some hispanics & blacks, to include oprah "fat" winfree, have opined that old & white racists should die early, to make way for progress. so far, no statement from these worthies about what old black racists should do, louis farrakhan coming immediately to mind.
is he dead yet? he should be, if there is any justice in the universe.
this article discusses the proposition that "old whites" should just die, and get the hell out of the way.*** and, you should note, that the article criticizes no one for such statements. but, it is nice to know what other people think of you, don't you think? http://downtrend.com/jrc410/hispanic-leaders-obama-and-oprah-winfrey-speak-out-old-white-people-should-die-to-put-an-end-to-racism-help-country/?utm_source=Outbrain .
i left a comment at the above post, as follows.--
friends:
i am old. i am white. i think what i think, and you can think what you want to think about that.
i don't feel very damned much like dying. do you understand that? anybody who comes to my front porch with the intent of having me die a "bit early," might just get the other end of the stick.
i am not yet feeble. i am not yet impotent. i will live out my days, as i choose. and, i will defend my right to do so, and my right to say as i please, to the death.
have i made myself perfectly clear?

p.s. i think i'll just leave it at that. and, oh yes, on a related topic.-- i am getting very dependable at 600 yards. i will expand practice to 700 yards w/ the .308, as soon as the weather gets a bit nicer.
*** kind of a compliment, to be considered "in the way" of "leftist progress," when you think about it. laughing.
So, what type of beer should I wave to be considered a friendly - if I ever get out that way ?

a canadian lager, called "moosehead." if they still make it.
i remember the last couple i drank quite fondly. "moosehead." funny name for a beer, but very good beer.

Moosehead is still brewed north of Maine, Canada's largest "independent" brewery since 1867. A very good choice among friends.
For westerners up here, it'd be Big Rock Brewery, Honey Brown, possibly easier to find in western states... dunno.

and... in the way of progress? really! heh.
