Was The United States Faking It's Wealth?

America Had No Income Tax Until 1913 — This Is How Government Got Paid Before That

I've often said there is no such thing as money. If one accepts gold, a piece of paper or beads for trade things will move along just fine. Wealth is all in one's imagination. God didn't designate some value to an object, that's for sure. So did the United States fake it in the begining? Are they still faking it now?

As long as we have faith in some object of value in one or another thing life will move along just fine. If not... POOF!

A Different Kind Of "Dancing Queen" (Music Video)

Repost

They say, "There's more than one way to crack a nut". The same goes for different musical arrangements. A great composition is always a great composition no matter how it's rearranged if done right.

1st Studio Recording Of "Me & Bobby McGee" Janis Joplin

Repost


That's some damn fine singing. All done without echo, equalizers, instrumental back tracks, chorus vocal backup, pitch adjustment or 'auto tune' equipment. Today there's so much processina
It's a shame we don't get to hear more of these (not only hers) that were left on recording studios floors.

Fox Sounds Like Screaming Woman

Repost

I saw this on one of the social media sites. A Allentown woman thought she heard a woman screaming in her yard at 3:30 AM. Before she reported this to the police she asked if anyone else heard it. One of the comments left pointed her in this direction...


Wow, I didn't know that.


Apparently I was misled..
