People here give it away for free every year. I ended up with 20lbs las year and it is NOT my favorite. I love Halibut. Yumm!
I'm waiting for work traffic to die down, then Sea Galley or Sushi.

I know, right? It gets cheap in the Summer. I might have to send you something. They have those companies that ship it frozen. Pretty cool. I used to send halibut to my grandma when she was still with us. She loved it.

I'm thinking Sushi. I love it so much it's disgusting.

You had them crawling out of the woodwork like the lights went out.

I added 5 more to my list.

I had one shitheel threaten me with MIRT last night. Seems he had a sad over my "personal insults", but couldn't work up the juice for an Alert.

Thanks.

I have read what you have posted and sorry to say I have been a bit distracted and don't always answer people. Sorry about that.

Yes, some crawled out. Others, complete silence. COMPETE SILENCE ONCE AGAIN! True colors shine through on DU. Not like I am surprised.

Issues about Obama. You hear !@#$%^&*(O*&^%$#@!#)_)(*&$#@#$%^&*(*&%$#$%^&*(*&^%$#$%^&**%$*(RE^&*(*^%$#@#$(^%$#$%^&*(*&^%$#%^&*(.;;.!@#$%^&*()(*&^$#@!@#()(*&%$#@#$%*()_+_)(*%$#@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#$%&*()_)(*&^%$#$%^&*()_*&^%$#$%^&*()_(*&^%$#$%^&*()(*&^%$#%^&*()_(*&^%$#@$%^&*()_)(*&^%$%^&*()_

Issue about race? You hear.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ crickets when it comes to support. It pisses me the fuck off!

The most vocal said progressives on this board don't seem to have the time, or the will or maybe they don't give a fuck about black lives. Whatever they are silent and silence speaks louder than words.

I have no one on ignore, maybe I should. For now I am not doing that. I want to see what they say.

Thank you!

see my Post #303 to Vattel.

I think that says all that really needs to be said to these self-described liberal/progressives, both those that twist themselves into knots to justify murder and those that sanction it by their silence.

Zimmerman is a scared little man, terrified because he knew he was just ordinary. He desperately wanted to be "special" but was just another face in the crowd, living day by day without being noticed.

He hunted, stalked and killed a young man, hoping for recognition. His remarks since murdering Trayvon have shown that he actually believes that he will be feared and respected because he's a killer.

He's just as pathetic and frightened now as he was before becoming a murderer. He didn't get enough of the attention he craves, so he'll destroy another life soon in his vain attempt to validate his own.

His "fans" are exactly the same, living vicariously through his shameful fame, filling the empty hours with fantasies of achieving that same hollow "specialness" but mostly too afraid that public revulsion will prevent them from getting away with it.



Our self-styled liberal/progressives that defend his aquital are just lesser versions. They consider themselves "better" than racists because they have a patronizing faux-concern for lesser beings. The inner workings of their brains are just as devious, self-deceptive, and frightened as Zimmerman, they just have a different fantasy, that of the "loving parent", seeking to justify his murder through "tough love"; he brought it on himself.

Those that remain silent are muzzled by their own feelings of inadequacy, on the one hand they think Martin's death was wrong, on the other they can't bring themselves to declare him an equal, so they stay out of the fight and wait obstinately to for it go away so they can go back to declaring one abstract political theory within the realm of Liberal thought as better/worse than the others. They refuse to accept the excruciating emotions of commitment because they're vacuous, empty souls.

Trayvon Martin was a human being, no greater nor lesser than any of us. He was sometimes good, sometimes bad. I ache for the senseless loss and endure a seething, impotent rage over the injustice.

I wouldn't have it any other way. Trayvon's death was wrong; acceptance of it, either by a sterile dissection of the trial or by pretending it didn't happen would lessen me as a human being, and I will not cower.
