<<< But then, I am not a Zeropean, nor a Eurocrat, nor anybody else with a smidgeon of nuance in my makeup. American since before there was an America, baby, I shoot first and ask questions afterwards. >>>

It is exactly this "take no prisoners" and "holier than thou" attitude that the rest of the world despises the American foreign policy.

Hello Mary, I will take your post (on behalf of CB) in the (humorous) spirit it was meant (and can only be). CB put me on Ignore, and I am feeling Ignored.

Here it goes: <<Something dreadful must have happened over the gorges at Cayuga Falls>>

… Ithaca was wonderful. Waterfalls, the lakes, green meadows, Bully Hill wines, Antler steamers on Thursday nights, Slavaki Pizza on Eddie Street, ZBT house next to water and the Pan Cake House next to more water.

I could have gone to a few other schools up and down the East Coast, even with my C- high school grade point average (Fs and Ds before grade 11, except German, which was A+ throughout due to Ursula’s all-inspiring and translucent shirts, and A+ Advanced Placement everything by 12th grade). I would not have it any other way other than the Big Red.

I am about to break into the Big Red song.

<<Was life so difficult in Ithaca that now you hate us? >>

… identifying the US with Greensputin and BurnAndKaput is a mistake I do not make.

In fact, I do not identify any country with any personality, for personalities are simply everywhere.

All, except a few, will in time grow to strongly dislike the Greensputin/BurnAndKaput pair who ran a fraud not unlike the one described in Fiat Money Inflation in France Message 20042242 written by a fine American, Andrew Dickson White.

Did I forget to mention that CB correctly identified the French episode as a fraud that could only have ended the tearful way Message 20042246 ? Well, perhaps not lately, as in the past 3 posts :0).

CB, in time, will likely be ranting about the pair (and she can use her above post as proof of her prescience :0), and when that time is upon us, it will be time to buy Nasdaq shares again.

I am, in many ways, thankful for Greensputin and BurnAndKaput. They are making it all possible, the looting, when the looting was good and when again be good.

<<including what might seem like to CB (her family predates the US Constitution - most likely DAR heritage) riff raff, low life like yourself <GGGGG>. >> :0)

… well, I can trace my Froggy side back to 1621, which predates the US Constitution by a number of months and weeks, and so that must give me some prerogative and expertise to talk about that august document which has been twisted out of shape by the riff raff lawyers in a lot of ways (a debate on the Constitution question would actually be futile, and so I will not elaborate) given that the US is effectively, as in mathematically, more communist than the majority of once so-called communist countries.

Then again I suppose everyone alive today had some antecedents else we would not be here. It is just that we tend not to form associations such as 'Irish Potato Famine Survivors League', or 'Carthaginian Revitalization Society'.

In any case, there might not be any daughters of any revolution, perhaps, had not this adventurer achamchen.com played to save the precious daughters revolution from the evil English bullies. Of course, the stud-ly dude also trespassed through Egypt and Syria, changing regimes (but not so much building nations), introducing to the natives the one-man-one-vote system, and his employer was the man with the one vote.

I suppose, had the doubtlessly patriotic dude done his job thoroughly, the world would be enjoying another Carthaginian Peace over a different piece of sand, and oil would be at Franc 2.00 per barrel, and we would be posting in a different language. But then, had he been like a CB, getting his kids to learn Arabic, he might not have had an opportunity to decamp the motherland of liberty with his two marine infantry bothers in the nick of head-rolling party time for tropical Martinique, before the heads started to roll like coconuts in so many directions. To think, we would then not be having this conversation ;0)

Oops, events could have worked out in such a way that CB would not find it necessary to Ignore me. Stop that thought.

Here is a lost relation who did his job thoroughly achamchen.com . Very patriotic, but, alas, I have that many fewer cousins that CB does not have to ignore.

<<You had the privilege of an Ivy League education ... >>

… as in the case of Newmont Mining Put/Call premiums, I think of it as a birthright of all wretched C- students everywhere.

<<Do you know what some mothers would do to get their offspring an ivy league education?>>

… No, but I do know what the daughters of the revolution do once they get into the league of ivy :0)

And, I suppose, one day I suppose I will know what some fathers will do to get their precious little Rachel, Tricia, Reia, Erita, … to enter such fine institution, to complete a four-years sentence coupled with a two hundred grand fine.

<<Ive heard cases where even money could not buy indolent offspring into the halls of Ivy>>

… thank goodness, else everybody with a house to refi can manage it, thus making neo-feudalism that much more difficult to bring about ;0)

Greensputin and BurnAndKaput may likely succeed in bringing on neo-feudalism, and when coupled with neo-conservatism, belief fundamentalisms, and love for the fatherlands, motherlands and homelands, why the world will be so bright we will all need sun-block factor #44.

<<My advise to you, young man, is not to mess with CB>>

… I donno know, it was great fun. And if only she will take me off Ignore, the fun can again be.

I don’t know, perhaps CB is not a democrat, with the capital or the little ‘D’, and she living in a democratic cyber society could then be stressful. If so, and I am not saying it is, the stress will likely inexorably increase with Greensputin/BurnAndKaput success at hero-ship, and pretty soon she will have to Ignore everybody. What a thought :0)

I tried putting myself on Ignore once here on BBR, and it was a strange experience, because I could not see my own postings.

On this, Message 20058252 I can only respond with genuine LOL and hearty :0)

<<Bless her little ole heart, she's AMURRICAN as can be>> as the America around her changes.

<<Be forever grateful. The reason you can make a living giving advice to people around the world is because you endured CU, or CU endured you>> … I am, and I always will be, just as I am thankful for Newmont Put/Call premiums.

Chugs, Jay
