Thanks Sal!

Good article Kirk.
I'm with Sal on your sig, love it.

Kirk Ward · 09-12-2009, 05:46 PM

Your sig says you got nothing? You got my "Thanks."

Cheers

The US is, by every measure, BANKRUPT! It has been for a few decades. I say that because, prior to that, the US people and economy provided REAL assets that others just didn't provide, or didn't do as well. Does it NOW? I REALLY have to wonder. My three biggest interests used to be almost EXCLUSIVE to the US, in EVERY way. And what of NOW? Heck, does ANYONE is the US even make LCDs? How about LEDs? Computer memory? Computers? Even companies like Intel outsource SO much, can IT even be called American? The MPU(Microprocessor or the original term for a one chip CPU) was created because they figured it was the best way to satisfy a JAPANESE company that asked for a calculator chip! You heard right, the Japanese came HERE!

We don't even have a real currency. Our allies, the conspirators that helped the US maintain the value of the dollar, are weaker now, don't want to continue, and are talking about abandoning the dollar!

I'm with Thom and Sal on the sig, Kirk.

Ellijay is in the woods....but there's some pretty woods up that way.

Man, I hate to be a "me too" kind of guy but, me too! I love your sig.
And the post wasn't too bad either.

Well seeing how you posted about Pigeons and nobody has mentioned anything other than agreeing that our gov can't even properly execute whore-mongering, LOL.....I gotta say - those little birds are some sharp little critters. I heard decades ago that they were extinct, though - what was that all about.

I think the ones you are thinking of that went extinct may have been the "Passenger" pigeon.

Seems the Dodo was also a pigeon, but I don't think people think of it as a pigeon.

Side note here, seems that since the Dodo went extinct, there is a specific breed of tree, the Tambalacoque tree, that is going extinct because the Dodo is no longer around to crack the seeds in their gullet when they eat the fruit. Ah, dependency can be a real problem.

Thank goodness we found the turkey can replace the Dodo!

And, thanks for all the comments on the sig.

However, I'm really broken hearted that no one has ever noticed it in the main Warrior forum. Seems those folks aren't as observant as you folks here in the "Off Topic" forum are. Maybe I should hang out here more where my true skills are better appreciated. LOL

Cheers, and all that rot.
Kirk
