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.

Merry Christmas everyone.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.

The True Meaning of Christmas (recited by Linus)

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.

--Book 42, Luke (002:08-14)
The Bible, King James Version

The article on NATO is way too kind. We should have started working to disband NATO in 1992 after it served its purpose. A 10 year or so phase down for the Europeans to assume their own defense would have been fine. The second best time to start would be now - with a much shorter termination. Three decades after the fall of the Soviet Union the Europeans are rich enough to defend themselves. If they don't want to, and it appears to me that a fair number of them don't, that isn't on the US.

The drones over the East coast are looking for a nuke or multiple nukes. We are seeing the government lie to us about the drones in real time on TV. They are our own drones being flown by our government and they are desperate to find something. The only question now is not are they looking for a nuke, it is how many nukes and who do they think has them and where are they taking it/them to. Given that... I don't really blame them for lying to us. This is so F...in serious that the truth if it was just dumped on us would scare the bejesus out of us and cause chaos.

Someone, probably terrorists has one or more nukes and they snuck it into our country and they intend to bring it to the worst possible place and set it off. I think DC! But NYCity is #2 on the list. And I think the nuke is already in place waiting for the right moment.

When you're USD 36 trillion in debt, what's a few billion more for a frozen wasteland?
