See I joke about whacking and karma catches up with me.

I know Dingus. A long reach indeed. (Now that I recall the attacker was chanting something like, "Dingus, Dingus, Charlie Mingus, Paddy will not have anymore fingers to play the piano or the bass.")

I could be imagining that though. And I don't play the bass. ;-)

And while I'm at it....added fluoride to drinking water lowers children's IQ.
But again, not when I say it does cuz that's a conspiracy theory.
Harvard study

It's pretty obvious that if NWO2 read that study he didn't understand what was measured or how it is or is not relevant to fluoridation in the US.

I have read it and I do understand it. It doesn't show what NWO2 claims it shows.

Wow that's awful, Patrick. Take good care. I hope recovery is swift and I hope the son of a bitch who did it is brought to justice.

Timid, one of my best and closest friends I grew up with, Brian, he worked the field, mainly faults, for Pigs, Goats and Elephants.

He started out of the Walnut Creek (Boulevard Way) depot/yard. Transferred up to Humboldt (1995, I helped him and his family move to McKinleyville)

In December 2008, I took Jennie home to California to meet family and friends. I had money, lots of it. I put Andy and Mary Jo up in Yosemite Lodge for three days.

In Napa, I paid for Brian, Cindy and the two girls. We were sitting in the hotel in Napa, Brian and I shooting the bull, as we had not seen each others for years.

"Patrick, working the field for PG&E in Walnut Creek is one thing, but up in Humboldt, one goes out and stumbles on a pot patch and then the next thing threatened with a gun levelled at you."

"Scary, Brian."

I wonder if the pot growers use Smart meters, hah hah. Besides polluting the creeks and streams.

Thank Spiny, nah, the law is sure who did it, but there will be no prosecution, as far as I can see.

These crooks are clever. But then so was Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot… didn't make them right though.

Nah, Spiny. In 1997, I was jumped by the village nutter (well, the whole family were nutters, hated and despised in Enniskerry, take my word for it, it is true).

I would not serve him a drink (I was working an unpaid internship towards my masters, in the Department of Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht, when Michael D was minister - now president of Ireland, one of the few politicians I would ever trust. a very good man and person).

I needed money so I took the bar job in the pub at nights and weekends.

This Tommy ("you think he is bad, wait until you meet the mother," I was told. Whatttttt!!!)

He jumped me. I would not serve him a drink. Ruptured right shoulder joint capsule, multiple abrasions and contusions.

Everybody, but everybody in the village, wanted me to press charges, including Joe the sergeant (Garda) and Jerry, the Garda detective.

(Tommy was already on a suspended sentence for aggravated assault, put a guy in a wheelchair for the rest of his life).

I just wanted out of there. Tommy had an extended (sicko) family who threatened me. Some of the village folk said: "Don't worry about them, we'll take care of them."

No, I just got out within a week, moved to Dun Laoghaire.

EDIT

They liked me in Enniskerry, and why not. I was friendly, happy. Always willing to help when I could. I got along great, bar the Harveys.

After I was attacked there was a family (seven sons) who saw me bleeding and beat up, they said they would get Tommy. I told them, "No".

Several years later, Tommy and his brother ended up in prison. Another story to tell, not a personal one though, but they "messed" up, their headcase dad (not as bad as the mother) tried to send them away to England, but the law caught up with them before they could make the journey across the Irish Sea. Thankfully.

Okay, I did not want this to be political thread, but I suppose by the subject matter alone, it is.

It was not my intention. But as my mom always used to say, "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

Okay, here is my drift. I was attacked, it could happen anywhere in this world. The San Bernardino killings, sounds like a couple of deranged people, with maybe a tint of Islamic fundamentalism, who knows. Time will show and the truth well out. Is Dominionism any better?

To me, ISIS will be defeated, but there will always be nutcases out there, whether they use religion or another excuse, we cannot totally protect against them, even if we lived in a totalitarian state. It could be such a state would even bring out more fanaticism.

My worry, in the long run, are people like Putin, the Chinese leadership, North Korea and Donald Trump.

Headcases all, who do not care about the people. But their own so-called "destinies".

It is frightening. Such power in such hands.

I have interviewed presidents and prime ministers. It never ceases to amaze me how "right" they are, how dogmatic, how obstinate. How they…

Oh, what the heck, c'est la vie.
