Mathematically, it doesn't matter much if voter turnout is 50% or 40% - what matters is how close the elections are.

Hey Larry, have you heard of the dihydrogen monoxide coverup? This lethal chemical kills people every year, and yet our government refuses to ban it.

 

Maybe you have a point

Spread the word!

DHMO is the number one cause of drowning in the US.

[rob]

It's also an enabling component in acid rain. Without sufficient quantities of DHMO, acid rain is not possible.

 

It also corrodes metal, and is lethal if inhaled. It's even found in cancer cells, and unfortunately high quantities of it have been found in every major river and lake in the United States.

 

The cleanup would take hundreds of years -- that is, if the government ever decided to take their responsibility seriously. But why spend money on DHMO cleanup, when you can buy more bombers???

What's my opinion these days on DMHO, Bill?

[prole]

Has POTUS weighed in on DHMO?

[billcoe]

What's my opinion these days on DMHO, Bill?

It's got to be the same as it ever was for you Pat, you're a genius and everyone else is an idiot or an asshat...or both.

 

How'd I do?

What's my opinion these days on DMHO, Bill?

 

Before you ask Bill about that, how about you regale us with a reprise of the detrimental health effects associated with the intentional contamination of municipal water supplies with sodium fluorosilicate.

 

"Google flouridation and you'll come up with a bunch of websites outlining the many adverse health affects of flouridation, and the lack of evidence that it helps prevent tooth decay.

 

Personally, I prefer to take responsibility for my own chemical injestion and health rather than trust government, thank you very much."

Ha. Ha.

I see Bill's not the only guy who's continually got me on his mind.

[Lucky Larry]

Good strategy rob, answer my questions with your own questions--works very well on high school delinquents.

 

rob, '... but unfortunately, most of our citizens have their head up their ass.'

 

So why is it you want ass-heads voting?

Good strategy rob, answer my questions with your own questions--works very well on high school delinquents AND KEVBONE

Fixed that.

 

You guys thinking of the death of Michael Connell? He was the man testifying that Bush and company (ie, via his work) stole the Ohio election via computer fraud? In fact, he had been hired to do it. http://www.opednews.com/Quicklink/Ohio-Court-Considers-Unsea-in-Best_Web_OpEds-110112-348.html

 

 

[Lucky Larry]

Bill, no electrocution has ever been stolen; everything is fair and square...right?

 

BTW Bill, that Michael dude is just a liar, people who have nothing to gain or lose always lie..geeze.

The dihydrogen monoxide hoax is a deception that involves the use of an unfamiliar name for water ("dihydrogen monoxide")

[billcoe]

As Larry may likely be the only person who has lived with a concentration camp survivor for years, I would suggest that he would have a better feel for what the man told him than anyone else here. Remember that there were hundreds of camps with lots of different configurations, and it was true that Auschwitz had that Arbeits Mach Frei (work makes you free) motto over the gates, but all of your babbling and topic shifting Rob, doesn't make Larrys thoughts or ideas any less true. In fact on THIS point, that "Everyone gets what he deserves" which was the sign over the Buchenwald gates as you say...he's suggesting that is here ...now....for us.

 

....so just turn on the news and go back to relishing our glorious march off to the 3rd war in Libya to right the wrongs in the world. "We will save the civilians from the predations of their own government." It must be true, every news channel is saying so. Todays HUGE news story is that we fired 110 Tomahawk Cruise missiles at Libya. Of course, none of those nailed anyone who didn't deserve it....did they?

 

An interesting little bit of recent and current history that never seems to get played on the evening news:

Note that this was the view from the inside looking out.

Rob, I'm not anti-military, don't believe that is the case. As far as protests goes, they protested WW1 and protesters were killed for it. Didn't do a damn bit of good. My Grandfather was a marine and killed Germans in WW1. He did it so that peace would come to the world and his son would have a better life. His son, my father, was in the 8th Air Corp and he killed Germans in WW2. The casualty rate for those guys was shockingly high. You can research the causes of ww2 to see how that trip went down. When my turn came and I joined, we finally had figured out that we shouldn't be killing Germans and the Germans were totally down with this. In fact, looking around the world at our little military excursions I've seen us head off too during my life, they seem to have all net losers. I mean for most everyone: victors, losers, civis, people standing watching the next country over, everyone. I volunteered and worked up at the VA hospital and there was plenty of Korean War vets who - seeing our trading with Red China, have a different feel for that conflicts value to our society as well.

 

Ask yourself, is this new POS conflict worth YOUR son's life so that bubba down the street can keep commuting to work and squandering a disappearing and critical resource with his 12 mpg monster SUV? Of course, the large ancillary benefit is that some large US corporations will have record profits (that you pay for through higher taxes to pay off this adventurism while they book the new boatloads of scratch tax free via an offshore dummy corporation) You can get a piece of this action via your 401K. If you can answer yes, (ie, it IS worth it) then we can have a discussion. For myself, I do not believe it is worth your son or daughters life Rob. I don't think we should be enriching select corporations while indebteding the population for years to come over this. I dislike the government pushing the idea, via the constant news reports, that it is -and that this is a worthy cause. It's not. BTW, if you don't have a son or daughter, ask yourself this single question that I asked myself, my father asked himself and my grandfather asked himself: "Is this worth MY life". Therein will be your answer.

 

This vid should help to define that idea for folks:
