Bruce, you are exactly correct in your description of CYA as it plays to the operation of business in the US. I know a few of the top dogs in Homeland Security and TSA, and I laughed when that meme was brought up. So true. Two of them would concur with you, but at least one fe...
Screaming to “hang them high” or equivalent is no solution to anything, it never has been and never will be. Your behaviours are such that when clear to others they would have to be mad to think you were offering solutions, just promoting another form of “hate speech”, with...
Let’s face it “Payback” and “Boo-Yah” just don’t get across that feeling of wanting to “punch the air” / “fist up salute” and “do the happy-happy joy-joy dance” whilst screaming “now who’s the XXX” it can give 😉Winter • December 6, 2022 7:39 AM ...

I must admit to this day I still don’t understand the “why of the electoral college” but then I’m not keen on some of the distinctly odd voting systems some people ask for in the UK either (especially when the can easily be shown as a “shoo in” for a parties “old guard”...
“Everyone screaming that the cops overreacted, would be screaming “WHY DIDN’T THEY STOP HER?!?!?!”” No. Again, because the cops were called in AFTER the “threat” was recognized. If it had been a real bomb and she had been intent upon detonating it, she would have done so lo...
