Introducing “Car Condos” – Wealthy Baby Boomers Embark on One Last Misallocation of Capital Binge by Purchasing $600,000 Garages

Screen Shot 2014-10-03 at 11.23.45 AMThe most significant challenge of our times relates to the ongoing theft of society’s wealth across the board by a very small group of people known as “oligarchs,” the “super rich,” the “overclass,” etc. Whatever you want to call them, this group is hellbent on using political cronyism in faux democracies across the global to aggregate all the world’s wealth and power, while concurrently implementing an Orwellian surveillance state spy-grid in order to protect their fiefdoms once the plebs finally become restless. This much we know.

While the above-mentioned clash between oligarchs and the demoralized and confused citizenry (a significant percentage of this class doesn’t even know the clash is happening) will be the defining battle of my lifetime, it is extremely important to understand another conflict that is almost equally important. This is the widening division between generations, which I believe will get quite ugly in the next severe economic downturn beginning sometime next year.

The reason this conflict is much more nuanced, is because millennials don’t dislike their parents, and baby boomers aren’t actively trying to harm their children’s future. Rather, both generations are going to experience a gigantic clash in the years ahead as these distinct generations’ collectively look to secure their own futures. For the boomers, this will quite singularly mean securing a comfortable retirement. For the millennials, it will mean a professional and family life that feels rewarding, higher standards of living, and political, cultural and economic self-determination. Notably, millennials have realized none of these things, due in large part to baby boomers holding firmly onto the reigns of political power and bailing-out their financial portfolios whenever they are threatened, and at any cost.

As millennials come into their own and realize how fucked they are, they are becoming more and more vocal. Thus, we see increased youth movements all over the world demanding self-determination, such as the massive gathering in Hong Kong known as #OccupyCentral. We also saw clear signs of generational fracturing in the recent Scottish independence referendum, which I discussed in the post, Fear and Loathing in Scotland – Why the NO’s Won and Lessons Learned from the Vote, in which I noted:

The NO vote was entirely secured by overwhelming support from those aged above 55. In fact, the “better together” camp failed to win any of the age groups below 55 years of age. For the 65+ crowd it was simply a blowout. 73% of them voted NO. So in a nutshell, old people filled with fear blocked independence. Similarly, fearful old people bailed out the banks in the U.S. several years ago, putting a nail in the coffin of the middle class and the youth generally. See what I am getting at here?

The youth in Scotland are well aware of why they lost the right to self-rule. They know it was their parents and grandparents that put the nail in the coffin. They will not forget this, and resentment over issues such as this, which will increasingly spilt along generational lines, will be a key feature of the decades to come.

While many investors and corporations are focused on what rich baby boomers want, I think this will ultimately be a misplaced strategy. Once the millennials take over politically, it won’t matter so much what the boomers want. It is much more important to understand the drivers of millennial wants. To understand that, we need to focus squarely on the bail-out period and everything that has happened since, because this is the period in which millennials started coming into their own and noticed the heaping pile of societal and economic shit that has been handed down to them by their predecessors.

Of course, none of this has to do with individual relationships between children and their parents. I have the most loving, supportive and wonderful parents imaginable and they would both be categorized as “baby boomers.” Rather, it has to do with how entire generations collectively act upon their own self-interests, and how I see that becoming an enormous clash between retiring boomers and millennials going forward. Just as the average citizen had no idea of the economic warfare being waged against them for years by the oligarchs until recently, so too have millennials been blind to how screwed they are until recently.

While many people have accurately described the financial crisis bailouts as the rich and powerful saving themselves from their own financial destruction, there was another very important undercurrent at play. This consists of the baby boomers as a generation making the decision to pile on an incredible amount of public debt in order to protect their portfolios as retirement loomed in the not too distant future. Millennials still hold minuscule political power and it’s 2014. Six years ago the group had essentially no voice. So their economic future was sacrificed with little protest.

We know that baby boomers love their stocks and bonds. So with the “non-violent extremist” policy of the Federal Reserve to transfer the nation’s wealth from the middle class to the already very wealthy, the super rich have transformed themselves into oligarchs, and many the baby boomers are now embarking on one last misallocation of capital spree before retirement. Enter “car condos.”

Bloomberg reported on the latest phenomenon earlier this week. Essentially, baby boomers with a love of cars and some extra cash burning a hole in their pockets, are joining an “accelerating trend” that consists of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on luxury garages for their cars. We learn that:

Eric Murphy’s 4,500-square-foot pad has a 900-bottle wine cellar, gourmet kitchen and a red Ferrari F430 parked by the sofa.

