One of the most brilliant minds of our century.. but NOBODY will listen to him, just like nobody listened to Russell of the last century.. It's hopeless imo.. When our so-called leadership of either "party" of like one of the common sheeple stumbling and bumbling through their pointless life, imo, just buying sh!t and living their life vicariously through the internet... Pretending they are someone else, better in their brainwashed minds, beautiful, slim, athletic, whatever, even with moticons.. Amazing, Just f'ng in my mind.. While the elite few "leaders, the governance" of all societies manipulate their populace in fear of others.. To promote their own ego and avarice through conflict.. To fill their own coffers.. Just their own coffers..:( That's why we are at least about 2-5K years behind where we ought to be at this time on our evolutionary journey.. Just Because of one's foreign policy approach.. Which is ALWAYS based on FEAR which leads to conflict and war.. The most fearful always leads one into war because they are SO afraid always of something different.. And the COWARDS, the FAKE lions that are always behind the lambs, the truly brave.. It is so different from the common perception.. But it has always been that way..:( And so I can't change it, so I quit trying on the internet, it's not worth my emotional energy to discuss something with someone who has it so easy to argue a losing, logical postion.. It's just too easy to post BS.. On both sides.. So I have basically quit this part of my internet life.. I have been focusing on our investments, whether paper or hard assets..Mostly hard assets and mostly precious metals.. So today, M and I had a nice trip out in the desert where I had identified some gold targets and worked them with a metal detector we had just bot.. A metal D was new to me as I had never had one before. It's not a really sophisticated way to explore for PMs but it's fun and that's all we are looking for now.. And a lot of other people are too.. A wonderful family came driving up and stopped and chatted with us.. They had a double pick up filled with kids in the back seat and three more and a dog in the bed.. They were just driving around and enjoying the Nevada mountains and desert.. They were headed up to the Comstock by the back way that the touristas would never know.. And you know what? They flashed us the peace sign when took off.. Just nice people wanting to live their lives and be left alone.. What's wrong with that?? Nothing.. Except it is my long preamble to WHAT the regular people just want.. I might have more but I have to take off my boots and get ready to barbeque now.. :) c PS: We did find some REALLY interesting showings.. :) Just to make others jealous.. Just kidding.. :)
