Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?

No kidding! Good humored sarcasm, irony and facetiousness are totally lost on a lot of guys here

That's a fact. 

@hilde45  , +1.

I thought you were going to say the cat peed on the salamander rack. cat pee has got to be the foulest of all stenches, if not a cat turd.

@shtinkydog  ,  after I got laid off in '05 I went to nursing school and finished off my working-man career as a nurse; I can tell you that there are a lot worse stenches than cat excrement.

Lots of words though.

The words never cease. And they never really say anything at all.

Have you read and understood Bernard Mandeville before i mentionned it here?

Have you already coupled it with rené Girard ?

Those two hacks never wrote anything even close to as good as The Art Of The Deal.

Your description of communism applies to the likes of Lenin, Trotsky, and Mao who appropriated the language of Marx to legitimize their authoritarian impulses and objectives, much the way Trump and other authoritarian personalities currently exploit the rhetoric of Christian fundamentalism and nationalism to legitimize their authoritarian purposes. Christian nationalism is a desecration of Christianity equally as offensive as the manipulation of Islam by Muslim radicals.

As Nietzsche said, if you seek peace of mind, believe; if you seek truth, inquire.

+1, @hce1  .

Didn't Stormy Daniels write a book titled The Naked Capitalist?

UH.... Adam Smith?

No, wait... Bill Gates?

Ha ha! A couple of good guesses, but it was the captialist with tiny hands that she had an affair with back in ’06.

    Never buy Toshiba stereo equipment from certain vermin, OR- their sympathizers.

                    The only upside: the Bass CAN be explosive!

I would probably buy equipment from @kristinoem because exposure to misbehaving dogs should be minimal. 

      You DO realize: he's a rather large individual, which may make his hands appear smaller.     After all, were all things relatively sized...but then again:

LOL!  Well, you know what "Little Marco" said about his hand size . . . but don't take his word--Stormy has made some comments about that also.

I would not shoot my dogs if they messed with my system or attacked my chickens.

He once attacked viciously my uncle sleeping and trying to approach him... I was sad for the bloody hands of my uncle but proud of my savage cat...😊

I am happy to read that you did not do a Kristi Noem job on your cat.
