Yes, Yommot31, it could indeed be that simple.

- Couldn't listen to Matt Jones any longer. It wasn't doing it for me.
- Good news is what I need.
- How you feelin?
Not sure what the answer is to the racial unrest, but I know killing policemen and rioting isn't the answer. Where are people like MLK, JFK and Robert Kennedy at in today's world?
Did we kill them off like their ideas about equality in this country has been? People find a way to live off the system without working and self pride is destroyed and the entitlement and victim person is reproduced in mass. Fear of being persecuted because of your skin color in some cases are part of your environment. Being a policeman in those areas would put them on edge. Programming to fail at its very best, in my mind.
Law enforcement in this country is a must, law and order in this country is a must. Change that comes from violence is not the kind we need because it takes more violence to sustain it.
Rant over, thanks.
Bert, you're getting what the media spoon feeds John Q. Public. You will NEVER get an interview of a guy like me, because I don't fit the narrative. And we black folk are like the other folk in America. It's pretty easy to rail at the police until you need them. THEN, you want them with the quickness.I don't recall being depressed for more than a couple days at a time when something catastrophic happens to my family. However, being a Vietnam era guy national headlines really make a difference. I remember the National trauma of the death of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. It got rough in 1968.
The NCAA and Black Lives Matter are inciting riots. That used to be illegal. The NCAA wants police forces to lose funding. Black Lives Matter is simply a bunch of anarchists. Apparently they want 1968 all over again and the bastards apparently have short memories because 1968 sucked.
The attacks on police in the US, initiated by Obama, are dangerous as hell. Do black people understand they need police? Why would they want civil discourse stopped?
isn't "government" and "common sense" painfull and I need an oxycodone my head hurts?
Where is Ross Perot when you need him.
Looking back the past 30 years
Walter Mondale , bob dole , al gore, mitt Romney , McCain. Perot All seem mild compared to these two running

Fixed it for ya
I like Ghost a lot.Hell Ghost I did not know you were black. It does not matter, but I never picked that up. My best friend is a black man who happens to be 6'8". I think he keeps me as a friend so he can lord over me.
But he is like you Ghost, just normal folks, well in fact he is not normal folks he is a lot better than normal folks. But he and I remember how bad it got in 1968. A bunch of my friends were in the Guard and got called up for riot duty. A couple of them got hurt and I am confident that they handed out some pain also. We need unity not divisive crap. "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" and "what do we want? dead cops. when do we want them? Now." in my book is anarchy.

I'm not saying I've been everywhere and I've seen everything, but this is a pretty amazing planet we live on and a man would be a damned fool to think we're alone in this universe. "Have you paid your dues"? 'Yessir, the check is in the mail"!Science Break:
The deepest and most comprehensive view ever of the Orion Nebula is seen in this composite image from the ESO very large array telescope in Chili. It uncovered 10 times more planet-mass objects and nearly planet-mass failed stars called brown dwarfs than ever seen before.

The Orion Nebula is a gigantic star-forming region located about 1,350 light-years from us. As its clouds of gas collapse to form stars, the new stars' ultraviolet radiation ionizes the surrounding and causes the nebula to glow. It visible from Earth with the naked eye, and offers a spectacular sight when viewed through a telescope.

It's all in the reflexes.Jack Burton ...full of wisdom
"Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."It's all in the reflexes.
