, I was also thinking about buying up as much ,cheap worthless Alaska real estate as can. It could turn out to be the "New Florida"😁

I always liked the 50's , pre-Army Elvis. Those were his most dynamic years, I think. This is his performance on the Milton Berle Show on June 5th 1956 that got him in all the trouble and subsequently launched his great career.

It's really quite good.

"What the hell is a RC with peanuts?"

Pouring salted peanuts in a bottle(needs to be a bottle) of Coke, Pepsi or RC cola is an old southern thing. The peanuts float to the top. You drink the coke and eat the peanuts at the same time.

#3 Boaz you're right, should've paid more attention.
