"The object of life... insane."

I thought it was to drink beer, eat delicious food, and hang out with pretty girls. Boy have I been doing it wrong.

No, no, lonesome, get that one-or-the-other stuff out of your head. You can do both---if you wish.

An admission of insanity coincides with being a liberal idiot....

Thanks, Ken. I think I do understand how many,many people have been ignored, shut out, abandoned, and made obsolete by the forces that operate the world. I also think it's a failure on the part of both parties though I'm inclined to give more blame to the Democrats. They used to represent the underdog. The Republicans haven't done so since Lincoln. If Trump could make an effort now to heal the Great Divide, he could win some support from his sceptics. The divide we see right here is a microcosm of the bigger world. Perhaps we can ease up on the rancor. There's always plenty to argue about. Yelling never seems to advance understanding.

Actually, My Dad said that "Women whisky and guns, pissed away the rest"

How about: "A good drink and a fine cigar are the second and third best things in life"?

Bill, you don't often discuss 'policy'. Take a look at how you jumped in to this 'conversation', a poke at folks who lean the opposite direction as you without substance.

It has been mentioned that hill, as a first lady, gave a policy speech about black youths being super predators and that they should be brought to heal, yes it's searchable. There is all the inbetween. In early November, the various email leaks were still pouring out about the intolerance, bigotry and lies that was 'policy' for hill and her inner circle.

Your current prez has made a ton of loud mouthed, ill-mannered bully rants intended to support hill and your side of the coin. In early November, he was screaming at a crowd of his supporters that they were obligated to his legacy to vote for hill, remember? There's tons more. Point is, you never acknowledge the other side of the coin.

The romney's, mccain's and the also ran sixteen have been discussed along with the various interpretations of the 'high road'. If the hill campaign only had the 'ists', and you feel the need to continue labeling, why shouldn't Trump use that very same strategy to win a Presidential election?

Heck, take a look at your Aurelius quote, is that for both sides of the coin or is just one side insane? If I could change your mind about a tiny little thing, maybe it could be to take an honest position about the true state of public education beyond your neck of the woods. At times, public schools have done a great job for my wife and I, but it wasn't consistent by a long shot.

Craig, I readily acknowledge that country-wide measures show our public schools doing a poor job, 26th out of thirty countries is the current rank. Our universities that are so easily ridiculed for PC publicity, are still the world's best. What kills public education are failed schools and failed school districts. My point was just that there are also lots of good schools here. The highest correlation with success in school is family income.

Bill, you are a microcosm of how and why the public schools are doing a poor job. But you have repeatedly blamed that on a lack of taxpayer money even though we spend more per pupil than any nation on Earth. Let's kill two birds with one stone and examine your answer to me this morning. You say I somehow misinterpreted your obvious support for Hillary due to a reading comprehension problem. I get your support for Hillary from the sum total of all of your posts in this election cycle. And I get your reliable support for anti-2nd Amendment Liberal Democrats from the sum total of all of your political commentary. I didn't misinterpret anything based upon one simple comment about Trump's sometimes crude language, even though you lacked the courage to state your obvious support for Hillary Clinton, the anti-gun Liberal Left Democrat. Here's an example from a few months ago... where the retired public school English Teacher shows us that he cannot spell the word hypocrite:



Take a gander at your posts for the last six months where you have done nothing but bash Trump in your political commentary. You've made a fair amount of political commentary recently even though you have also lectured us that such commentary has no place here. Does that make you a hypocrit, or a hypocrite? You've used that poor excuse of being only human and getting a fact wrong now and then in the past too. Then you go on to post more lies and bullshit... and also show us that the English Teacher cannot spell the word skeptic either:




You make the absurd and dishonest claim that the Republicans haven't represented the underdog since Lincoln. Perhaps the ex-public school teacher should do a little homework and check where Lyndon Johnson got the majority of votes to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Then check the votes for the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Then you should check to see just who was for, and who was against women getting the right to vote during the passage of the 19th Amendment. You could also look at who passed and signed the OSHA Act to protect the lives of workers. You could also check to see which Party has been most inclined to tax the crap out of the middle class. But you won't.

You aren't about facts Billy. You are all about repeating NEA and DNC propaganda. You have repeatedly proven to me that you can't be bothered with facts, and you typically refuse to acknowledge your lies when you get caught. Did you learn that from Marcus Aurelius... or did you learn that from King Brown?
