Orchids


This is my Plumberry Glow "York". I had to go back to 2005 to get a picture, but it's still hanging on to the threads of life and pushing out a couple of red flowers on a regular basis. It's fragrant only at 1pm. Orchids are so funny.

The second picture is a Paph that I bought at the grocery store. Itmanages to bloom every year and has for about four years in a row now. This year it bloomed from Thanksgiving to after Christmas. The picture is pretty bad and doesn't show the plant. I should have set it in the sun for a better photo.

And people should be made to cooperate with this control because they are part of society and society is dependent on everyone being in compliance. This is simply the Truth. It's how the world works and how the world is supposed to work. The Socialist Nationalism, ...

Compulsion is Compulsion, no matter who does it.  This is Brilliant Theft is Theft, no matter who does it. Freedom of Association has no room in it for *private* action   that takes that away Freedom of Association. If I have a business and have voluntary associations such that I choose to serve some people and to not serve others, that might make me a jerk and it might lose me business, it might make me smart and it might gain me business, but it's got to be my choice.  If I would normally serve the current disliked minority in my shop except for the fact that if I'm SEEN to serve them by the wrong people I'll have a private campaign against me as those people do everything possible to ruin me by preventing me from doing business physically or by attacking my customers or suppliers, then I am NOT free to make those choices. Does it really make a difference to losing my CHOICE to voluntarily associate if there's a law that says I may not serve "those people" o...
