This pic isn't from the racist south, it's from a 1926 KKK rally in Oneonta NY.

On this day thousands lined Main Street to witness a parade of 500 fully robed Klansmen
heading to a rally where they initiated nearly 100 new members from the Oneonta area under
a large burning cross.
Because of the small number of African-Americans in the region, the KKK focused their vitriol
on Jews, Catholics and immigrants.

The Ku Klux Klan had more than 80,000 members in New York State.  New York had the seventh
largest membership of any state in the Union.  



The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Nothing's changed.  Still people screaming racism, sexism and any other ism they can think of so they can claim victim status.  There are just a lot more people in prison today for crimes that have no victim.

Quoted from Shadow
Yes safer, fewer cars on the road, neighbors watched out for each others kids, and  fewer perverts walked the streets.


Yes....that does make a BIG difference.
Cars are faster, the pace of living is faster, stores are open 24/7, no one is home anymore....everyone is a weekend warrior!!!

Funny how we have all the modern 'time saving' conveniences .... auto washers/dryers, microwaves, electric/gas stoves, huge freezers, power mowers, snow blowers etc....and we have LESS time now! Go figure!!!!

BINGO!!!! just because it's not voiced doesn't mean it doesn't exist.....

the 'cage' today is TERRORISM


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
