Guess he'd have had to wait a day or two.


Probably worse. He would've taken your film and them maybe
developed it, maybe looked at the pictures, and, then, maybe
returned them to you, eventually.

Which medium format camera was that? Inquiring minds want to know.
I'm betting a Pentax 6x7 as it's the deadliest camera I've held.


Oh, it was a "slightly" modified Hasselblad..

Maybe it's time to examine the REAL "why" there are people who want the
US dead.

Hint: It's not envy.

I am a conservative....I have been writing letters and bitching at
congressmen all of my life, but I like living near the ocean, and all
these states are "blue", which means they are the land of the socialists,
and Robin-Hooders, who want the government to own and control everything,
and pay all the costs with my tax money, and I am effectively
disenfranchized.


You mention socialism alot, but from your posts it's also clear you don't
have much of an idea of what socialism really is.

Well, yes...but what are all those blotches of red everywhere?

I note with some dismay that the US Constitution has now been referred to
as just a historical document, nothing more. What have you done to stop
the slide into totalitarianism? Oh..wait a minute..I seem to recall you
have NO qualms about what is going on as long as your stomach is full.

Oh I don't know, William... John McCain will be older than you are now
if/when he's elected president!


McCain hasn't got a hope of being appointed or elected if you will to the
Presidency, he ****ed off the core of Republican voters, the fundamentalist
Christian Evangelicals (Your respectable Taliban) by saying they are "agents
of intolerance." which is perfectly true but doomed his candidacy from day
1.

Heck...My 70 year old dad still goes early with me to batting practice
before Padres games here in S.D., and he's STILL know to practically dive
for balls...and I'm not kidding. Our latest catch came only last
season, and was added to a collective of about 50 or so balls we've caught
over the years. It's one of those father-son things that neither of
us ever outgrew.

There's hope for you yet, you old geezer!

I don't know any Catholics ;-]

If you come to Ireland today, you won't find many Catholics, religion has
been replaced with shopping. There are probably more devout Catholics in
America, in fact - Europe is pretty much secular nowadays, not many give
two hoots about religion, that's probably why we are much less bothered
about the threat of so called Islamic fundamentalism, that kinda thing just
wouldn't work here on a wide scale.

The above may be true, and it doesn't say much for the present day state of
our democratic system.....It means that for any candidate to win the
election, he/she must be a weaseling, mealy mouthed, liar who only publicly
says what he and his advisors believe to be what 51% or more of the American
people believe. So maybe this is the reason why we end up with the,
"leaders" that we end up with?
My solution is to pick our congressmen out of a hat containing every
eligible person in the population, and eliminate the elective process
altogether.....The resulting congress can elect the president of their
choice out of their membership. But this "pie-on-the-sky" solution will
never be adopted until we are changed by the primary right of the people,
which is the right of revolution.

Maybe so, but I can't do anything about that. - All I can do at this point
is to try to survive, and I do that by trying to prevent things like 9/11
from happening again, and voting for the biggest "hawks" I can find and
telling them to arm us to the teeth.....Do you have any better suggestions
for me?

You mention socialism alot, but from your posts it's also clear you don't
have much of an idea of what socialism really is.

Here is my definition: Socialism is a system where the government takes all
the peoples money away from them, and then doles it back out according to
their "needs". And, of course, the government decides exactly what those
needs are. So you end up living the lifestyle that the government wants you
to live. You eat the food they want, live in the house they want you to live
in, near the factory they want you to work in, and have only the things they
want you to have, which, of course, are only those things that they deem are
good for you and the rest of the population . - Lots of fun, huh?
And these socialists resent people like me, who saved and invested my
money so that I could be independent and provide for myself.....We aren't in
their plan. They want to take our money away from us and give it to the
general fund, so we will become good little ants, just like the others in
the colony.
