re your…”We still have the debt issue showing itself in Europe and we may be next.”
So far, as far back as I can remember in the 1970s, (country or people) debt is only a problem for the lender. No more debtors prison. When they stop paying, usually get a fresh start. Mexico got money, Poland got money from IMF etc, loans always get forgiven.
Its just paper money I guess why. If they were lending GOLD it would be a different story. Paper money loans on paper checks don’t mean anything. Nothing bad will happen re Greece, if they don’t pay or agree to terms. Its all hype imo.
In fact if they don’t pay and drop out of the European union, that would be good, because of a domino effect, and the countries would be separate and independent again like they used to be.
Integrating or merging countries together (consolidation) is good ONLY for international business and international power. NOT each country where some countries benefit at the expense of others. Welfare. Easier for a few to control and manipulate billions of people.

I’m not a golfer so I’ve been only following the tournament peripherally. I hear the course is very difficult.
Hasn’t rained here in about a month so we’re dry dry dry.
Cheers
Good morning Oasis

Say ipso, larryc, how’s that little golf event down yer way going?
Chamber’s Bay is similar to a coupla tracks up my way, without the water background. Well small water, if you look hard.
Quite surreal seeing a “dry” course in your rain forest. And HayZeus, 7800 yerds from the tips, only Flag can grunt it that far.
Mr Copper
I wish I could be as optimistic as you but I live in Calif. We still have the debt issue showing itself in Europe and we may be next. After I wrote that just few minutes ago read that shooter was on prescribed drugs. Don’t know if true yet or not.
Neverthelessless homes still selling here. My daughters other parents in law retired Air Force just sold their home in three days and got multi bids. Maybe in time. Their getting out now. Not because of drought but way things are going here.
@Goldilocks
You’re right on all that. Good points. I think things will get better. I see and hear signs. I’ve been optimistic for the USA future since the summer ’08 to march ’09 crash. Things could not get any worse at that time, and TPTB just “fixed” and bailed out GM et al.
Mr Copper
There are a lot of disabled people in the world either from birth or aquired through time and some were victims. The ones who act out are minuscule and no one ” unless they give warming” can predict they would do something like that. Then there are others for no apparent reason and or do things like kill their family. As society dies people start looking for someone to blame or take their anger out on instead of looking at the major source of the problem or are afraid to. As it dies there will be more of this as people lose hope at least in their lives. There will be more people looking for and or given drugs to cope or alcohol abuse.
Obama jumping on this to promote his anti gun propaganda. No mention of the fact that most of these mass killings are in gun free zones or places where people would not usuallu have them making easy targets and higher incident of victims. Schools, malls, theaters, churches. As far as hate crime where is the hate crime on riots where they targeted whites or things like the recent black man who hit and knocked down a 80 year old woman at a store in what he called the knock out game. Another easy target and cowardly act. Or the black girl who taunted a elderly white on a rail train telling how she was gonna beat her ass until another black finally stopped her in Georgia. She didn’t look like she was all there either but did looked race driven.
Re The Nut Job Killers Of Innocent People
I think they do it to become famous and well known. And or make a message like the Uni-Bomber. So the PTB Media should set examples to discourage others. People living with nut-jobs, KNOW they are nuts, and should be partly responsible.
Maybe the parents should be required to “Register” the sickos like a firearm. Often the kids are on illegal and or prescription drugs that cause these things. Abnormal behavior. Anybody notice Obama mentioned guns as the problem? Then called it a hate crime.
Why didn’t they call it “Gun Violence” instead of hate crime? Jerks jerks and more diabolical jerks in high places.
PS, over the decades, the various brainwashing and manipulation, and politically correct baloney has created millions of mad angry people, and neurotics. A bunch of control freaks. No more live and let live.
Some of these nut jobs don’t like you if you drive a gas guzzling SUV. Some don’t like gun owners because THEY don’t own any. Don’t like hunters because they don’t hunt. I heard some of these idiots don’t want you burning wood in a fireplace.

