T&C Posted March 6, 2023 Author Posted March 6, 2023 This is random for sure. Probably 35 years ago I bought a Holland signed official document at an estate sale. It is framed and measures around 20" tall and 15" wide and has to do with the citrus growers association of Florida at that time. Also signed by the deputy of the state or whatever it was called back then. Paid $5.00 for it... it was somehow in a magazine rack full of old magazines, just kind of stuck in the middle. Official state seal, etc. Have been considering putting it up for auction. Given that he was governor for such a short time I wonder how many signed documents are still out there. Anyways, he's made the news again... and this lady sobbing made me laugh a bit... so dramatic, and anyone with a computer/chromebook/etc. can now be considered a "researcher". https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2023/03/05/lakeland-mom-says-school-in-in-her-community-is-named-after-a-former-racist-florida-politician

BillsFanNC Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Remember how @ChiGoose told us the J6 committee was only about a dogged pursuit of the truth? I wouldn't go with bless his/her/their heart, but rather he/she/they are ***** delusional. 2

Orlando Buffalo Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 I had to go to a training about mental wellness yesterday and it amazes me how people would brag about their mental issues. Several people, including the presenter, proudly stated that they took "mental health days" several times a quarter and that if it left their coworkers in a lurch, then so be it. I feel bad I missed a day for this training which was mandatory and I told them 3 weeks ago. I don't think people should be shamed for working on mental health but celebrating it is absurd. 1

I can agree with this. I feel that a lot of people try their problems, legitimate or otherwise, their personality.
T&C Posted March 8, 2023 Author Posted March 8, 2023 The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. ~Noam Chomsky
