    Hi Mark, The Army got rid of the Golden Knights comp teams because they concluded that they did not increase recruiting enough for the money spent. IMO we should do the same for those military flyovers at sporting events. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, And, this is new? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, in 1960, I spent about 10 weeks at Gunter AFB, just outside of Montgomery, Alabama. There were a lot of white folks who felt strongly about 'the flag.' It just was not the flag you and I think a lot about. Flags of the Confederate States of America - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen PS) Earlier, I had taken a bus from San Antonio, Texas to Montgomery, Alabama. Our one & only stop was for food just after we crossed into Mississippi. To this day, I can still see that white line that ran right down the center of that eatery. There was a chest-type coke machine & the white line ran right down the middle of it, also. Some things are just wrong.

    Hi Sky, From my post #68, above: 'Re: more than education can I made my first jump in Feb '64. I've listened to that old 'education' BS ever since. IMO it has never worked.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, Re: but many associate them with the military Re: In the military; the standard of hero is I believe that you were a lifer; yes/no? I think your military bias is shading your thinking. I might be wrong, but it is what I think. And, IMO it is for this very reason that the military is not in charge of this country. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, While it is just a snapshot in time: The only person in my extended family looking to buy a car will soon buy a new EV. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, I could not disagree more. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like some people do not believe that there is a collapse in EV sales: The South Korean automaker said in 2022 it would invest $5.5 billion to assemble electric vehicles and batteries in Ellabell, just west of Savannah. The site is supposed to have 8,100 employees and is slated to begin producing vehicles in 2025. Hyundai and LG announce $4.3 billion plant in Georgia to build batteries for electric vehicles | AP News The world, she is'a changing. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Hmm, I'm thinking Howdy should go a little higher. But, that is just my opinion. As I have posted many times, the first time I ever voted for POTUS, the choices were LBJ & Goldwater. I thought, 'Is this the best that this country can do?' The choices will be a lot easier next year: Biden vs any GOP nutcase. Jerry Baumchen PS) I have never failed to vote in any election in that I was eligible to vote in.

    Hi Mark, And, this veteran does also. Quite often I see someone saying something that I do not agree with. That is the trade-off for the First Amendment. And, I am sure that I have a neighbor or two who disagrees with my yard sign. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Marcel, Re: more than education can I made my first jump in Feb '64. I've listened to that old 'education' BS ever since. IMO it has never worked. At the end of the day, it is the DZO's who will make the decisions necessary. Some allow swooping, low pulls, etc; and, some do not. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Re: "not a jury of my peers.” On that, I would agree with him. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, And, here is one reason for not doing so: Man shoots bear; a day later, the same bear attacks the man (msn.com) Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, Here is another option: King Rat (Clavell novel) - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like he should have stood farther back: Rhodes, 58, is the first person charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack to be sentenced for seditious conspiracy Extremist Oath Keepers founder gets longest sentence yet in Jan. 6 attack - oregonlive.com He's now got 18 yrs to 'Stand back & Stand by.' Mark another one up for the good guys. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, Re: You do know he is a liar don't you? What, what? Next you are going to say that there is no Tooth Fairy.* Oh, the horror. Jerry Baumchen * After 60+ yrs of good service, I just had a Wisdom tooth removed. I guess nothing is forever.

    Hi folks, Maybe, just maybe: Uvalde anniversary poll finds support for enacting gun restrictions : NPR From the article: That's the highest in 10 years and includes 4 in 10 gun owners. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi airdvr, Huh? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like they are going to have to increase those enlistment bonuses: Head of Russian private army Wagner says more than 20,000 of his troops died in Bakhmut battle | AP News Join now & spend a lifetime in uniform. It's the length of that 'lifetime; that is problematic. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, As I have posted before, you bring more to this discussion than any other poster. THANK YOU, Jerry Baumchen PS) Oh, I agree 100%. Also, doing nothing is not the solution.

    Hi Joe, Re: lame assed arguments that the cost is too high Those that sat in gas lines during the fuels shortage of the '70's did not concern themselves with the costs. They just wanted their cars to get them going again. When there is no more, the costs will not be something to be concerned about. BTDT, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, Along with the PC Jr, the Edsel, etc. We could go on forever. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, Re: what's right And, that depends upon your 'right' vs the other person's 'right.' The 2024 elections are going to be a real shit-show. Stay cool & think before you react. Jerry Baumchen
