Church of the Good Earth 1963 and Beyond

No! Never kill the goose. If they're that dumb, I'll sell it to them.

 

I keep forgetting that you're a youth just beginning your adventure on spaceship Earth. May your education not be too painful. Painful, but not too.

 

So care to explain the bridge thing...and the goose nasty?

 

A long time ago, con men in NYC would sell tourists shares in the Brooklyn bridge. And you don't kill the goose that lays golden eggs. Capice?

 

I read about that a few years ago in history class and its part of a documentary I watched on the history channel. Do tell me though, were these con men ever charged anything?

 

Who knows. That's not the point. The point is don't buy a bridge.

 

what about building a bridge...and then selling it. Ironically the shipping industry in ohio while claiming to be a free state, in order so they slaves couldn't claim freedom, the whole waterfront and the ohio river was given to kentucky, a slave state. All in order to get their shipments, and not have to pay the slave dock hands.

 

Huh? Where did that come from? I know a great deal of history. I benefit from the knowledge cuz it puts the present in perspective. Also, it aids me in not repeating the mistakes of others.

 

It is ok to look back, just don't stare.

 

My brain works weird. Your mentioning reminds me of a bridge in cincinatti, which is on the ohio river. I was on a trip there, and the guide who was a very intelligent man, not revealing all the facts to us, encouraging us to do our own research, told me that little tid bit, so i thought I would share it.

my group was full of liberals so when i mentioned guns and expected to get yelled at by the looks on their faces, he just laughed and said

"I love you boy" and proceeded to tell them how he owns 12 guns

He said he has two brothers, google and bing lol

 

I'm as liberal as it gets and I'm not against guns. Thomas Jefferson, I think, said something about the best defense against tyranny is a well-armed populace. Besides, they're fun to shoot. I don't hunt, but, I never need a tag and you don't have to field dress a target. I know how if I have to and hope I never need the knowledge.

 

BBeing against guns is like being against hammers, or screwdrivers.

 

I used that term wrongly nasty. I should of said, stereotypical liberals or something to that effect. I find much of liberalism now really just being socialism in disguise, and not true liberalism. Socialists even admitted they would try to takeover the liberal party, because they know if they go under socialists they won't be able to win. To be clear nasty, I define you as a real liberal, not one of the ones that is becoming popularized by the media and pop culture.

 

Gonna go play a little poker. Back in a few

 

Thank you for the distinction.

 

no prob

 

though i walk through the valley of death, i fear no evil! hi guys:love:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:grouphug:

 

How did you know what one of my tattoos is gonna say ?? okay to test if your a physic
where is it going to be on my body

 

really ? ha! ha! i don't have an ink tatoo of it anywhere on my body,but it is tatooed in my heart and on my soul.ok let me guess.is it going ta be on your leg ?:mickey:

 

Nope inner forearm. Although I have to ask a recruiter about it, because there is some strange regulation, it can't cover more then 1/4th of the visible body part, which is confusing to me, because i wonder if it means 1/4th of my forearm, or 1/4th of the part of my forearms thats showing when in uniform. of course I could always order a uniform online, and then tell them I want it placed so it doesn't show from where the sleeve ends
