Personally, if the major news stations were forced to actually report the news and not their biased version of the news, how many people would have seen the opposing candidates? When I was leaving yesterday evening, there was a couple there talking about the other candidates, and how they hadn't even heard of them. Now here is the sad part, How many potential better presidents could we have elected if they had the massive funding that obama and romney had? Of course, when romney was running low on funds, the sup-pacs were able to keep his messages on the air by their funding. BUT, you never saw/heard/read anything about the other hopefuls except Ron Paul, and not even enough about him.

I remember back in 92 when Clinton was running and Ross Perot was also running. I had a govt project (senior year) that had to follow ads, articles, etc about the major competitors for the job... I think they were running against Bush 1, anyway, The only reason Perot had his name out there as much as it was, was because he was loaded and bent his money to getting it out there and keeping it out there. I don't think he had a real chance in hades of winning, but his name was out there, EVERYONE knew who he was. There weren't people standing at the polls asking, "Who is this bird?"

But now you got these little guys who do not have that sort of money, even with the election fund provided by the govt, it really is not enough. It is not fair and balanced at all considering we are more than a two party system, but those two parties rule the roost, per-say, and not very many are in it for the little people. They are in it for their ambition and their bank accounts. We kick one out, we get another who is just the same, in a pretty new package, pandering to foreign powers, selling our jobs out from under us, and coming down hard on the little people to keep them little. BOTH SIDES do this. BOTH side blame the other.

Looking at the race results, I was surprised at how close the election really was. Just because obama got the majority of the electoral as needed, the popular vote was really by his teeth. I think he needs to look at that and rethink how close he really came to losing in a lot of states. A lot of states by just 1-2%. I am not sure it will make him rethink anything. I am sure it will just have his ego a little more blown up. The people who are standing in line going hip hip hooray, its another free money payday are certainly happy. Only it is not free, the money has to come from some place.

Don't get me wrong, there are people out there who legitimately need help, and I understand that. But there are more and more people like my kids dad who don't want to work. Refuse to work at a job that doesn't pay them what they "think" they are worth, so they'd rather sit home and collect unemployment for 2 years, go to college on the tax payers dime for the last 7 years, and get assistance from DHS, food banks, etc... and con the poop out of everyone on how hard they have it. BUT, they don't think, "hey this money comes from overseas borrowing." They think that the money comes from the govt, the govt is helping them, not that they are putting themselves and their great grandchildren in more and more debt to other countries.

And yeah, about China... Ya know, they are just going to do to us what we have done to other countries... Only China has been doing it to their own country and neighboring countries since before America was discovered. They really are in a down slope right now, but look, they are seriously climbing the ladder again, and we owe, YES WE, since we are the govt (supposedly, since we elect by the people for the people) them a lot of cash. My dad said that I aught to have my children taught Mandarin, so that way when they come here, and take over more an more, my kids would be able to compete for jobs better. LOL. I laughed my butt off behind his back on it. I am thinking, he "saw" more than I did at the time...
I know some of these people. I have always worked my butt off at 2 and 3 jobs to have what I do while everything they have is handed to them. They eat steak while I eat hamburg....which by the way is getting so expensive I can't hardly afford that anymore !!!!
 
We lost closet last night ... but supplies is still doing good ... and brooms egg is still rocking but no pip yet .. so do not know if he will get out or not and dont really want to open the incy to check ... still have the chickies and quail in there and dont want the flunctuations too much ...

Im thinking about thinning out my main flock .. i have 7 EEs given away already just got to set up the meet ... that means i can move the rest of the silkies out of quarantine in the next week or two ... into the bigger pen and put the hens that will be left in a smaller pen ...
Might give up some of the silkie roos and still havent got things worked out to pick up the SFs cause i honestly forgot about them ... guess i need to message her on here and get all that set up too ...
 
AS and BCs are herding breeds...round and round we go. They will herd anything that moves.
Goldens and chows are working breeds... used for hunting.

Both are wired to be USED! And both are double wired.

Chows are known to be tempermental... not mean but tempermental.

Both dogs (just by knowing their breeds) should be very eager to please.
Yeah, they are very eager to please - just not each other - and they individually will do whatever we ask. I also think the being used part is true. We just don't have anything for them to do and no time right now to take them on long walks. They have a huge yard (about an acre) so they can run and chase squirrels but it really doesn't wear them out or give them a job. And the AS/BC herds everything, even the grandkids - LOL!
 




This is what I spent my afternoon finishing up to this point. I just have to finish the top ends... Going to actually fence up there too so I don't have to worry about critters climbing over. Gracious, I hope I won't have to worry about that. I am thinking of running a hot wire around the top and the bottom... I have to go and rescue my mom from John, and make dinner.
 
I stopped at Tractor Supply on the way home to pick up some stuff and ended up with a big 'flock block' by purina. I put it in with the girls thinking that this would give them something to do as it looks good to me but they completely ignore it. Have I spent $15 dollars for nothing? Should I get a hammer and break it up a little bit? It's the size of a salt block but with lots of seeds and stuff embedded in it.

That's pretty cool. Where did you find your hoops?
