    Fuel Shortage

    Reminds me of that old saw about how the Sahara desert would run out of sand if you put the government in charge of distributing it.

    Universal allowance

    And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins, As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

    LET´S BE FRIENDS FIRST! SEAMOS AMIGOS PRIMERO!

    I enjoy the challenge, personally. It probably isn't a healthy feature of my character.

    Keeping a Christian life while working in a non-christian environment

    I work in a very rough business. Best advice I can give everyone struggling with this is to find community outside of work. Don't let your job be all-consuming.

    LET´S BE FRIENDS FIRST! SEAMOS AMIGOS PRIMERO!

    I was friends with the last two girls I dated before going out. It's possible, but you have to be interesting and keep up the charm offensive.

    I love when rickety plans are cast down by a simple, 7-word question.

    What's the song currently going through your head?

    Learning to play this one on my mandolin. It is so fun to play, I forget it is meant to be a sad song.

    Residential Schools in Canada

    It was another one of those big public-private assimilationist endeavors. America had a bunch of similar programs helmed by churches and charitable organizations but focused more on our immigrant population than the American Indians. Eleanor Roosevelt started her career doing this in New York.

    Residential Schools in Canada

    I wonder what they will put up in their place. I would prefer Gen. Patton or Gen. MacArthur, but I would not be so lucky.

    Pay off college loan debt and buy something that will make me more money.

    How do you feel about Fox News these days?

    I watch Tucker clips and that about does it.

    Democrats don't like Catholic Church saying Biden can't have Communion

    As I said, I have no interest in re-litigating this as a political/news topic. Academic topic? Alcohol-influenced party topic? Sure.

    Democrats don't like Catholic Church saying Biden can't have Communion

    I am entirely opposed to Catholicism and think we would be better off being a more Protestant country. But we are a couple centuries away from re-litigating state Catholicism vs. state Protestantism. The varieties of the historicist/materialist cocktail have been the biggest poison to the West.

    Democrats don't like Catholic Church saying Biden can't have Communion

    Well if you say so, I will just forget years' worth of observation.
