    the Big Problem the audit would "uncover" has nothing to do with the dollar's worthlessness, but in majority of people finding out our Federal Reserve is just local branch of international banking cartel, manipulating th economy of and draining jobs and wealth from the U.S. for those in a position to take advantage of economic cycles.

    we should have some virginity/sexuality slashdot polls, to see if the results roughly correlate to any slashdot stereotypes (yes, that means results have at least 50% probability of being nonsense, but fun 100% certain)

    having sex with a menstruating woman is utterly harmless, though perhaps messy. A list of diseases beef cattle can transmit is no shorter than a hog's list. And I'll take swine flu over mad cow disease any day of the week.

    The answer to your question is that Jews and Muslims both follow a false religion worshiping an imaginary god who doesn't exist, with a whole list of random rules thought up by the most worthless and power-grubbing sector of their society

    you mean it was re-gaining traction. Funny how it took western civilization over 1500 years to get back to where medicine was at the peak of the Roman Empire. Marcus Varro, 36 B.C. "and because there are bred certain minute creatures which cannot be seen by the eyes, which float in the air and enter the body through the mouth and nose and there cause serious diseases". Other Roman doctors know to use antiseptics and antibiotics, and knew of germs/viruses by indirect means. Of course, 600 years before that, Indian civilization knew and wrote of living infectious agents they couldn't see , and had drugs and procedure to kill them and to inoculate.

    But in the mid 19th century U.S. physicians were putting leaches on Abraham Lincoln, the primitive morons.
