Do you have anything POSITIVE to say about the USA ?

One of the things I observe about living in Rural Oregon is
*  the Animals are EXCEPTIONAL.

Exceptionally Healthy, Exceptionally Intelligent.

This first became striking when I was given 2 beef livers by a neighbor, and started feeding that to the Chickens.

They had a Companion, a Female Calico Cat that wasn't Neutered.

She was SO Smart, SO athletic, and SO non-aggressive towards me - despite being a dedicated Feral cat.

I made the mistake of capturing her once and her strength was other-worldly.

She would jump off the floor, then bounce off a 9 foot ceiling.  It was quite obvious, she could have jumped over a 12 foot fence, and had a good chance of making it over a 15 foot fence.

I tried to hug her, and to pet her.  She tolerated it but obviously hated it.

But she only hissed once, and made no motion towards scratching or biting me.

I think one of the things that made her exceptional was, she simply was not neutered.  And, that she was well-fed.  My land has a lot of rodents, in addition to the beef liver I gave her.

I was always ambivalent about cats.  I think that was because the cats my family when I was young, were neutered.

The sight of a healthy cat that had all its hormones was almost infinitely impressive.  Like she was from another planet or something.


I also started feeding my Chickens Vitamins, and raising Mille Fleur bantams.

The first female I had was de-feathered by a mountain lion in 2018, and there was only one way that could have happened.  She CHARGED the beast.

They are so un-chicken that it seems very wrong to categorize them with Chickens.

Since the word Chicken is used as a Synomym for "Fearful".

She is 100% fearless - entertainingly so.  She will charge ANYTHING.

As impressive as the Calico Cat was, the little white Mille Fleur is probably more impressive.

She only has 200 million brain cells - but has as much personality as any human personality that you may actually like.

She plays to Human audiences.  She does a Wings Flapping display, which is most prominent when she has been sitting on a batch of eggs.

Out of pure Happiness and Energy, as far as I can tell, after pooping and then preening, she concluded her morning ritual with a Display of Wing-Flapping and Squawking that is as impressive as the Calico Cat.


Unfortunately, the humans in Rural Oregon are as Stupid as these 2 animals are impressively Great.

Here are some comments from an online forum -

"Jo County is that bad because y'all don't want to pay for services. There wasn't a Sheriff for years because jo country wouldn't increase their property taxes, y'all have to pay individually for fire services because no one will pay the property taxes for a proper fire department. Jo County is a cesspool. Curry isn't much better."

Lifeguards wait -7- minutes to rescue a teen drowning in the pool.

The YMCA management immediately went into cover-up mode.

Not only did they terminate the membership of Don Lufkin, the only person that tried to help the drowning man - they began terminating the membership of ANY member that tried to talk about Facility Safety.

This happened in July 2020.  Travis & Julie helped me with landscaping and house-cleaning, until he shot and killed her.


It is such an amazing contrast, these high-performing animals, versus the local Bureacracies, and the Stupid Human Tricks.

Where there is NO instinct for excellence.


There is a lot more to all of these stories.

Think it has anything to to with the relative proximity to Microsoft and Starbucks, and the type of "people" and attitudes that they attract?

Having a big dispute right now - I'm 100% right, but nobody cares - that involves Microsoft, and, delving into the matter, there is just layer upon layer of useless pretentious "people" that are too important to do anything, except luxuriate in their "superiority."

Southwest Oregon is 500 miles South of Seattle, where MS & starbucks are located.

About as far as you can get.

The biggest local company is Dutch Brothers.

There was always the question, what Dutch Bros. founder Travis B. would do with is (possibly temporary) windfall.

So far, he's been fighting a big fight, trying to get some video game slot machine silly bullshit going at the local race-track.

He's trying to build a local casino - opposed by Indian groups.  And he is losing.

Meanwhile he owns a lot of expensive racehorses.

So he is following the "Stupid" track available to rich people.
