Then there was the mangle for ironing A great machine.Comics cost .10 cents and there still was penny candy.Bread cost $.20 and two weeks of grocery's cost $40.00.So many things have disappeared including manners and consideration for others.

"But wait, you might say, religious people claim their beliefs are true.
Marine comments on Apr 19, 2018:
To be honest this post is above the heads of many people. i have discovered that most of the religious are what they are because that is the way they were brought up. They have never questioned their beliefs and go through life in this manner. Tradition plays a big role in their lives and they have never been placed in a position to question what they practice. Since many live in this mythical world supported by the people of like beliefs when a public challenge like the nativity scene on public property occurs no thought is given to the religious aspect rather it is an attack on what they believe already and that must be wrong.Until we can get people to actually review the content of what they believe from a neutral state they will not be able to see how rediculas these beliefs are.

Yup, however it sometimes takes several years for the person to understand this and sometimes the person never learns and becomes a problem for society.
This is something I think about often. How did we go down this road?
Marine comments on Apr 19, 2018:
It began in the late 1800's and was built in different programs over the years and has become the dark government of the republicans and the libertarians now used to hide the millions and billions of dollars.They use every method and trick some of which are criminal in nature to accumulate and retain this money. Examples are dumping toxic waste into the water, oil spills, toxic products from mining, accounting tricks not to pay employees (use of the term independent contractors instead of employees to exclude all benefits like health ins. ,vacations, workmans comp., social security etc). These people will go to no ends to save a dollar that they most likely will never spend and in so doing will place people in low wages and benefits increasing the gap between the wealthy and the middle and lower classes. It is up to the sems to take control of government and serve the people instead of the greed of the wealthy. Will they stand up to the challenge ? I do not know but they are the only choice we have unless we form another party and this does not seem likely.
Gun laws and regulations ___ Who should make them?
Marine comments on Apr 19, 2018:
It is my belief that gun laws and regulations should be made by people who understand guns and how they work rather than by people who attempt to write these laws and regs based upon emotion and tragedy. I have been shooting since age 10. I did not learn the rules of using and owning a gun until I served in the Marines and this is the problem with many gun owners. They obtain a weapon without knowing how to use and care for the weapon. This is where the the law and regs come in. The laws and regs should assume that these facts are known and understood before a weapon can be obtained.Classes and training should be required before gun ownership occurs. A license is provided to own and purchase weapons. License review should be required say every three years and performed by a state official. Domestic violance and the person looses their right to own a weapon. DUI means loss of license and weapon.With mental problems the members of the household should be required to report to police and have them remove weapons from household or person.These should be easy laws to enforce. The republicans have used fear of guns to have people vote against their best interests in everything else and protect their wealth. Someone once said, you must have grit to be a demoncrat you need money to be a republican. Gun ownership should be a federal regulated with the same laws and regulations in every state and reporting of any offenses should be federal so that moving does not allow person to avoid the laws and regs.

Is it ever reasonable for a healthy but unhappy adult to commit suicide?
Marine comments on Apr 17, 2018:
It is unfortunate that a life can be spent in such a wasteful manner because to have existed is such a great honor. However there are those who feel so despondent that they terminate this gift of life. This is a great shame but there isn't anyway that we will be able to prevent such waste.
Two types of gun owners: Those, like myself, who have a weapon they hope they never have to use.
Marine comments on Apr 17, 2018:
Chances are those who own a gun would not be able to shoot anyone before the tables were turned on them. It takes a certain mental outlook to shoot a peson and most people do not possess this ability quick enough to be defensive.
If you could create a government what would you select as the basis for it?
Marine comments on Apr 17, 2018:
i believe it would be a good start but would add stronger language regarding race and religion. I would spell out equality in greater terms so that there is no question that everyone was treated in the same manner.Corporations would not be treated as persons and more thought would be given to monopolies and their power.Defense ,health, education,infrastructure,science,medicine environment,trade would all be defined departments.Taxation would depend on the ability to pay and personal aid would depend on effort of the individual to improve their condition relative to their ability.

Marine comments on Apr 17, 2018:
I have found that many believers have never confronted many of the beliefs of their religion.They just have never given thought to address them but accepted them because that was the thing to do. It is amazing that they have accepted a practice just because they were brought up this way and assume they must follow or be rejected from their society.It is these same people who vote the way their parents have without thinking .

Marine comments on Apr 15, 2018:
i fail to see how one could be liberal in their thinking and not be progressive also.The whole basis of liberal to me means new and different ideas to approach the problems we face. The republicans do not wish to rock the boat because it means spending money, being regulated and held responsible for the outcome.The dems have their problems and are no saints but they are all we have to work with. The Obama's were a great lift on politics. It is sad the republicans sabotaged his administration . We must make sure that the next dem has a better chance to save our government from the pall the republicans have levied upon us.

We need money because the energy billionaires are spending millions of dollars to subvert our government. They are running the republican and libertarian parties for their own good. These robber barons are doing everything they can to prevent the government from spending money on the welfare of the people. If you have not read the book Dark Money please do so. The koch brothers and other billionaries are doing everything they can not to spend a dollar on the welfare of the people and to make more money. These people are sick and money is their sickness.They are willing to kill the planet just to have more money. These billionaries pose more of a threat to the USA than Russia,

Marine comments on Apr 15, 2018:

Read the book DARK MONEY and you will be totally dishearten by our government and the people who blindly are being led to support it which goes against their own self interests. This is how we got trump and ity is a crime.
