God Bless America, huh? The sleeping giant that was awakened.

Everyone is entitled to have a different perspective on any given issue and is free to voice their individual perspective accordingly. Also, as has been demonstrated here in this thread a thousand times over, anyone with a keyboard can come here and say anything they want, true or otherwise and nobody will stop them. So basically one can choose to see things any way they wish to. Of course, the mind usually sees what it wants to see. If one is looking for flaw one will find flaw. If one is seeking only negative one will surely find just that. But what shapes one’s thinking and thus determines one’s subsequent perspective?
It is detrimental to one’s perspective to form one’s opinions while one’s thought process resides in a bubble of time that exists only in the present and is focused only on one series of brief events. I am a bit of a history buff myself and I am reminded of the Japanese military/empire mentality circa Dec 1941-1944. After attacking Pearl Harbor and all but annihilating America’s Naval warships the Japanese considered themselves victorious in every way and they thought collectively that America was basically beaten. Never in their wildest imaginings could they have possibly envisioned the subsequent, pivotal battle at Midway or those two fateful, inevitable days in August 1945 nearly four years later, when two atom bombs were dropped and a quarter of a million of their people would be instantly vaporized, leading directly to their inevitable defeat and humiliating, unconditional surrender. They couldn’t possibly know that these things *would* happen. But I think America had the plan all along and pretty much knew what it would eventually do. But if the Japanese were a little less overconfident then perhaps they could have at least realized that it *could* happen. Point is, the Japanese were incredibly ignorant of America’s strengths, America’s abilities and it’s great potential. They were also arrogantly overconfident of their own power and way too quick to judge the series of brief events existing only in a short bubble of time. The only sad thing really is that they got a lot of innocent people killed due to their flawed, overconfident thinking.
God Bless America, huh? The sleeping giant that was awakened. Of course this in no way implies that Japan was weak. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Unlike other arrogant, overconfident countries/peoples Japan actually had real power.
Now, I already know that most of the overconfident individuals that frequent this thread will come after my post and say, “See! That’s just what Damian would say! I heard him say that once! I rest my case!” lol. Well of course it is. Anything I write would fall into that category because that’s what they need it to be. This is what one would call a “Self-fulfilled prophesy”. It will always be exactly what they need it to be. I could come on here and post that I always wear a purple hat to retrieve my daily mail and they would then post, “See! Damian always wore a purple hat to go to his mailbox!!”. And then they would present/invent a star witnesses or two that had actually seen him in his purple hat at his mailbox. They’ll probably locate a picture of a scummy pimp in a purple hat at his mailbox and testify that it is me lol.
If they also want to believe that I am “coming unraveled”, or that that I am unnerved, or that I am a beaten man that is losing his grip on reality, that’s fine too. Makes no difference to me what they believe, actually. In a very real way it is actually much to my advantage the weaker they think I am. If that is the scope and depth of their reality then I couldn’t be happier. Very ironic though since there are only two people currently in this thread that have their thinking based in impenetrable reality and one of them is me. (no, the other one is not Dave Lawson/Crosbey). That second person, like everyone else here made his/her own conscious choice to come here and post as he/she has done. But that’s perfectly fine. That’s his/her choice. And God bless America, huh? Choices are free!
Y’all take care now,
David Beauchemin

lucille said:I just Mapquested and there is not a good zoom in image although it seems fairly rural from the imaging they do have; surely there must be some Fauna friend that lives close by to go take a pic?
Mapquest shows that he lives very near a fire station, we got any firefighters here?
Wraith said:The problem with the aerial maps is that even if you provide an exact address they don't let you actually give you a map for that exact location. The maps are "offset" from the actual location to varying degrees..maybe a few houses or a block or whatever. I've used various mapping sites with my own address and it's funny just how far off they can be.

crotalusadamanteus said:True, but I'm a Surveyor by trade, and I have software that pinpoints addresses, Latitudes, longitudes, and other stuff. Actually in this case, it disagreed with Google by a lot or two going S/E. Pointed right at the driveway of this place.
Is that a white ford dually in the driveway off to the side of the "facility"? Doesn't look like it hits that trail leading to the road very much. Can't get pulled over if you don't drive. Hmmm How many buildings were mentioned earlier from the poster who actually seen the place? Two I think it was.
Yup, looks like a facility and pig farm to me.![]()
