Greetings
    I thought I'd offer my take on politics here at home:
      "Guy Fawkes, where are you now when your Country needs you?"
        That just about covers it. Thank you for your time.

          Wasn't he the one who tried to blow up Parliament IIRC around 1600?

          Perhaps he had the right idea. The US definately needs something to get Congress off of its dead ass and actually back top work. Anything that shakes them up is to the good.

          Guy Fawkes is the first ever person to attempt to light a fire under a parliaments collective ass to get them to move with appropriate speed in an appropriate direction..... mainly faster then a snail, and upwards and onwards...... =D

          Ignore those helicopters. We only got the black ones because the dealership wanted an extra $1800 for metallic blue or silver.

          Question, I heared in the UK that the elderly and crippled are allowed to starve to death in death houses on radio propaganda against Obama care. Can it be it true UK guys? God even Adolf Hitler used a humane shot at the start of the Holocaust.

          I'm suspecting that was sarcasm? Of course that doesn't happen. Well, honestly compels me to admit that it did happen once, several years ago. It wasn't 'allowed', someone screwed up rotas for home-carers and someone with dementia was left without care for a month and died as a result. But can anyone honestly say that has never happened in thei country, whatever system they hve?

          I heard tonight (on TV so it must be true) that the USA has the best politicians that money can buy.
          Our reasonably new state government has a number of conspiracy theorists on it. Apparently fluoridated water is a mind control device, daylight saving causes the curtains to fade, and vaccination is a UN plot to ensure world domination. I'm waiting for the legislation to declare that pi is 3.

                      Ugh, the building is just collateral damage when you are trying to get the vermin :D
