Quote from: TDoS on Oct 13, 2026, 05:02 PMI only ever discovered foaming at the mouth and hating anyone who dared contradict it when I ran into the true beleivers of peak oil.

Oh come on.  You never discovered ANYONE who was a Mouth Foaming Racist from the 60s to the 80s anywhere in Amerika? 

Oh please. Of course I've bumped into rascists, KKK supporters, howl at the moon religious nutters, it was Applachia! Some of those coal miners were foul mouthed ignorant and weren't all that thrilled working with "black boys". Others could care less, as long as they pulled their weight underground. I've also met racist PhD's, and PhD's who firmly believed in Bigfoot roaming the wilds. And PhD's who couldn't figure out peak oil any better than high school drop outs. It takes all types, and all types exist. Intelligience as it turns out doesn't preclude folks from being nutters, racists, religious zealots, etc etc.

A conclusion I was quite surprised by when I finally reached it. Always thought brains would work things out. My mistake.

Quote from: REYou missed George Wallace when he ran for POTUS? 

Probably. Don't recall ever hearing about him being mentioned up North. I might venture that Jim Crowe wasn't a northern Appalachian thing, compared to the more southernly version.

My best friend in high school was black. Never struck me as weird, no one ever hassled me about it, racism wasn't something I can recall being a thing.

Quote from: REYou missed it when the KKK burned the crosses and the black kids in Mississippi? 

Don't recall that one at all.

Quote from: REIt took until Peak Oil for you to discover hatred in the FSoA? 🙄
RE

Where do you get "hatred"? Halfwits pretending to be geologists, geologists who don't know engineering, engineers who don't know economics or geology, these have nothing to do with hatred of the USA, racism, or politics. Halfwits are just....halfwits.
