Today I am going to talk a litte about the
town of Spearsfish, South Dakota.
This town is located on Intersate 9 about
18 miles west of Sturgis.
It was settled about 130 years ago and
has reached a population of over 10,000
people.
For a small city, Spearfish has excellent
shopping as well as medical care. It is also
noted as a tourist town. It has been the
home of the Passion Play for a great many
generations, but may not have that
attraction too many more years as the
property is for sale.
Spearfish is noted for the large number of
retired farmers and ranchers who move to
that town to retire.
It has some excellent eating places, as well
as motels and hotels. It is the home for
the Black Hills State University.

Comparing misdeeds of two presidents
Today I am going to talk about the misdeeds, crimes
if you will, of two presidents, one a Republican and
the other a Democrat.
First lets talk about the misdeeds of President
Nixon.
What were Nixon's two crimes, so hideous the
Democrats were ready to hang him from the
highest tree?
His first crime: he lied as to when he first
found out about the break in at the Watergate
hotel complex. He lied to the American public
by telling them he didn't find out about
the breakin until two weeks after it took
place. It turns out he was told about it one
week after it took place .
His other misdeed or crime. The Saturday
night massacre in which he fired the
special prosecutor appointed to investigate
the Watergate break in, and also the attorney
general who had made the appointment.
Now let's take a look at the misdeeds, or
crimes if you will, of the Democratic
president, Bill Clinton.
He was guilty also of lying to the American
public, on several ocasions, concerning
his involvement with sex scandals in the
Oval office of the Whitehouse. But he was
also guilty of lying, not just once but twice,
under oath. This is a far more serious
offense (crime) than lying to the American
public. Unfortunately, the Democrats in
the Senate saw this as not being a crime
and chose to forgive him.
His other offense. He also obstructed
justice, the first time while he was
governor of Arkansas and later after
he became president.
Bill and Hillary Clinton were heavily
involved in the Whitewater bank and
real estate scandal. Twenty six of their
closest friends and associates were
charged with crimes connected with this
scandal. All were found guilty and
sentenced to various lengths of prision
terms.
A special state investigator was appointed to
determine the involvement of the Clinton's
in this affair. Two days before the
investigator was scheduled to give his
report, Governor Bill Clinton fired him
and appointed his own investigator.
A couple of days after the appointment the
new investigator held a news conference
during which he announced he found no
fault on the part of the Clintons in the
Whitewater affair and was dropping the
investigation.
Since a bank which was insured by the
Federal government was involved, a
Federal investigator was appointed to
look into the Whitewater affair. Again,
a couple of days before this federal
investigator was scheduled to announce
his findings, the newly elected President
Clinton fired him and appointed his own
investigator. A couple days later this
newly appointed investigator announced
he found no fault in the Clinton's involvement
and was dropping the case.
Now I ask you, which of the two presidents
committed the more serious set of crimes?
No charges were ever brought against Clinton,
nither for the Arkansas coverup nor the
federal level coverup in connection with the
Whitewater scandal or it's coverup. In fact, there was very little attention paid to either
coverup in the mational news media.
So much for fairness in the national news
coverage.

Another proper English lesson
Today's lesson is such a no brainer, I am hesitant
to even mention it. The reason I am, I just left an
advertising website in which the writer said "Me and George just came upwith an idea".
There are two things wrong with this statement.
First, using "Me and George". Personal pronouns
such as I and we are of the same usage whether
standing alone or in conjunction with someone
else. Example "Me just came up with an idea".
It doesn't take a lot of brains to realize this is
wrong. Of course, it should read, "I came up with
this idea".
The second thing wrong was putting 'Me' (I)
before the other person. It should, of course,
read, "George and I came up with this idea",
not "Me and George" or George and me".

Sequence of daily postings
It seems to me blogspot has it daily postings
arranged in the wrong way, with the last
posted showing first. I realize it makes
sense in some ways but many daily postings
are a followup of was written on previous
days. It becomes a real problem trying to
write daily blogs so they make coherent
sense. How can a person write on a subject
over a several day period, with one day's
blog leading up to the next day's, when it
will be read in reverse order. I haven't
yet figured out a good way of doing that.
I realize much of what I have written so
far in my blogs may not appear to make
much sense because of this sequence of
posting.

The town of Belle Fourche, South Dakota
On those days when I can't think of anything
else to write about, I will continue to write
about towns in the norther part of the Black
Hills of South Dakota.
Today I am going to write about Belle Fourche.
This two of about 3000 is located about ten
miles north of Spearfish and I90. It is
primarily a shopping town for a huge area
north and east of Belle Fourche. This area
is composed of huge sheep and cattle ranches,
and includes a good sized Bureau of Reclamation
irrigation project as well as numous dry land
farmers.
It is also the nearest town to several bennite
plants and several small manufacturing plants.
Belle Fourche calls its self the center of the
nation, when Alaska is thrown in. The actual
center is several miles north of Belle Fourche.
Back in the early 1900's, Belle Fourche was the
largest cattle and sheep market in the world
with more of both shipped out to slaughter
houses than any where else. Today it is one
of the largest wool markets in the world.

Speech which brought about a war
announce the names of those countries which we would
go to war to protect them from an invasion by a
communist country.
The list was very long, encompassing nearly half the
world.
Conspicuous by it's absence from that list was the country
of South Korea.
North Korea had been building up a massive war machine
for the purpose of some day conquering South Korea.
President Truman's speech amounted to an open invitation
to the North Korean leaders to go ahead and launch their
invasion. President Truman's speech assured them the United would do nothing to stop them.
Toward the end of June, 1950, North Korea launched their
invasion. A few days later President Truman had a change
of heart and called on the United Nations to put a stop to
the North Korean invasion. The United States became the
major country to assist the United Nations in this effort.
Question: Would North Korea have invaded South Korea
if President Truman had not made his protection speech?
No doubt at some point they would have seen an opportunity
open up for them to do just that but it is extremely doubtful
they would have launched their invasion when the did, if
they had not been assured the United States would not
oppose them.
I have to personally thank President Truman for his speech. Without it I would not have gone into the Air Force a few months later and would not have met my wife Annie. My three children, my four grandchildren and my great grandchild would not have been born so I have many reasons to
