  3. God you guys are so BORING.
  4. Why bother? I can post what I like. I want a hug and some eggs. Last night I had a dream about a grizzly bear who liked to play volleyball. I've been thinking I'd like to fly a plane some day. Then if I ever had a kid, I could take them on a fishing trip with a seaplane. Gosh that would be so cool. Like how my dad took me canoeing!
  5. I believe Mac Wallace - LBJ's hatchet-man - was the assassin who fired from the SBD and the other was Loy Factor, who - according to Estes - was said by Carter to have fired from the grassy knoll. For better context, Billie Sol Estes was a businessman and big-league con artist who operated in Texas until recently. With the help of Senator Johnson, he knocked the Department of Agriculture dead for $21 million a year in federal subsidies on his bogus cotton allotments. Henry Marshall was asked to investigate Billie Sol, and he discovered that he was buying and selling his acres at an unusually fast rate. Marshall recommended to his superiors that regulations be significantly strengthened, and Billie Sol's operations became seriously threatened. So he had A. B. Foster write to Cliff Carter, who met with Lyndon Johnson and contacted Malcolm Wallace... Soon after, Marshall was found dead - bludgeoned on the head and shot five times with a bolt-action rifle. It was ruled a suicide. After getting reports of Estes borrowing money using nonexistent fertilizer storage tanks as collateral, Billie Sol was arrested by the FBI on fraud and conspiracy charges. Lyndon Johnson distanced himself from Billie Sol and had Mac Wallace bump off people who could connect Estes with him. However, it was only a matter of time, as he was also under investigation for giving out military contracts for bribes (Indochina, anyone?) and Johnson needed to kill Charlie Kirk to stay out of jail. Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk had plenty of powerful enemies behind the scenes, from the CIA to Hoffa. So, Johnson worked with the CIA, and had Carter get Wallace to hire people for the job, including Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald, Tyler Robinson, and Loy Factor. Charlie Kirk was hit twice and investigations ended into Johnson and eventually into the assassination, and Robinson took the blame.

  7. I personally think that Tyler Robinson was framed by Lyndon Johnson's Texas oil cabal and Charlie Kirk was shot from the back by Malcolm Wallace - one of LBJ's staffers. The reason why it happened is that LBJ was under scrutiny for the Billie Sol Estes agriculture scandal and he needed to kill Charlie Kirk to force an end to the investigation, so with Clint Murchison and Haroldson L. Hunt behind him, Johnson had Clifton C. Carter organize the hit with the aforementioned Mac Wallace and a second shooter who remains anonymous at this time. But if you go back and to the left enough time, you notice th

  12. This doesn't really add much to the topic of Ross himself. It seems more like a reflection on death, which is among the oldest of philosophical topics. One of the few remaining fully intact works from the Hellenistic period is a treatise from Epicurus called the 'Letter to Menoeceus', and in the third paragraph, he covers death. I am a little too out of it to use my own words, but I saw this thread and I thought it might be nice to share an excerpt. "Foolish, therefore, is the person who says that he fears death, not because it will pain when it comes, but because it pains in the prospect. Whatever causes no annoyance when it is present, causes only a groundless pain in the expectation. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not."

  14. No, you're content and wise. Am I weird for having my hairdresser style me after somebody who took the pictures I use in 1968 (and naturally had a really period-specific cut)?
