    Wrong? I don't know, but some cultures believe that Sea Urchin tastes great; and the difference is minimal. Burger King,("have it your way"), you've got to love the irony.

    Monsanto has genetically engineered several of its seeds to be resistant to Roundup. Maybe Monsanto could ask some its folks to adapt hyacinth to make some kind of container like a gourd or coconut? Object would be to have the plant store its gathered heavy metals in there, then harvest the stuff maybe wearing a Bio-Suit? Because that stuff will be nastier than nasty.

    The letter I got said different. I have 4 lines, all phones. What bothers me is that I dump my contract, they can charge me a fee, but from the letter I got, they can dump the contract at will. I don't remember seeing that on the contract at all, and the sales person said nothing about it.

    (Libya, Tripoli) Sign Painters are busy removing Libya's prior reigning ruler's name off the office door at the main palace. It has been a while since the painters have had to do this job. Quoted from one on the painters, "This paint has been on the door way to long." A concerned paint supervisor admonished the paint team by saying, "hurry up, it is almost lunch time."

    I think you could advance to the 1930's. My grandparents approach to medicine was to only go to the hospital when you felt that you were dying. Then also maintain an extra 20 to 30 pounds of fat. Their reasoning was when one got sick, one lived off the fat on their bodies. In today's world, that approach would cause many to raise their eye brows. I don't really know what direction humanity will take, but I believe that access to potable water will be a "corner stone."

  16. Re:Occupy All the Time on What Happens When the Average Lifespan is 150 Years? · · Score: 1

    My view is that the this pea tarty group is itself the ones that expect the community to help them, only. And as for their need to sling racial slurs, or totalitarian slurs, once again, it is the pea tarty group. To date, the pea tartys only contribution to community has been to croak the wishes of their puppet masters, the boch krothers.

    I find myself chuckling at the pea tarty.

    The cliche of, "owes you a living" seems to emanate from the pea tarty; regularly, but no one else supports that argument. Yet the public data shows the pea tarty as a group of receiving government funds and assistance. It is no secret that the pea tarty demands the cancellation of such government practices; I would hope they turn inward, as sign of solidarity. As for the "accountability" issue, several facts are unignorable. The first fact is that the pea tarty is the first to call someone or group a racial type, or totalitarian of some sort; the pea tarty goal is not community, but the opposite. As for the "mess" statement, I personally desire renewable solutions.

  20. Re:Occupy All the Time on What Happens When the Average Lifespan is 150 Years? · · Score: 1

    Public evidence shows that the pea tarty types are but a subset of the "working class." One of their contradictions is that there are multiple instances where this group of people take monies, and assistance from the U.S. government; yet this very act is what they publicly denounce. As a group, the pea tarty seems to have a mean spirited reaction to community members that need medical help. Wishing a tragedy, or death of someone is not a constructive family value. What I find very alarming is that the pea tardy as group are proudly ignorant, so are the Taliban; this correlation makes me cynical of them. Another unsettling outspokenness of the pea tarty is their glorification of greed. My personal wish is that pea tarty would have spawned from the Democratic Party, then my beloved Republican Party would not be so tarnished as it is becoming.
