Truth is. To be determined.

War is built into the human gean. Has been since Kane killed Able. Cavemen raided other cavemen on the other side of the hill. I will fight anyone that wants to do me harm. So be careful champ.

straightUp Loc: California

yup, pretty much.


It depends on how you look at it. Back in the agrarian age power was held mostly by the aristocracy per their land titles with the "royal" family owning the top level title ie... "England". A monarchy is the ultimate "private property" title. When an entire country is your private property, you can call yourself a king. There are very few monarchies that retain that kind of power today... Saudi Arabia being one of them. So from this perspective, you can certainly say the monarchy in England is not what it used to be. (Thank God).

Thing is... we live in a different age now where most of the power is held by capitalists per their investments. So from this perspective, any of the aristocratic families that managed to convert their power to investment holdings are still in the game and that goes for the House of Windsor, who happen to be very powerful capitalists. This form of power is not as overt as the pomp of aristocracy. Capitalism is more fluid and obscure. But for the benefit of tradition, that pomp has been preserved symbolically in the monarchy. The Queen is the symbolic head of state, not just for England but all of Britain, Canada, Australia and many other former land titles.

It's really not such a bad deal for any of these countries, the queen can handle all the ceremonies etc, expected from a head of state so the prime ministers can focus on on the work of government. In the U.S. the president is expected to do both. It's more expensive for Americans too because unlike the UK, where the royal family owns (and covers the expenses for) all their facilities, including Buckingham palace, American tax-payers have to cover the presidential expenses of the White House, Airforce One, and a $400K salary on top of that.


Yeah, that's cool... We're good.

Can you still actually stand up on a board?
Your local beach?

My home beach was 2'nd St Hermosa Beach, Cal, and the Portugese Bend Club, Palos Verdes.

straightUp Loc: California

Not so much a shortboard anymore... my thrust-to-weight ratio kinda went downhill - lol. I can still do a longboard though.

My home beach was Ave I in Redondo... but I got around. Portuguese Bend or White's Point if I wanted to catch those southern swells.

I've been in Philadelphia for the past 18 months working on a project. So no ski slopes or waves for me. How long has it been for you?

eagleye13 Loc: Fl

I stopped surfing in 1968 when I went to college at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Cold Water, and no wet suit.

I lived in Hollywood Riviera up to the 6'th grade.
Surfed Torrance beach a bit.

MR Mister Loc: Washington DC

The Royal family suck up millions of pounds sterling each year. The people of England get next to nothing from them but a wave as they go by in there Rolls.

straightUp Loc: California

LOL - you obviously don't understand the situation...

Yes, the Royal Family makes a lot of money... through their own investments. They are capitalists after all. The ONLY thing the "people of England" pay for is their security.

So if anyone is getting ripped off, it's the Americans who have a First Family... Not only do we Americans pay for their security but we also pay for their residence, their planes and helicopters, we even pay the president a hefty salary. The people of England don't pay for ANY of that.

But you go ahead and make your little jokes about other people getting screwed as you get your ass pounded, if that makes you feel any better. ;)

straightUp Loc: California

Yeah, that Alaska current doesn't warm up until you get south of Malibu, especially in the winter when the waves are best. I always had a springsuit for that, never got into the full length wetsuits. I stopped surfing in 1984 when I moved inland. But years later my wife and I bought a house in San Marcos and my kids were old enough to learn, so I started again.


Dang dude! I wonder if we ever ran into each other. I'm apparently a few years younger than you but I lived in Hollywood Riviera too and of course I surfed Torrance Beach... (Avenue "I" is on the north end). That's where I did the Jr. Lifeguard thing... when the movie Jaws came out, I remember having to swim out to the buoy the morning after I saw the movie. I never swam so fast. LOL

eagleye13 Loc: Fl

Jaws was a good comedy!!! LOL. I never stop laughing watching the shark cruise the harbor on the surface with the girl in his mouth. AND; and she even grabs the buoy!. LOL!!!

BTW;
I Lived on Vista Del Parque (view of the park) up to the sixth grade (1959) . Moved to Gardena.
I went to the Christian grammar school across the park on PCH. All apartments now.
