My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We'll see about that.
I don't know if this is a quip or not, but I sure as h*ll got tired of hearing it;

Found in an old copy of The Realist mag, dated November, 1964
Between 1950 and 1952, a bored weatherman, stationed north of Hudson Bay, left a monument that neither government nor time can eradicate. Using a bulldozer abandoned by the Air Force, he spent two years and great effort pushing boulders into a single word.
It can be seen from 10,000 feet, silhouetted against the snow. Government officials exchanged memos full of circumlocutions (no Latin equivalent exists) but failed to word an appropriation bill for the destruction of this cairn, that wouldn't alert the press and embarrass both Parliament and Party.
It stands today, a monument to human spirit. If life exists on other planets, this may be the first message received from us.

No. The government never changes whether it's run by the R's or the D's. It always gets bigger, slower, less efficient, and more expensive. I am reminded of the line, often attributed to Will Rogers but actually penned by H.L. Mencken:Quote:

Think of how stupid the average person is; now realize that 50% of them are stupider than that!

"I don't believe in God"

Only based on median average, mean and modal averages will probably produce different results. Hopefully jimbo will weigh in with some statistician facts.Quote:
