would everyone just prefer I simply plonk zed and/or simply ignore him?

#101 | Posted by eberly

Is this a "if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it" sort of thing?

I prefer the term "behavioral sink".

When there is a willful retreat from the norms and benefits oc civilization, that's what you get.

Anyone remember when religous conservatism stifled the Islamic renaissance?

Youngsters.

"it's the same folks who still can't identify him as such"

And.....Why can't they?

EBERLY, on the trembling verge of epiphany.

you live in a --------

#90 | Posted by eberly

It's a political -------- and, by extension, a moral one.

Ever wonder why it's taken so long for Trump to be correctly identified as being crazy? And why so many people still think that he isn't?

sounds awfully like a -------- to all of us, zed .

Where was Kansas bleeding from again?

zed's an influential person.

#89 | Posted by eberly

I'm ZED! I'm special!

nor anybody carrying a firearm either.

#80 | Posted by eberly

I see people carrying guns into businesses past large signs stating that you can't carry guns here.

Explanation?

owning guns is equivalent to a moral ghetto?

#83 | Posted by eberly

Why do people open-carry, EB?

nor anybody carrying a firearm either.

#80 | Posted by eberly

I see it all of the time.

never seen a bucket on anybody's head

#80 | Posted by eberly

Metaphors and Kansans don't mix.

It's not like anybody believes the democratic party would entertain any such notion.

Re-claiming ill-gotten goods?

Are you sure?

wealthy folks with a huge arsenal of firearms. extremely right wing.

#75 | Posted by eberly a

What do your rich white friends want with huge arsenals?

Can I have both? moral ghetto AND upper class/wealthy?

#70 | Posted by eberly

Of course.

By the way: It's not necessary to define "rich". We just have to agree on what's stolen. Rich people will be involved.

Will the man who thinks that he owns the Moon and wants to rename New Mexico into New America use armed force to affect the midterms.

Of course he will.

back to the comedy.

Then smile, EBERLY. Stop trying to beat me into the ground. I won't go.

You're not special, Zed.

#51 | Posted by eberly

My ex-wife says so.

I call that a ghetto.

#48 | Posted by eberly

It's an upper-class neighborhood where many people have chosen to be both mean and crazy.

It's the land of QANON. No joke.

The people in this town want to be left alone to be what they are, but find it impossible to share the favor.

They want to keep buckets on their heads. While armed.

Zed believes his neighbors want to harm/kill him.

#48 | Posted by eberly

Some do.

I have the same mentality as my Depression Era forebearers: Always have more than one financial thing going on at a time.

This habit is predicated upon the same life forces that impact you: Life is unpredictable and nothing is promised.

Especially when the Nazis are about.

You post according to your mood and your mood....Swings.

then he (ZED) ----- his pants

#27 | Posted by eberly

Is that what this stuff is?

So far what we can get out of him (Zed) is anybody who has done better than him is a Nazi.

#35 | Posted by eberly

Then I guess you're just a Nazi.

I understand that it has compensations.

"There you go....make a Nazi reference"

There are a lot of Nazis out there. Today you woke up defending them.

hope you find a better neighborhood more suitable to your liking.

#11 | Posted by eberly

More like a better region.

Kansas is not on the list.

Anybody who does better than you.....

#9 | Posted by eberly

Actually, and at the moment, very few people do better than I do.

I did not have to con a single person out of their money to do it. I never cheated on a single tax.

Definitely not a way to become one of the Elite.
