  1. They forgot to compare unemployment rates between then and now.

    In a vacuum, the data is correct, in the real world it's only a portion of the story.

    Careful, I got downmodded for posting a link about how we actually consume it in our prepackaged foods. I think you have to bash trump to avoid being downmodded..

    No reason it couldn't happen to transportation.

    Huh, So everyone is going to drive a jeep wrangler?

    Because if the answer is "no", you have your reason why it isn't going to happen.

    I'm not a Starfleet commander, or T.J. Hooker. I don't
    live on Starship NCC-170... , or own a phaser. I don't
    know anybody named Bones, Sulu, or Spock (picture of Dr.
    Benjamin Spock is shown on screen behind him). And no,
    I've never had green alien sex, but I'm sure it'd be
    quite an evening. (Pomp and Circumstance begins playing.)
    I speak English and French, not Klingon! I drink
    Labatt's, not Romulan ale! And when someone says to me
    'live long and prosper', I seriously mean it when I say,
    'get a life'. My doctor's name is not McCoy, it's
    Ginsberg (nude picture of Dr. Ginsberg shown on screen).
    And tribbles were puppets, not real animals. PUPPETS! And
    when I speak, I never, ever talk like Every. Word. Is.
    Its. Own. Sentence. I live in California, but I was
    raised in Montreal. And I believe in priceline.com, where
    you never have to pay full price for airline tickets,
    hotels, and car rentals! I've appeared onstage at
    Stratford, at Carnegie Hall, Albert Hall, and the
    Monkland Theatre in NDG. And, yes, I've gone where no man
    has gone before, but... I was in Mexico and her father
    gave me permission! My name is William Shatner, and I am
    Canadian!

    It's unfortunate that they are going to just let this be renewed, it was bad enough under Bush, but at least they are not expanding it like Obama did.

    Question, if you could afford a ferrari, bugatti veyron, or perhaps a rolls royce - would you buy one?

    You do know that taking a piece off a pig and cooking it does not translate to bacon.

    There is a process that is involved that makes it a bit worse for you before it tastes like bacon.

    No, I remember the news story that was on TV telling me about the advancing Glaciers and measuring them, in addition to the annual pictures played as proof of the advancing glaciew. In the 70's they indeed thought we were headed into an ice age, and in fact there were quite a few novels written at the time about just such a thing in order to capitalize on that. I am a time traveler who was there back at that time, and took the slow way of getting here to post about it.
