The last surviving Cartwright has ridden into the sunset. Boy did I watch those Bonanza shows...

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

My wife's uncle (her mom's brother) was just talking about this on the phone this evening to us. My mother-in-law was saddened by this. She and her brother grew up and were schoolyard pals with Mr. Roberts. He visited their home to play during their childhood years in Waycross, Ga. Both she and her brother have mentioned it many times that he was a fine person.

RIP, Mr. Roberts.



"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

The end of a legacy, Bonanza had a lot of young actors, in seemingly good health pass.  There is a Texas band who does a tribute to Bonanza, and i tried real hard to find it, but did not. RIP all in the bonanza series, I too enjoyed and watched them all.

Wait, I found it. Enjoy.

You know, I have vague (of course ;)) memories of actually being stoned enough to enjoy that song. However, that was 25 years ago and now I have to ask, WTF?

That explains a lot.  :)
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

I'll take it for you. I grew up in South Florida in the 1980's. Hell, I had a white linen "Italian waiters jacket" bought from Bannana Republic back when they still had the catalog and used to be cool. I was seen wearing loafers (sans socks) a teal T-shirt and white pleated linen pants with Ray Bans doing my level best to be Sonny Crockett. However, post high school, I did ROTC and entered the wonderfu world of random drug tests. Out went the bong, in came the keg. As Tom puts it, war on some drugs indeed. Different medium, same result. To quote our former leader, "When I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible". Or to quote the Govenator "I inhaled, exhaled and at least could do drugs right as opposed to Clinton". ;D 
FQ13 who still wants that Bren 10 with a shoulder rig ;D
