I wish I knew what he was saying. As a person who just got back from France a few months ago, let me say... the French are NUTS... but still a lot smarter than Americans. :/.
psex...fascinating observation ..., i recently read this ... "..... We live in two Americas. One America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth. The other America, which constitutes the majority, exists in a non-reality-based belief system. This America, dependent on skillfully manipulated images for information, has severed itself from the literate, print-based culture. It cannot differentiate between lies and truth. It is informed by simplistic, childish narratives and clichés. It is thrown into confusion by ambiguity, nuance and self-reflection. This divide, more than race, class or gender, more than rural or urban, believer or nonbeliever, red state or blue state, has split the country into radically distinct, unbridgeable and antagonistic entities.
There are over 42 million American adults, 20 percent of whom hold high school diplomas, who cannot read, as well as the 50 million who read at a fourth- or fifth-grade level. Nearly a third of the nation%u2019s population is illiterate or barely literate. And their numbers are growing by an estimated 2 million a year. But even those who are supposedly literate retreat in huge numbers into this image-based existence. A third of high school graduates, along with 42 percent of college graduates, never read a book after they finish school. Eighty percent of the families in the United States last year did not buy a book. "
bad news for america, but good news for religious fanatics, fast talking phony financial wizards and ambitious politicians with limited ability....
I got ya where I want ya now qlane, in a reactive defensive posture, you know, kind of like when you're standing too close to the edge of a cliff and you lose your balance....you just stand there floundering pathetically for a moment before going over LOL!
Shit, I think snow is fun..... along with all the other delightful escapades which can be seen in Miter's vids on youtube.....

As an old GC of mine used to say, "Never piss off people in the construction business..... it's real easy to hide a body under a foundation"
