Bear with me . . .


The audacity to question another's life-long work for humanity ...

The sub-thread starts here and this is it in it's entirety . . .

Uh huh . . .

And while Mister Bluster's plan slowly comes to realization over the next two generations (think stop smoking), in the meantime we'll just let those that are in bad health simply die their ugly deaths from lack of affordable access to care. . .

I know old ducks aren't too good at new tricks, but unless democrats take a longer view on this issue, it is doomed to failure. Like just about everything else they have done since LBJ left the White House.

It's so Ironic ...

Mister Bluster mentioned LBJ. I wonder how many non-violent marches and decades long work Mister Bluster was part of so as to help bring to our country the current individual now residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? I've never stopped being active. It's a way of life and a life long crusade.

Him? I bet . . . none zip nada . . .

Same with the Peace Corps. I wonder if Bluster ever heard of the African Food Systems Initiative? I spent two years on that project. I bet hard cash that Bluster hasn't ever even heard of a federal volunteer agency called ACTION that Nixon started. But almost anyone you ask can pretty much tell you what the Peace Corps is. I still volunteer through Habitat for Humanity International. Oh and I was quite active domestically with the Crisis Corps during the Katrina and Rita hurricane disasters.

And I just so happened to have been active the past 40 years with the Special Olympics since my days of international competition in track field with the Council of International Sports Military (CISM) while serving in the Navy in the late 60s.

Does anyone think that Mister Bluster would ever see past his own little self-serving nose to actually put his money where his mouth is? I have serious doubts unless it's some local Chamber of Commerce or some such nonsense, or how to make buck off it.

Yup! Tell an ol' duck what it takes.

Failure? Kiss my tailfeathers... boy.

The quiet sound of wind rustling through the forest.


When faced with a person's entire life's endeavors what the hell can be a retort?


Oh listen ... I do hear crickets.

chirp... chirp... chirp...
