Ya know...just for the sake of argument here...just humor me a minute.

what I have read is this:

Don't vote for McCain - he will get us into a war with <insert country>

Don't vote for Clinton - she will get us into a war with <insert country>

Don't vote for Obaman - he has a nutcase minister and is a closet Muslim.


Okay - might just be me, but two out of three candidates think someone needs their rear-ends kicked, and the third is out of the question because of rampant paranoia because he is a black man.

Now..if the first two are smart enough to get to a position to be considered for Presidency, and the rest of us here are not on the same ticket....

.....Ever cross your mind they might have a point here? That perhaps they, having dealt with this more than the lot of us - might just know a thing or two more?

.....Face it - there are some countries that a few American warships or a few overflights up might be a good wake-up call.

Okay.got to admit - it is funny.

And SO useful for so many situations !!


You make that up, Rob?

Oh wait..I got it. You are brilliant!

Ahmadinejad- Iran: We don't like him - let's pay him a billion to retire.

Qadaffi - Libya: We really didn't like him, why didn't we just pay him a billion dollars?

China - Oh, we haven't liked very many of them - Billion each.

Wait - what is that hand in the back? What are you saying? Why are we funding the retirements of people in foreign nations that we don't like?
Oh..well..that is simple...it is cheaper than war.

What is that you say? When do we stop? Oh, never never never. It is cheaper than war, don't you know?


WAIT !! WAIT !! WAIT !! I got it !!

Why don't we 'keep it at home' !! AFter all, our common street criminals are not leaders of nations. They should be happy with much less. Let's give them, say 100k, to go retire somewhere. Much cheaper than running a prison! Sure..that is the ticket ! Think of all the jail expenses, pesky trials, lawyers, and all that nonsense. Just *pay* the criminals to retire!!!

PERFECT !!

If this be your opinion, then such is your right, and you are welcomed to it.

But you might want to take a look back in history. Perhaps you haven't quite thought of this yet, however...the folks who made the really 'big' events in history?

They were kinda smart - you might learn a thing or two.

Don't know, but with the right type of insanity - ya really would not care either....

And modest too......

And again - in what part of this statement did you find me saying ANYTHING related to terrorism or 9/11 ? I would imagine that anyone with a reading comprehension level above the 4th grade would likely not find such a statement there.

What you do see there, and what said imaginary 4th grader would most likely pick up was a couple questions. Namely:

Do you think he was just going to take a billion dollars, pack up and go away quietly ?

Do you think he was just going to stay retired, merrily counting his billions ?


Here is a few beyond the 4th grade reading level:

Do you think that someone who orders the genocide of an ethnic groups deserves a billion dollar retirement?

Do you have the concept that he tortured and killed quite a few people? And we are not talking the garden variety, make you think you are drowning routines. No - we are talking HARD CORE maimings, brutal torture. Brutal DEATHS. And you think it a grand idea to say "Ahh..no problem guy, good job on all that. Here is a billion, go play"

And as a final question - which perhaps is moving to high school level comprehensions - Just how do you think you were going to justify the expenditure of a billion dollars to the American public? You are seriously going to get up there and say

"Hey..let's just form the new American Retirement plan. All you have to do, is take over a country. Brutally treat your people, kill of a few every week, live in a few dozen lavish palaces, thumb your nose at the U.N. make some shady deals with Russia and France and other wise make yourself a nuisance. When you are all done - Hey..we will pay you a billion to go retire. What a deal America !! It is cheaper than a war !!"

Please..run for President under that platform....LaRouche is tired of being the bottom man all the time.

Well HM, I would show you mine...but it is huge....

Ahh yes...I see you are providing your usual dose of biased, anit-bush propaganda. Seriously - do you just sit around all day, trolling for this b.s.? Thinking - "oh..here is a good one, this will show them" "Wow, good one there , you hit that topic with everything" "Jeezz..I just gotta post this one..this will show them real good"

Pathetic.

Cali;;

Well...I *suppose* we could settle for that....

WWAAAAYYY too late for that!!

Really ??

Provided bail money.

NO no no no no ..... am just kidding!!!!

Seriously - got into the airport one evening a zero-dark-thirty.
They showed up as a surprise, took me home, and had a dinner waiting.

Was very thoughtful...and completely unasked for/unexpected.

I need a moment here....

Possible, yes. Good idea - not really. Reason being, is they will occasionally dismount, without saying anything to you. And might be days before you notice.

Better idea - save locally, and use a external drive of some type to store backup files. The backup software will usually have a way to email you a status every morning - so at least you will know if there is a problem.

Male genetics there....

but you are more than welcome to try on me !

So....are you good at seducing someone?
Have you tried recently ( or are currently?)

Funny!!

Cue all the strange fetish emails though! ha ha ha.

Thanks, Lil!

Dunno - but am certainly willing to test the theory.

Connect to yourself....but don't try cybering yourself, that is just strange....

Seriously....just get some other folks to conenct up, and tell you what sort of picture they get. Should be okay, as long as you are seeing a 'local' picture.
