    The general decline in standards today

    Hi Interesting. We have a low income housing complex down the street. When testifying at the local board (Not sure who anymore), the builder said that all of the renters would go through a Wichita Police Department back-ground check. The local (as in lived a few doors down) Wichita Police...

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi I think that you're wrong (maybe not ENTIRELY wrong) about the "Not ready for Democracy" being equivalent to being racist. In order to fully, correctly embrace Democracy, you also have to fully embrace the Christian concept of forgiveness. Note that we don't put out last president in...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    Well, I looked at the online version and I would have to agree with you. From their online index, it appears to be primarily a sex magazine for women. I would have called it a feminist magazine had I not looked. I think that many American's would have had the same notion of the magazine...

    Harry truman hats

    Hi Wise guy I was going to mention that the bartenders will give you a spankin' for that one until I saw Winky. Later

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Hi This website is great for learning about your dog type, of course you have previous experience. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/australiancattledog.htm We had a Great Pyrenees for a Month, ex-wife was allergic so he found a new home. I used a lot of the information to get Tucker trained...

    50's Khaki Pants Reproductions

    Hi I own two pair of the ATF Khaki pants, and they're a little heavier than my Cabela's 6 ounce Khaki pants. They're worn very well. I also suggest buying several pair of the Herringbone Twill First model pants. They're olive twill and are heavier than the Khaki's, but have the "normal"...

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi I agree. I didn't mean to include the average or even above average Harvard grad in the "brightest and best" category. Ever read Rich Dad, Poor Dad? Story of a kid whose professor (real Dad) made little money and his Rich Dad (best friend's Dad) knew how to make and keep money. Later

    Bourbon

    Hi I like the Famous Grouse, at least in part because of the W. E. B. Griffin Marine Corps novels, but its supposed to be the bar brand Scotch of Scotland... Have you tried Dewar's White Label? I drank that until I got into the grouse. Later

    The general decline in standards today

    But before it goes completely under, the thread title is "The general decline in standards today", how much of that decline is directly and indirectly caused by the people we elect to govern us? Our brightest and best commonly have a real job... Later

    30 years of Raiders of the Lost Ark tomorrow

    Hi I saw Raiders the year it came out, watching it with a bunch of Jewish kids from Chicago. They take Nazi's personally, so there was cheering during the movie when the bad guys' heads exploded. I didn't watch Bogart movies until about 2 years ago, now I own at least 7 on DVD. Later

    Panama Hat Thread

    Hi The grass hats, Sun Body get wet, they just swell a bit and repel water after that stage. Sun Body is in Houston Texas, and well, you're in Australia. I don't think Panama's swell like that. I'd consider an Akubra with vents, and get a hat jack to let it dry on. Just my $0.01, I don't...

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    Hi All of this dealer stuff is new to me. When I lived in Wichita, my Mother-In-Law would have occasional garage sales. We always had a sign up saying all sales were final because at least twice during the sale, someone would buy a $1.00 object, drive off, get a price tag and put $50.00 or so...

    Unusually Smart-Looking Men

    Hi, back when all of that stuff went out of style (1979), a friend of mine bought the white jacket, white pants, black pants, and EVERY color they had of shirt at $5 a piece I think. Still kind of got hosed, but he wore them on Halloween. Later

    Bourbon

    Hi I like Jim Beam for Bourbon and Coke, Maker's Mark for sipping. One thing that struck me though is that the better bourbon's are great, but the mediocre bourbon's (slightly better than the 10% Bourbon, and 90% pure grain alcohol and carmel coloring ones) are still o.k. I also drink Scotch...

    tonyb.....hatter and a gentleman

    Hi It's a pretty exact copy of the hats that the Rough Riders wore up Kettle hill during the Spanish American War. It has the advantage of also being almost the perfect safari / outdoors hat. My other similar hat is Western weight, and for summer, the dress fedora weight works better. The...

    Unusually Smart-Looking Men

    Hi Unfortunately for America, the only time anyone wears formal clothing is at their Prom and nine months later, at their first Wedding. :D O.K. seriously, Out of 450,000 people in Wichita, probably 200 went to the Symphony, and not all of those wore a tux / evening wear. Proms and weddings...

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi Flicka, Working the average dictator's secret police is the easiest job in the world. Free uniforms, if you see or hear about someone that you think might eventually decide to be disloyal to you (or fearless leader), you just arrest them and take all of their stuff to distribute among you...

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi Mr. Stratford, You are somewhat correct. I don't look upon it as a "life peerage" for un-reelected politicians, as I do a life Kleptocracy. The politicians are purchased by various interests (business, unions, religious organizations, and the media), then when in office pay those...
