They also gave us "Sex, drugs, and rock and roll.", free love, "Tune in, turn on, and drop out". The Watts riots, 1968 Democratic convention riot, Hippies, the Weathermen, etc

 

Yeahhhhh, I like Eddie, so I was reluctant to point out that if any of my fellow Boomers were so naïve that they ever actually thought what they were working toward was actual "equality", it doesn't speak well of our intellect either.

It's NEVER about "equality", and it never has been. It's about rigging the game to favor PLU's - "people like us".

 

Equality is a French value.

 

What was your original topic?

 

Whatever it was, it's been answered.

 

If memory serves, Jesus didn't like the money changers much, so probably not. I figure some enterprising individual who saw the American tourists as a mark. It was an attractive display. As stated above, China's expertise in counterfeiting everything is worrisome and once they are in the system only the experts can tell, so the average person is duped easily.

 

... not to mention the average CoinTalk member.

 

Would you rather have plastic African American jockeys on your neighbors lawns right next to the plastic flamingos? As though you gave it so much as an ounce of thought, what do you imagine it takes to change a system that sees things like that as, "Oh, that's normal?"

 

Uh, equal RIGHTS, Kurtsie. You can grasp that concept, I have faith in you. That's what we were working for, and that's what we got. It's not our fault the crackpots moved in on it.

 

These are still L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y still quite common on lawns where I recently moved from, as are Confederate flags on front porches. ... in a Union state. ('Bout 45 minutes from the Mason-Dixon line, but still....) (15 minutes in the opposite direction is a majority Latino city of 85,000ish people.) (Yeah, it's a "high conflict" cultural area.)

 

Sure it is, to at least a small extent - you were so busy virtue signaling, that you forgot to scan for "crackpots". It's fine, a lot of movements have the same problem. "Convenient allies" sometimes do come at a cost.

 

Did you know that when Martin Luther King marched in my home town of Cicero, nobody took even a single picture of him? There are pictures of the marchers, but not him. Do you know why? He was scared to death to do it, because he knew he'd get killed. He was in a hotel in Chicago, the whole time. And you reduce the work we did to, "virtue signaling?" Shows a real well-developed EQ ("Emotional Quotient"), let me tell you...

 

I'm just a LITTLE too world-weary of "social justice warriors" than is typical of people my age. I feel like I've seen it all and am now suffering from deja poo.

I did walk the Selma to Montgomery walk, but it WAS just a few years ago, and the biggest danger was not dogs on the Pettus; it was pick-up truck drivers. It WAS an autumn Saturday in Alabama, so there IS that.

 

Kurt, I'm with you! You think what we did was "social justice?" What we did was "civil rights." "Social justice" is where the Millennials took that.

 

The MOST dangerous thing ANYONE can do on ANY autumn Saturday morning in Alabama is be walking on a highway. Alcohol consumption starts early. I just did the "ciphering", that was now already 12 years ago I did that walk. Wow, time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

 

I want to request that this thread I created receive no further comments..

You guys are weird!

 

He didn't fear that, though. He was there and not in a hotel room.

 

Thank you.

 

OK.
