Phoenix about 1200 feet over sea level........... in the old pressure canning 
book, that would mean a 10# weight on the canner.
 
I'm at just over 4000 feet, and need to up to 15#.
 
But need to verify to see if any of that has changed since my old book was 
published.

People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, 
and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. 
Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder 
respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” ~ George

If it is old, you'll need a new gasket.  You should be near sea level.  You 
wouldn't use 15 pounds, so you might want to check the weight and see if it

has multiple weight designations on it or if it is the type that comes apart 
and you add the pieces for more weight.

Just a hint, the best thing to do is to run a load of caned water for your 
first "canning" operation.  The canned water is good for just having
around 
and that way you don't spoil any "real" food.

> When I worked at
the PD, I suppose I, too, was a taxpayer funded employee.  I never
thought of us as a drain. 

The only ones who view such people as "drains" are the Pointy Haired Boss 
types who actually swallow their own schtick and think of themselves as 
valuable 
and worth a great deal of money.  After all it's THEIR money going to pay for 
you and your benefits.  You are a parasite and they are the provider.

Did you ever wonder how, for example, that less than 4,000 German personnel 
were able to confine 400,000 Jews to the Warsaw ghetto, starving 100,000 of 
them to death and having the remaining 300,000 follow instructions all the 
way to 
the concentration camps and their deaths.   That’s a 100 to 1 ratio.  
Consider how foreign all that is to us, one person showing up among 100 and 
they all 
obey the one to their deaths.  Here, and still in most places of this 
society, 
the 100 would do away with the one, the very fact of which keeps aspiring 1’s 
from attempting any such.



But the reason the SS was able to pull it off was because the Jews had been 
conditioned for centuries to fatalistically accept abuse from the goi.  They 
were conditioned to believe that if they just suffered the abuse in silence, 
it 
would eventually go away.



While we as a people could not be meekly rounded up and stuffed into cattle 
cars, we have been conditioned in another way until we accept it as the 
natural 
order of things and don’t question it. That is the suit in the office is 
somehow a superior person, or has a superior karma than we do.  They create 
wealth 
and create jobs and when we turn over to them, as the rock opera Godspell had 
it in one of the songs:



"….the center of the meat, cushions on the seat 



Houses on the street where it's sunny.. 



Summers at the sea, winters warm and free

 

All of this and we get the rest... "



Both the people supporting this class of societal parasites and the parasites 
themselves have come to internalize the conditioning until everyone believes 
that when the Pointy Haired Boss type clutches his loot and screams "MINE" at 
the very thought of some state employee getting some health insurance, he 
actually has some moral right to protest the taking of HIS money.



It hasn’t always been this way.  Not so very long ago in our society almost 
all industrial output was from cottage industries.  One particular turning 
point was when the owners of textile factories in Massachusetts wanted 
workers for 
their factories at a time when slavery was ending and indentured servitude 
was no longer feasible. But people ensconced in their own cottage industries 
as 
fullers, carders, spinners, weavers, etc. wanted nothing to do with any such 
goings on.  So the state passed a law requiring mandatory attendance at 
government schools specifically for the purpose of indoctrinating the people 
to show 
up and do as they are told, endure boredom, accept token rewards for their 
work, and have a sort of internal feeling of guilt if they were out and about 
during the day and not where they were "supposed" to be.  



The Revolution against this aspect of our society is to drop out of it, don’t 
participate in it.  This is the essence of homesteading and the direct use 
economy.  When the parasitic PHB types in their delusion encounter this, they 
rend their garments and heap ashes on their heads saying that THEY are paying 
for our roads, health care, schools etc. and we are freeloaders.  Yes … I 
suppose … in the same sense the slave holder paid for everything and the 
slaves were 
freeloaders and the Nazis paid for everything and Jews were freeloaders.  
PHB’s ARE the parasites on society.



Part and parcel of this conditioning is to envy the Pointy Haired Boss.  Most 
PHB’s are so self-absorbed in their boss-world, that if someone does not 
aspire to be a PHB themselves, the only explanation that occurs to the PHB is 
that 
they can’t achieve it and are jealous … much like the slobby obnoxious man 
whose advances are rebuffed by the attractive woman and the man’s reply is, 
"Oh, another lesbian!"



That’s where you get this, Bev.  It’s the laughable, pitiful Pointy headed 
Boss syndrome.  Observe it while you can, it is passing into history even as 
we 
speak!
