Do you think you will ever educate the members to use correct grammar & spell correctly, we are never to old to learn.

Not a hope in hell, Shirley! Like nailing custard to the wall.
Totally agree NP.native pepper wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 1:07 pm Trumps logic is the same as all dictators, split the population, create confusion, blatantly lie, pass blame to everyone but themselves and the results will flow for them.

You only need to look at the state of the planet's societies to see that reality.
I think you are talking about Socialist Policy. We are nearing the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the most recent Socialist disaster. It takes a Tyrant to draw together the power of Socialism and we are about 13 years off that centenary.native pepper wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 1:07 pm Trumps logic is the same as all dictators, split the population, create confusion, blatantly lie, pass blame to everyone but themselves and the results will flow for them.

Ray, I suspect a cunning plan. It is well known that you have a great number of boot-lasts. So many that a few missing would go un-noticed. You live near the River Murray. If Joy ever goes missing .........!Greynomad wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 12:46 pm Brucie,
In boot lasts (aka: shoe lasts) there appears to be no ‘standard’, just a general agreement on what’s needed.
There are two basic types: (a) those with child’s, ladies’ & men’s sized whole-foot lasts; and (b) those with a ladies’, men’s whole-foot and a heel-post.
Some have half-foot & heel-post.
There’s no rules about how they are cast: all in one; two on one plane with the whole third post welded on; third post cast with heel-top welded, etc.
And the angles and arrangement of lasts seem to follow Rafferty’s Rules.
Branding by manufacturers is optional.
I have (currently) 14 lasts on display, with another four awaiting restoration. (Thank you Dot & George)
No two are identical!
I even have a half-size last which I found in an op-shop in Bundaberg. Never found another like it.
I also have a ‘left-handed’ last, with the heel-post vertical, the other lasts face the opposite direction to the majority. The heel-post also faces the ‘wrong’ way.

No, not talking about socialist policy, no one really knows what it means and like all ideologies, it relies upon elitism being in control. Trump is a denialist dictator, well past his use by date and we are seeing the results of the ideologically religious clinging desperately to a dying way of life. Ideological elitism of every description relies upon suppressive controls, all guised in the mantra of equality, caring and supposed love. When the historical and current facts surrounding all ideologies is the opposite, throughout history ideology has strived for total control using every suppressive and deranged method they can think of. Today the only difference is in the weaponry they use, nothing else has changed. Democracy is just another con job, like all ideological claims, it promises one thing yet provides and supports the total opposite.SteveW wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 8:20 amI think you are talking about Socialist Policy.

The way of the world; Tyranny, Dictator, Benelovant Dictator, Democracy, Socialism, Anarchy - Repeat. We are on the comma at the end of Democracy right now.
Ummm...... The Covid spread has already been traced back to the sources, and it wasn't from any rallies, so trying to put the blame onto a protest rallies is just as bad as some of the nonsense president clown spews out.
