    they're all bastards, both sides, they both use fear, paranoia and outright lies to try and convince the voters. The Murray/Rossi fight here in Washington state has been a prime example. Damned politicians have absolutely NO morals and don't want us to think for ourselves. I'm sick of it..........ok, now may I have a cookie?

    It's outrageous to have to put up with all the political b.s bought as advertisements by the media and shoved down our throats. Thank goodness the elections are over & the attack ads stop!I propose that no more political ads be placed on-air and that the money spent on such garbage be spent on charitable causes or paying down the national debt.

    In michigan we got killed Can you hear the FLUSH
    Michigan has such sheep as people we hire people who out source their ex company(GATEWAY)We just had a Major community say no to medical and not even allowed to grow in. The area is rural. Funny they all want to change the law we voted in by 63%. Prop 19 was defeated by the dispensaries and those cashing in a little know fact. Look were they gave their money. And there are far bigger concerns. This state bellied up to fear tactics and not remembering how we got in to such a lousy situation. Take no responsibility and blame others. Then when that does not work jump ships and expect gold streets in 2 years. Baffles me how can anything work unless all work together forget the sides were are all one. Yet im the idiot and unreasonable one and the Dreamer wont you be one too. Do For Other's you Will Feel Better!!! Guaranteed

    I don't understand the lies and paranoia and insanity flying around either. It boggles my mind, honestly. Lies like you just told from Ms. Foxx. SOME folks should have to listen to our news over here for 2-3 days, to see what the rest of the world thinks about these elections. But then again prolly those folks don't care!! ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

Make yourself at home. (There are numerous versions of this thread, and they've all been pretty dormant for a while, so let's just revive this one and see how it goes.) If this takes on a life of its own I'll make it a new thread. Thanks!

Our two posts have not come up on "Recent Posts" which is what I was trying to do posting here at all to make it easier to find. Not that I don't have opinions, lol.
Cheers

Edit: Now it's working. Thank you

Lots of unfamiliar names from the past. I wonder what happened to them all?

That's a sobering thought Marye - but a truthful one. I wonder what the board will look like in `15 years time ?

I can't seem to find the current "Trouble ahead.." page. Simon and Oro put some thoughts down on it. I can only access access it after someone else has made a comment, and it is noted on the homepage. It's the same as with Daves Picks 52. Neither of which is a big problem, I have to say

Both those are showing up fine for me in Recent Posts; where would you like them to be showing up?

Thanks for looking into this for me. They show up in Recent Posts for me too, but I can't find a heading labelled "Current Events". I look at the page under the top heading of "Community". Under "Store Products" is where I go to find the Daves Picks pages - although the one for 52 isn't there at the moment.

So I can access both the Daves Picks 52 page and the Trouble Ahead page, if there are Recent posts. But if there aren't any recent posts, then I can't seem to access them. This doesn't matter with the Daves Picks page, as there is usually a Recent Post on that one. But the "Trouble Ahead..." one isn't as popular, so I have to wait a while for a Recent Post before I can put a comment on.

My general low level of online skills doesn't help !

Had a sighting of the GD 60 Year Anniversary logo I must say it is sweeeeeet. Now it just so happens that come this September I'll turn 60 myself. So all I want for my 60th is an official release of 12/1/79.

If I click on my id icon on the rhs of the top line and select recent posts from the drop down menu then I get a long list of topics which includes this one and the newer version and the DaP 52 one. I’m using an iPad.

Thanks Colin. Why couldn't I work that out?
1st show - thanks also, but I couldn't seem to get what I was looking for doing that. I do find life difficult sometimes!

Yeah, we kinda are working within a structure that was set up many years ago so thanks for persevering. Dave, yup, the original thread in the Store is missing because, uh, I blew it up by mistake, but the second edition is rocking right along and when Dave's 53 comes along this will all right itself, I think.

“Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations that've long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them.”