This isn’t your average man cave. It’s a car condo at AutoMotorPlex, 40 acres (16 hectares) of garages overlooking a wetland outside Minneapolis. Here boomers hang out with their cars, watch sports on TV and commune with fellow auto enthusiasts. Eager to cash in on an accelerating trend, developers are throwing up car condos around the U.S., including a project with a 1.5 mile (2.4-kilometer) test track planned on the grounds of a defunct General Motors plant near Detroit.

Murphy paid $300,000 for his garage and invested about that again to kit it out. On the first floor a BMW M5 and Mercedes SL550 AMG share space with a slot-car track and two Ducati motorcycles. Upstairs is an 1,800-square-foot living space, with a full master suite where Murphy, his partner and their Siberian husky host parties and hang out.

“I’ve always been a car guy and I love this idea of a set of man caves — or people caves — where people got together of like minds and love cars,” said Murphy, a 54-year-old health-care executive, whose home garage was running out of space for his 10-vehicle collection. “We wanted to go with more of a homey feel than a garage feel.”

“This whole business model is based on the idea that baby boomers have this affinity for vehicles,” Silikowski said.

In the Highlands Ranch suburb of Denver, demand has been so strong for car condos at GarageTown that it opened a second development in the suburb of Ken Caryl. The first 84 units sold out so fast, they are adding 37 more. Walter Wood, 58, owns three units, for which he paid a total of about $500,000.

One unit is an homage to Elvis, with a 1950s-style diner and other memorabilia. Next door, his wife, a professional singer, re-created an 1800s saloon, complete with an old-West copper ceiling, where she sings karaoke and parties with pals. On the main floor, Wood stores his Chevrolet collection, which includes a 1953 pickup, a 1967 Camaro SS and two Corvettes.

The car condo trend is sufficiently far along for Hagerty Insurance, the world’s largest classic-car insurer, to offer policies covering garages and their contents. Hagerty estimates there are as many as 9 million collector vehicles in North America, ranging in value from $8,000 to eight figures.

The Thermal Club, now being constructed in Thermal, California, is much like a gated golf community, with a 4.5-mile racecourse standing in for 18 holes. Membership runs $85,000, with monthly dues of $1,600. Lots at the development, a half-hour drive from Palm Springs, range from $460,000 to $800,000 and the pre-designed floor plans start at $680,000. The Ascot design includes an elevator between condo and garage.

Now I’m the last person who wants to tell other people how they should or shouldn’t spend their own money. It’s yours and you can and should do whatever the heck you want with it. However, one important point that still needs to understood is that much of the excess baby boomer money sloshing around came to the baby boomers via a generational transfer of wealth to the present and away from the youth, via bailouts and QE driven manipulation of financial markets.

Furthermore, it’s been a much written about observation that millennials have very different values than the baby boomers. As such, these $600k “man-caves” are likely to end up as “ghost-caves” down the road. It will be another misallocation of precious capital. Something their kids won’t even care to use. Something that adds absolutely zero to the U.S. economy in the long-run.

We’ve seen some crazy signals of insanity already in 2014. From $1 million dollar parking spaces in Manhattan, to “car-condos.” I shudder to think about what comes next, before the latest stupidity bubble bursts.

  1. I’ve heard this Baby Boomer crap before. What it really means is that the writer of this article has been/is still indoctrinated in a way that plays into the divide and conquer pathology AKA the Hegelian Dialectic. Blaming a generation (or race, or any other group) for the sins of central banking is obtuse.

    Reply
    • Absolutely not, which is why I went out of my way to make two things explicit in the article.

      1) That kids don’t dislike their parents, and parents aren’t intentionally harming their kids (it’s unintentional, but it is still real). The Central Bank doesn’t operate on its own. People at Central Banks are making specific decisions, and those people are largely baby boomers.

      2) I went out of my way to highlight how wonderful my parents are, and they are boomers.

      You misinterpreted my article as trying to cause division. Rather, it is a prediction of a clash I believe will occur once millennials gain political power. You may not like the prediction, but please don’t mischaracterize the post because of your disagreement.

    • Lets agree to disagree (or agree on some things and not others) and perhaps allow me to clarify a few thoughts. First, I like your blog. Don’t always agree with your perspectives, but in general, its a good bit of work.

      I am not sure if I am a boomer or an x-er, I was born on the cusp and it depends on whom is putting whom in which group. Personally I don’t like definitions, because they are dividing. I would prefer to indicate that we are all human beings, some are younger and others are older.

