The Great Depression, Displaced Mountaineers, and the C.C.C.
A montage of photographs from the United States Digital Archives and Shenandoah National Park depicting life during the "Great Depression." The video details ...
Those days are quickly returning. Although I dont forsee the same end as
last time. Our society is too fat, lazy and basically we are a society of
comfort-loving consumers. Back then I'd say a majority of people understood
a hard days work and had never heard of TV or airconditioning. The same
super rich bankers that caused the first depression are getting ready to do
it again... look into it. Same families, same comapanies, same goals.
Totally different outcome this time, IMO
my grandfather was born at the very top of the mountain out a now fire road
across the road from the skyline entrance and then was move down to the
otherside of the mountain into a town called wolftown into a resettlement
house in 1939 and he said that it was hell the way people treated the
mountain people when they moved down there so i wish everybody woud quit
being bitchy about their lives its nowhere near as tough as these people
had it
The economy is changing, our industries need to stragegize and innovate to
help those who are being unemployed and folks looking for work may be
retrained and hired. Government needs to do what it can to provide tax
incentives to help business flourish and continue stimulus to do those
things that private industry can't or won't.
John Duke - Wake up ! It's the greedy selfish oligart ceo's that need to be
taken out to a field and shot because they chose to ship off jobs to other
countries , and the unions didn't help things either. Greed . Pure and
simple mon .
With the current US Banking and Credit Crisis, Massive Personal and Gvt
Debt levels, and the dollar losing its Reserve currency status, we will
most likely be resigned to this same fate once again very soon
CIA Insider Warns: "25-Year Great Depression is About to Strike America" You will want to remember this date June 23, 2015. According to one of the top minds ...
If that was really a CIA Insider, he'd have been "Dealt with" within an
hour of pushing out that article and the thing would have been removed.
Quickly.
Jim Rickards is very credible. He is an advisor to the CIA. They came to him for software he developed. He is a very well paid private analyst. He told the treasury in a national security meeting that they were the biggest threat to national security. Lol.
I can not argue that point Jack! It is not the people, it is government in collusion with the banks. The thing about the problem it is a created problem and with all creation it can be changed. It is common people that allow this, I have no idea why. Who are these people that the governments allow to hold the planet hostage. I do believe it is about more than money because the few have stole about all of the money. Now it is about power, the lies divide the people, the people none the wiser.
+Stephen Lee Thats right,that same insanity will drive America to its grave.
America was on a HIGH, then the Rug Got Pulled the Great Depression

Is The Big Lebowski a Film Noir? - Film School'd
The mystery. The femme fatale. The events spinning out of our hero's control. All essential ingredients in a Film Noir, and all are present in the Coen Brothers' ...
I like to think that Citizen Kane is very much a noir...Minus the "crime"
aspect. Still a mystery being solved. Aesthetically it checks out (and then
some), and there are certainly Kane's projectional versions of femme
fatales.
It's most certainly shot like a noir, it maybe even inspired most of them. The famous mirror shot following the room trashing scene always catches my eye.
At least in "la femme par excellence" you could have pronounced "femme"
properly. It's bad enough that "femme fatale" got absorbed into the English
language with a pronunciation error every first-year student of French
would get literally beaten over the head for.
+The Bonesaw .. I actually said the same thing as you did in the most part just with much less words. I differentiated between new phrases that one introduces to sound fancy and those terms that already are part of the collective lexicon though.
Again, no one cares... but I don't feel like taking the cheap way out with a dismissive "no one cares" (even if it's true). So, instead, I’ll go with this:The correct pronunciation of anything is whatever we collectively agree is correct. If enough people do it, and it catches on, then that’s what it is. For instance, a female horse is commonly referred to as a filly. Filly is literally a mispronunciation of the French word for girl, “fille”, which is pronounced "feeyuh". Anyway, as you may or may not know, filly (pronounced the American way) was added to the English lexicon because of World War I. American and English soldiers, stuck in a foreign country, did what every young man in their teens and 20s does with his free time (regardless of what country he’s in)… try to get with young women… and they weren’t about to let anything like a silly language barrier get in the way. So, they did what any enterprising and properly motivated young man would do in that situation… find someone who speaks the language and get them to write down some key phrases that would help them chat up the babes.Of course, having it simply written down does nothing to help with the pronunciation. The soldiers took one look at the word “fille” and gave it their best shot. And that’s how the word “filly” eventually made its way into every English dictionary worldwide. Proving the point that the world is whatever the hell we collectively say it is. You’re wasting your efforts if you think telling everyone they’re an ignorant douchebag is going to cause any of them to pause for self-reflection and ponder how it all went wrong instead of making a mental note to try mispronouncing more foreign words in the hope that they can troll you hard enough to make your brain explode.Anywho, moving on now… so, good luck with your stupid fucking crusade and I hope calling people “ignorant” eventually works out for you and that it will help you get people to agree with your points (inside tip, though… it never will). But, hey! This is America, you go be you.
+The Bonesaw .. Well, there are names that are actually translated and those that aren't. You say "Cologne" not because you think that's the correct way to pronounce "Köln" but because that's actually the name of the city in the English language. Same with Paris, just that in this case it happens to be written the same way.Secondly, the Neandertal is in Germay, not in France. And in neither language is the first syllable pronounced "nay" but the vowel is rather like a long version of the first letter in "end." English speakers have lots of trouble with not pronouncing certain vowels as diphtongs though. Which is absolutely not an issue with the correct pronunciation of "femme." There it's just a matter of ignorance. An ignorance that might or might not be okay usually but it's a bit ridiculous if you try to sound fancy by introducing complete French phrases that are not part of the usual lexicon into your speech.
If only someone cared. It reminds me of a point I once made regarding the word Neanderthal. About a decade ago, because of -- I don't know... documentaries, I guess -- there seemed to be a push by scientists to correct the pronunciation from "Nee-ander-thall" to "Nay-ander-tall". They correctly pointed out that the second one was the proper French pronunciation of the word. Which is all well and good; however... the proper French pronunciation of their country's capital is "Pah-ree", but I prefer to call it "Paris" because I don't want people to think it's okay for them to stick their dick in my mouth.
+Ryan Mansir I heared the term Stoner Noir before. But how many movies fit into this category? The only one I can think of are The Big Lebowsky and Inherent Vice
