Ooohhhhh..  "where you live".    Yeah, OK, I don't mind.  I can't really move anyhow 'cause it costs too much.
Like I sed, if I could have a redo, I'd be in Leadville now.

Quote:There's much reason to cry. It's a crying shame. Hillary would have been a good president. What we have elected is the worst. What we have elected is a creep who wants to destroy wildlife and wildlands as evidently his first priority, to drill baby drill in the Arctic Ocean, and to cook the planet. That's priority #1 for him, apparently; judging by his horrible actions so far. Yes, much to cry and wail about. Hillary would have been miles; lightyears better. You bet people cry. It's a fucking crying shame. And the only answer now is to fight.

Have fun fighting.  The DNC shouldn't have cheated on Bernie you know.  Yes, I'm aware of the current big
red bait thingie going on.  I paid attention what was leaked, no how it got leaked.  Sorry.

Quote:It is important to care about such things as genocides by Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot,, the Hutus in Rwanda, and now Assad in Syria. You bet it's important to care.

It's not important to me.  Bill Clinton did the right thing, btw and took a pass on Rwanda. Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Rags has no problem ascribing kudos to whoever, regardless of who it is. Pol Pot would be another .  The decision to extend the Vietnam war into Cambodia made that happen.  See how wars of choice just make things worse.
Syria?   A lot of that was spillover from the bad choice to overthrow Saddam.

Quote:I don't know what you mean by a war of choice. There was no war by the USA, and the USA did virtually nothing. You had your way. The result is a flood of refugees fueling fascism in Europe. Everything in the world affects us. Being irritated at people saying we are one world, is to be out of touch with the reality of today.

Wars of choice = intervening in a country that does not pose a threat to US citizens in the USA. Btw, the refugee crisis in Europe is to a large degree do to the US decision to off Qaddafi. All wars of choice bring nothing but sorrow.  Here's a book just for you.

Quote:You don't watch the MSM, so you don't know a thing about it. They are adapting to Trump more than opposing him; much less crying. The only bright spot is the late night comedians. Besides, in this case, handwringing is virtuous, but especially if after we dry our tears, we start fighting the Trumpster dumpster.

I got a pretty big sample on this forum, Eric.  

Quote:PBS is just a bit better than the rest of the MSM. We can't do without them, I think, but must carry that bag of salt while you watch.

Close.  Try salted popcorn.

Quote:You personalize issues, after saying them like they apply to everybody. It doesn't matter whether you can watch MSM. Now that is what I don't care about It's your business what you want to, or can, watch. Myself, I refuse to pay for any of it. I'm lucky I don't have to, where I live.

I think that's because of the regional problems with the pronoun, "you". I know you aren't from around here so I don't know who is being addressed when the pronoun, "you" is being used.  Here as a refresher,
if I use "you" in a reply, it's addressed to the poster. If I use "y'all", that's to everyone.

Quote:Hillary was about the best that we were going to get from America today. That's the difference between me and some folks. This is America. I've been around a while, and disappointed before. There are never any really good choices for America, as far as leaders go. No, we have to suck it up and support the better of the two evils. Because--- this is Amerika. Americans are incapable in these times of choosing good leaders. That's just something to take for granted. They just proved it again, as if it needed proving again. But after 2004, that's just what I have concluded, based on solid evidence. Americans just don't know how to do it; period.

I didn't think so.  I voted blank for POTUS, and then a straight D on down from there.
