Hey, there's an Independence, Kansas too. But would one really expect anything original to come from that doofus?

A bit of Irony, Independence, MO is the hometown of Harry Truman. He'd give Beck a load of Hell.

Independence, Oregon too. (Isn't that where Beck is from? Washington maybe?)

John

Washington.

And there's this little gem.

"On May 15, 1979, while out on a small boat with a male companion, Beck's mother drowned just west of Tacoma, Washington, in the Puget Sound. The man who had taken her out in the boat also drowned. A Tacoma police report stated that Mary Beck "appeared to be a classic drowning victim", but a Coast Guard investigator speculated that she could have intentionally jumped overboard. Beck has described his mother's death as a suicide in interviews during television and radio broadcasts."

With apologies to Tom Lehrer....

There once lived a man named Oedipus Rex.
You may have heard about his odd complex.
His name appears in Freud's index
'cause he loved his mother.

Agreed but I have faith that you'll come around to our way of thinking, eventually, Pete.

Being a 'German' American (the majority of my bloodline) I have plenty of issues with these latest incarnation of fascists. White supremacists are about the most ignorant punks on the planet. Geez, it isn't enough for whitey to own and control most everything in this country? When these mental midgits start up with the victim card, I feel like lacing up my size 11 steeltoed Redwings and giving them something to really piss, moan and cry about.
(Now, I'm sounding like my old man.)
He was a tough old bird & a Methodist minister. He would feed you a bar of soap for saying cusswords but if you were to say the 'N' word or any other racial slur? Man, you would be picking your teeth up off the floor. That must be where I get my intolerance for intolerance and ignorant racist punks.

My old man didn't have much use for organized religion, but he didn't drink, smoke and he didn't care for cussin'. Like your Dad the worst was any sort of racial or ethnic slur. He heard my brother use the "N" word once and threw him out the house.

Yeah my dad didn't cuss and rarely mentioned ethnicity at all. Heck we weren't allowed to use the word 'stupid'. One of his good friends was a black guy.

Strange how it takes many years to realize how smart your parents were, and what good people they were....speaking for myself of course

[Oerets]

Growing up with Navy parents and spending my formative years in Military housing. There learning at an early age to see people as just another person looking beyond the exterior facade. More then soap would of been used in the Chief's house if an unkind word were used to describe another.

I guess we did not cuss because our parents did not, teach by example I imagine. Biggest thing my parents ever did was to love me, that I never doubted.
