Thank you for the book recommendation as well as "the
Negative version of the golden rule , 1 st time hearing it. Much appreciated.

I should have walked over to my bookshelf or googled the spelling but as usual in my old age I figured that I could remember the spelling of her name after several decades. Time for some retraining of myself.

Interesting.
I, myself, was just found under a head of cabbage...Just your average run of the mill, cabbage patch kid...way, way before there was such a thing.
Oh...and I had Koodies Too! or so my sister said.

No, I was processed from a meal an ancient mosquito had before it got stuck in amber.
Surely you saw the first movie in which that "science" was explained in a cartoon on a sideways theme park indoor ride fit for the whole family.

So your ancestors were in the "Park" before the SHTF?

I've gotten into a few scraps in the Gulch.
Stegosaur hunters don't get ground down.

To be super picky, Allosaurus went extinct at the end of the Jurrasic and the dino killer asteroid or comet hit at the end of the Cretaceous Period that followed.
It's speculated that pygmy allosaurs roamed Antarctica during the Cretaceous Period, perhaps after it separated from Australia, but that theory is based on one single fossilized bone being found.

Yea...and this time, DUCK! if you see a meteorite coming...laughing

Really Easy Monday-Fridays?

olduglycarl...old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill any day....there is still hope...

That still leaves the fact that You may Like what you would do to me...forgetting that I DO NOT LIKE THAT!...in today's perverted society.

Except both want to rule all. One wants his empire back...and the other...who knows, the possibilities change daily.

Goooood question...only the o knows.

For those who would like a golden rule, the negative version of it, 'don't do to others what you do not like', is much less intrusive and more in the line of the non initiation of force principle. It does not ask to 'do to others'. It is more of a governing rule since government is a negative feedback on a society to keep everyone from having to spend too much time and effort in protecting there lives and property (questionable without some social guide as to ownership other than a weapon).
It's time for everyone to read 'The God of the Machine' by Isabel Patterson (circa 1943 and one of the supporters of capitalism during the red decades and a friend of Rand's and somewhat of her mentor on politics at the time) and though a conservative, gives a very good discussion of the necessity of government from a mechanical-physical aspect with only a minimal reference to Christianity as the basis for a condition necessary for the formation of the USA.

It's the low information voters, the socialists, the sensitive snowflakes, and the liberal media who want her in. We need to push back against them, but we aren't, which isn't much of a surprise because we never do.

allosaur.. Don't let the bastards grind you down...seek adversity it is the source of all our learning.

You remind me of the reason why I chose the moniker for an extinct North American dinosaur, and why I also picked allosaur which is short for Allosaurus, Latin for "different lizard."
And my "different" is different for being one of the first big carnosaurs found that walked on its hind legs.
Libs considered my hero Ronald Reagan a dinosaur for being a conservative seemingly stuck in antiquity.

allosaur..Our 2016 election is getting so weird that anything is possible. Is it possible that Pres. Putin wants to serve in Pres. Trumps' cabinet or as an advisor?? You never know...he has treated Trump far more respectfully than the Democrats and even the Republicans have. They are both direct, media savvy, determined and stand up kind of leaders...like America used to have, before we were forced to be pansies and sissies by the politically correct dogma brutes.
