Oh the government sells Islam as harmless at all costs. And of course all shootings are rightwing since only a rightwinger has a firearm .

Unless they are a soldier with an AK 47, then he is a freedom fighter.

US soldiers are not issued AKs Obama has a skewed view of the world. Not questioning authority has freed up a lot of time for you .
WARNING
Eating government issue pablum is bad for your teeth and rots your brain .
You're kidding, right? Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Boko Haram, ISIS.. Muslim extremist this, Islamic extremist that... where the hell have you been the past decade? Living under a rock? You ever hear about that thing called "The Global War on Terrorism" that specifically targets Muslim nations?

The shootings are mostly committed by right wing nutjobs who target perceived left wing victims. What, is that some random coincidence?

Stuart Chase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stuart Chase (March 8, 1888 – November 16, 1985) was an American economist (MIT),[1] social theorist and writer.[2] His writings covered topics as diverse as general semantics and physical economy. Chase's thought was shaped by Henry George, economic philosopher Thorstein Veblen, Fabian socialism, as well as the Communist social and educational experiments being conducted in the Soviet Union around 1930.;[3][4] Chase spent his early political career supporting "a wide range of reform causes: the single tax, women's suffrage, birth controland socialism." [3] Chase's early books The Tragedy of Waste (1925) and Your Money's Worth (1 9 2 8 were notable for their criticism of corporate advertising and their advocacy of consumer protection.[5]

Read through the book and see for yourself. It's pretty ironic you're accusing me of that yet glorifying Chase's work... You know he was very much a part of the US government, right?

Free Enterprise into 'X'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Chase

On pages 95 and 96 of The Road We Are Traveling, under the heading of "Free Enterprise into 'X'",[12] Chase listed 18 characteristics of political economy that he had observed among[13] Russia, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain between 1913[14] and 1942. Chase labeled this phenomenon "... something called 'X'".[12] Characteristics include the following:

  1. A strong, centralized government.
  2. An executive arm growing at the expense of the legislative and judicial arms.
  3. The control of banking, credit and security exchanges by the government.
  4. The underwriting of employment by the government, either through armaments or public works.
  5. The underwriting of social security by the government – old-age pensions, mothers' pensions, unemployment insurance, and the like.
  6. The underwriting of food, housing, and medical care, by the government.
  7. The use of deficit spending to finance these underwritings.
  8. The abandonment of gold in favor of managed currencies.
  9. The control of foreign trade by the government.
  10. The control of natural resources.
  11. The control of energy sources.
  12. The control of transportation.
  13. The control of agricultural production.
  14. The control of labor organizations.
  15. The enlistment of young men and women in youth corps devoted to health, discipline,community service and ideologies consistent with those of the authorities.
  16. Heavy taxation, with special emphasis on the estates and incomes of the rich.
  17. Control of industry without ownership.
  18. State control of communications and propaganda.
Sounds like home .
Sounds like your home maybe. Strictly speaking, your list is not anything that I'd recognize as being the US. Gold bug crank that you are.

I dont glorify Chases work, Im just aware of it .He was a Fabian socialist .And Now we have Bernie Sanders an out socialist .No daylight between them .
Sanders is a democratic socialist, which seems to be the most reasonable political position to take considering the comparison between Scandinavian economies and ours

The list is from a book, a book you haven't read. A book about the future,written in the past by a policy maker about where society was going .If you cant recognize any of that as being the USA today ., I suggest you "put down the bong"

So you dig up a book from some old dead white guy. An economist from the past. You post a list. The list doesn't make sense in the context of the US, which you claim it does. Then say the list can't make sense to me unless I read the book. Umm well its a list, it should stand on its own. You post this on a pot forum and tell the reader to put down the bong. Who is high here? Cranky crank crank

So basically, Orwell was too honest for you.

So much ocean, so little time. I've always been very much a niche diver, preferring to spend my time camping and diving along the PNW coast. The only other places I've been are Baja and Florida Keys. Nothing like what you are talking about though. The cold water marine ecosystem in the PNW is loaded with life, more so than the clear and warm waters that most prefer. It requires a different mindset to enjoy though. I'm not knocking destination resort diving though. If my wife could dive -- she can't clear her ears well enough to dive comfortably or safely -- then I'd definitely go with her. As it is, we do trips together that don't include diving. White water rafting is another passion of mine and we've done many trips together over the years. So, like I said, I just don't have the time to sea it all.
I have been to various places, not only tropical. I have also been diving in Baja and in Central America on the Pacific side where it is colder due to the Humboldt current. I have also been diving in the Azores. After a few days in Dominican Republic again, but my first time in Bayahibe, I love it. My dive school is also working on a coral nursery.

Nice...I've heard really good things about the Azores and I'll look up the Bayahibe. It will make me jelly though. Maybe I shouldn't.

Pictures or it didn't happen.
