Gonzo Judaism, a new literary style. If anybody can figure out a way to make money from it a Jew can (that’s a complement by the way for those of you who recoil in horror at any racial or ethnic generalizations)

That’s not a Mcmansion. that’s not even close. I bet that thing isn’t even 3000 square feet of heated space. In commifornia with housing prices so high I think you equate paying half a million dollars for crap as buying a Mcmansion. Here in God’s country where “real” American’s live a house like that is $160,000. YOu ought to see a real Mcmansion. The kind in God’s country that go for $300,000. It’s no wonder that “real” Americans are moving back to God’s country and you and your double secret agents can have scumville.

My sister was moaning over the scenes of peoples personal possessions being trashed. I said forget it. They were all crap anyway, manufactured with Chineese slave labor. Put the kids in the van and get the hell out of Dodge with just the clothes and when you stop, buy new shit at Ikea or some such. It’ll be just like pioneer days. Rugged individualism and all that. Self reliant. Live off the land. Check the dumpsters behind KFC or Taco Bell. On your mettle.
Jesus saves and teaches.

Sam:

“Ok, tax the hell out of everybody (and the very rich would still be able to hide income), so now regular people have almost no money and live in tiny apartments with their parents. . . we’re basically Europe.”

Oh, this must be why Americans have less disposable income than Socializt Muslim Scandinavian Cuntries

I think that guy was saying he’s not an Objectivist. But my counter was that evangelic/Protestant Christianity is Objectivism, just in a different political discourse.

I am obviously much older than you or the other commenters. Victorville was once FAMOUS as home of the Roy Rogers Museum–which I visted and enjoyed back in the 90s. It deserves mention if you write again on Victorville. Roy, Dale Evans, Pat Butram and Trigger brightened my childhood. Roy was a great cowboy actor, a trick rider and professional singer with The Sons of the Pioneers group. When I read that the museum had moved, I knew Victorville was finished!

“As you can tell from my tagline, I am obviously a close follower of the ideas of Ayn Rand.

yours in Christ,
Isamu.”

Bloody hell, I wonder if you understand the term fallacy. Ayn Rand HATED religion. Any paragraph containing Christ, and tagging it to Rand, could cause the horrible hag to rise from the grave and put a cigarette out in your eye.

Before you weed out and say you take in only a few parts of Objectivism…. well, you bloody can’t. Period. The whole package is ideological, and can’t be dissected. This isn’t a bloody distortion of her philosophy. Here’s an exact quote from the pie hole of Ms. Rand:

“If you agree with some tenets of Objectivism, but disagree with others, do not call yourself an Objectivist; give proper authorship for the parts you agree with — and then indulge any flights of fancy you wish, on your own.”

I don’t disagree that we should limit our dependence on oil. I’m all for wind, solar, geothermal (planet’s largest geothermal site located just 75 miles north of San Fransisco)

America will still need oil no matter what. Everything from production of solar panels, fertilizers to delivery of food depends on oil. I just think we should drill what we have here to boost the state economy and in case the oil IMPORTS stop coming in from the other countries.

“Silicon Desert” Should build a solar panel factory out there as long as water supply supports manufacturing. Put panels up on roofs, or in a centralized power plants. Lots of sun = quick payoff. Jobs mixing up silicon and chemicals in a factory instead of Sudafed in a trailer bathtub.
