    Hello Glad To Be Here

    My name is JAG and thanks for having me as a forum member.

    I enjoy politics, religion, philosophy, reading, good food, laughing,
    and having a good time.

    I try to keep at least "four books going all the time" just to keep
    it interesting.

    I am now reading "It's Getting Better All The Time: 100 Greatest
    Trends Of The Last 100 Years" by Stephen Moore and Julian Simon,
    published by the Cato Institute.

    I am also reading "Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think"
    by Peter H. Diamandis and Stephen Kotler.

    _________

    I am a cheerful, up-beat, up-ward mobile positive constructive
    kind of guy. I believe America's best days are yet ahead.

    I lean towards the Conservative side of the political spectrum,
    but I am not a fanatic and I have no axes to grind.

    Family Man: Wife, children, and grandchildren.

    _________

    Food: I love Filet Mignon, Salmon Steaks, and dead Chickens.

    Music & Song: I love Andrea Bocelli and Pavarotti and Sarah Brightman,
    and the Vienna Philharmonic.
    _________

    Thanks again for the opportunity to be a member
    of the Forum.

    Welcome!
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Welcome, sir.
    Thank you very much for the welcome.
    I do love to eat dead chickens.
    I thought about eating a live chicken one time , , but only for a couple of seconds.
    Rare chicken would be much different than rare ribeye steaks.

    Yeah give these 2 books a shot --- you'll love the bright cheerful optimism:

    "It's Getting Better All The Time: 100 Greatest
    Trends Of The Last 100 Years" by Stephen Moore and Julian Simon,
    published by the Cato Institute.

    "Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think"
    by Peter H. Diamandis and Stephen Kotler.

    God Bless.

    Quotes For Today:


    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
    ___J.R.R. Tolkien


    “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
    "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such
    times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to
    decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
    ___J.R.R Tolkien

    Welcome to the party.

    It's all fun and games, until someone farts and another communist is born.
