The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Here’s what’s true, Jedi-

When I posted this, I pretty much figured that you’d be quick to answer, I pretty much knew what you’d say.

I also knew that what you’d say would display evidence that you hadn’t read the article I linked, but instead would simply be a spasm of old, familiar reflexes that you exhibit whenever you are triggered.

Ok....

my reply wasn't personal, it was about Washington and Woke Liberals banishing Founders from certain places.

1.)Glad you thought about me - I still live in Club 401K's non diverse brain rent free - good to know :)

2.)Glad you made it personal - when I didn't (do more. Because the punishment that's come alive - lol--is not gonna be fixed)

3.)I never once said I read the article. I didn't even hint I did.

Triggered? No, the shooters and victims your culture has caused in America and the dead in your Ukraine and Soviet wars - they are triggered.

I just held the skunk up by the tail: Referencing Founders when convenient - nope, that dog don't hunt.

Now, if Liberals want to say "the Woke are nuts to be tearing down their statues" - I hereby rescind my post.

Washington? LOL - it's great more and more Americans aren't aware of history. And more and more are NOT proud of it. This makes it easier for demagogues to incite them and divide them. (Has that happened in your country lately? LOL)