      The “baby boomer’s did it” is not a new position, its been around for a while. Of course, so have boomers, only a lot longer. We had sex, drugs and rock-n-roll and were completely indoctrinated in collectivism, but we all worked hard. I shan’t harp. However, the same things happened to our parents and their parents and several generations before ours. They were the “old farts” who screwed it up for everyone else. We had Viet Nam, our parents had Korea, their parents had WWII and so on and so on.

      I will try cut it short. There is a war on “old farts” and it has been around for millenia, mainly fomented by sociopaths (call them collectivists to be nice, or Marxists or Globalists or whatever). The war is for resources and control and all of us are constantly fear mongered into believing in a scarcity meme which does not really exist, but has been a projected reality to a collective audience so that a few can control the masses, which has been going on long before boomers were ever born. I guess that an argument could be made that all old people live off the largess of young people (and have for millennia), but that might be a sociological issue that could be discussed and debated another day. Perhaps we could agree that a small group of parasites have been controlling and living off humanity and its been going on for generations and generations and is still going on?

      The boomers are stupid. Waking up, but stupid. We believed all the shit that we were told and to a certain extent, we still do. Our realities were created for us, but not necessarily by us. Same thing with our parents and their parents. All stupid and all living in a reality created especially for them. Basically, all people are stupid and there is a group of elites that realize this and take advantage of humanity and create realities for the masses.

      I appreciate your prediction and you’re probably right, there will be a clash because there always is. Our motto was “stick it to The Man”. Hopefully the Millennials are much smarter than their parents and grand parents and great grandparents. Personally, I don’t see it. I just see another generation of young idealists that think they are smarter then the prior generation without really knowing WTF they are are talking about (just like we did).

      I hope that the Millennials can fix all the stuff that the Boomers screwed up. The Boomers were not able to correct the sins of the Lucky Few and the Lucky Few were not able correct the sins of the Good Warriors. Not sure where the Xers fit in, but……………..

      Michael, keep up the good fight. Make it count. Aim small miss small (meaning, place the blame in the correct place)

    • Thank you for the follow up. As I am sure you are aware, I agree with all of your points and the entire heart and soul of this blog more or less discusses what you discussed above. Just because I decide to discuss what I see as an inevitable struggle between generations that has not yet really begun, doesn’t change that.

      I appreciate your readership and perspective.

      Best always

    • Your welcome Michael. Yes, there is a struggle between generations brewing, there was one when I was a youth (Can you please turn that damn music down?!:-). Perhaps a race struggle and a class struggle are upon us as well, as there was when I was a youth. We could ask if they are real or if they were artificially created; the answer is both. It is time for us all to “wake up”. We have a common enemy, it is not each other.

    • Again, I agree completely. There is nothing about my post that demonizes the baby boomers as the enemy. I just predict that millennials will be resentful and will steer things in their own self-interest once they get into positions of political power. These are just the facts as I see them, and me saying otherwise won’t prevent it from being true.

    • The change the title. There are very of us “babyboomers” who can afford to buy $660k titles. You nay as well title an article about zuckerberg’s house “Millennials millions for plush pads”.

  2. Generational sins are real but members of a generation are powerless to affect the flow of consequences. Aside from that, Boomers are acutely sensitive to blame for anything for two reasons: one, they refined “the rebellious child” through the social revolution of the 60s, and therefore could not POSSIBLY be guilty of institutional establishment sins; and two, as a result of the coddling of childhood in the 50s, their enormous collective ego is immune to self-criticism. That’s not to say We the GenXers are better; on the contrary, being the children of spoiled and egotistical Boomers has produced a generation of unique incompetence. But the fact remains, the Boomers will not be enjoying the stable retirement their parents experienced.

    Reply
  3. Its sad but true, our retirements shan’t be stable. The lively-hoods of our children and grandchildren shall diminish in comparison, hopefully for the better. We can only hope that our descendents find happiness and fullness in their lifetimes. My wish is that a new consciousness occurs and wisdom comes to humanity sooner and earlier than later. We all need to take responsibility for ourselves and our plights. As a collective, we should identify the negative energies that pervade our consciousness and cast those out, once and for all.

  4. Just discovered this blog, and very impressed by it too, but saddened by the comments. I agree with what’s been said, my sadness comes from the knowledge that what is playing out is inevitable and set in stone.

    I’m a boomer who has increasingly experienced this current generational backlash, and suffered frustration having “been there, done that” when I was growing up too, yet knowing that the cycle must repeat as it is probably as old as humanity itself.

