I'm a Newbie from the Desert
 

I'm an old hand at political forums and even wrote for two of them until I was thrown out for warning about a impending Theocracy being displayed by the Conservatives.

I started with Etherzone in 1993 and Capitol Hill Blue where I wrote for the home page. This did not work well for me. Back in 1946 I was rounded off the beach in Malibu and put into an all girl's school where my surfing days were over. I loved it. I found Darwin's "Origin of the Species" and never again went to church.

I have 3 grown children and 2 married grandchildren.

My interests are Grand Opera and Shakespeare in all forms. I was married to a college professor of nuclear physics and never once understood a word he said. It gave me time to read.........

I live in the California desert near Palm Springs and get my exercise in the club house pool. I'm still a hermit and work only for civil rights for everyone.

Welcome Sandy - All views welcome. Start slinging some stuff.

Welcome indeed!

Welcome Sandy! If you spend any time perusing the posts, you will find out that it is well nigh impossible to get kicked off here - except for spammers. I will look forward to your comments.

It does seem that we are being inundated by Californians, but, hey, it takes all kinds. :D

Regards,

D-Ray

Welcome aboard Sandy.

Welcome to the funny farm.

Welcome, Sandy! I'm pretty much a hermit too, although I live in the city.

1946, Huh? I guess you are an old hand. You and I will have lots of fun fighting theocracy. That's one of my favorite hobbies.

Hello Lefty.

Okay, so I come off as a leftie? Actually I have been a Republican since Ike. It took the Bush Family to wake me up to the Imperial One World Government that set up a new Republican National Committee agenda.

The most important read in my past must have been Orwell's 1984. It meant one thing to me at the first reading and has grown simply by reading the newspapers. I believe in evolution and have learned from being involved in all phases of political debate that the future seems to reflect a desire for the government to direct our lives from the crib to the grave.

It looks to me as if American humans have given up setting their own social rules and academics for their future children. Big Daddy will fill in and from the moment we turn our lives over to this abstract occult vision of our virtual God who must be obeyed, we end up holding our hands out for something.....money?....healthcare?...education?.. .. and we are lost in how to follow a government that is run from the center of Wall Street leaving us confused.

The government is corrupt! Our Congress is being financed by corporations who now are under the thumb of a corrupt SEC. Corruption is too big to fail.

Unless the voters take control in our city, county, state elections and most certainly our House and Senate, we might has well forget individual rights. We will be nothing more than a data card in the DC data base.

For years, I've been trying to figure out what turned off the American people and made them disinterested in our government plans? What made us declare a war on immigration? Could it be that our new residents are smarter and more interested in our schools than our lazy ass kids born here? Was it television?

I came here to discuss what is tearing down this nation.

If the answer from this forum comes down to a State/Government issued worship of God, then I will simply log off and go elsewhere.

Now you're talkin'!

New voices are always welcome here as far as I'm concerned. Most of the posters here try to remain cordial most of the time. However.... some do not succeed.:o
