Nah. 1/3 of the world's population(us, the "west") consumes 95% of the world's resources while the rest work and live to provide this 33% with its consuming needs. If the "west" would consume what it needs instead of what it wants people would be much healthier and resources could be better distributed throughout the world and everyone, everything would benefit. Instead, we are too concerned about making those payments on our big screen TVs and SUVs to care, making a very few extremely rich while the rest of the world is starving to death and/or getting horribly sick. It's not a population control issue, it is a consumption control issue. Looks like Obama agrees with you two: http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5h-wpxs...2Zk5xnYygW1W67w

Epic 100 dog free for all battle where the weak are trampled and the strong get delicious steak dinner. That sounds like my place evey night after work! But i'm the one who usually gets trampled!

Well it won't be a "dream" house. I bought a lot of land, 26 acres, and the price came to $265K. That was the best I could do while still carrying the mortgage on my house in West Palm Beach. Once I sell that one I'll refinance the Tennessee land for enough to build a house. It will be modest but it will be totally mine! The property is really beautiful. It's north of Millington about 8 miles east of the river. It's off a dirt road but I'll need to cut a road to the clearing where I'm thinking to build. I'm going to do the majority of clearing myself. I'm looking at builders now for the house.

The VHEMT group and it's goals are a little laughable. It is a distortion of the entire green movement. Instead of saving the Earth FOR the humans they envision saving it FROM the humans. And they are legit, I did some snooping with google about them. The only thing that would be scary would be if a group such as this one were ever to come into any political power or influence. It is not hard to imagine a group of fanatics pushing for coerced abortions or involuntary sterilization under the dubious premise of it being for the "common good".

Wow, today was a HUGE day for me. I made an offer on some land in Tennessee the other day, today I found out my offer was accepted! I just signed all the paperwork with my mortgage broker this afternoon. And to top it all off I accepted a promotion at work. Thats right, no more RF channel planning, I am going to be the new Tower Structural Engineer and FAA Compliance Officer for the Southern Region. If I can just ride this luck a little longer and sell my house here in Florida quickly. Anyway, since the new job is a regional one there is no time pressure to move up to regional HQ. Things are definitely looking up!

That sucks. If I ever get married I'm getting a prenup but I kind of doubt I ever will because I'm such a misogynist. The divorce wasn't much fun but I did have some leverage going in so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Any pain I might feel when the sale of the house closes was more than made up when I told her about the new place I'm buying.

You just gotta laugh at this stuff!

Link:http://www.vhemt.org/ I would like to announce my unqualified support for this fine organization and the fruits who believe in it. People who believe this stuff should not breed! BTW, they are accepting new members should any of you wish to sign up!

Started getting my house ready to sell. I'm not doing too much since the ex gets half anyway. I made an offer on some land in Tennessee. 26 acres!

First off that really isn't funny even as a joke. Second, no offense meant but it's also a little uninformed. I'm curious. What do you even know about Ralph Nader? Bob Barr? The Libertarian Party? You might want to spend a little quality time with google before responding.

I'm surprised Sand hasn't opined here yet. Here is one instance where he is proven right on the futility of foreign aid and he has nothing to say?

Now reading The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell. Kudos to Hurlshot & Musopticon for the reccomendation it is pretty good. Also reading Dog Man and the Akita about the Japanese farmer who single handedly saved the Akita breed from extinction. This one is a little slow going.

You know, in Celsius that's really keeping the IQ standards low. Doh! Typical American arrogance (or is it ignorance?) forgetting that we are the only country still using the farenhiet scale. Don't even get me started on us not using ther metric system. Sorry everyone, I hang my head in shame!

For you reading enjoyment. This is one of the best, clearest, most concise, and intelligent articles on the evolution of executive power in the US I have ever read. This is exactly what I would have written if I had the brains and ability to articulate. It is not light reading but I highly recommend all US boardies of voting age with a higher than room temperature IQ to give it a look. The Cult of the Presidency

Of course you both are smart enough to know neither of those things will happen.

Well it's been fun but you can stick a fork in Hillary now. She is done. Obama takes lead in Superdelegates

Excellent!! That is the best news I've heard all day. Granted I've only been up for two hours but that will be hard to beat!

Heck Shryke I thought that was obvious. I think he is the son of

Can't argue with that. Looks like Michigan is in. HC gets 69, BO gets 59.

I'm sorry about Sasha's trouble. As far as the anesthesia I would not worry about that, dogs have less trouble with that than humans do. As for the lump,at her age it is far more likely to be fatty cyst. Hopefully thats all it is.

Calax you have my respect and my thanks, for what thats worth. Whatever your motivations are you are a good man and doing more for your country than most people ever will.

Marlins beat the Brewers and Tampa beat Toronto on the road tonight. Can you believe both of these teams are in 2nd place?!
