...Anybody watching this 3 part series on the History Channel? I was pleasantly surprised at the first installment. I mean a lot of the time when a program gets as much publicity as this one, it usually flops for me. :sleep:

If I understand correctly the Hatfields and the McCoys have actually signed a "truce", or at least a "seize fire." I have a friend from West Virginia who is all into that stuff. I always get his affiliation wrong because one the families is from WV and the other family is from Kentucky.
 
I worked in the same division on one of my ships with a Hatfield and if the rest of that family acts as mean and hateful as he did, there's no surprise here that the feud started up and kept going.

One of the Texas McCoys.

Haven't started watching the show yet. Thought I'd wait until I had it all on the DVR and watch it all at one setting.

you'd think in 2012 our society would have realized a way to help communities that are financially struggling and resort to desperate measures to get by. instead, we penalize them. i guess it shows where our priorities are, as a people. we should be collectively ashamed of ourselves.
america puts more people in prison per capita than any other nation in the entire world, and of those more than 75% are drug offenders. don't take my word for it, look it up and see. you can kill someone and be out of jail in 7 years or less. there are plenty of drug offenders doing double and even triple that.

and as for the geriatric crowd not likely to be selling pot? i guess they fooled you. google will guide you to news stories from several states where older folks have had some pretty big operations going.
there was a big bust in california just a few years ago where a group of several grandmas were busted. they had one of the largest drug rings ever. they had so much cash they'd been hiding it in the walls. they had literally run out of places to put it.

In case you missed episodes 1 and 2, the whole series is airing today beginning at 5:00 p.m. EDT. I've seen the first two so I won't be tuning in until 9:00 p.m.

Drug dealers LOVE old people to mule. They love white women with babies, who nice people help with their luggage. They love pregnant women, who airport authorities are reluctant to X-ray. Meanwhile, some of the angriest people I encounter are the little old ladies who honestly don't know why they have to go to the prescription counter to get a box of Sudafed. If I start talking about The War on (Some) Drugs the thread will get locked. I know the rest of you will have trouble believing this, but my opinions are contrarian.

I saw some of Hatfields v McCoys; I was switching between that and basketball, which meant I really didn't see either one very well. Perhaps I'll get to see more this weekend. I'd like the feature to do well, because I'd like History Channel to air more historical content, but as I said, I suspect a lot of this miniseries' audience were watching the playoffs. Jena Malone strongly reminds me of a friend of mine from college who I loved very much. She has a little boy now.
