Breaking it down cont.
The 60s were a time of great change. Kennedy was shot, Dr. King murdered, the Vietnam war raged. The space race, the Cold War, civil rights, the sexual revolution. Suddenly it became Ok to ask questions, turn on and tune out. Many see this period of American history as chaotic but really it was the beginning of the fulfillment of the American promise. We didn't start the fire, it's been burning since the world been turnin to be cont

Big Bob: What ever would you know about "older Republican men?" You have never been one.
When I was a young Liberal, I often offered my opinion on music, but I did not play an instrument. Now, I play an instrument; I have little trouble playing Bob Dylan songs (since you referenced one of his mid sixties hits), yet I rarely offer my opinion now on music, I'd rather just listen or learn to play the song ... or make up a run of notes that please me, just me, maybe even my wife as well on occasion. What I am driving at is this: Why offer any opinion at all if you really don't know your subject well enough to make any difference in what is opined.

I just sat through a 3 hour county commissioner meeting with The Hood to my immediate right.
It was once again a rightful pleasure, especially after scanning this article that he posted today, because no matter what the man writes, how he acts or is compelled to govern, there is always a common thread of what he knows to be true. And that one common thread reassures me that at least one thing is steady and true in these days of the abject dishonesty of so many others.

Let's break it down:
HR says the decline began in the 60s. I call this the end of the "Leave it to Beaver " phase of American culture. Many older republican men remember this time with a fondness because the 60s brought two fundamental changes in American life. 1. Under law, people of color became full citizens of the United States with all the privileges and responsibilities granted under the Constiution. 2. With the invention of birth control, women could for the first time, control their reproductive process and therefore became free to live their lives as they saw fit. As every individual has the right to do. "The times they were a changin" To be continued

The AI age will soon be upon us and with it and end to all personal privacy. Not even your thoughts will be safe. Sure it all will appear surreal at first and the possibilities thereof endless, but eventually every fly on the wall be a suspect.
There will be a time when energy is rationed as it were food to those stranded on an island. This may happen because we deindustrialize ourselves to the point we can’t make enough. Or if we have enough they will fake outages, cut off substations, reroute, disengage etc. until they are able to charge you into oblivion, (research California power outages). Another thing is the massive amount of energy the AI age will require. The sure thing is that the adversary cannot stand the fact we are able to use electricity at our will til our hearts content and they will use AI to limit use.

You mentioned the Technology rolling out in the 1990's. Technically is fast approaching Little Washington! Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) which is SMART METERS is the next step coming to Washington which will be on our houses for electric and water. This is another part of Government Control using AI that we don't need or want. Do you really want them knowing everything thing you use, what time you use it and how much you use???
This AMI will just give the Government more control over the people!!! The City Council got plans in the works for AMI and we need to stand against it!!!

Bob,
Try dropping your political and opinion biases and look at this whole mess through a logical and unbiased lens. We can learn from real History, and we can make decisions on real facts. The system is not working, and the left has not presented a good alternative. We all need to look at candidates and positions as if the label was off the can and judge what is in it. Change the method and change the result.
