Gorgeous !
Prior to the Federal Reserve Act, no political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American People into one common mass of slaves. Yet, this is exactly what has happened under Social Security, by creating a revenue base for the collection of interest on a fictitious national debt owed to the Federal Reserve banks, in other words, slavery to the national debt under the so-called 14th Amendment.
Thanks. My mother in law sent me that in an email and I like it a lot.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. What aspect about the picture do you really enjoy? The cold stone walls of a home, nestled into some kind of forest with a pair of strokers gliding by? Or is it the calm lake, to begin with?
"Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves." -- Ronald Reagan, circa 1977
why, of course he was thinking; "I love this picture because when I post it to forum I will get stimulating interrogatory from that smart buckeroo fella." But of course, you knew that already; right?
Is that on Lake Tahoe?
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ... We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." Edward Bernays, Father of Public Relations
I like the whole picture. I think all the elements work well together. It seems serene, peaceful, calm. All things I enjoy very much.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I wish I knew where it was and had the money to buy it or replicate it.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
Well, at first glance it just gave me evil thoughts of tipped over canoes and wet shirts on squealing shapely young human females. I didn't actually look at the house and woods until I playfully decided to comment on your question.
How do you account for the appearance of the formidable JAWS on the steps?

Just another sign of your obvious mental issues.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. There are a few castles on Lake Tahoe.....but they aren't giving them away. : )

I have no idea. I know of places that it could be, some not far from where I used to live (and that I miss very much).
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Oh, I'm sure. If I had a place like that I wouldn't give it away either except in my will to my loved ones.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. What are you babbling about now? "JAWS on the steps?" Have another shot and look at it some more. Maybe you will see the pink elephants and the unicorns.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. You really don't see the stuff you posted.. and you ask me to explain away your interpretation of your own intimidating picture? Did you notice the fine folks in the canoe staring at the "TEETH" of the upward stairs?

Buck paints quite a vivid
picture. The reader is left with the impression that he has experience opening
up his kamono to whomever his name is....
I am glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that. Hilarious.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I never have even worn one, let alone opened it up for anyone. But you will have to overlook buck, the way most everyone else does. He sees things that aren't there you know. Then starts yammering about them. Next thing you know he will be talking 'bout the glorious wee people and how he has caught one.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Of course I saw what I posted you nimrod! I even re-sized the picture.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Well, he's just moody because he was drinking when he told his real estate agent he wanted a house in a red light district and the poor guy got him to sign a check for a down payment, and put his John Hancock on a mortgage for a red light house. Once you know the background to one of his "make my day" questions, they often make a whole lot more sense, bless his warm heart and sharp mind.
LOL thanks for that one!
You're thinking of the Vikingsholm Castle in Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe. That was my first thought too, but I don't think it's the same place. I pinged someone that probably knows.
I just viewed images of Thousand Island but I didn't find one that had those massive rocks on the shoreline. However, I did see some lovely castles. : )

Thanks Big Meanie. That one is lovely, but that wasn't the one I was thinking of when I posed the question. Although, the trees are similar. : ) What made me think Lake Tahoe is those massive rocks on the shoreline....many of the beaches at Tahoe are actually man made where the rocks were removed and the sand was hauled in.

(concatenated from several posts on this thread) I love the ethic, the objective demeanor you present. Oh God ... Oh God

Shouldn't that be vice versa?

Where is the love in this world, OI? Should we scoot by in some unidentified retreat on a lake, looking at the world around us? What does that really mean to our existence while the US government wants to crush us?

Zip me some pics Eric.......please. : ) I simply did a quick image search for Thousand Islands and I didn't see any shoreline like the one posted. I didn't view the Great Lakes or St. Lawrence though.

Cool house. Looks like the jaws may be at the top of the entrance to a cave.
Reckon that is why he stays "lost in space" as it were?
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. No anger allowed in that picture.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. LOL!
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Thanks. People see all kinds of things in pictures I reckon.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Yeah... a nice tranquil picture of a stone cold rock house on the lake with jaws inviting nice little Americans into it. Reminds me of that movie .... Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Thanks Eric. Some lovely pics....What a beautiful place. I especially like the ones in the fall where the leaves are changing colors.

There's neat old building here in Indy built in that same style. It was originally a gas station, but built to mimic the architecture of the then upscale neighborhood. It's at 3758 central ave, indianapolis; I love google maps - it was hard to find pics of local landmarks before.

Doesn't look like it to me.
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." Not to me either. Look at how steep the roof is, which indicates higher elevation than Tahoe (better to keep snow from causing a cave in collapse). The rocks are all wrong too. Not to mention the beetle killed trees in the stand are more likely to mean that is in a forest farther north than there.

Don't like it. Has a melancholy feel.

Look at how steep the roof is Tahoe has a lot of dead trees like that Mike. There are many Swiss chalet style houses up there with the same sort of roof. The most popular structure on and around the Lake is a basic A Frame with roofs as steep as this little stone structure.

Da Debil made me do it. Sometimes my pen leads a life of its own and just carries me along for the ride.

Very nice.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I like yours'. Great color, depth and composition of picture. My desk top picture above is meant to convey my deep respect to these beings I consider people, and value every bit as much as human beings. I have been deeply angered and grieved by the slaughter of dolphins in Japan and elsewhere, and that is what context of being it represents. Sorry you don't like it, it is not there for others to like, it is there on my computer to remind me without the activism, money and effort from people like me, Dolphins could disappear from the Earth. Earth First!
It comes from a series I received in email. If I can find it again I'll send it on to you.
