    Yeah butterflies need a little stubble, to make it believable. Good thing they aren’t mayflies…

    A shaved butterfly. That’s two new sayings I’ve come up with today.

    I’ve never seen a butterfly (or moth) develope from anything that looked remotely like either of these guys. They look like half gherkin pickle half millipede.

    I often wonder what it’d be like to undergo metamorphosis. Would I retain my memories or become a new person?.I think too much but it might be an interesting experience. Maybe next life.

    However, when you swipe the card’s magnetic strip and compare it to the state’s database the truth comes out… Oh, and then it places a hold on that ID/person preventing any additional voting during that same election.

    @pcolliIn light of your memory theme today;

    I think it would be interesting if old people got anti-Alzheimer’s disease where they slowly began to recover other people’s lost memories.George Carlin

    And Russell. That had a edge to it. (Edge of truth!) Thats alright Obama gonna make the whole world US citizens. Sorry rest of the world. Why should we be the only ones suffering.I did try to get you elected pcolli but it was an uphill battle. The song by the Who rings again in my ears.“Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.”When this next fiscal crisis hits I wonder are we going take down the financial world and not Greece or Spain?

    I was amazed at the last election. Had this person in our office trying to renew her DL. She had to show proof she was legally here. Showed a “Green card” Permanent Resident. Along with that she hand me a voters registration card. I thought only US citizens by birth or naturalization could vote.(Which is the law). She went on to tell me how hundreds of those like her were all registered to vote by just marking yes to US citizenship on the application. No one apparently checks this stuff out. So the way I see it non citizens got this all started and if you look at those democratic zones of influence and compare the amount of non US citizens living there you can do the math. How many of those who voted there were even legal to vote? Maybe millions. It got me a whole state voted Republican but three little hot spots out voted the rest of the state so it went Democrat. It just flat plain amazes me.But (for now) I still do not have to fear a jackboot kicking in my door and dragging me off to prison for no reason.But that is for now.I am prepared for any eventuality as so should you all.

    Fake ID’sIt is one of the things I am a specialist at. Verifying documents for authenticity.Some of the best ones are the real ones. Just belonging to someone else.

    R. J. Rummel wrote a book called “Death by Government”Prior to the 20th century about 170 million citizens were killed by their government. In the the 20th over 200 million have been killed by their own government.Mostly all the slaughters were made possible by disarming the civilians before all the killing began.William Ayers a former leader of the Weather Underground a home grown terrorist group from the 60’s and now an upstanding citizen and Obama supporter had told his followers back then “When we take over we will have to kill 25 million Americans” he knew there would be those who resist. So Jeepercreepers if I scare you that a shame. I am here to protect you from people like that. I am not about gun control or you toeing a line of non resistance. I am just a prepared citizen. Remember the Jews of Germany. Many hoped it would pass them by. A few fought back. Warsaw ghetto. Sure they died but died fighting not being lead like a sheep to the killing floor only to be surprized.Jeeperscreeper….. What I do expect you to do is either fight with me or get the hell out of my way if times like that ever come. I hope they never happen but I would much rather be prepared than trying to catch up.There are branches of our military now out there doing things you might find scary or even BS. You just dont hear about it. I am old school. I did my time and prepared to follow the next if needed. Right now I am a weapon in storage. I hope I never have to be used.
