    Marx, Marxism, and The Communist Manifesto

    Oh, it's been a long time. Back in the day, I did study Russian history along with Communism, actually during the cold war. But I just remember considering "Marxism" a theory of economics. Basically along with other theorist, as I remember it, they suggested that labor be the most important...

    Why can't they learn how to tie a tie?

    It's been around 10 years since I had to wear a tie to work, back in the day when dress codes were enforced. I sort of miss those days, I don't mind wearing nice clothes and jackets and ties. Today, people wear just about anything they can get away with. I sit next to a guy that wears two...

    do you buy books?

    I do the same, but I can never finish a book. I used to belong to a monthly book club 30+ years ago and I still have books wrapped in the plastic that I haven't even opened. I haven't bought a paper book in 30 years, I read everything electronically, unless it's a gift. Even my Bible is...

    Why can't they learn how to tie a tie?

    I don't know when I learned to tie a tie or who taught me. But I had to dress for work (tie and jacket) for a 20+ years until business casual was allowed on Fridays. Then it was business casual, slacks and a knit shirt everyday, then jeans were introduced on Fridays. Today, is Friday, and I'm...

    the house launches impeachment hearings

    I'm just wondering why "hearsay" is admissible to charge a crime to the position of the leader of the free world, but not to a drug dealer or even a jaywalker. "Hearsay" is not admissible in our court system without specific exceptions, but the impeachment proceedings began on anticipation of...

    the house launches impeachment hearings

    I’m not sure the timeline is correct in the postings. 400 million dollars were held up a week before the call. It was not humanitarian aid, it was military aid. The WH said they wanted to make sure whose side the new leadership was on and to talk about the corruption of the former regime...

    What was your first job?

    My first real job, I did work several different summer jobs, was at the steel mills. My first day involved a tour of the mills with a bus load of new hires. We would stop at a building and we would all get a tour, the ones that would work for that department would go to the department’s office...

    Any Downton Abbey fans?

    Not sure, I think around 6 or 7. But if I binge watch it, it will be from the start. I heard it wasn't even popular on British TV.

    Any Downton Abbey fans?

    I was a big fan for 3 or 4 seasons, I liked the formality depicted of everyday life. I like that their was some loyalty between employers and the employed. I don't have an air breathing valet, but I have a wooden one that I dress every night, so that in the morning when I'm off to work...

    military funds being used to build wall

    I have been to the border more times than I can count. Most of my family live not more than 3 miles from the border in Texas. I bought a small ranch about 5 miles from the border for my parents. As of the last time I was there, a few years ago, there has never been a wall or fence. What most...

    Where do you shop for technology?

    I buy everything online. Except for perishables. With one exception, if it's an item that will need maintenance or item that will have a complicated installation, I want full vendor support (I want to personally meet the sales associate, and have his office number and even a home phone number...

    Baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

    It matters because those were the instructions given. Yet, there are people who believe not being baptized in the NAME, of Jesus doesn't work either, It's in the "Name" that gives the water power. And then many of those same believe that if a believer dies without being water baptized (i.e...

    Weddings in or out of church

    I guess it's all where you get married. Many countries, Mexico for one, a church wedding (religious) is not legally binding. Only a judge (civil) can marry a couple, my daughter was married in Mexico and it was on the beach. It was beautiful, but it was done by the local magistrate...
