What is "Sector E38?"

Sounds interesting --- and sometimes a "fictional work" is more accurate than just telling it like it is. Like a Jesus Parable, it makes you think outside the box given by the media to stupid people who follow the leaders, right or wrong. with complete trust.

BT---you and I are both Baptist and I assume you are familiar with the political activities when the Conservatives took if over with the mantra: "The end justifies the means to it." Perhaps you are aware of a situation where the pastor of any local church was dismissed. Most people assume some kind of moral failure had to be involved.

This is but a snapshot of politics these days. We have moved from "simple differences of opinion" to "all Muslims are going to hell and the President is a Muslim." That has been uttered non-stop as the Pope visits America. Mike Huckabee was a member of the Conservative Resurgence few individuals involved at the core.

His name is among the dozen or so who met in airports to plan and scheme. He became the President of the Southern Baptist Convention as further proof of the "rewards of conservatism." Each of the megachurch pastors has been appointed to head a Board or Agency as their buddies ruled from the President appointing a Committee on Committees to the point actual individuals become a Chairman or Board President.

The problem many have is failure to admit to rule by "Oligarchy" --- the opposite of a real Democracy.

Unfortunately, I am finding the means to educate myself on removal of my Bobcat rear lift piston seal which busted on the machine I am trying now to sell. A $42,000 new machine cost is easily outweighed to simply repair the cylinder spurting fluid.

If you would help me by using your superior analysis skills on social group management, it would probably not have oil and grease covering your keypad as mine will be today. Like my repair issue which shut down the mighty machine yesterday and has it parked beside a street in Bath, I am trying to tell Stan ---

There is a vast difference between "we shall agree to disagree" and "you are dishonest." One is the American right of free speech. The second is the way of the Nazi which was "agree and obey or I KEEEL EWE!"

I did NOT say he did, Bubbles! His false assumption is that all Moslem immigrants are hidden terrorists. Most of them are simply escaping the horrors of the Fundamentalists of the Middle East who are Moslem . . . Then they find they are hated by white Christians in America like Donald Trump . . . DUH!!!

I was not a resident at the time, but Jim Martin was PROGRESSIVE in general terms.

What has happened with the last 10 years of Republican rise to their majority --- REGRESSION, in my view . . .

Stan is now bordering on Dictator over Publisher. He has been omitting a comment section on my recent posts as proof of the pudding!

To "agree to disagree" is honorable / to stop comments which do not worship his type of Conservatism (Tea Party) is dictatorial.

If Stan and others will kindly read my description of the takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention --- his kind of conservatives have destroyed a great democratic ministry tool which is now falling apart rapidly . . .

Stan---you wasted time on a problem since the 1980's / money doing nothing but studies with no result. I have been to at least 3 Commission meetings over taxes on property appraised 30% above any sale in the last 5 years!

Stan---I have talked with many local citizens and law enforcement officers who totally disagree with the attitude and lack of action by your Commission time! I have been to the meeting in recent years to observe the antics of conservatism brought to a good county from the mania of national politics . . .

Come up with some better excuses for the lack of action when money was paid in outlandish property taxes you would not adjust and money collected you DID NOT SPEND to protect our prisoners---many simply being held until trial and "innocent until proven guilty."

When you show me your real credentials and an ability to see all sides of any issue and then, with logic, defend your position, I will listen. Until then, my brother, you are a Tea Party Conservative in my view---without ability to "know thyself."

The purpose of good education is exposure to all sides of a given issue. To assume "America right or wrong" demeans the process of analysis. To assume a student of college age and merit is simply a sponge is the beginning of STUPID, in my view.

My concern is the Barbarian element I see in you. Eat / Kill / Conquer over Share / Forgive / Cooperate. You and Hood pretty well kept Beaufort County in the national mode rather than the get along mode of NC in general . . .

This article has gone over 3,000 views. I hope this means all are praying and believing in a miracle for Jimmy Moore. I am asking all I meet in Beaufort County if they are aware of his need. The man today said, "He is a good man!! The best I have known."

A Southern Conservative would have his eyes opened at Emory --- now, Stan, your only hope is an Emory-trained eye-ear-and-nose surgeon. Brain surgery is out of the question---unless you can shoe me the CAT SCAN that proves you have a brain rather than a Conservative Rock Substitute. . .

I am disappointed when anyone declares WAR a "thing we must do as humans." I agree that we have a sordid record of killing and greed as MANKIND. The White Men of the planet seem to have some kind of "delusions of grandeur" complex thinking we can rule the South and expect anyone with darker skin to bow to us and do the dirty work.

Kennedy negotiated Peace with Russia over Nuclear Testing in the Atmosphere. He wanted to keep us out of Vietnam and other Far Eastern clandestine activity. He appeared to have little to no relationship to Big Oil which thrives on war and low prices paid to the owners of the desert sands. Just now we are seeking a renewed relationship to Cuba.

The Conservative Reagan-god committed billions of our dollars on Star Wars technology that really did not produce reliable defense weapons. We out-spent Russia to the point their economy went belly up. Now we don't know who has been sold their nuclear play-toys alongside US play-toys in abundance . . .

I say: "We never find progress through war except in more technology to kill more people in the future. We have the power of the sun in our human hands---just as those who built the Tower of Babel to figure God out. Could that tower have been an ancient memory of a rocket which blew mankind back down deep in caves and radiated animals into becoming "Thunder Lizards"????

History always repeats itself. Do we learn to live more kindly and respectfully ever?????

Go to Jesus' way of turning the other cheek and returning good for evil . . . DO YOU DARE TO TAKE THE CHANCE TO LOVE YOUR ENEMY????
