In most sit down restaurants, the service is fair to good still... But most of my recent fast food experience has left a LOT to be desired... Apparently the restaurant in the cited article says it's a split on people's attitudes on "Plato." I say bring on the automation... This small tourist town where the family cabin is has help wanted signs everywhere and many of those that are working are 😳! Went to a New Mexican restaurant today and there was one girl working the door, the tables, the bar and the cash register!? Bring Plato on! If people don’t want to work don’t complain about those that are!! By the way I recommend the new restaurant! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted August 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Please don’t turn this political! But saw this and felt compelled to share it with my friends, especially since the cabin is just a few miles from an Ojibwa reservation and see and talk with them often! "Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn't have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. Without a prison, there can be no delinquents. We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves. When someone was so poor that he couldn't afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift. We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property. We didn't know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth. We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another. We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don't know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society." - John (Fire) Lame Deer, Sioux Lakota - 1903-1976 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted August 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I went to the local Log Cabin store, got into a conversation. We talked about the here and now and the military history we’ve had! Particularly VN, this just after my cousin was telling me of his time on aircraft carriers in the gulf of Tonkin. Read about the gulf of Tonkin incident! Anyway, she got to her father serving in Germany. A story I never heard?! Seems he was one of the troops liberating the concentration camps! Talked of them taking 1200 German troops from the camps and lining them up to machine gun them down!?!?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some video from the hurricane Katrina aftermath How did authority know that these folk had a weapon? Was that mentioned and I missed it? Was this an informed search, or a blanket gestapo type search? Have there been any reparation activities? Have any of these victims exacted their own justice, upon their oppressors after the fact? I have serious questions.
