Dedicated to remembering how it was “back then”, and Tales about the Eel River Valley, and the wisdom of the people that live there. With a big emphasis on; “Language has never been about correctness, it has always been about communicating”. We live in one small bubble of place and time that peace is thought of as ideal, we should revel in it! We cant judge what happened in history by who we are now.

"I'm so tired of people substituting "values" for truth in a wide variety of situations. As a member of the reality-based community, I'd like to see reality used as the litmus test... " Jon Carrol
"The sound "squaw," regardless of its spelling, is OUR word for woman, and it is NOT to be used as an insult! When I hear it spoken by Native peoples, in its proper context, I hear the voices of the ancestors. I am reminded of powerful grandmothers who nurtured our people and fed the strangers, of proud women chiefs who stood up against them, and of mothers and daughters and sisters who still stand here today. In their honor I demand that our language, our women, and our history, be treated with respect.
Thank you for listening."

Quotes from Richard Dawkins:
...Anybody who thinks you need religion in order to be good is being good for the wrong reason. I’d rather be good for moral reasons. Morals were here before religion, and morals change rather rapidly in spite of religion. Even people who rely on the Bible use nonbiblical criteria. If your criteria are scriptural, you have no basis for choosing the verse that says turn the other cheek rather than the verse that says stone people to death. So you pick and choose without guidance from the Bible...
...I draw strength from reflecting on what a privilege it is to be alive and what a privilege it is to have a brain that’s capable in its limited way of understanding why I exist and of reveling in the beauty of the world and the beauty of the products of evolution. The magnificence of the universe and the sense of smallness that gives us in space and in geologically deep time is humbling but in a strangely comforting way. It’s nice to feel you’re part of a hugely bigger picture...

Ok, that was too funny. Thanks for posting that!
That wasn't funny Ernie. I don't know why you posted it.
i've heard it reported that mccain has 7 to 11 houses that he owns all over the country. if he wins tomorrow, then how many more houses will he own. the white house, mt vernon. can he trade four houses in for a hotel?
Naw spyrock, if Obama gets the election MaCain will have to give them away to the less fortunate.
Oregon
well obama lives in chicago. no thanks, i'd rather house sit in arizona by a golf course in a multi million dollar home. that's what i did on my vacation last week. baby sat some 13 year old long haired datsuns in a 3.5 million dollar house. swimming pool and spa. mccains going to need somebody to watch his house and i've certainly got more experience in that department. this being the 2nd week this year that we house sat almost as much experience as palin. actually, this house sittin is pretty cool. a real cheap vacation too. but i'm hep about being fortunate. i'm no military brat with admirals going back forever. i'm not no fortunate son. my 97 year old dad was trying to get the veterans hospital to pay for his loss of hearing and his maleria complications till the day he died for building bridges and roads in burma in world war 2. but that never happened.
my dad taught me not to lie. and before he died, and he was a life long republican, he voted democratic because of the tactics that republicans use to get elected these days. he voted against bush.
and if he was alive, he would have voted for obama. you have to play by the rules. and then you support whomever wins. which i will. that's the american way.
you need to get some 12 step help. it only costs a dollar to pay for the coffee and people will listen to all your problems and you will realize that you are really just like everyone else and not the deva you thought you were.
sorry, deva might be a little harsh. i know that you are in the anonymous group and you are from oregon. so you might be a devo rather than a deva. but i totally support your recovery whether you are a dude or a dudess.
now i get it, it's not your fault. you've been mislead by fox news, rush, dimwitty and holmes who will do whatever it takes to get their man elected. they prey on peoples fears so no wonder you feel the way you do. so don't worry. from what i hear, mccain will get to keep all his houses, he will just have to start paying his fair share of our taxes. but i did hear something if obama gets elected he wants the government to make good on lincolns promise to the slaves so they are going to divide up oregon so that every black person who can prove their ancestors were slaves will get 20 acres and a mule. i guess mule would translate into a chevy colt these days. so welcome back to the hotel california. you can check out but you can never leave.
