SO GOOD, IT'S CRIMINAL !
"Joseph Kewfi" wrote in message ... This isn't the first time this has happened to me, either. I think the next time it happens I will politely ask the officer for a list of things that I may and may not photograph. If he can't provide such a list I shall politely ask him to go **** up a rope With the fascists ruling your country, I wouldn't be too smart with anyone in uniform, if I were you. You might end up getting your asshole checked for explosives and then be sent to Gitmo for a re-check, over and over again for years to come. Remember - it ain't just black and brown assholes getting treatment, being white won't save you either. It's so easy to paint a picture of misery on the other side of the hill.....If you came here, Joseph, I think you'd find that our grass is just as green as yours. |

20D: SO GOOD, IT'S CRIMINAL !
"Robert Barr" wrote in message . .. Anyway, I'm minding my own business when I notice there's some rookie cop standing there beside me asking me what I was shooting. "Birds," I told him without even looking up from my 20D and the Forgotten 400 f/ 5.6L. "Show me," he demands. ... and if you had been using a film camera? The cop would have left him alone....He only hassles the "chimpers"......... |

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 I note with some dismay that the US Constitution has now been referred to as just a historical document, nothing more.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. mike |

I'm bored this afternoon so I go over to the dam to try to get some pics of the herons flying (they were very uncooperative). I'm also shooting a few ducks, some cardinals, and the lone falcon that lives there. The light is terrible, it's about to rain, but hey ... I love a challenge. Anyway, I'm minding my own business when I notice there's some rookie cop standing there beside me asking me what I was shooting. "Birds," I told him without even looking up from my 20D and the Forgotten 400 f/ 5.6L. "Show me," he demands. So he makes me scroll through the entire CF card showing him the photos to make sure I'm not shooting a picture of little kids or the bridge ... you know, like terrorists always do. So I'm narrating the pics as I scroll, "Great Blue Heron, duck, falcon, duck, Presidential Motorcade, me flipping off the Pres, another duck, me and the old lady doing it ..... " You know, the usual stuff. Just kidding about the Presidential pics. Thankfully, I deleted them from the card before today's shoot. Otherwise, I might be typing this from Guantanimo. I was very polite with the flatfoot (since I don't really like jail), but the more I thought about it after he left the madder I got. At what point does having a nice camera make one a terrorist suspect? When did that happen? (I know it must've been in the last 6 years.) I know Bush (and his gang of crooks) wipes his ass with the Constitution, but I must've missed it when photography became a crime. I'm just glad my pal, Kamran, wasnt with me. He's from Pakistan and he's got a quick tongue. Can you say, "Taser?" This isn't the first time this has happened to me, either. I think the next time it happens I will politely ask the officer for a list of things that I may and may not photograph. If he can't provide such a list I shall politely ask him to go **** up a rope. Anyway, here's a crappy pic from today's crappy shoot. http://www.pbase.com/image/74796772 Bad news about your cops there. Not so bad as thar here in NZ - but we're a nonenity on the world scene anyway. You're too modest about that 'crappy' shot. It's a bloody good shot, very detailed, soft lighting, no hard shadows or blown highs, composition nearly perfect. I could put that on my wall.

Now, at 71, I am too old to do much more.....Tell me, m II, what are YOU doing about, "what is going on"? |

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! Images (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by MarkČ at: www.pbase.com/markuson |

SO GOOD, IT'S CRIMINAL !
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks You that never done nothin' But build to destroy You play with my world Like it's your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain You fasten the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion As young people's blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I'm young You might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm younger than you Even Jesus would never Forgive what you do Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul And I hope that you die And your death'll come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand o'er your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead |

Dylan was always good at complaining about the actions of the people who are charged with protecting this country from the enemies who would see us dead....But what would he have us do when ass holes like Jong Kim Ill start throwing the atom bombs around? As far as I'm concerned, he is a parasite like B. Streisand. This country has given those two millions and they just wish us death at the hands of people who are, even now, teaching their children that the only way into Heaven is by killing innocents. I wonder how his poetry would have protected him had he been in one of those WTC towers on 9/11? Doesn't he understand that there are REAL people out there who want us DEAD? Why doesn't he sing about that? |
