I agree Bobby Tony.

One of my early jobs was being a draftsman and map maker, and in those olden days before plotters, we hand scripted information in various weights, which made up the visual communication vehicle - the drafted drawing.

The key to the project's success was the consistency of form.

Well, I think I am becoming your fourth friend, so keep the posts coming.

You and I will make you immortal, and Ted, and Alex, and Sabe, and Kathy, and Rod, and ...

Hillary B.'s biggest drawback, besides being a chronic liar, is her complete lack of real experience in education, world's affairs, etc.

As someone, who has served 18 years as a county commissioner and did take a keen interest in how education works and should work, the worst thing you can do is seek Federal help, with all their stupid bureaucratic strings attached.

This obvious wisdom rolls far beyond Hillary B.'s limited cognitive abilities.

Sabe, I think you are hung up on semantics.

It is my experience, and few people know Liberals as well as I do, that most Liberals have morphed into Authoritarian "progressives".

I still remember when elected Democrats could do math, were patriots, and were astounded by members of their party - the Lyndon Johnson wing - who were content to begin the carving up of their nation to win generations of voters.

Great comment B.T.

Make it into a post so more people will see it for a long, long time.

I have two daughters, who are big Bernie supporters, and both have no real understanding of our founding documents after years of having me as a father, and both are poor at math, which also I had nothing to do with. Both have degrees in art from the prestigious East Carolina University School of Art, which does not explain their ineptitude in math, because I too have a background in art and design, and I understand math far better than most.

The only thing that I know explains all this is the our poor education system in North Carolina - top to bottom - for even now, I have a hard time breaking through the indoctrination shell to expose them to real higher learning, far beyond that which East Carolina University can offer on many important subjects.

I say that it must be our poor North Carolina education system, because my children are not alone in having a poor grasp of what is real, and what is real knowledge. What do I mean by saying that both of my graduated daughters are not alone: Most people around here that I meet think inside 'the box', and that box is getting smaller every day. Someone should tell them; show them.

This is the world I live in here in eastern North Carolina. Tell me Bobby Tony: What is it like in northeast Georgia?

Great post B.T.

You put much thought into this one. I am looking forward to digging into this one when I have the wakeful accuity tomorrow.

I just wonder how many people don't get this.

And that my be the biggest joke.

Talking about women will always get one in trouble, so, the less said the better.

B.T., my brother of a different mother, you do as you wish here at BCN. It is all well appreciated, and I do appreciate the creativity.

Ted McDonald should be your first subject. My buddy, Hood, would be mine: beaufortcountynow.com

Well said yourself B.T.

Ronald Reagan is a large part of me switching from Democrat to Republican.

You know though, I never really respected Nancy as first lady ... probably never respected any woman as first lady, but after reading about how much Nancy influenced the man that radically realigned my sensibilities toward American governing, I began to think: How much of a role did Nancy play in me finding my way toward a truer path?

It is something I consider.

I'll buy this projected reporté.

I never said the next 'race to the bottom' presidential election will not be funny, and I prefer to 'laugh rather than cry'.

Thank-you Kathy for this humorous aside.

Cruz is a leader. The best leaders are smart. Cruz is smart.

But even if Hussein was a leader, he has a really crappy band.

I am not a phone guy. As a tool that I have to have, I have become a pretty good computer guy. I use it to create stuff.

As one who is code empathetic, I believe that we have much to learn, and I believe that there is a way to serve both needs - code safety and national security.

I swear Bobby Tony; once again, I see it the same way from my now 61 year old perspective.

Last night, I saw a documentary on Levon Helm's last years, and it just made me sad. He was rail thin, and smoked pot until the near end, drank some too. Very sad.

The documentary should have been titled: Levon: Still with us, but Wasting Away.

The old adage: 'Those who can do; those who cant't teach' rings more true as I get older. There are some rather accomplished folks in the education industry, and there are many overpaid dolts as well.

Society, here in our America, is at the lowest rung of real knowledge that I have ever seen, and many children graduating from college have a skewed perspective of their place in it.

Try finding these youth to start in my business, where they will have much to learn, and yet they think they know so much, so much of nothing really valuable.

Great post Bobby Tony - Really lays it all out.

It is a real 'header scratcher' of an issue - civil liberties vs civil protection.

It just seems that if there are terrorists, there could be security protocols put into place, where code could be written in a secure place that would stay there, thus discovery could be made from that safe place.

You know, I forgot about the Democrats, like Hillary Clinton, and her followers, who believe that a Democrat can be president without being a patriot.

How safe would that code be with Hillary or fellow non patriot Hussein at the wheel?

And then the conundrum becomes more complex.