    Rainmaker raises a good point, that this schism will be exploited for all it’s worth by a sinister uncaring elite. What’s worse is that the psyop control of the masses is far more sophisticated today than it ever was in the past, and that the old scapegoats such as religion, gender, sexual orientation and race are now considered taboo subjects in our politically correct, increasingly authoritarian society. That just leaves boring old farts like me to be scapegoated.

    I have been doing my best to prepare for a low pension, reduced healthcare (anyone calling for euthanasia yet?) future. At least if the worst happens I won’t be taken by surprise.

    Reply
  5. I also enjoy and most always agree with your viewpoints. Great blog!

    If there is a misperception in this article it is in what you said to Rainmaker (who I am also on board with)…

    “1) That kids don’t dislike their parents, and parents aren’t intentionally harming their kids (it’s unintentional, but it is still real). The Central Bank doesn’t operate on its own. People at Central Banks are making specific decisions, and those people are largely baby boomers.”

    To label these very few, self anointed elite, Xtrevilist aberrant sociopath members of the global banking cartel as ‘baby boomers’ serves only to mask their true extreme evil and their identities, denigrates the majority of baby boomers (who don’t have a prayer of ever having a luxury garage) and feeds the divisiveness as rainmaker pointed out.

    Rainmakers searching for a name; “(call them collectivists to be nice, or Marxists or Globalists or whatever)”, also speaks to the menticide at hand which has as and overriding aim; deflection from the piggish wealth and the sociopathic control they wield and discourages any accurate term to describe them and their immoral behavior. The term Xtrevilism serves the purpose as it keeps the focus on evil and sets the battlefield of discussion on morality. This is in its essence a moral war. A war of have against have not, rich against poor, Xtrevilism against Fairism.

    It is generational in its cumulative aggregation of power;

    • Thanks for the commentary. I agree that this is a moral war, a war of consciousness; however, saying it is “rich against poor” is as bad or worse than saying there is a battle between generations.

  6. Age is a natural difference that we all experience and that we have little choice or control over. To point out differences in age, and then amplify and demonize those differences, is like pointing out differences in skin color and then amplifying and demonizing those differences.

    Piggish wealth on the other hand, making use of excessive resources and misdirecting the use of those resources to the detriment of others, is an individual moral choice that is age and color blind.

    It is also impossible, given the state of corruption of the ‘rule of law’ in the world of today, to amass wealth on a level playing field.

    We exist in a system of forced complicity in crimecrumbunism, where, having no control over our corporate co-opted criminal government policy, we must be complicit in order to get our crumbs. It is those with the most piggish wealth who set that policy. That piggish wealth is a marker of their Xtrevilist immorality. In a sane and just moral world we would not only have speed limits, we would also have transparent and vigorously enforced greed limits.

    Deception is the strongest political force on the planet.

    Reply
    • All the same, in a world in which “it is also impossible, given the state of corruption of the ‘rule of law’ in the world of today, to amass wealth on a level playing field,” being rich or poor is NOT a choice, but increasingly a matter of who your parents are. I agree with that statement, thus wealth is VERY MUCH a natural difference at this stage in the American game.

      You clarified your point in the last comment, and I agree with it. In your initial comment you simply wrote “rich and poor,” which I reiterate is as much a generalization as you accused me of making.

      If you want to characterize the group that we are truly fighting against as “Piggish wealth on the other hand, making use of excessive resources and misdirecting the use of those resources to the detriment of others, is an individual moral choice that is age and color blind,” then we are in total agreement.

      That’s not rich vs. poor, that’s insanely greedy sociopaths vs. everyone else. Which, I agree is the root of the problem, since we used to have a rule of law to protect against these people. We no longer have that.

  7. I’m a baby boomer who valued the attempt of my generation to ask questions (Why do we do it that way just because it’s “always been done that way?” I supported looking for new ways to view the world and reality, but especially to examine the true nature of humanity’s relationship to the divine and to one another … “as one,” for instance, and to seek personal experience in union with God, rather than accepting what the tenets and dogma of religions taught. We could see they led to nothing but argument on the benign side, and war in the extreme.

    I saw what happened with the Savings & Loans in the 1980s. I don’t think that was the Boomers’ doing. And similar tactics have repeatedly damaged our society, people’s savings and pensions, and trust in banking and finance.

