and, yes, I'm just freaking kidding.

Yes, down with sick birds of prey!

[Spidey]

Careful what you wish for…

Plenty of people around here might not pass those tests either.

Yes, down with sick birds of prey!

That would require a space.

Maybe all those Guatemalans and Hondurans are just here to take the grade school classes that americans don't want to take.

[Ferno]

Well, I wouldn't want any illeagles either. They wouldn't survive beyond two weeks in the wild.

[callmeslick]

as someone wrote someplace: People can be taught to spell, People can be taught to hate. Apparently, however, it's either one or the other.

Or maybe we should put a sign that reads 'voting is for human cattle' on every voting booth so people would finally understand that politics isn't based on benevolence.

[callmeslick]

do you think it OUGHT to be, Burlyman? To my mind, politics ought to be about GOVERNING and REPRESENTATION of cogent points of view.
