I've been in, around, thru, stayed there, visited relatives, etc, but the one time I will never forget is the first time I drove thru Texas with two little ones (probably about 40 years ago), we stopped in Amarillo area for a restaurant stop. After the waitress took our orders, my youngest boy said, "Dad, she sure talks funny."

Service

I became confused when I heard the word service" used with these agencies.

Internal Revenue 'Service'
U.S. Postal 'Service'
Telephone 'Service'
Cable TV 'Service'
Civil 'Service'
State, City, County & Public 'Service'
Customer 'Service'

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'service' a few cows. BAM!!! It all came into focus.

****************************************
In the early 1960's the United States sent a champion herd bull to Vietnam to help improve their cattle herds. The bull didn't breed any of the Vietnamese cattle so they sent a farmer from Iowa over to find out what the problem was. After spending time with the bull which at a distance looked like a conversation the farmer told the Federal Agriculture experts what the problem was. The farmer said the bull thought he was just sent over as an advisor.

One thing no one has seemed to mention is the highways. That's where a lot of tax goes when purchasing gasoline. Well, all electric cars, no money to fix roads. So guess what the cost of electricity will to do. Probably out weight the cost of gasoline and repairs associated with it. And probably a lot of quiet cars running into each for lack of not hearing them. I've came might close to hitting one once because it made as much noise as bicycle – none.

A friend of mine and I hitch-hiked to San Jose to attend a Ray Charles Concert c. 1963. I think we two were the only white people there. The problem was going to the restroom. It was so full of smoke you could hardly see yer way around in there. Plus everyone had a flask.

That all talks about millionaires. What about the ones earning or retired with way under 100K. What's their rate?

(emphasis added)

Joe Biden disparaged governors who are opening their economies by calling them "Neanderthals."

It is so nice that he is seeking unity instead of dividing us.

To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, you might be a Neanderthal if:

You believe the masks are the solution even though states and countries without the mask mandate did as well or better than the ones who had the mandate.

You believe that masks and other tyrannical mitigation rules stopped the seasonal flu this year when states and countries without the mask mandate and strict lockdowns also did not have much seasonal flu this year. (there is no correlation)

You still believe that the virus easily spreads off surfaces.

You still believe that millions of people without symptoms are actively spreading the virus.

You continue to keep schools closed while you bend over for your special interest groups.

You keep destroying small businesses while you allow yourself to be controlled by social media billionaires and while you allow large corporations to remain open.

You say that walls don't work while the White House and Capitol remain walled off.

You say that walls don't work while you watch human smugglers drive SUVs through holes in the un-upgraded border fence and kill their young passengers.

You tell citizens they can't travel and must quarantine while you let illegal aliens roam the country free with the virus.

You called governors who forced nursing homes to take in sick people to kill the vulnerable elderly "the gold standard" while chastising governors who dared give their residents freedom to stay open and not wear masks who had better results.

You might be a Neanderthal (or their sheep) if you believe and follow everything Dr. Anthony Fauci, the United Nations WHO, or the CDC say, despite all the things they have intentionally or unintentionally gotten wrong.

Finally, you might be a Neanderthal and puppet for special interest groups if you believe that oil and coal consumption is destroying the planet as well as control temperatures, sea levels, and temperature despite zero scientific data that show that that is true. Why would we want to get rid of a product that has improved the quality and length of life for almost everyone who has used it when crude oil is used in thousands of products? Do we want to regress to when life expectancy was 40? Maybe someone should ask Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and John Kerry what they would replace rubber tires with. Maybe Jen Psaki could circle back with that answer.

Thankfully we have many governors with spines and brains who understand that we have always lived with viruses and that we need to open to reduce depression, suicide, and economic collapse. It is a shame that the Democrat governors are Neanderthals who are anxiously awaiting their huge kickbacks from the taxpayers for intentionally destroying their economies.

Thank goodness we have Republicans who understand that the best way to stimulate the economy and give people of all income levels, all races, and all education levels the chance to move up the economic ladder and out of poverty and depression is opening up, capitalism and economic freedom. The Neanderthals who control Congress, the White House, and the high tax blue states believe that the way to stimulate is a massive pork bill, socialist policies, a few handouts, and continued lockdowns. They strive for making more people dependent on the government because that is how they hold on to power, which is their main goal.