    I worked hard, finished my master’s degree with a reasonable $8K National Defense Act loan, and paid it back without too much pain. I worked until age 68 and retired this year. I have a small pension of $1500 a month and social security (which I never voted for, but was voted in while I was still in school) and paid for the “Greater Generation’s” retirement. I was told not to worry, I would also have social security to help me. And I do, around $1800 a month. But I feel guilty about it because the next generation feels burdened with my needs as I felt burdened with the “Greater Generation’s” needs.

    In summary, I have about $3300 a month to live on and feel lucky that I have that because so many around me work at the minimum wage and I don’t see how they survive and raise children. I don’t have children. It’s just me. I retired to a rural area because I couldn’t afford to retire where my last job was (Central California). And with a mortgage and car payment, food and utilities, I have on average about $400 spending money per month to plan for medical needs, emergencies and vacations.

    Every time I read an article that disparages the Baby Boomers and their deviant ways, their immorality, and their profligacy, I feel pained. Perhaps I’m a amongst a minority of Baby Boomers who hoped for a better life and who lived idealistically, even though we saw the powers that be sweep in and magnify the sex, drugs, and rock & roll, while simultaneously exploit those things wherever possible. This included the clothing market (one such minor example was bell bottom jeans and hippie clothing) providing a lucrative market for the capitalist centers of America. It seems there’s always some carpetbaggers in every age who don’t see beyond the profits to be made. Each new generation longs for a better world, but until we can get the stars out of our eyes and the fortitude into our voices and actions to demand and create change ourselves, and elect people who can put the rule of law into regulation, things will continue deteriorate. Those with power and money are not about to allow change. Now that they have massive weapons and drones what do local militias mean? They are a joke. Our Constitution and our Republic was a noble venture; but it has seen its day.

    Who has the answer?

    • Thank you for your thoughtful comment, and I certainly didn’t mean to pain you with my post. I really tried hard not to make this come across as an attack on generations that would make people feel bad individually. I really just wanted to point out what I see coming. There really isn’t any denying the fact that the youth are being left with a horrible situation, and there’s no denying it was left to them by those that came before.

  8. All good stuff here. Great diatribe. John and Warren, I appreciate your sarcastic wisdom. Michael, saying it is “rich against poor” is as bad or worse than saying there is a battle between generations. Completely true, I agree wholeheartedly. Where does that leave us? Having to choose the lesser of two evils? No matter what, the choice is always evil. Warren, thank you for saying the E word. No one does and no one will. We are all driven to choose something that is bad for us and then we rationalize what we chose that’s bad or wrong and vilify that choice against someone else’s bad or wrong choice.

    Michael, I follow your blog because you are smart and articulate. You have railed against the establishment and you are moving in the right direction. You are the future and the hope that might, just maybe, come from the generations that will have the strength and ability to throw off the yoke of “happy servitude”. And then I come back to reality. We are all stuck in the Matrix.

    You are correct Michael, millennials will be resentful (and obviously are resentful even though its not time yet to be resentful) and will steer things in their own self-interest once they get into positions of political power. Boomers will be left out in the cold. Let me put this in context. A new group of narcissists, angrier (with good reason) than the prior generation of angry narcissists are going to use political power to commit patricide on an older generation because a small group of evil elitists have strip mined the world of all assets and the heavens of our souls. Satan will be so proud, Eugenics on an institutional level.

    Instead, we should all be pissed off. Pissed off at what was done to our Parents and Grand Parents and Great Grand Parents. Pissed off at what is being done to our Children and Grandchildren. Pissed off at what was and is being done to us. We should all be really pissed off. And not at our stupid parents for unintentionally harming us (Boo Hoo, poor us). We should all be pissed off at those blood sucking sonofabitches who have brainwashed all of humanity (yes, that means me and you and EVERYONE has been indoctrinated), those insane fricks who are strip mining and terra forming the world and who worship Mollech. Instead in all humility and introspection, besides being pissed off I am going to beg forgiveness for participating.

    We should all be pissed off TOGETHER at the same sonofabitches.

    And Michael, I’m rooting for you and those generations. And not the least bit pissed off at any of the younger generations. You are our children and grandchildren. You are the future.

