I dont think humans are progressing at all. They have been accumulating on technology thats about it.
the way we think are still as barbaric , selfish , dishonest as we were thousands of years ago.
We take pride and comfort looking at what we accomplished , i find that funny.
Because once you strip all those away , we are still just like those monkeys.
Hey, if you eat too many apples, you'll get the runs. That should keep the greedy bastards away.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
I tell you what keeps a small bit of my faith in humanity alive though. Rare steak and brandy. Damn you Society!

I weep because people think Al Gore is anything but a self serving less intelligent version of T Boone Pickens trying to make hundreds of millions off of global warming. I weep because the depression is not ending. I weep (not!) because grizzlies are moving into Polar Bear territory. Go Grizzlies! Go Grizzlies!
I weep because a Sig Sauer X-Five hasn't mysteriously appeared in my mail box. I weep because soon I will have to start teaching the boy how to drive, and don't know if I can take the constant heart attacks

Have you also been weeping that Sarah Palin resigned as governor of Alaska?
You're . . . kind of a stereotype. Or at least trying to perpetuate one, right?
Stereotypes are often correct. Liberal at 20 conservative at 40. Whats your freeking point?
No Palin's voice makes my spine want to curl into a fetal position.

I can totally imagine Fraz as a character in King of the Hill.

Propane's for wussies. Haven't you heard? Wind power, its the new gas!

The fact you think I drive a pickup is as interesting as it is incorrect.
You're from the North. Back when they still had gunracks in trucks here Damnyankee was one word. Saw many a yankee plate in the 80s. Seeing a bunch again as well as from Cali. You can pick them out-Cali drivers are the best drivers in traffic.
We've had wind power here since the mid 1800s. Its not exactly new technology. Texas is now the leader in wind generated electric power as well.

About the truck: I only guess because from the Texans I've met (and the one I'm currently dating), having a truck is like having a pair of jeans. You have to admit, however, you do push the red state rhetoric pretty hard and not in (shall we say) the most nuanced fashion.
As to being a Yankee: I reside here in the North (and have for a paltry three years) but I was born and raised, and am proud to say it, in the capital of the Confederacy.

My apologies Manchu! Although the fact you're in the North when its freeking 105 here makes me oh so jealous.
Where's the GF from?

Indeed. In reality :
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Thats the flashy car though. Here's the workaday vehicle:

She's from all over but most recently and for the longest stretch from Corpus Christi (although she's Irish, not Mexican). We met up here attending a staunchly conservative religious law school (we're both devout Catholics).

I spoke to his neighbours, apparently it's like this EVERY day.
