There's always been a bottom;
there'll always be a top.
Someone to take the orders,
and someone to call the shots.
Someone to take the beating,
and someone to win the prize.
That may be the way it's been,
but that don't mean it's right.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent
form of government. It can only
exist until the majority discovers it can
vote itself largess out of the
public treasury. After that, the majority
always votes for the candidate
promising the most benefits with the
result the democracy collapses because
of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always
to be followed by a
dictatorship, then a monarchy." -

Earliest known picture
of Corvallis Oregon ~ 1868
population ...1220
One of Benton County's
more colorful Sheriffs was Solomon King,
who followed Palmer with a 10-year term
from 1876 to 1886 -- the longest term
served so far in the county.
Sol King was "taller and
bigger than most men of his time" and
the best known of the historic King
Family in Benton County. He came to
Oregon in 1845 on a wagon train when he
was 12 years old. In 1872, Sol King and
his wife and six children moved to
Corvallis, where he purchased the
Corvallis Livery, Feed and Sale Stable.
(above on the right)
The family ran the
business for 14 years before giving it
up after the barn burned. In 1876, King
ran for Sheriff for the first time and
was given the support of the Corvallis
Gazette, the local newspaper. The paper
praised him for his struggle "to manhood
thro' the pioneer difficulties... For
his opportunities, no man, for
generosity and whole-souled help, to
those in need, has more to rise up and
call him blessed than Sol King."

As a
species, humans manifest a quality
called neoteny, the retention of
juvenile characteristics into adulthood.
Neoteny has physical
ramifications—scarce body hair and a
flat face are two examples—but it also
has neurological ones. Namely, we have
an extraordinary capacity to continue
learning throughout life.

Call 1-800-634-2145 and ask for Earl.

He is electronically plugged into the

Since
1982, copper pennies have been 97.5% zinc with
a copper plating. Cost 1.26-cents to make in
2008. A nickel is 75% copper and 25% nickel;
cost 7.7-cents to make.
In World War II, 11% of the U.S. pilots
shot down 90% of the planes.
They
were country boys who'd grown up with a rifle;
knew deflection shooting, the art of leading the
moving target. Chuck Yeager |
