Critch, I was unaware of the origins of DLST, That's ironic because my dad was a full time farmer, by full time I mean it was his sole occupation, and he hated it. He said that farmers have to work until dark anyway and this extended his workday and gave city people another hour to play golf. <br />GypsyTygerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-47788021384233723772017-03-13T23:57:27.349-04:002017-03-13T23:57:27.349-04:00All you folks in the northeast be careful....All you folks in the northeast be careful....Critchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07106908233705403513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-89479592075715957272017-03-13T22:11:45.509-04:002017-03-13T22:11:45.509-04:00Critch - I agree with you.

Oh, the feminists may LOVE it now, but the first reaction was "really, you used a little girl? Whaddya think, we are all little girls who <i>[spew, spew, spew]</i>you stupid, you misogynist sexist patriarchal pig, you!!!" or something like that. They wanted it removed immediately.

In fact, if you wade into the bullsh*t the sisters are spewing at each other over this, you will see the general formula: capitalism = oppression of women and minorities. The bull means capitalism. Ergo, the bull is a simple of oppression.<br /><br />Of course, that is historically wrong, economic garbage, and doesn't even understand what the bull actually symbolizes, but then "strong" does not mean "bright" "knowledgeable" or "competent."AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-32689648347226154672017-03-13T09:07:08.642-04:002017-03-13T09:07:08.642-04:00Anthony, What he did doesn't matter actually. ...Anthony, What he did doesn't matter actually. He's irrelevant... just some drunk. What matters is how some nobody has a joke with a statue and all these "strong" women break down into tears and shrieks of "crimes against women" on every snowflake web-ezine. What does that tell us about their claim to be strong, unfraid and ready for the world if a single drunk can bring their world crashing down?<br /><br />People do stupid crap with statues, religious symbols, flags, etc. all the time, usually with the specific intent of hurting the people who support the item, and only a handful of people ever flip their lids (and they are usually people trying to win an audience, i.e. talk radio, a local minister, etc.). Other people might be offended, but it doesn't cause any sort of panic or paranoia or crisis of faith.<br /><br />In terms of the statue, it was only erected (<i>snicker</i>) a week or so back.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-68647284705097287282017-03-13T08:54:34.909-04:002017-03-13T08:54:34.909-04:00Critch, Clearly you worked in the other Wall Stree...Critch, Clearly you worked in the other Wall Street, the one where they don't seek to oppress women and blacks and poor people as their goal.

They probably think the bull is symbolic of Wall Street greed, exploitation, patriarchy, and all the other leftist boogeymen. It doesn't look like the message took, though if I was the guy in the picture I'd make sure my personal information is secure...
