ps. Bonny, sorry about the cow.:( Was she ill, or was it a accident?
The veterinary said Big Mama (the cows name) had a broken spine. She could of fallen off the trail & injured herself, the pasture is flat land along a creek with a sharp trail to the hills on top. She had twin calfs which we rounded up & bought home. It is a bummer Big Mama was a good mother & we will miss her.

There is fresh water for them to drink in the water tank. They are settling in & called for Big Mama some today when the other cows came up for water. They think she is in with the herd here at home. We have them close to our house & keep an eye on them to make sure they are eating. Thanks for your concern. :)
Im SHOCKED, SHOCKED I say SHocked even. I guess I shouldnt be suprised that the Mayors brother can edit other members quotes when I would get banned (or is it band?) for doing such a thing. Shocking I say.Quote:

He hasn't edited anyone's post, he doesn't have any privileges other than normal members have. Paul and I are the only one that have privileges to edit anything, as has been the case for a long time.
I believe what Blue was referring to is when I quoted Bonny but edited the references to the current administration to include the proper titles for the sitting President and Attorney General.
There was no editing of content, just changed the titles to show proper respect for the offices in question.
Maybe my post wasnt over the top enough, or maybe it was and I missed the mark. I have done what LH has done in this thread, editing Quotes, and I was told that was unacceptable and a bandable offence (or is it bannedable?), sorry Karen I have cleaned out my PM box so I no longer have proof of this by way of PM's from you. Either way I take this whole thread in good fun and good ribbing from our criminal siblings from below the equator. Good show Wom, good show. *Golf clap*
Oh, he meant editing the content of a quoted post - technically anyone can do that, and it is good, because that way we can quote, for example, just the sentence we are responding to, not a whole long post. It is just not permitted to change the content of a quote to make it look like someone said something they did not.
Does that clarify things?
I need an answer to my question. Why does Richard get to use BO which I thought was an abbreviation & I can't? I didn't even notice the change until Blu mentioned it.
Because we had a family meeting and decided it was time to pick on you.
Who knows who it's going to be next week. We pick the names out of a hat, and you never know who the next victim is going to be.
I never scolded you for that, it is an abbreviation, for goodness sake.Quote:

All right! :eek: All right!:eek: Yes, for God sake it was an abbreviation. :eek: There was JFK & LBJ & I don't know BO's middle initial?
Have you even drawn your own names from the hat? :D
Bummer.Quote:

Im not watching anything you find interesting without Cliff notes.
Cliffnotes with reference to bananas
Political power can simply be defined as the power to influence. The power to influence is essentially the power to control. When pertaining to political matters, the most influential people in any form of government have the most power. The underlying argument is between who has the most influence. Is it the elite or the majority? There are four theories of who truly governs. The first theory is clearly elitist. Karl Marx has said that all government in any way shape or form is controlled by whichever class dominates the economy. In all societies there is an economic struggle between two major classes. Although the working class is the majority they have the least political power. This is solely because they have less money than the bourgeoisie. The bourgeoisie on the other hand dominate the working class economically simply because they own the factories where the working class work. The theory also represents the government as a machine designed to favor to the dominant classes interest. This is why a Marxist would believe that it is pointless to study a government because it has none of its own power. It runs on whoever feeds it, and in this case it is the bourgeoisie. The second theory is most similar to the first. It states that the nongovernmental elite has the most political power. This time when I mention elite it goes beyond the bourgeoisie. This elite is composed of corporate leaders, high ranking military officers, and a small group of political leaders. Other groups can be added, such as the leaders of the media, labor leaders and the heads of special interest groups. Many more groups can be added but the basic underlying idea of this theory is that a very small group of high status officials not involved in government contain the majority of political power. The third theory tends to sway from the first two theories. It states that political power is concentrated within some of the people who actually run the government, the bureaucrats. Because the bureaucrats are appointed officials it separates itself even farther apart from the other theories. The bureaucrats are only influenced by the people that appoint them. This is why the political power is contained within the government. The fourth and final theory can be described as a combination of the first three theories. It delves into the dominance of power between the elite themselves. All of the elite groups have a certain amount of political control, and they themselves are responsive to their follower?s interests. Their followers being the majority have the most political power in this theory because they influence the elite. If the majority isn?t happy the elite wont be elite anymore. Majoritarian and Elitist politics represent two ends of the spectrum of political thought. The four theories of who governs is clearly an elitist?s point of view. The majority is influenced by the mass media, and it is rare to find anyone with their own ideas. The majority is told what they want, and the monkeys get the bananas. :p:p
Thats still way to much reading this late or early.
Summarize damnit!!
How about this............???
