  Morning T | Elettra Wiedemann

  
  She is a pretty woman.
  
  She models. Clothing is work for her. She will wear what she likes on her own time. She has much to choose from. Her mind is full of her work.
  
  She seems more concerned with eating
  in her restaurant than in running it.

  Simplest Roast Chicken

  I can deal with this easily.
  I have not the audience for it most days.
  The iron skillet is available at the local hardware.
  They run less than twenty bucks. Less from the Chinese.
  I don't get real paranoid about iron I put it away warm, dry and oiled and wash it before use with dish washing liquid. oil and heat.
  
  Mother owns one but I will take that as part of my inheritance.
  No time soon.

  Is Social Security a Ponzi Scheme? - Room for Debate

  No fraud is involved, but the system uses money from new investors to pay earlier investors. How is it different from a Ponzi scheme?

  
  

  At least two ways.  

  The program is tax supported.  

  I have never heard a tax called a personal investment.  

  Calling the funds an investment is profoundly in error.

  If there is no investment, there are no investors.

  The fund makes no promise of a return of capital.  

  The money in the fund is not the property of the taxpayers.

  The recipients of payments are entitled to receive payments proportional to the taxes paid and the intervening inflation or they were promised payments by congress.  The payments are an entitlement. 

  The payments are secured by the full faith and credit of the United States.

  The Sky Cowboys

  I would have loved to join the club.
  The views are thrilling. I am not a Mohawk by any stretch.
  Steel and bolts are probably the cheapest way to put up a structure.

  Hearing Rumors of a Plot, Cities Make Their Security Forces Seen

  Homeland Security is trying to excuse their existence.
  They have done no good so far.
  Let us end them. A spending cut.

  Will Online Faith Communities Replace Churches? - Room for Debate

  Can online communities like Jesus Daily take the place of offline religious life, like what happens at synagogues and churches?

   No.          All churches are communities.

  Church goers are not hermits.  

  Only a hermit would be happy with on line alone.

  Bible reading is not fashionable most places.

  Near illiteracy is fashionable.