  9. I agree with the article completely . In fact , I think it understates how big the political divide will become. I’m 49 , and I realize that my parent’s generation , although to be commended for many great accomplishments, also burned my generation with their government mandates such as Social Security, The Great Society welfare handouts, etc. These programs, for me, have and will have the opposite of their intended effects.
    My generation has turned around and burned the millennials with even more government debt (this process didn’t begin until around 1980) , failed social programs, shockingly bad public school systems, collapse of moral standards , and yes, even more brain washing.
    My prediction is that the millennials will start to see bitcoin as “their” currency (many already are) . They can eventually vote in politicians who will pay off their student loans and solve their other problems with more printed dollars . This is already starting to happen . When the dollar collapses, the millennials will be using bitcoin , the baby boomers will be holding their own worthless dollars . Fair is Fair.
    It’s a perfect scenario for them. They get to unburden themselves of the massive public debt, and simply tell the Boomers they are a victim of their own government failures and the rise of digital technology. “Sorry.” . (But not really). Politicians will eventually abandon the Boomers and the Bankers (the Dollar) , and embrace the millennials (Bitcoin). How long this will take to play out is directly influenced by how corrupted the ballot system is, but it will happen at some point, one way or the other.
    The big questions are : How much violence and oppression is the government willing to use to hold onto it’s power to monetarily abuse it’s citizens ? The degree of public misinformation, prosecutorial attacks, selective enforcement of laws, and ballot box corruption is already high. Some of the government statements are laughable , very banana republic sounding. Do I even need to give examples ?
    Another question. Will the individual states start to seize back their constitutional sovereignty once the Federal government is in a weakened state ?

  10. looks like you touched on a nerve and went on the defensive.

    you have to pick and choose your battles . writing an article about wasteful fuckers who have money because they are older , worked all their lives, and unknowingly benefited from a 40 years price structure that was upheld by federal reserve fiat bubblenomics——–which they had no hand in choosing to do, but simply bought into it —-

    well, that’s not where the real action is. people with a few million bucks worth of housing/property are not the systemic issue. they are kulaks, landed peasantry. people like these can actually be helpful in being libertarian when the ax of big government confiscation comes down. why , because they are under the impression, and rightly so, that they worked their asses off most of their lives and ‘deserve’ what they own.

    the people who believe in private property and anti-confiscation are a bulwark.

    your sentiments you expressed in this article, are based on false assumption themselves tainted by the tone of your jealousy a tone which is underscored by your conspicuous self explanation in the beginning of your article ; ” i’m not a hater, but….”

    that stuff is always very transparent and when you write something like that, you should read it over first and question yourself before publishing.

    FINALLY—WHAT I REALLY CAME HERE TO COMMENT ON, IS THAT I’D LIKE TO SEE YOU WRITE AN ARTICLE ANALYZING MARTIAL LAW , THE STRIPPING OF AMERICANS’ RIGHTS, WITH RESPECT TO THE ‘THREAT’ OF EBOLA.

    the government response to ebola, at least on the federal level, is going to be looking ever more like another control grab. and i’m curious as to see your take on it.

    • Great post. I need to point out that being a Wasteful Fucker is not generationally specific, same as being a Stupid Fuck is not generationally specific. And being WF or SF can also cross racial, class and party lines as well. These are diseases than can afflict anyone and everyone. And being a F’er might not be the correct abstract noun as it implies malicious intent. Dumb Ass or Dumb Shit or Ass Wipe might be more accurate. My wife prefers Asshole when accurately describing me and its difficult to argue the point. Sarcasm aside, I must admit to being wasteful and stupid most of my life (I’m trying to get better but those “virtues” were instilled at a young age) and I challenge anyone to deny affliction of the same maladies. Thank God we have opposing thumbs and can learn from our mistakes.

      This is interesting, several forms of E have been patented:

      Our rights have already been stripped, we just don’t know it yet, or we just won’t admit it yet.

      E infection is probably a plan C or D in case the public cannot be persuaded to support more war.

    • I touched a nerve, listened to commentary and responded to it in a open-minded and conversational and non-confrontational manner. Perhaps I’m being “defensive,” but you seem to see my engagement with readers who disagree as a negative.

      Moving along to your response, it starts off great and productive and then you go ahead and make yourself looks foolish. Whereas you have every right to disagree with what I say and my ideas, you have no right to make stuff up. You really have no right to make stuff up and then congratulate yourself for noting something to be “transparent,” when the entire idea is completely made up by you.

      Unlike the other readers who fairly critiqued my ideas and points, you claim I am jealous, yet I have absolutely nothing to be jealous of. You don’t know this of course, because you don’t know anything about me beyond what I write, but yet you think you’re some sort of Sherlock Holmes or shrink, but are merely talking out of your ass. Since you made the claim, what am I jealous of? I assure you, you have no idea what you are talking about.

      I appreciate the commentary, but stick to the facts. You have no idea what you are saying when it comes to me.
