For which we should all give thanks, each in his* own way.

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Hmmm, the “Points in favor” link is filtered, I can only imagine why, something about adult content. Anyway I remember reading about a Black American, during WWI, going to France & being treated like, well like a human being. And as I recall He did himself proud by performing very well in combat. Seems that because of his race, his services were not sought by his native America. I remember thinking at the time, “Those French sure got it together when it comes race relations, our loss, their gain”. But, alas, I was wrong all time. It just took longer to show, & a little different skin color to bring out their racism.
Not adult content Mark – I’d never do that (without a warning). Just a collection of photographs of a rather fetching French newscaster.
“She” must be fetching to kick in those filters, I’ll find out later
Oh, she is, Mark! Holy cow, somebody find me a picture of her without makeup before I go and kill myself! Creatures that perfect should exist only in men’s imaginations…

As long as you don’t start using terms like seapersons….
Lex would never use “seapersons”… he’s a seaman, through and through…..
*turns and flounces away with a wink*
oh… and FbL-
That lovely young thang is what the rest of us ladies refer to as a BITCH, because she ruins it for the rest of us “normal” chicks.
I like normal! I married normal.
Not flouncing, but, you know: Normal.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with flouncing – especially around seamen)
