re: To Kill A Mockingbird……

When I was a boy, I noticed that my dad had a drawer in his desk at home that always seemed to have several wristwatches the numbers of which fluctuated over time. We also periodically got deliveries of fresh corn, beans, tomatoes, mangos and melons from different men (black and white). My dad was a lawyer and he accepted these items in lieu of fees that his clients could not pay. He invariably and without exception returned the wristwatches to his clients after a few weeks or months and only accepted them in the first place to make the other man feel like he wasn’t a charity case. We ate the food and always thanked them for it. In the 10th grade, I read To Kill a Mockingbird and saw the film. That’s when I realized my dad was Atticus Finch and when I decided to be a lawyer.

It pulls more viewers per game than the NHL


I do not believe that is true. NHL salaries are near those of MLB. Way more by far than WNBA. Those hockey players would not be making $$$$K/yr without television viewership.

You are not a leader. You are a representative of your constituents and you work for the people.

No. You’re not. I saw the ad when it first ran in 1964 and even as a teenager, realized it for the bullshite that it was. I scrolled through the responses to the OP to see if anyone caught the “reference”. You did. Thanks. However I was in post mode so I wrote this anyway.

Someone needs to remind the English that “1984” was a scathing critique of this type of society, not an instruction manual.

Americans today could never handle being responsible for Dresden or Tokyo.


American politicians couldn’t handle blowing up ports, infrastructure, dikes, roads and bridges in North Vietnam in the late 1960’s which would have ended the war in a hurry and would have saved thousands of American lives.

If the politicians in DC are dictating strategy and tactics to our military planning, logistics, and execution, then we’re just repeating stupid mistakes of the past.

Seize Kharg Island, shut down Iran’s oil industry and let them suffer the consequences if you wish to bring them to heel.

There’s approximately as much time that has passed between the current day and World War II as between World War II and the American Civil War. How do you think the combined armies of the Union and the Confederacy would have fared against the German Army, Luftwaffe, and Kreigsmarine of 1941?
The fact that he has a law license is amazing given the fact that he faked evidence and suborned perjury in the civil suit against the homeowners association in the Trayvon Martin wrongful death claim. Any other lawyer in America would have been permanently disbarred.
Unless that was taken from way out on the Navarre pier facing west and is most of some of the rarest pictures ever taken, it is fake and AI.

Edit: I guess I’m too much of a geezer skeptic. Appears real.
Packages? I can’t get my carrier to deliver envelopes properly. She’s been my mailman for over ten years and constantly talks to her girlfriends while walking her route. My mail gets delivered to my neighbors and vice versa, often on different streets several blocks away.
Pensacola Beach. Go to the west to Gulf Islands National Seashore/Ft Pickens. Six miles of beach with no structure on it. Bring food and water.
