Ramblin' Wreck

Fellow Patriots,
As I was knocking the rust off my strikes I came across this article with a term I'd never heard before. This make perfect sense why the colonists pushed back so hard against an increasingly tyrannical government. They had been allowed free rein for over 100 years and resented the freedom and liberty they'd grown up with being taken away. Consider mentioning it as appropriate.

See you on the line.

I am 2% smarter now.   ;D

Thanks for the share - it helped me connect several dots.
"5 minutes for this stage - that's like a week in people years!"

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible."
― Hyman G. Rickover

"Scoring is a function of great execution, and winning Is the result, but thinking about winning can pull your focus off of proper execution in a competition. Thinking about process is the answer."- Lanny Bassham

I wish D.C. would practice some Salutary Neglect. All I want is to be left alone.
