Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

I’m pretty sure that the TSA would screw up the management of immigration too. The ones I’ve met are dickheads beyond compare who simply love to fondle people. If they don’t start out that way they’ll become that way.
I was forced to fly last week and I had a D shaped combination lock that I placed in my luggage with a couple of USB cords to charge my cell phone. I was in a Southern airport and the TSA was all black. They spent 15 minutes looking at the X-ray of the lock and cords and then sent two guys over to frisk me. Playing “stump the dickheads” is fun, except for the fondling part.
I often fly through Spokane, and lately I am getting pulled aside so they can inspect the snacks in my shoulder bag. I thought maybe they were searching for pot edibles, but, no, a baggie full of chocolate covered raisins resemble fissionable material.
TSA is simply a nicely uniformed job for the marginally employable. They vote to keep it,which is the purpose.
Hi, Anon. Spokane: my point of origin for any flight.
Any time in the past three years inspecting my bag of raisins would’ve been a deal-breaker. My health is better, now, and so this first time insult 2 weeks ago went into my life’s book of ignominy without ruining my day.
I get my gear inspected almost every trip. My box of pastels looks a hundred and ten percent like a bomb.
I agree the TSA is past its due date. What makes me even madder is the airlines. The generation of executives now in power have all 9-11 mentalities, and do not remember when fliers could choose from a number of flights and routes: it was a market-oriented environment. Now it’s a goddamned Soviet style business environment. Peanuts, trash-sorting, green preaching, no flights, passenger beatings (although in retrospect that one was pretty entertaining).
Any real business executive would know that it is time to flesh-out the flight choices, compete with prices, and go after the market. It is so ripe. They might start with putting actual fucking gas in their vehicles. The cost savings of that alone would cover the overhead, but the increase in travel would seem like the Midas touch.
Why the hell aren’t I an airline CEO? I tell you what. When you make it to 60, and you’ve been around business and the market for awhile, you begin to see how very small these suits are. I’d give my eye teeth to be in the boardroom at United for just 10 minutes and with the microphone. Oh my God the blood would flow.
Hello to all, the contents existing at this website are in fact awesome for people knowledge, well, keep up the nice work

“How to slow and stop the border invasions without machine guns”
WHY?
It’s a invasion in there numbers. Someone(Z) is Financing this, setting up a Logistical Base and providing routing.
That requires Belt Feds and Miniguns.
