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.

Ancient Shark

Can't you feel 'em circlin' honey?
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
and you're the only bait in town.
You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
and you're the only girl in town.

(Jimmy Buffet's "Fins," of course)

A primeval Frilled Shark has been videotaped.

The West Alone
By Vasko Kohlmayer from today's American Thinker.

"But this brings us face to face with another startling observation: All the other cultures have made almost no significant contribution to the modern world. This fact will also shock many, but its accuracy can be tested by a simple question: Can you think of any facet of modernity that has not originated in the West? In other words, can we point to any major modern achievement - be it in the field of science, government, human rights, medicine, economics, or technology - that has taken place outside our civilization?"

Greater truths have not been told..An astonishingly good read. I don't know why I say astonishingly ..it's just the plain unalloyed truth.

Islam is a terrorist ideology, of that there is no doubt. All one has to do is read the Koran and supporting documentation.
Plus Mohammad wasn't any prophet, just a stoned ass killer who conned and killed people into an ideology that is rancid.
