  1. Kennedy killed the US Hat industry. Now, you see “Baseball” caps every where. Logo’s to show allegiance to something. I started wearing Hats in college in the mid 60’s. A good friend wore them, no one else did (except for the Vet students, who were mostly farm and ranch kids). I liked the idea. Knit hats went from the ski slopes to regular wear. I still have my Navy Watch Cap from 1969. When I worked in offices, I wore hats to work. All different styles. Now, summer a variety of BB hats, winter mostly knit hats. Keeps ears warm.

  2. Montana’s Supreme Court has passed a ruling, that, in essence, says, [all children + all people in Montana, have THE RIGHT to a clean, or non-polluted, environment].

    The MSC has decided that, paraphrased- “That all Montana youth have a fundamental and constitutional right, to a healthful and clean environment to live in.”

    I see. SINCE…WHEN?

    I believe that Montana’s Supreme Court is just giving in to a handful of environmental, political people, who have extreme, political views.

    I’d love it if- the State of Montana could 1] guarantee that Montana could have [a clean environment] for eternity, and 2] had the resources + law enforcement to enforce this [clean environment], in theory, but- [how] could any US state, find a way to do those two things, in a practical way?

    In theory, I’d love it if: The USA, or any nation, or any US state…or town, could guarantee that its citizens get: life long housing, live long food, and all needed…life long supplies, but how could anyone 1] get the money to make it happen, or 2] get the taxpayers of any land, to pay for such a program, [without violating their rights], such as, my words- the right NOT to be forced by a government- to pay for this type of…or any type of, an unreasonable, impractical, government program?

    I believe that Montana’s Supreme Court wanted to help Montana’s people, by making [a plan for a clean environment in Montana], but instead they have made for themselves a governmental nightmare.

  3. TR:

    Montana’s Supreme Court should also be asked to rule on a few other issues:

    1. All Montana high school students earn straight A’s,

    2. All girls born in Montana win the top prize in Montana State beauty contests,

    3. All boys born in Montana can run a 4-minute mile in high school,

    4. All Montana citizens eat their fill three times a day and do not gain weight, and

    5. Free beer!

    Might as well shoot for the moon!
