You sound quite reasonably peeved. Your expectations are in no way out
of line.
At the same time, I've known Dartos through his posting history here
for almost 10 years. There is not a chance in hell that you'd be
treated by him in the way you were treated in your recent dental
experience. By the same token, all of us (Dartos and I are near
contemporaries--we've both been doing this 30 years or more) have had
patients who just suck the life forces out of us. You may take comfort
that, just as there are patients who hate nothing more than the dental
experince, there are patients whose presence on the appointment provoke
instant diarrhea in the dental staff.
This is a great big world--there are good and bad people everywhere.
Try and find the good ones.

Nope, they are all bad.

All I know after watching Everyday Foods on PBS with and without
Martha. After she appeared on the show last season after John (the
baker) left the show to open his own bakery, the show seems to have
gone down hill. I do enjoy her on her own program on Channel 4 shown
in the affternoon weekdays here in the Los Angeles area, when I get
the chance to see the program. Martha would be best to just leave the
Everyday Foods program alone without her help.

Sure.

Nope, not even if we see another great depression and I dont believe that will happen either.

The cost of the bailout is less than has been pissed against the wall in Iraq, perfectly affordable.

Not a patch on what was spent on WW2, the Marshall Plan and the
Cold War and Vietnam and the US clearly could afford all that fine.

Even if we do see another great depression, the effects on
someone like you wont be anything like the great depression was.

The most that might happen is stagnation like Japan saw for a decade recently when their
financial system imploded even more spectacularly than the US financial system may do.

What we'll actually see is a bailout very similar to the S&L fiasco
and few can even remember any significant downsides with that now.

I agree with that - the pissing away of funds in Iraq.

I remember some of my life after WW2 - wasn;t bad at all. My parents were
not living high - but living comfortably - so of course I was as well.

I wonder sometimes about people who consider my having only basic cable is a
sign of being 'poor'. As much as my physical condition allows - I am very
self sufficient - and would continue to be so. But would like to get
healthy enough to get some chickens.

Perhaps it's because of all the media crying 'wolf' that people seem to look
at the doom and gloom outlook.

Some time in October, eBay is disallowing the use of checks or money orders
for payment "to reduce fraud", forcing people to use PayPal, credit cards,
or local pickup. As checks or money orders are the only two payment methods
I'm willing to use, this will effectively eliminate my use of the site.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/23/ebay_payment_policy_change_us/

Oddly enough, I've seen very few reports of fraud via check/MO; all the
complaints I see are related to PayPal. Of course, this can't possibly have
anything to do with the little detail that eBay doesn't collect a fee from
checks or money orders. Certainly not.

Ah, yes; when I could fill up a 16 gallon tank for less than $4, and
A&W sold real root beer in frosty glass mugs. Good onion rings, too.

The United States has transformed itself, the most radical degraded aspects
having occurred in the last eight years.
Many might object or cringe at repeated mention of the Fascist Business
Model implemented by the Clinton Administration,
and carried to extreme by the Bush II Administration. It is a harsh
departure from Beacon of Freedom. Too bad, fact of life!
This merger of state and big business in the midst of a climax, the biggest
display of exported financial toxin in modern history,
and the disintegration of the financial structure for the nation owning the
world reserve currency. The Fascist Business Model
has criminal fraud & corruption as its chief characteristic, alienation &
resentment as its chief foreign effect, and systemic failure
& collapse as its chief outcome. Broad war often follows. How anybody could
think the sharing of bank and oil executives
with federal government leadership as a move toward progress on the
evolution chart, that is moronic. Surely, it is about political
power and corruption. The military budget is sacred, and private contractor
deals are made without bids. Now five to six energy
giants will hog all Iraqi oil service contracts. The terrorism topic is
untouchable for dispute. A Coup d'Etat is in progress as the
Wall Street conmen and fraud kings have taken implicit control of the
USGovt. This will be recognized in time, even while
resistance is evident. To me the ongoing drama smacks of a comedy of
corruption. US citizens are in shock & awe, while
foreigners are aghast in disgust.

First, don't complain to me. Go find the people that voted for
Mr. Bush and kept him in office even after we had 4 years of his
stuff.

Second, posting now is a little late. Where were you when we
had our first clue when Bush Sr. let slip the "new world order"
that he was establishing.

Third, none of this should come as any kind of surprise if you
had read and understood the book. Not the bible, but the book
that is the manual for how to be a good conservative. That is
a book called the light and the glory. Read it, and everything
will suddenly make sense to you.
