Open Thread - 11-12-21 - Have You Seen the Stars Tonight

Submitted by JtC on Fri, 11/12/2021 - 8:25am

Back in 1980 the 13 series documentary Cosmos by Carl Sagan had a profound effect on myself. I anxiously awaited every week for the new episode to air and then watched it again later in the week when it aired for the second time. As soon as possible I ran out to Barnes and Noble and bought the accompanying book just missing getting a first edition by only a few days. To me this was television at its finest and would eventually lead to a decades old hobby of mine, astronomy.

SOS/Call to Action for Australia - Dec. 4th Worldwide

Submitted by Blue Republic on Fri, 11/12/2021 - 3:59am

Australia has been plunged into dystopia in the name of health and science, in no small part because it was unthinkable - until it happened. Canada and New Zealand are hardly better off. There should be no doubt on the part of anyone paying attention that the PTB intend a similar fate for the US if they can pull it off.

The longer we remain passive, the better their chances of accomplishing it - and the cavalry is *not* on the way.

Fall in Rural France: The Hunt

In rural Pacific Northwest, we knew a lot of hunters. Some went to Central Oregon. Others went to the coast. Most ate the animals, usually Deer or Elk, they shot.

In rural France hunting is around us many times of the year. The historical tie to proud shared ownership of forests, woodlands and pastures is the freeing of hunting lands for use not by the titled but use by everyone. The hunting traditions live to this day.

A column for kind and considerate conversation of all things COVID

The wisdom and accumulated knowledge in the older and elderly are an important bank of cultural, historical, practical ways of doing many things. Our losses of older people are stored information we need now more than ever.

Treasure the old and experienced.

This is an open thread for Covid. Please be kind and civil. Thank you.

Missing jobs, not missing workers. They traded the jobs away first!

Here is a set of facts which exposes whats being done. This fake "missing workers" is a cover up to hide the bfact that they already promised decades ago to open up a large number of our jobs to other countries, IF THEY WILL DO THEM FOR LESS. Much less and they have to bid againat each other. We likely cant demand they pay Americans "US legal" wages as we already agreed not to. READ THE FINE PRINT.
