[LUAU] OT: Looking for networks

[Jim Roby]

Aloha from the Big Island,I would imagine all the good jobs are up on 
Mauna Kea,and that is a double edged sword.A buddy of mine worked for 
Canada France for quite a few years untill the
constant sea level to 13 thou feet took it's toll on his nasal 
'alignment'.The up side is unlimited money and smart folks to work 
with.The work is at 13 thou,the living area is at 9 thou and 
administrative offices are at sea level.Look closely.

 You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it or who says it.
                   -Malcolm X

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
                   -James Madison

"This so-called ill treatment and torture in detention centers, stories of which were spread everywhere among the people, and later by the prisoners who were freed ... were not, as some assumed, inflicted methodically, but were excesses committed by individual prison guards, their deputies, and men who laid violent hands on the detainees."
                  -Rudolf Hoess, the SS commandant at Auschwitz

 The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders...tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.
                   -Herman Goerin

There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
                   -General Smedley Butler,USMC
