Collections - What do you collect?
Artiste:
Brokeplex, we are now becoming robots!!
And anyone has collected robots?
Hugs!
brokeplex:
I have some robot toys left over from my childhood. They are original "Robby the Robot" models made in Japan in the early 1960's. No batteries, just a wind up kep in the back. :)
Artiste:
Lucky you brokeplex!
Some or all are worth bucks!
A few Japan robots are much bucks, earlier ones!
I had a Canada -Made or USA-made robot which brought me my cup of tea or newspaper.
Two of them!! Now sold to collectors!!
Have you heard of the robots playing together (this is a secret) ??
Au revoir,
Hugs!
Artiste:
Thanks susie!!
May I say that we seem to become to worship now criminals like China murdering innocent persons in Africa so to get their free oil?
And China murdering Tibetans for nothing, just because Tibet is being overtaken by China not giving jobs to the Tibetans and using them as second class or worst!!
Isn't it weird that many liked Saddam Heissein even if he murdered many of his peoples?? And he is liked still to-day ??
To-day, we seem to worship men degrading females, and gays, in the USA, Canada, etc., by the rap songs and TV ads using them as just SEX objects, and nobody seems to complain anymore?? !!
So now, persons are becoming like robots... like we don't care about humanity anymore ?? !! Even if thousands of gay men to-day are murdered by islamic governments, we don't want to talk about that neither!!
So now, human bodies are being collected for body parts (unfortunately even if healthy) so that the utmostly rich and powerful, even if they are murderers, can live longer!!
Sorry for the thruth!
Is it a form of collecting, right??
Maybe that is why we collect metal robots now?
Au revoir,
hugs!

Lindbergh almost singlehandedly developed aviation as we know into a world-wide phenomenon. Sure people know he flew the Atlantic, but I don't think many people today are aware that most airports exist because of Charles. Without the airports, no flights for the populace. I am probably preaching to the choir here. ;D You might enjoy reading the space and aviation quotes I have posted in my blog, including a few from Charles.

I am lucky enough to call one of his grandsons a friend, and hearing about Lindbergh's exploits from a member of his family is an awesome experience.
I think you are right that we are short on admiration today for people who are going out of their way to change the world for the better, true heroes. Current society just seems more jaded. Just look at the way we put down our presidential candidates for their little human slip ups. History is full of presidents who did worse than our current candidates, yet no one belittled them. People respected them for the big picture items. I find it to be a sorry state of affairs. None of us is perfect, and we shouldn't expect our leaders to be either.

you might want to go back and review some of the campaigns during the Gilded Age. It really is entertaining reading. You want to talk about dirty and mean!
1876,1888, and 1892 make our contemporary campaigns look like sunday school picnics. ( the "illegitimate" child of Grover Cleveland became a major campaign issue for the GOP to sling at Cleveland: one of their tactics was to hire a forlorn looking woman to stand up holding a baby "doll" at any campaign speech by Cleveland and start the crowd to chanting - "Ma, Ma where is Pa? Gone to the White House, Haw, Haw, Haw!")