Sometimes society around them creates these monsters. Many factors of influence including school, food, adjuvants in vaccines, air, media, TV, Judicial system and Drugs. The columbine high school at least one was on prescription drugs that was just changed due to his violent ideations to another with similar side affects. The pharmas in America are walking free while they profit.
This new killer did you see his eyes? It’s like he’s off the reservation, not there. If I saw him off the street Id stay away from him. Guessing another one that slipped through the cracks of the system and a system who thinks drugs or locking people up are the answer.
In Calif. There a Pan who is pushing for mandatory vaccinations to everyone. Now according to people who are tracking him he wants cops to be able to shoot people with drugs that they deem mentally unstable like a wild animal without knowing their medical history, if they are already on drugs, or what adverse effects they could have or the misuse or abuse in untrained or hostile hands. Since he’s also a doctor I suggested to them which I think they already are address the medical board. This church killing although tragic and good people were killed pales to the things Gov is doing to people collectivly everyday and in this case with the race baiting instigating it.

Can’t disagree with any of that.
The megalomaniacs are a dangerous crew these days.
IPSO – As I recall from a sociology class I took many years ago as an engineering student ….
Crime is lowest in the smallest municipalities , because anonimity ( sp?) is virtually nonexistent . That , plus one does not want to shame family when they are known to the entire community .
I guess as the community grows larger , the megalomaniacs have more cover , and psychopathic tendencies prevail for the elitist few . Some of the more benevolent actually do some good for the populace , but most benefit themselves first .
Study: Oil and gas waste, enhanced recovery wells linked to quakes
CU and USGS researchers found quakes occurred near 10 percent of 180,000 injection wells
A new study of 180,000 oil and gas industry wells found that earthquakes occurred within nine miles of 10 percent of the wells after fluids were injected into the ground.
The University of Colorado and U.S. Geological Survey study unveiled Thursday also found that wells where companies injected fluids at high rates — exceeding 300,000 barrels a month — were 1.5 to 2 times more likely to be associated with quakes.
The number of quakes near oil and gas wells in the central and eastern United States has reached 650 a year, researchers found, up from a handful in the 1970s.
In Colorado, the industry operates eight waste disposal wells where companies inject fluids at rates greater than 300,000 barrels a month, state regulators said in response to Denver Post queries.
Oil and gas companies operate 920 injection wells statewide — 350 for disposal of drilling wastewater and 570 for accelerating extraction of oil and gas from deep rock, state records show. read more

Is that the way of all civilizations? Some sort of natural cycle? I guess when there’s cities, population centers, that there needs to be some organization and … organizers who tend to accrue privilege. Supposedly some of those civilizations died because of drought. Although who knows?

IPSO , TreeFrog – I have been watching a ‘Great Courses’ lecture series on Lost Civilizations of South America
And found it interesting that several thousand years ago there was a civilization in the area now covered by Peru which suffered little or no hunger , had no evidence of a social strata ( no elites ) , no signs of a religious hierarchy , and no defenses . Sounds like they had it figured out . Then came the Shaman class , social hierarchy , defenses , and a lot of slavery to make flashy homes , monuments , etc . for the pleasure of the elite .

That’s a big list of bad stuff. But what has been … is no reason not to strive for a better future.
When you wake up in the morning do you look towards a bad day because yesterday was crummy, or do you try to accomplish something positive with it?
ipso,
“… I have hopes that mankind can improve and that we can treat each other better…” i have those hopes too, but in my reading of history i have seen no evidence that such improvement has ever been manifested. in the last century, we have seen a couple hundred million people slaughtered, mostly by people drawing government paychecks.

belgians in the congo
holodomor
stalin’s purges and deportations

The banker who jumped to his death last year at the JP Morgan Headquarters in London landed on the roof of an adjacent building on the 9th floor. His body was discovered at 8 A.M. The body was not removed til later in the day. Other bankers working that day had the gory remains laterally staring them while they did their assigned work.
