Then we invented so much to do with weaponry no single individual has ever yet had as many patents for things weapon than my grandfather's great-grandfather's brother's son, who invented the Browning machine gun and a thousand other things like it. More and more, the Bushes should like us. When they say "oh to hell with China, we walked on the moon first, we reached mach 11 first, we invented more weapons than any other nation.." they are talking about my ancestors, my people who came here. When they tie a strawman nymph on their fly rod , or use a midge rod, not knowing it was a name in my grandfather's catalogue that jumped into generic use, they are appreciating my grandfather's free time after work in America that led to his creation of these fly-fishing innovations, his access to clear trout streams, all the things our elite now want walled off as the province of the elite although the inventions come from letting everyone participate. While they tell you it's ok to make cuts to those on Medicaid because we can just pay a little more out of pocket and not expect everything to be free like the rest of you had to learn long ago, he is lying in 4 ways and you are giving him a standing ovation. Standing ovations mean nothing anymore, they wail; every performance gets one; well, it means something when it's for hurting the innocent poor.
And when Jeb said that he got a standing ovation when first, the poor had no extra money to pay to make up for "cuts", and of course were just being cut-everyone knew that; and secondly people on Medicaid worked 20 to 40 years before having to get on it to get a transplant or other expensive treatment. Third insinuating they entered life on it says their parents were good-for-nothings first, having no health insurnce for their kids--must not have worked very often...Coolbit grew up upper-middle class.
$th mistake--assuming people on medicaid are layabouts. half are under 18 ; of the rest, 68% are in nursing homes. The other 34% of 50% are all 100% disabled and certified by their doctor and socials ecurity's as unable to work ; it is hard to get this designation before one is close to dead.
Coolbit tries to hang onto important art and writings, and watches TV movies,the same ones over and over if she likes them, so she can really savor and know them. She first wrote something for imdb in 1997. She likes playing at writer at urbis and sharing photos at Facebook and MySpace that she wishes she could put on Urbis. She also enjoys seeing her 19-year-old daughter's artwork at deviant art (Chippie) and the photos she took in Japan while attending college there in 2007 at photobucket.

A High Wind in Jamaica (1965)
A High Wind in Jamaica pits normal kids against ruthless pirates for the"Least Scruples" Award
This mood-provoking 60's-style (ballad theme song) drama recounts a moment from an even earlier era, when there was piracy on the high seas.It stars a group of children who prove there is a group of human beings even less civilized than pirates, or can at least give them a run for their money. Anthony Quinn tenders the character of Chavez, captain of a pirate ship, of whole cloth: we always believe in Chavez and find him a worthwhile study. We have loved like him--whether it was a cuddly little animal or a neat person in our world awhile--for no reason other than that the loved delights us. While the love itself is pure, it can bring on trouble. This is demonstrated in both the film story line and the film's history, the latter being that the film has been basically closeted , perhaps due to society's discomfort with a grown-man's-affection-for-a-little-girl story line. Debra Baxter as Emily is a total charmer, realistically skinnier while unparented at sea.The tale evolves around her character, a 10-year-old English kid raised in Jamaica and now being shipped with her siblings and another family to the mother land to be reared out of her heathen ways.While Chavez's gang invades their ship, the children, as always in their own world, explore the pirate vessel and are still aboard when the clueless pirates take off. They are discovered and the pirates want to chunk them on the next island or worse, but Chavez insists the kids stay until they get to a safe port.The crew mutinees, the kids are saved, but Emily thinks she has committed a deed she will be punished for. An excellant dramatization of the potency of the untamed internal value system, aptly including society's "outsider-bad-men" as a frame of reference. It's a movie to chew over and think about. Children of both sexes enjoy it again and again.
