never did learn knots; too dyslexic anyway.
odd that it's never much mattered, being a scout-like human.
the 'triple little kid's knot' has gotten me through some pickles.
or wrapping a line like a guitar string...that works too.

Re: Does the Southern Hemisphere still have Boy Scouts?
My dad didn't encourage us to join. His father forbid it, due to the dehumanizing effect of the uniform. The scouts I knew tended to be very straight laced and authoritarian leaning. Training for the military or law enforcement. We hadn't heard about the pedos back then. I didn't know about the 'no ...

Re: Planet America
Poor people have every reason to fear cops and the rich people they work for. It's not about maintaining law and order as much as maintaining an arbitrary and twisted order that protects property stolen by banks from the newly homeless who are also suddenly criminals. We don't vote for this corrupti...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
MM, you're very jaded in a nice way, like wearing rose colored spectacles. I hate to sound ungrateful, but America has been eroding its freedoms lately and needs to be corrected. We don't have a free press. Truthful reporters can't be allowed to speak if it's counter to the sponsor's agenda. Social ...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
MM, you've already been debunked on this argument. It is bad form to march it out again without new supporting evidence. If by "debunked" you mean "someone disagreed", yeah. yup, not a 'gotcha' thing at all. Glad to have a venting opportunity, MM. And, yes...modernity raised liv...

Re: Weather
in the comments of the first one, they said dozens of workers were in the building when it hit. All survived. (They must have had school desks to duck under.) The one that tried to get me snapped all the power poles as i watched. Water everywhere. (Prez saw some moisture here) The lines were live, i...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
It's a nice ride for a while, once you decide to max-out your credit cards. For that matter, it's a safer bet to be friends with the mob than to be their victim. In ww2, life is better being a Nazi than a Jew. More fun to eat the fruit than to pick it. I'd rather live here as well, though a reckonin...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
The 'rhetoric' that hurts America is yours, if what you're saying is that things are fine. They aren't. They're getting worse, fast. The two parties are indistinguishable; the media censored to the truth; whistle-blowers shuttered away...why do we have the most prisoners? The most drug addicts' and ...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
More and more power goes to unelected and covert actors whom face zero accountability. What voice do we have to counter our military activities? That's the American democracy that concerns me. (and the disgraceful supreme court) 9/11 was used as an excuse to do mass surveillance and allow Citizen's ...