If America wants to become weaker and more dependent on China, Russia, Iran, and Russia we should just follow the real Neanderthal in the White House's recipe for collapse.

Open borders, massive regulations, higher taxes, destroying the private health insurance industry, destroying for-profit schools, keeping schools closed, major restrictions on small companies while large companies are exempt, destruction of the oil and coal industries, a high minimum wage to destroy small businesses, etc. These policies will all contribute to the massive and quick destruction of the private sector but the Neanderthals in power will do great and that is all they truly care about.

We could stop this intentional destruction if we had more independent thinkers in the media instead of Neanderthals repeating the talking points and cheering on the Neanderthals in power.

Should a president who appears to be incapable of conducting an independent news conference, or reading a State of the Union Speech, while being a figurehead who signs executive orders radical leftists prepare for him, call governors who have independent policies "Neanderthals"? Yesterday, Biden appeared to be ready to take questions, in a very controlled environment, and his puppet masters at the White House abruptly cut off the feed? It appears they thought they couldn’t afford Biden going off-script.

Maybe Biden and the other Neanderthals should read the 10th Amendment:

The Tenth Amendment's simple language—“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”

It should also be noted that we have had fewer cases of COVID in the last year than in the six months of the 2019-2020 seasonal flu despite testing people with no symptoms and despite not having free testing sights and contract tracers throughout the country. The cases averaged over 200,000 per day and we had no lockdowns nor masks, nor social distancing. We did not have headlines every day to scare the public nor did we have reports of hospital usage. In other words, we lived through it as we always have.

The headlines should read: The economy, individuals, children, businesses are being destroyed by tyrannical politicians and bureaucrats who quest for ever greater power. The virus is the excuse they are using to confiscate and keep this power.

Do you remember what you signed up to lo these many years ago? Are our youth doing the same as then, and following the Scout Law and Scout Oath?
It seems that many are not, and they should be brought to the task of heeding the Scout ideals and principles as soon as possible.
So here is the Law and the Oath just for memories:

The SCOUT LAW
A Scout is:

TRUSTWORTHY. A Scout tells the truth. He keeps his promises. Honesty is part of his code of conduct. People can depend on him.

LOYAL. A Scout is true to his family, Scout leaders, friends, school, and nation.

HELPFUL. A Scout is concerned about other people. He does things willingly for others without pay or reward.

FRIENDLY. A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He seeks to understand others. He respects those with ideas and customs other than his own.

COURTEOUS. A Scout is polite to everyone regardless of age or position. He knows good manners make it easier for people to get along together.

KIND. A Scout understands there is strength in being gentle. He treats others as he wants to be treated. He does not hurt or kill harmless things without reason.

OBEDIENT. A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If he thinks these rules and laws are unfair, he tries to have them changed in an orderly manner rather than disobey them.

CHEERFUL. A Scout looks for the bright side of things. He cheerfully does tasks that come his way. He tries to make others happy.

THRIFTY. A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. He saves for unforeseen needs. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses time and property.

BRAVE. A Scout can face danger even if he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at or threaten him.

CLEAN. A Scout keeps his body and mind fit and clean. He goes around with those who believe in living by these same ideals. He helps keep his home and community clean.

REVERENT. A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others.

SCOUT OATH
"On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight."

Have we lost these principles in the rush to make a living, to socialize, to have fun vacations, and to receive largess from the government?
Do you remember what you signed up to lo these man... (show quote)

Two things:
Unofficially, after the law Reverent is Hungry.
The Oath as I remember it. "...keep myself physically fit, mentally...." Maybe it changed?

I received my first merit badge 6/55 and made Eagle Scout 4/58. Still have all my cards (that's how I found those dates), sash w/patches, other badges and neckerchief.

F+ from me,especially when it comes to immigration!

I have ignored him. At least I try not to hear anything he has to say. I'll here news reports of something huge whether I want to here about him or not. So have to pass on this one. But from I hear, you maybe a notch high.
And leave Trump the #$^%7 alone.

That amendment or anything else doesn't make me want to go buy a fire arm for any reason. That amendment does ring a bell, but you can't unring it. I did have a gun at one time as a teenager in the 50s. It was an over & under .410/.22 for pheasants (with a license) and rabbits.
