The all said about the same thing: you could die waiting for somebody to pick you up out here.

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 16, 2019:

@creative51 why celebrate that confederate flag? It celebrates a lost cause and the mythology behind it, with the slaves singing happily in the fields, hoop skirts, gracious living, etc. When I was attending public school , there wasn't pre-civil war slaves narratives and Fredrick Douglas' autobiography wasn't required reading. School explains history from the ruling class point of view. In my public school it was "the war between the states" instead of the Civil War. You're likely to hear the same history as the "war of northern aggression" in Dixie now. Just sitting in high school wasn't going to explain who Jim Crow was. That was outside reading. Like the bible, the version of history was the one that appealed to the ruling class. Likewise nobody mentioned a century of US Indian wars from the Indians perspective. Nobody tried to explain history from the Marxist point of view. Instead there was a class "Marxism vs America." It wasn't until I was a year away from graduating, I found out about the Mongolian hoards as the rulers of the largest empire ever to exist on the planet. Timbuktu was skipped over. The empires of Africa -- forget them, they weren't going to cover that. It's because history in high school was euro-centric in high school. They wouldn't chunk students out of the library for outside reading. The history was there but history outside of class wasn't required.

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 16, 2019:

@creative51 One could easily ask why those in the north ignore **ALL** 13 colonies began as slave states. It was being phased out prior to the civil war because the same reasons that turning a profit with slavery is more difficult than underpaying workers. All this time you might have thought it was humanitarian reasons. Now let's slide back an eon or so to Timbuktu. It had four things going for it: salt, gold, slave trade and having the Harvard University of the dark ages. If anyone wandered into Timbuktu with a book, they would have to stay there making copies and translations. As a result, they heavily documented how to maximize profits from slavery. These rules were hidden away because we're talking Timbuktu which is still pretty close to impossible to get to. It's at the end of an river too rough to navigate on the edges of the Sahara Desert, surrounded by hostile tribes that'd lynch you for your shoe laces. Once the slavery rules from Timbuktu were published in Dixie, the slave owners turned a profit. The rules were ultra brutal like almost starve 'em to death, over work them until the muscle pulled off the bones, whip 'em, kill a few for show, make them do dangerous work that'll kill 'em . . . . . The humanitarians started to object but not as seriously as you might think. After all Christianity **endorsed** slavery. The bigger reasons for the civil war was economic. With slavery supporting Dixie's economy it was **ONE** factor. I'm not going to list all the **other** factors because I'm not going write history book this week. There are people who view the confederacy with a romantic bend, facts being to the contrary. They view it as their heritage. It's merely a period of history their ancestors had a part in, although most people during that era were subsistence farmers. Subsistence as in the crop doesn't come in, you die. Their fate wasn't all that much better than the slaves. Back in the early 60's the worse race riots were in the northern states and California. So it's not like Yankees are all that saintly either. In the meantime, the mint crop is starting to come in. Those barbarians around the Great Lakes are too uncivilized to make a mint julep and watch their yahoos drive by with their own stupid flag.

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 16, 2019:

@glennlab In the middle of nowhere on the interstate highway, 70 mph (112 kilometers per hour) is the speed limit, with exceptions in a few western states. Setting the cruise control a *little* above means the police will ignore you. Speeding tickets are dependent on how far over the limit you go. The cops want to impress the judge. The judge doesn't want to hear the case of the guy who went three miles over the limit. Most people in nowhere land will put cruise control at 80 mph (128 kph). Anyone leaving vapor trails get pulled over by the cops. Once a person gets near a town, the Interstate speed limit can drop to as low as 55 mph (88 kph). While I'm among the 80 mph crowd, I **average** 50 mph. After an hour in the car I need a rest break for silly things like reliving my bladder, getting gasoline, having a meal or my legs start to lock up.

Before drugs such as heroin and marijuana were outlawed it was cheaper to stay stoned than drunk. Some drugs were tied in with ethnic/racial groups to make it more popular to outlaw them. We'un's got to outlaw cocaine for those black guys and outlaw marijuana for the Mexicans, don't 'ya know? The history of drugs in gringo land is mostly a rich tale of big bucks in action.

@creative51 To be fair I have to assume there are some open minded people who live in the South. In Florida, the split is at Ocala. Anything north of that is ultra conservative. Anything south of there, it's liberal voters. Of course there's Florida's space coast were they got all those rocket scientists chunking missiles into space. When you say "open minded" I assume you mean anyone who agrees with you.

@creative51 They were out voted in the Alabama legislature the other day. Politicians don't always do what the **majority** of the voters want them to do. This vote is to curry the favor of the anti-abortion clan. The purpose is about getting abortion reviewed by the Supreme Court, not so much about being put into law. Now we're going to see if Trump's Supreme Court nominated judges are going to change anything. While you can legitimately blame the fundamentalist groups for pressuring the politicians, you can't find anything in the bible about abortion.

@Marionville When I lived in Florida, I had a friend that I'd take to neighboring towns because the radio and cd player was broken. He left me amazed that anyone so ill informed and dense would have that much to say. It wasn't just stupid and ill informed stuff, it was **amazingly stupid.** Once he'd have a few drinks, he'd keep saying the same things repeatedly until the guilty bystanders would urge me to kill him. One time he got stuck re-telling me that when dealing with law enforcement I should tell them I was a poor boy because that would get me off the hook. His daddy told him that. Then he told me again and again from Mobile, Alabama to Pensacola, Florida. He'd had a few drinks before we left Mobile. I referred to him as Clyde d'Wonderfog. One guy confided to me "Clyde could be outwitted by a fern." Today, I have audio books.

My favorite scene is where a beautiful looking woman tells her date she's already masturbated because she has no interest in him and wouldn't be anywhere near him if he wasn't paying for an expensive meal. Ever went out on dates where the arm candy clearly wasn't interest in you but did want to see the movie as long as you were paying for it? Did you **want** to know the truth?

A car left in the sun here is the same as the low setting on an oven: you can use it to make baked goods. Leave your doughnuts next to the back window and the glaze will melt off. A car in the summer is a great way to warm up left overs for dinner. Here people who live out in the county go to town with an ice chest on the back seat when they want to bring home groceries. Once in town, they buy dry ice for the frozen groceries. That's how I wound up with a vast collection of ice chests: ones for ice and ones for dry ice.
