PS, i have heard of that 33 AD/CE reset, and altho i believe it is controversial and even contrafactual among the divers & sundry tribes, i think i may say without fear of contradiction that that its shorthand slogan, the “Golden Rule” certainly could hardly harm and hardly help but help anyone. Alas much is often lost as accretions and addendums accumulate barnacle-like; one such current being an attached (& topsy turvy) post script “…but do it FIRST!”

Wade @ 87: i have a sinking feeling that with the Colombia Free Trade bill finally dying on the vine as per order of certain ah, ‘importers’ in the USA desiring no interruption of goods from certain ah, ‘exporters’ at odds with President Uribe (the notorious enemy of narcoterrorism and friend of a political faction in the USA known as “law-abiders”), that Mrs. Pelosi, daughter of Lucky Luciano’s Port of Baltimore capo and Speaker of the House of Repulsive entities, will see to it that your final & penultimate sentence is probably, in terms of meaning, not grammar necessarily, correct, largely.

I hear there was a reset in 33AD oops that should be CE, I guess :0 . I don’t think what went down on Lexington Green qualifies as a reset, but it was a start.

I’ve been mulling over the idea that Mexico may be a place worth fighting for, might ease the pressure on Texas from all that Cali migration, (worse than the dust bowl era I hear). When its all said and done resurrecting some free republic using opportunity as a reason d’etre, might be a welcome occurance. Don’t look for US help, no doubt the chances of turning a failed state into something worthy of admiration and praise are as likely as establighing a democracy in the Middle east, or defeating the cocaine cartels in Columbia. Just can’t be done and can’t be won.

Y’all are sounding pretty disgruntled.

Anybody up for a discussion of sub-national military and paramilitary capabilities? Click on my name above.

Hard times are coming, folks. Harder probably than anybody younger than 145 has ever seen in America.

The Third Clinton Administration reenactment of the first WTC bombing is in the works. That will be followed by an updated, Twenty-first Century Waco 2.0. Most of you who were old enough to be paying attention in 1993 know what I’m talking about.

subotai @ 84: if i were retired and coming in new, and disliked storm and heat and humidity, why, i’d start my search for a roost in Alpine. High altitude cool dry air, a quiet and serious state university, excellent hiway system, near the high Davis Mountains, and a thoroughly beautiful empty big sky chapparal topography. And look at real estate prices, esp in surrounding Brewster County, which is prob Rhode Island sized and has probably under ten thousand people –tho at the same time modern services and infrastructure. Sweet people, too. BTW, please excuse my shooting off my mouth about civil service. I get so worked up over –well, just think, the pubs are advocating a simple drop the bottom two brackets, 10 and 15, to 5 and 10, and put money in the hands of people in the next pay period –since “speed is important” –this new trillion and a quarter will take a long time, two years, to get to that level of infusion, and –well –if the admin wanted to help people, it would do that. But it wants to help the Democratic party first last and always most of all, so it won’t, it won’t let a chance at vig and patronage and and dependent-creation go by, no matter what. So, one gets to ranting and raving, and throwing calumny around carelessly –sorry, and thanks for the subtle rebuke.

Well, I’ve only actually been to Houston and San Antonio. And the heat and humidity got me then. And I have a friend and former co-worker who lives in Houston, and he dodges hurricanes on a fairly regular basis it seems. Still and all, even though I am one of those lowly retired government workers [28 years as a Commissioned Peace Officer of the State of Colorado], freedom is more important than humidity. Ya’ll got room?

Now that I think on it, it may not be our declared enemies like Iran and the Hezbos whose actions will cause us the most near-term concern.

Consider this scenario. If Mexico explodes, which is likely soon, we could have upwards of 50 million illegals flowing across our border, all demanding asylum. And that would make US one.

So the obvious response is Obama’s brownshirts to the rescue, armed up with all the funding and firepower of our military (end Obama quote) in the name of Homeland security. With pensions.

BTW, posse comitatus precludes our military from acting very quickly to protect US here at home. That would be a military coup and unlikely.
