    it has begun.

    the war with the machines is on. they are no longer satisfied with just taking our jobs, now they are beginning to eliminate us. the artificial intellingence thinks it is smarter than us. it may be right. this is why i unplug all my machines at night before i go to sleep. except for the fridge, i hate warm beer in the morning.

    Oregon marijuana fans look to cash in on new law | Jamestown Sun

    “Cannabis is a great opportunity for us," said D.J. King, a labor organizer with the United Food and Commercial Workers who wants to unionize workers at marijuana grow operations, distributors and retailers.

    “There is a lot of money being made, and we want to be sure to spread it out,” she said.
    and in predictable left coast fashion, if someone is making money, there are plenty of folks who know best how to share it with everybody and will redistribute it for you.

    i think they prefer the term socialists, which can include vegans, hillbilly timber folk, metrosexuals, and old-rashioned hippies, and usually consist of driving toyota prius's and naming their children sunstar or meadow.

    Well, if Wiki is to be believed, conservatives outweigh libs, even in OreGONE, and hardcore conservatives even outweigh hardcore liberals there as well. Since 1988, somehow the blue voters have outshouted the red voters, it seems. 1988 was the year of the big shift in elections dominance for some reason.

    Another study on the state's political ideology noted that the state's conservatives were the most conservative of any state (more so than Utah or Tennessee) and that the state's liberals were more liberal than any state (more so than Vermont or D.C.).[21]

    what you have to keep in mind is that a 'moderate' in oregon is actually a flaming liberal compared any other state. and an oregon 'liberal' is actually a militant progressive. it's all relative. either way, they got the conservatives outnumbered 2-1.

    point being, the conservatives that remain, are some of the hardest-core conservatives there are. And they very do much mind being lumped in with socialists, much less communists. to each their own. west-siders live in a different world than east-siders do. geographically, economically and politically.

    Speaking of Screwy News! I would take an additional 200 years or so, but wouldn't that mean we can't have children?

    you can have all the kids you want, as long as you support them. unfortunately, your pension and social security will have to go though, because society just cannot swing the payments for folks who retire at 60 and live to 260, see greece.
