  1. Personally I run the tail of my climb line through a biner on the side of my upper saddle, to keep my tail out of harm's way. Jomoco
  2. Which begs the question of whether belief in some form of deity is inherent to being human? Everyone believes in A bombs, because seeing is believing. Keeping one's powder dry until definitive proof is evident, seems prudent. Jomoco
  3. I'm often amused by the distinct possibility that science itself is a tool of god. None but a handful believed in the power of the atomic bomb till it made it's world debut. Pick your poison, Hindu, Moslem, Christian or whatever, the first that can prove it's worth by providing tangible touchable indisputable benefit to it's believers, wins the ballgame. Does a sick priest or pope at death's doorstep, pray to be cured, or go to the nearest hospital to see if medical science can help them? Are there metaphorical A bombs ticking away inside all of us, awaiting discovery? Jomoco
  4. I knew you were yankin my chain Mull, just to be clear. I'm not entirely convinced yet that Israel has any such policy being enforced. Though I've no doubt Bibi'd be all for it.... I kinda doubt the rabid zionists are anywhere close to a majority party in Israel, anymore than the tea party's anywhere close to being so here. And that's a good thing IMHO. Jomoco
  5. Because it's tangible proof of racism, if it is indeed a state policy being enforced. Bibi n Trump will be great pals, but not in a good way for Israelis, or Americans I fear..... Jomoco
  6. How many countries, other than Israel, require genetic testing to attain full citizenship rights? http://jlb.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/06/16/jlb.lsv027.full Seems a bit peculiar, possibly even racist IMO. Jomoco
  7. Now that it's done and the head's on a pike?
  8. Makes no difference.......where you are..... Jomoco
  9. But, but, I love Israelis, wonderful people! It's the zionists like Bibi that piss me off.... Jomoco

    Way back in 1980, when I first started scribbling. In rivulets running spiraling and tumbling Gently runs the rain Knowing not where Softly laughing It finds its way there Gently falling from high above Amusing two lovers deeply in love They listen to the rain Speaking and dreaming Feeling no pain How I wish that I Could be as the rain Why is it my dreams Are dreamt in vain Gently the rain Washes clean my soul As well as this city So unyielding and cold Gentle the rain So quietly bold Softly in slumber My lover now sleeps As over this city My god still weeps Crying for children He longs to keep As softly his tears Lull his son to sleep Jomoco
  11. Then pray tell which administration's sold Israel more arms Ted? Educate me, please? Jomoco
  12. So selling Israel 38 billion dollars worth of armaments is unfriendly in your eyes Ted? Big US military aid package to Israel has strings attached Tell me more..... Jomoco

    Another from 34 years ago. While strolling the corridors of my mind I happened upon Mr. Space and Mrs Time Greetings I cried my hands held high But something was wrong for they would not reply Could it be a tear he just wiped from her eye Suddenly I found myself down on my knees Somehow knowing it important that I try to appease Is there some reason you heed not my call I whispered as another tear began to fall Finally he turned And I cowered from the light that flashed from his eyes There is good reason was his noble reply That you know why my lady cries For the universe is vast Good company rare I beg you to love one another Be more willing to share For tis a lonely fate Just the sky and I As when you are gone My lady will die Mr. Space and Mrs Time Jon Mooring 1982

    This by me about five years ago. History repeating itself in one hundred year cycles The age of the robber barons dawning once again Consolidation of wealth and power into the hands of just a few Actors on our political stage proclaim we did it all for you While backstage they slap each others backs and congratulate themselves Their's an uneasy heaven our's a daily hell The guillotine so sharp and glistening winds up to the top The bright eyed peasants befouled and grimy cheer it as it drops While high above the moon shines brightly indifferent to our plight Jomoco

    Some bloke name uv Henry James, from Turn of the Screw. Miles: What shall I sing to my lord from my window? What shall I sing for my lord will not stay? What shall I sing for my lord will not listen? Where shall I go when my lord is away? Whom shall I love when the moon is arisen? Gone is my lord and the grave is his prison. What shall I say when my lord comes a calling? What shall I say when he knocks on my door? What shall I say when his feet enter softly? Leaving the marks of his grave on my floor. Enter my lord. Come from your prison. Come from your grave, for the moon is a risen. Welcome, my lord.
  16. Lumps of coal all round the world, eh lads?
  17. I once knew a couple crane operators who felt that way about their outriggers. When they'd leave the ground, they'd ask me to cut the pick a little smaller.
  18. I don't get it. There are mountains of historic precedence of what works n what sucks. Dwight D worked. GWB n Obama suck. Tea Partiers remind me of Wilma Flintstone n Betty Rubble, off on a shopping spree, shoutin charge it! Pax Americana, on credit! Mighty peculiar these 21st century "conservatives"........ Jomoco
  19. How about upside down n foolish, just as the client snapped a pic?
  20. Meet the new boss....same as the old boss.... https://steemit.com/trump/@corbettreport/meet-team-trump Tea Party two, treadin on you? Jomoco
  21. So tax cuts during wartime is now a conservative principle guys? Since when, GWB n Obama? Raygun who tripled our natnl debt? Jomoco
  22. How about a couple years of austerity for multinational corps? Eisenhower taxrates until our natnl debt's been sorted? You guys talk the talk, you just can't walk the walk, like Ike. Jomoco
  23. It'll be interesting to see whether locking Hillary up can be done without locking GWB, Cheney n Obama up also? I believe Trump'll stay the course in foreign relations. Jomoco
