https://tunnel2towers.org/The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William SaroyanThe inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

So many good years! One of the advantages of being as old as I am.
If I have to choose one year, it is 2007, when Mr. AOW and I went to Indiana, and met Warren and his wife face-to-face, Such a wonderful 10 days! If not for my job, we’d have moved there right away. “Let’s send for our stuff and stay here.” Jackie has gone to her rest now (as of 2016), but I’m in constant touch with Warren. We hope that he will be visiting us for Christmas this year.
My next favorite year: 1984, when my best friend and I went to Hawaii for a week. Four islands in seven days!

I can’t think of a favorite year. I’ve head a heck of a lot of fun over the years in different ways.
If I picked a decade it would be the 90’s where I was finally making a couple dollars and golfing a lot.

It IS difficult to pick, isn’t it! Which I think says a happy thing about us all!
I have had a lot of great years, too, but I’d HAVE to say the four years in Paris and year in Munich were THE BEST. I loved EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Z, No golf lately. No golfing buddies in Cincinnati and no offense to my wife, but girl golf just doesn’t make it. It’s more fun to play decently well with others who do also and challenge you.

1981. I was a sickly kid, barely drug through high school and college. Every day, dragging from one task to another (kind of like now), and no energy for anything. 1981 was the sea change year. Everything was up, up, up after that. I made a change that turned me into a little energy factory on the go, endurance, alertness, social. Suddenly, I could schedule all those things I had on my “I want to do list” but was so tired I kept telling people “no.” It happened so fast that I didn’t even think about the change, until I looked at my calendar one day and saw I had all those ‘to do’ things – hikes, dinners, movies, museums – scheduled out, with energy to burn. It was a wonderful time of life. To be 28 and actually look forward to a future.

I am feeling CHOKED by BIDEN SUPPORT of people I know…One woman put me on her list; I haven’t seen her in 30 years and suddenly she includes me in an email asking about 30 of us to contact the Republicans who won’t vote for a Trump nominee for SCOTUS….I actually asked the last person in that dist. list “Please delete me from this list”.
Then I turn to a famous Armenian author’s site I happened to see and realized some of my own relatives are ‘friends’ with him on FB….One is a friend who barely reads, so I was a little surprised..scrolled down 2 articles of his and it’s MAKE SURE YOU VOTE FOR BIDEN!
Do they NOT UNDERSTAND SOCIALISM? Do they not understand COMPETITION WORKS? Do they not understand those who quite literally don’t understand OR appreciate America until they lose it, which they will.
I can’t even SAY here how much this bothers me………it’s WAAAAAAAAY beyond any damned words.

1971. It was the year we moved after 13 years in the San Fernando Valley heat to the ocean breezes of Newport Beach. It was like resurfacing from the ocean depths for a breath of fresh air. Subsequently our world improved tremendously for everyone in the family.

Nice, Mal! There are few things I love about the S.F> Valley anymore…..first of all, it’s like Little Mexico, which would be great if most of the people learned English and fit in, but they don’t.
Thankfully, there are still great areas of the Valley which are wonderful….the more expensive areas around Ventura Blvd are still fantastic……but the ocean breezes win! I know, living 3 miles from the ocean in Santa Monica myself!!!
And the weather couldn’t be more beautiful the least few days….the fires, tho far away, had created a kind of overcast and we could even faintly smell smoke, but that’s gone for now, thank GOD.

Re: Social Security. Me either. If you know how to turn on your ‘full’ email so it shows exactly where the email comes from, do that and see if it’s from ssa.gov. That “announcement” can be found online, but not by going to the ssa.gov website and searching for it. I wouldn’t click.
Re: your friends and family voting for Biden. Do they really want a man who said:
1. He wants to end shareholder capitalism. Yes, Snopes made a big deal trying to walk this back. “He really meant….he was advocating a stakeholder approach to capitalism.” Right. The owners (shareholders) are to be pushed aside in favor of people who have an interest, but no investment in the company. Really? All businesses exist in a regulatory and cultural milieu that forces them to be responsive to a lot more than just their owners RIGHT NOW. So what DID Joe mean? (Does he know what he meant? Doubt it.)
O, dang, I had a list of about 4 more I heard on Prager that I can’t find. You get the picture.

I HOPE MAL DOESN’T MIND MY SHARING THIS HERE>>>IT”S JOS LETTER TO THE EDITOR IN RESPONSE TO AN IDIOT. IT FITS THIS CONVERSATION PERFECTLY:
“A letter from George Kish in The Sun on Sat. titled “Biden is Best for the Nation’s Economy” had me shaking my head. Everyone can see Biden has cognizant issues, likely from dementia. The rest of his letter was so inaccurate I won’t dignify it by countering with facts.
Recently, both Biden and Kamal Harris have intentionally or unintentionally referred to a Harris-Biden ticket instead of a Biden-Harris ticket. What signal does that send?
The Democrats are calling themselves Progressive but actually are regressive by wanting Socialism. Thats old hat. Nothing that doesn’t keep coming up and rejected.
During the Great Depression in the 1930’s I recall a socialist movement known as Technocracy and saw their signs and symbols posted on billboards everywhere. It was a big circle with a lazy “S” down the middle from top to bottom, one half red, the other, white, and the word Technocracy at the bottom. It was gaining popularity due to the depression and 25% unemployment, but quickly disappeared when WW ll started and jobs became plentiful. Later, during an Economics class I attended at USC the professor talked about Technocracy and said earnings were via the number of “ERG’s” (hours) one worked. When a female student asked how an ERG from a ditch digger could be compared to say the ERG of a brain surgeon, he said there physical ERG’s and mental ERG’s, and everyone laughed. But folks were so desperate during the depression some actually believed in it.
America is unique by NOT being a socialist country and the reason so many keep trying to come here and be free. My suggestion to those that keep saying they want Socialism is to move somewhere where it already exists and leave ours the way we love it and want to preserve it.”
