"Because you were looking for somebody to wreck shit while most Americans want someone who won't. That's a much harder quest."

I was lookin' for a very specific kind of wrecker to go to town on a select grade of crap: much harder than pickin' the smoothest talker, most convincing liar, or least offensive parasite.

Yep: a rare kind of blunt instrument.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Seriously henry. What is wrong with your brain? You're a laughable caricature. An easily dismissed idiot. You present as a dyed-in-the-wool nutcase/Commie. So much so that completely ignoring your whackadoodle arguments is an obvious no-brainer.

I'd ask why you hate America, but the answer is, you're just a mental midget with a bent for anarchy. Do you honestly expect anyone to take you seriously?



I hear Stormfront is looking for new recruits.

Well I can see your perspective, but I can't dismiss Henry as just a nut case, simply because there's over a hundred million Americans who agree with him to some degree.
I'm sure he loves his family, not likely to kick puppies, and probably hates his job like most people. Might even be... dare I say it... a nice guy... just misguided.

So, because I favor proxies instead of rulers, and true free enterprise instead of state capitalism/socialism, and because I understand gettin' those things won't happen through 'voting', I'm: "a laughable caricature, An easily dismissed idiot, a dyed-in-the-wool nutcase/Commie, a mental midget with a bent for anarchy."

An interesting, though misinformed (perhaps prejudiced) take, glen.

My suggestion: ignore me (as I will you).

Not really, no.

But, please, dismiss me, bruce (as I've dismissed you, for a very long time).

Dismissing you would be like dismissing a canary in a coal mine, you might give us a heads up when the revolution happens.

I do well on the consume, fair on the sleep, not very well on the conform at all.
As for obey, not across the board. Things like drive on the right side of the road I obey, I've got no problem with shit that makes sense.
Other things like paint the house or mow the lawn, homey don't play dat. I buck city hall more than would be smart, but some things I can't accept and willing to suffer the consequences for being a thorn in their butt.
They'll always win, but not always get what they want.

I have some relatives from Tx that have developed great ways of conforming within the law but making TheMan somehow unhappy with their compliance. It's a life skill.

Sometimes TheMan re-writes the laws just to stick it to them. Very often they have another course adjustment in the wings just waiting for the that next re-write. Always thinking ahead.

They are simple living blue collar millionaires that keep a big budget for legal "expenses". I know that they have TVs but a good portion of their entertainment time is spent thinking through ways to make TheMan look silly and impotent.

Your description of your micro rebellion with city hall makes me smile.

Makes me think we might be distant relatives too.

Do you have any roots in Tx? Uncle Bruce?

Nope, New England Yankees, immigrants from England in 1630 and Scotland around 1910.
Drove across I-40 one time, got a cousin that moved to Spring, worked at a salt water cooled power plant by Houston for a few weeks, and another plant over near the LA border.
Got a friend in Rowlett who shows up at my house every New Years Eve, a good friend I've never met in Weatherford, and I know of a hot babe in Austin.
Oh, and I got athletes foot at an East Texas motel.
That's all for Texas.
