I believe Tesla's energy technology was suppressed. One of the smarter individuals I have ever worked with, about 2 years ago suggested the notion that gas prices are not actually rising but the dollar is way more heavily inflated then the government is letting on.

I read a blog a while back how the hit song "Let It Go" from Disney's "Frozen", along with "A Whole New World" from Aladdin, I think, are actually songs trying to convince children to lose their virginity


It's easy to make something what it's not. I can make frozen all about homosexuality. Watch:

Elsa is born with ice powers. The troll emphasizes this early on in the movie, that it's not a curse. The whole movie is about Elsa hiding her powers because people will be scared because she is different and they view her as dangerous, but of course, she really isn't, and her powers are actually beautiful. The end

Gas prices aren't that bad when you compare them to the inflation of other products. This isn't a secret and you can easily check it for yourself. Compare this to a gallon of water one of the most abundant resources, to something that takes millions of dollars to produce like oil.

Water rights will be a huge issue in the near future.

There's been rumors that a group or groups have been buying up water rights. Not sure how much of it's fantasy or reality. New water barons

Out of the article you linked:

quote:

Billionaire T. Boone Pickens owned more water rights than any other individuals in America, with rights over enough of the Ogallala Aquifer to drain approximately 200,000 acre-feet (or 65 billion gallons of water) a year. But ordinary citizen Gary Harrington cannot collect rainwater runoff on 170 acres of his private land.

It’s a strange New World Order in which multibillionaires and elitist banks can own aquifers and lakes, but ordinary citizens cannot even collect rainwater and snow runoff in their own backyards and private lands.


Damn

Dude. It has probably been 20 years or more since I've called anyone "Dude". Seems appropriate here. I'm not angry, I'm laughing.

You have a (to me, weird) notion that everything we normal folks do is driven by wanting to be seen as normal by society. Right? I don't want to put words in your mouth. If that is true, what would you prefer?

I've wondered what goes on here after midnight. This reinforces Old Fart Edict #1: Nothing good happens after midnight. Good luck on the iPhone 5, though.

I'll have to take your word for it. I can't normally stay up this late as I have to get up on weekday mornings to battle social pressures.

ETA: So do you really live in Junction City, or not?

That doesn't make any sense. And I don't have a IPhone 5. Your reading/ comprehending is really poor.

Technically yes, just barely within the city limits. I couldn't stand actually living in JC. I used to live in Manhattan but I moved here after a deployment because the commute was too long.

Understood. Repeating myself from the "Why the SEC should drop LSU..." thread, Junction City was the first time I had been propositioned by a prostitute, at age 21. Main drag, passing through town headed to Riley in the middle of the day, and honey baby tells me she wants to get it on. Blew my mind. I'll go to bed with fellow cadet's song "Take me to Junction City" stuck in my head. Maybe I'll come up with the rest of the words in the middle of the night. We normally headed to Manhattan on free weekends, but I can see how that drive would be a bother if done daily.

So you're at Riley. Good on you. Thank you for your service.

I completely believe you. I've heard versions of that story from many people who were stationed here in the past and while they've cleaned it up lately it's still not great. No more hookers but within my first month here there were three shootings. It is what it is. Most posts have their version of JC and I'm lucky enough to live on the most isolated edge of the town.

I haven't read every thread but I think that Jack the Ripper moved on to various locations. I just read an interesting article saying he was a German sailor that committed crimes in other areas as well.

Jack Ruby makes me think there might have been something to the Kennedy conspiracies. Oswald could not be allowed to stand trial,if there was one.

Compare it to a 1960's Silver Quarter.

I did a research paper on it several years ago in which a gallon of gas cost about 5-10% more than the metal value of that quarter and that both follow a similar path from when the quarter bought a gallon of gas outright in the 1960s to 2008 where the metal value could still technically buy a gallon of gas in 2008.

I should also note that the real premise of the paper was a guide on how going back to a metallic based monetary system would be bad in the end and how our current monetary system could change to relieve this massive debt crisis we have.
