Romney is blah blah and We have no choice and blah blah and NOTHING WILL EVER GET BETTER and blah blah because RONPAUL!!!11one!.

Still. I expect he isnt a bad man. Certainly, a cow could do a better job of leading us anywhere than wingnuthead, who couldn’t lead a pack of dogs to a pile of raw meat.

With my dear old friend and confidant Mlle Jenny, I recounted how badly I loathed “To kill a Mockingbird”. Jenny expressed some surprise, in that she’d never heard anyone have that opinion of the book; for me, it was a cast of cardboard caricatures of evil white trash and evil white people in general oppressing a poor innocent black man who never did a bad thing in his life. In fact the only “good” white people are the people willing and able to game the system to “Save” the innocent black man, but the evil white men win in the end, and oh isn’t it tragic how much power those evil white people have and shouldn’t those white trash morons be all killed?

maybe it’s just politically incorrect not to love this book, or the movie- in fact we got to this point with my confession how much I despised Gregory Peck- a fine actor, but a commie sonofabitch, and maybe that movie is what cemented my dislike of him.

Am I the only one who feels like this? This story (Among many)is one of the commandments that we were all to be trained to hate ourselves and ignore the transgressions of the “oppressed”, couched in feelgood language and metaphor. It seems to have worked just fine.

and who would be interested in having a handful of acorns, i am gonna get some padded mailers and put maybe a dozen in each one.

I was going to decap them, and I did a couple hundred, but it’s time consuming. Plus, they need to stay moist to germinate, and the cap is a right proper little sponge ideal for that purpose. So with caps they’re bigger. I will be happy to mail them to you (Within reason) if you shoot me an email to mhardig at aol dot com. They need to be planted quick, but planting is simple; find loamy (Soft) black soil, drop them on the ground, and step on them. You can also plant them in a pot indoors and grow seedlings, and then transplant them outdoors once they acheive a reasonable size.

In wild areas, I have been putting the acorns in where they are between existing trees (better yet, dead trees or rotting stumps) in soil that is covered in leaves and forest debris, and where the seedlings will not be likely to get mowed. Here’s a good primer on oaks.
