| The WORD of the Week |
Matthew 3:7-10
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

-

The Reformer: I love the blurb about crime.
The Reformer and Jersey: NASA is so totally awesome in so many ways. First of all, you remember what happened when the U.S. made space travel the most important thing in the nation. We were in the middle of a cold war, the Russians wanted to get out there, too, and America was struggling to find an identity that didn't involve colonialism and baby killing. The NASA space program, particularly Apollo 11, brought the nation together. I'm not one for fancy rhetoric or political propaganda, but every house in the nation was glued to the TV and radio for the lunar landing.
The technological advancements that the U.S. realized while they were devoted to space exploration was unprecedented and unmatched. If we focus more of our efforts on putting a man on Mars, I think alot of good could come out of it. I think that if we dumped $1 trillion dollars into NASA (the aprox. cost of this war) we would have some A-freaking-Mazing technology available in the American consumer market as well as other markets like national defense and international trade markets.
So get up on off my balls about NASA. You know you used to want to be an Astronaut...until they stopped having them do their job.
-
Cobra: Get off your own balls about NASA. Yes, exploring Mars is great. Yes new technology is great. But 1 trillion dollars??? Dude seriously lay off the grass a bit. Exploring space is not exactly as important as repairing this God forsaken Nation. When our borders are secure, welfare junkies stop ripping off the govt and the govt stops pretending its doing the best it can then we can put awhole fucking colony on Mars.
Yes I did want to be an astronaut until i learned the pay sucks and going to space isnt guaranteed.
-
First of all, Astronauts make bank, doggy. And after you come home, you can totally write a book. Or write a book in space and market as the first book written in zero gravity.
And I'm not saying that we should give NASA a trillion dollars. I was simply illustrating (without pictures) how the cost of this war could've been spent in more productive ways.
And why does everyone continue to insist that God has forsaken this "Nation?" Wait a second, I have Pat Robertson on hold, he wants you off his soap-box.
-
America: Good
Familes: Good
Society: Comprised of individuals
Individuals: Responsible for themselves (AMEN!!)
Crime: Strict
Death Penalty: Yes
Abortion: No
Taxes: Low
Borders: Closed, Closed, Closed!
Government: Less
Fed. Welfare/Medicare/Medicaid: No (possibly responsibility of philonthropic, non-profit organizations, like I don't know... THE CHURCH!)
Market: Free (and I'll even go with the "-ish")
Natn'l Defense: Strong
But I do completely agree with you that these are changed that should come but should come slowly, that was a very good amendment.
So I guess this makes me a liberal? Excuse me, I have to go buy a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker.
-
Yea they make bank.. NOT. "If a student has hopes for a large salary comparable to those in the private sector--look elsewhere. Astronauts begin their salary in accordance with the US Government pay scale at GS-11 (approximately $39,000.) status and top off at GS-14 (approximately $78,000). " Yea I could write a book. But that would mean Im Gay. But seriously i understand your illustrating a point. I was merely "fucking" with you without actually penetrating your anus. I dont insist anything. I merely used it as an expression, if God had forsaken the nation, the Iraq war would be the least of our worries.

I think it's interesting that the death penalty one seems to be split down the middle right now... no matter how you answered the other questions. What's up with that? So, Rockel, since this is your blog... why are you for the death penalty?
-
America: God's Chosen People
Families: A village.
Society: Made up of villages.
Individuals: Product of Darwin.
Crime: Don't hate the criminal, hate the crime.
Death Penalty: Only when it involves concrete shoes, a large body of water, and the word fishees.
Abortion: Need more picket fences.
Taxes: How else are we gonna find oil on Mars?
Borders: I prefer the library.
Government: I like to blame non-tangible objects.
Fed. Government: Reminds me that the hedges need trimming.
Fed. Welfare/Medicare/Medicaid: I gotta support my wife somehow.
Market: Buy local.
Natn'l Defense: Really think we need to drop the 2-3 zone and go back to man-to-man

| Lyrics of the Week |
ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits
("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")
sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.
so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.
and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.
so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.
so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.
so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
