Robber barons used to murder union organisers and massacre strikers. Capitalists being above their own laws is nothing particularly new; it seems somehow more sinister when the unaccountable menace is a shadowy cabal rather than a fat man in a suit, but there's no particular reason why it should.

So I was reading the Letters to the Editor in The Californian. It had an odd letter that included the phrase "congress so full of greed to fill their own pockets for the next" signed by John J Bury.
So I did a Google. Here it is again, in the Delaware County (Pennsylvania) Daily News, from John J Bury, Middletown:
http://www.delcotimes.com/opinion/20150109/letter-congress-has-shameful-legacy-on-vets
It is also in the Courier-Post in South Jersey. It is signed John J Bury, Media, Pennsylvania.
http://www.courierpostonline.com/story/opinion/readers/2015/01/08/letter-veterans-deserve-benefits/21466311/
It is also in something called The Daily Local News (also Pennsylvania). It is also in the Iron Mountain (Maine) The Daily News. It is also on North Jersey.com. The Intelligencer in Wheeling West (by God!) Virginia ran it.
Of course this just proves I have less of a life than John Bury does.

I think you're about to blow the lid off this John J Bury thing.

From the Dothan (Alabama) Eagle:
Monday, Jan. 19, is Alabama’s legal holiday to honor General Robert E. Lee.
This month, 150 years ago, Abraham Lincoln was still desperately trying to break through Lee’s defenses at Richmond to collect his 40 percent federal sales tax from Southerners, which subsidized the giant Wall Street industries who elected him.
In May 1864, Lincoln selected his 7th and final general, Ulysses S. Grant, who still owned four slaves.
Although Grant outnumbered Lee by 2 to 1 and used repeating rifles and long range cannon, he wasted his men in the Wilderness Campaign (May-June), losing 60,000 Federals to Lee’s 30,000 Confederates.
At the Battle of Cold Harbor, Grant lost 7,000 men in one hour, the fastest killing rate of the War, earning him the title “Butcher Grant” from Northerners. Grant could easily replace his killed and wounded but Lee could not.
Unable to win on the battlefield, Grant bombed, starved and stretched Lee’s “Thin Grey Line” for 10 more months (June 1864–March, 1865). Grant lost 45,000 more and Lee 25,000.
Lincoln had now caused the death of over 600,000 Americans -- more deaths than in all other U.S. wars combined -- yet Grant was at the very same place that Lincoln’s first general was three years earlier.
By April 1865, Grant outnumbered Lee 5 to 1 and finally broke through the Confederate line. Lee surrendered, telling his soldiers:
“After four years of arduous service marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, we have been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources.”

Wait, Dommy's real name is "Roger"? I figured him for something more Biblical.
That's not entirely true. In the military they taught us how to identify specific types of vehicles through sound. So a properly trained listener could most certainly identify how many engines a plane had simply by hearing it.

Liberal scare tactics over a disastrous climate change is a lot of bologna. It's phony propaganda.
We have had natural climate change for thousands of years. I offer two explanations -- physical and spiritual.
Physical scientists say that the ice melt at the North Pole will raise the ocean level, discounting the ice build-up at the South Pole. The ocean level has not changed more than a quarter of an inch, plus or minus, in 200 years.
The spiritual reason is that God will not permit carbon pollution. Jesus Christ will live on earth for the millennium period after the Second Coming. The atmosphere will surely be clean, don't you agree?
If he can speak to create the heavens and earth, surely he only needs to whisper to remove carbon pollution.

When my sister and I were children in the 1950s our parents chose to expose us to childhood diseases by taking us to visit other children who had the diseases. They reasoned that childhood diseases should be experienced naturally in childhood — not as adults when complications could be serious.
Though we did not look forward to these contagious visits nor contracting the diseases, neither of us (nor did our young relatives or friends) wound up with paralysis, brain damage, autism or other side effects. Nor did we die. We did, however, have to be vaccinated before entering public schools even though we had already had the diseases. It was a Mississippi law.
Mississippi now ranks first in both infant vaccination rates and in infant deaths. GET A CLUE!

Is it just me or are there others like me who think this country is going nuts? I am referring to the current trend in America where famous people are touting their sexual preferences in scandal sheet publications and fan magazines as though it were something to be proud of. Homosexuality, bisexuality, tri-sexuality (men, women, children or animals), quad-sexuality (meaning anything you can catch), transgender, transvestite, whatever, what is going on?
Is it just me? Just once, I’d like to see someone famous to step up to the plate and proclaim they are proud of being heterosexual.
It seems as though if you are heterosexual, you should be in the closet because you’re not in vogue with the current trend.
I might not be in vogue with the major stars (Brad Pitt is now touting the fact that he is bisexual), however, I prefer to be in vogue with the two people who count: me and the Almighty.
Maybe we heterosexuals should hold pride rallies and parades to show our upcoming generations that it is no sin to be heterosexual.
I don’t know how others feel, but I’d like to find out.
