  2. Born and raised in Idaho... lucky for myself, half our extended family were Mormon the other half other largely Catholic, but a quarter other like Baptist. My mom was inactive Mormon and my dad inactive Baptist. And part of extended family on my dad's side was largely catholic. We would have weddings and funerals at various churches... and I often attended all of them at some point... I knew a little Latin and Catholic custom, which is also essentially the same in the Lutheran or Anglican churches... and went to Mormon church Sunday school on occasion and was baptized in it, but fell away from it shortly after... was only 10 years old. Most of our extend family and my own family; everyone didn't care what others in the family believed. I loved the coffee pot in all the other churches, always smelled good. Mormon church always felt kind of like a school (the big gym that's in generally all Mormon churches), or on Sundays a dental clinic or something. Never got involved deeply in any of them though. Just would attend for various functions. I've heard horror stories for deeply catholic or Mormon or any of the various ones; deeply in that their entire family and friends are all part of that church. To each their own. I was fortunate to have family of mixed Christian churches and we all got along. And got to learn about all of them. And found them all... mean well... but I don't believe any of it anymore than I believe the IIiad and the Odyssey. My problem is being sensitive to friends who are still devout Catholic or Mormon. I try not to make bad comments about the cracker for the Catholics, or the weird obsessive hot beverage is bad (really it's caffeine) but many conflate it to all hot beverages... which is weird. I need my coffee and tea and other teas... don't drink that often, but a very occasional alcoholic drink can be nice. Where I completely went agnostic/atheist was in the military where I had no choice on somedays but to attend religious service and/or read religious text only for recreation. So I read the bible completely thru for the first time as an adult... and found it stark raving mad.

  3. While I do eat bread... I generally eat more soft tortillas more... don't ruin it form dude. LOL! I love making the quick quesadilla. Faster than grilled cheese sandwich. Just pop some cheese between two tortillas. Maybe some baby spinach. Talking about a quick thing. We unfortunately don't pop to the grocery store everyday. Because of the oligarchy. Our stores require a car to drive and pick stuff up. And we work 12 hour days 3 days on and 3 days off 4 days on and 4 days off type... or some baked in overtime schedule... and if we're only working 40 hour full time, we're going to school or some other activity. We need big changes to live like Europeans do today. I'm game for starting with a universal healthcare system. Modeled of the NHS is the best... Germany's is okay. But NHS is better, cuts the costs down significantly and ensures all healthcare workers from the surgeon on down to the licensed nurses, not the registered nurse, but even the licensed nures, the ones who have to lift patients and wipe them... the gritty work. Even they get a sizeable pay. While the prices still are affordable, because only reason prices in the states are so insane... no regulations that cap margins at say 6%... instead they have ulimited margins. And inelastistic demand curve you find in monopolies you find in healthcare... no matter the quantity supplied the price can remain and does remain high... so the thought of allowing prices run-a-muck will bring in more supply that will lower prices... well that ain't happening now ain't it LOL! Fact of the matter, inelastic demand curve items like police protection, fire protection, education, healthcare, water, sewer, etc. many of them being natural monopolies... even a regional hospital can only function as a monopoly because most of the time you're not having tons of people needing hospital services; hospitals are there for emergencies or planned surgeries. So first, let's start with universal healthcare. Then we can move to universal education; just expand K-12 to vocational and higher education. Like was the case until about the 1980's. So tuition (at least in state universities and colleges) really isn't a thing. Like in Germany. Then let's go big on mass transit nation wide; both city and town and regional as well as continental. Much cheaper per customer than flying. And maybe those who would rather not keep buying an expensive car all the time can either sit on the car they have longer, or even have times where they're not wasting money on the money pit from hell, a car... with insurance... and registration... and cleaning it... etc. etc. etc. And that last one can develop a better European like cultural system where people could quickly drop at a store to buy a few things everyday riding the lite rail system... thus homemade baked bread would beat the garbage at the super duper market or wally world.

  11. We the people really need to come together and announce our own constitutional convention. Because our constitution in general needs some serious updates that the powers that be will never put forward themselves. And they're zombifying our nation economically and socially. A disaster that has millions of children without homes, adults unable to afford housing either renting or mortgage therefor KOA campsites are so full they're not accepting reservations. And various public areas have a camper or car with someone living in it... other places have tents and people just sleeping somewhere on bench or where ever. Walmart (Wally World) initially did it to play to the masses love of camping, allowed RVs to park in the far extended parts of their parking lots. Knowing they would be avid customers of their stuff while transiting thru. But because the past 10 years, Walmart realized... wait, many of these people aren't on vacation anymore... that in fact their car, RV, tent, etc. is actually the residence... parking in their parking lot. Even having mail delivered to them at that address. And suddenly most Walmart locations prohibit the parking of RV's over a 24 period, and will call tow trucks to vacate the person if they do so. Of course, this comes as Walmart store locations can't even get the poorest of the poor to routinely shop enough at their stores to keep them open as the past 10 years they've closed numerous stores in areas such as West Virginia and many other states and their counties where people are so poor, that shopping at Walmart is now a luxury.
