Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Terrible country, America. You wouldn't like it here.



Photo is a typical American city


Trust me, you folks around the world who want to sneak into the USA. We are an evil, Capitalist, heartless, war-mongering, carbon-spewing, gun-shooting, drug-abusing, poverty-ridden, sex-obsessed, Big Gulp-drinking, obese, poorly-educated, sexist, racist and zenophobic country that nobody would want to be a part of. There are no jobs here, and the place is crawling with Jesus Freaks, drunk cowboys with guns, communists, weird transgender people and weird mass-murderers armed with AK-47s and bombs. Don't believe the marketing hype about freedom and opportunity, because they are disappearing fast.


Just ask any American college professor how bad we are, and how unfair and harsh life is here. They will tell you the truth.  Most Americans, I am sure, would leave if they could only find a way to get away to a better, kinder, and more peace-loving country. You would hate it here. Try China or India instead, or Mexico, Scotland, Russia, Iceland, Costa Rica, Lithuania, Italy, or maybe Australia.

Thoughts On A Sunday
It's been a relatively quiet weekend here at The Manse. The most exciting thing I had to do this weekend was make a trip to the dump. (I'm not complaining. A quiet weekend now and then is a good...

HA! I guessed it even before I click on the picture - scenic Detroit neighborhood.

Heck, you forgot to mention even the dogs are armed and shoot people here.

It's so bad here that not long ago, a guy stole a shotgun, an AR-15 and a truck. The shotgun and AR-15 working together shot and killed the guy. It was one instance when guns did kill a person.

If I hadn't been born here and gotten staked to the ground here, I'd leave in in a New York second. The dogs have guns there? Full-autos here. The cats are on meth and vicious? Can't even describe it. Bears and wolves roam the area freely, and do the stop&frisk routine.

And old people have to eat cat food

QUOTE:
In 1977, the year I was born and the year my father and many other Jews left the Soviet Union (my mother and I left in 1978, my grandmother and great-aunt left in 1976), the Soviet propaganda machine began circulating a rumor. It went, roughly: life in America is so terrible that the old people eat cat food.

This was…perplexing.

People didn’t quite get it: they have food specifically made for cats in America? What a country!

Wow... Motown is starting to make Beirut look like Paris.

Make sure that foreigners remember the Ku Klux Klan.

Never let them forget the KKK!

They are the ones responsible for Detroit.
