Congratulations, you’ve just defended eugenics!

Exactly what I've been thinking. I only got out twice this season. Was a rough one

Cherry House B & B

That’s a really kind offer, thank you. Unfortunately we are looking to collapse in St J.

It’s seems to be guys in their 80’s. Must still think ice is on the lake at the end of March like it used to be.

The credit is not that new. It was available when you filed. It is only for children under 6 years old.

Sure that makes sense.

Hitlers vacation hideaway was turned into a retreat for American soldiers and their dependents to vacation at. One of Sadam Husseins palaces was turned into a school that allows women where all classes are in English. This seems better than simply destroying things.

If a google of "mead eugenics involvement" immediately pulls up this asshat's outspoken question of "Segregation or Sterilization" in 1912 - I implore you to stop fooling yourself into thinking you are trying. With all that, I warn you that the devil's advocate act makes you look like a walking cock-sock. Be better, fucking christ.

Festival of Fools, Church Street in Burlington. Early August. Street performers invited from around the world.

Burke Mountain?

thanks for the link. looks like he was a fan of eugenics, talks about it page 12. case closed. appreciated.

could’ve gone without the snark, i did the basic 2 minute googling. but thanks for the info.

I'm in Danville and I've got an RV that sleeps two and a tent that sleeps one if you're really looking for something cheap. It's 13 miles uphill from St. J though, and at the moment there's two feet of snow on the ground.

I read the article. My comments are a mix between what is in the article and the comment.

If you have different information, it should be included in your comment. To have information and not include it in your comment is not really fair. Others have posted new to me information. I will read that later today.

Mead did far more than merely suggest further study of vasectomies. In reality, he suggested vasectomies as one of a few options (in addition to restrictions on marriage and segregation) to control the growing population of “degenerates” in society.

Jim Douglas might be acting in good faith, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he is correct.

That was not included in your comment. I read the article posted by OP, and replied based on the article.

When you don't include your source of information, it is fair to criticize the information given.

I will read up on this article later on today.

OK. I will read up on that. I tried to write my comment to make it clear that my information on Mead was just from the attached article.

Thanks.

People who can’t afford housing shouldn’t have it either! Losers!

As much as I empathize with everything being said, my experiences staying at AirBonobo/ Vrbo have been >80% small, middle class hosts. A family (multiple siblings in their 60s who lived in adjoining houses) who rented out their deceased parent’s house which shared a backyard with theirs in Utah. A CP railway conductor who used his railroad pay to renovate 3 small properties and maintains them in his time off from work in Minnesota. A semi-retired guy who lives off his rental up the hill from him in Maine. I really think things have gone wrong with the platform since it started (like everything on the internet that’s been around too long). The prices have skyrocketed for what you get. I also grew up in VT and find it hard to imagine ever moving back bc affordability. Other than say essex county, island pond has some affordable houses for sale.

If Mead was such a bad dude, the building should be demolished. After all, it was built with his money.

I’ve been the outsider you talk about but was fully informed on issues, served on a committee, went to board meetings, etc and still had a mass of local townies want to yell in my face and intimidate me for having a difference of opinion. Funny you mention looking your neighbor in the eye as one casts a vote… One of the proposals that was voted on was an issue that was never brought to the residents on the roads it impacted the most in the new proposal, yet so many, not unlike your comment cried how they were community minded people yet completely failing to see the irony of their efforts.

We need out of staters to come rent and buy our houses, because we can’t keep our own youth. We need workers, we need more housing, a lot more, far more than is being taken up buy second homeowners and vacation rentals. The vacancy rate in Burlington has been under 3% since before Airbnb was a thing.
