    Lysol on the 2004 Florida Presidential Ballot
    Lysol on the 2004 Florida Presidential Ballot

    Gary Niger (GNAP [Gay Nigger Associated Press]), West Palm Beach, FL. - With just 50 days remaining until a landmark US presidential election that is still too close to call, Florida Governor Jeb Bush announced Thursday (9/23) that GNAA operative Lysol will be appearing on the election ballot.

    "I know that Lysol officially dropped out of the race 6 months ago, but like Ralph Nader, and all liberal candidates, I think he deserves a fair shot.", said Bush.

    Amid questions to the governor and brother of incumbent President asking if this is just a ploy to take away votes from John Kerry, the Democratic nominee, Bush said "Um..LOL JEWS", and immediately left the conference.

    GNAA psuedo-member DiKKy was seen saying "LOL HY LOL HY LOL" shortly after.

    It is assumed that these rumors are not true however, as most analysts feel George W. Bush will carry Florida, as it has already been announced that Florida's black votes will not be counted.

    About Lysol

    Lysol is a gangster. Before dropping out of the race, Lysol took a firm stance on the rights of gay niggers everywhere, as well as being pro-abortion. Considered to be a member of the radical-left, many felt his attitude towards politics was a refreshing change from "Old fucks that worship Jesus".

  3. Prepare yourselves... by Reality+Master+101 · · Score: 1, Troll
    My prediction: If any private company gets within sniffing distance of sending people to Mars, the environmentalists and scientists will go hand-in-hand screaming about contaminating the native environment.

    And they'll get a lot of sympathetic ears, too. The crowd here on Slashdot who grew up on "gee wow" Science Fiction stories won't want to believe it, but my gut feeling is that once regular people start thinking about it, they won't want to see Mars screwed up.

    And settlements on Mars are even less likely. Mars is a completely unique environment. It simply won't be allowed.

    And please spare me talk about treaties, and land rights, etc, etc, blah blah. Planetary exploration is not like anything else. There is no precident.

    What will the earth governments do about it, you ask? A Mars colony will not be able to be self sufficient from a single launch. Without support from the Earth, it will die, period.

Germans have always been at the forfront of technology, again most of the nuclear scientist on both sides of the cold war were from Germany also...we just got more first because of the stupid Nazis!!!

    Some balance will have to be struck. If the UN actually enforced this (unlikely--has the UN enforced anything lately?), then that would be kiss of death for space development. Why run the risks if you had to give away all the proceeds?

    The UN can't enforce anything. They are not a state, they have no method of enforcement. The best they can do is pass a resolution for member countries to attack. Anything else would be an infrindgement of US sovergntiy.
