The day we care about the welfare of other animals-the day Machiavelli is no longer relevant-the day ideologues cease to exist-religious institutions seal their doors…which is to say never happen.

It is not fair to calumniate those people as they have more excuse than Europeans and Americans.  Aint been much in the way of ethical evolution..

No, you are spot on Reg.

The power of custom and tradition among us is crazy.

Strega, I was trying to figure it out. Checked on racial covenants in deeds and only saw one article. There was an attorney who purchased a home in Burlington and noticed a racial covenant against blacks. (legally unenforceable) But that is not much of an indictment since racial covenants were prevalent throughout the USA to deny jews and blacks…[Read more]

Just checked and the population of VT is shrinking-2nd least populous state in USA to Wyoming. 94.5 percent white…that is ridiculous! Least religious state but 5th highest percentage of divorced-this is what happens without the LORDaaaaaa in your life! 42,00o sapiens in the capital…holy horse feathers.

Why are there so few non-whites? I aint…[Read more]

Home grown businesses seem to grow well in that soil. Seems like Vermonters have to take the initiative to get by. Not a lot of industry there. Does seem from what i have read there are a lot of drugs though.

I am in CT Strega. Love me some Vermont…go there to climb a mountain or get out of ugly CT for a day. New England is famous for the cold shoulder, the good fences make good neighbors notion. Is it like there in Vermont?  Cuz my limited exposure there is of really friendly and non-pretentious people.

You don’t have to figure anything out. If you are convinced the market will tank you can sell the indices short.  All ya need is instability, bad economic forecasts, Trump plans a coup, significant terrorist attacks particularly if they are coordinated. And since the market has freaked it can easily drop like an elevator. It is a sick world.…[Read more]

Dogs have extremely high incidence of cancer. i suspect most commercial dog food is dog shit. I wish we knew for sure but diet is perhaps a causal factor in their cancer.

I have seen dogs who are kinda finicky and dogs who eat or drink anything. Instead of Christmas how about Woofmas day? Very few don’t love/like dogs, phobias notwithstanding,…[Read more]

Yes it would be interesting to know the breakdown by state. Presumably parts of California, most of MA and CT, Del. etc have vastly different responses. In fact it is as though the USA is two nations.

Now the issue is whether operant conditioning transforms the I don’t really guy into the i really do day trade. If it was always going to occur then the apparent stimulus is a miss.

Hey Reg, it is 2019 and you don’t have to depend on ahem…bookkeepers. Online accounts often have good promos for new customers in which free cash is given to the new acct holder. Many accts also give their customers rebates based on the track’s takeout and type of wager. I have connections to the industry leader in rebates so if you or anyone…[Read more]

Show bets do not count as wins unless you are wagering against a bridge jumper, the chalk runs out, and your piece runs in for sick overlaid show payoff.

Here is a dissenting voice on the feel-good vibes associated with christmas. Fuck christmas and the horse it rode in on. But leave the horse alone. I like animals. Christmas so dominates culture after thanksgiving in USA with its endless jingles and symbols. It is a mass lets-pretend when we humans ought not celebrate pretend or pretentious,…[Read more]

Looky here Unseen, one man’s sick is another’s yeefeckinhaw!

I met only one other who likes it and a few who are neutral. That is an interesting topic…the scents we love and hate.

Cut grass is overrated. Gas is overrated. I don’t mean farts Unseen. The stuff at the pumps. Wood burning in a fireplace or in the woods is fantastic. Yes the…[Read more]

pumpkin gum with essence of skunk flavoring…i might as well fess up here and now…i love love love the smell of skunk…on a halloween walk wafting on the cool crisp air announcing its presence in a respectful way.

It is one of my favorite scents..if there were a skunk candle i would be all over it..but i dont like the smell of skunk cabbage. Do you?

Pumpkin is yuck..but pumpkin seeds i can eat for hours on end…spitting the shells, savoring the salt..yum.
