I remember paddling mine along with one paddle in the water and the other
side pushing sand on the beach. Not much draw!

Yeah, theere is no problem too big that some sort of socialism can't
solve. After all, Stalin and his fellows had no trouble getting rid
of millions and did manage to decrese the populations of their
countries.

What do you propose?

getting rid of the Muslims? Hindus? Keeping them in the third world
forever?. How about you moving down south and learning to live witht
he lower class in Lating America. They live in harmony with nature.
Oh, I know, will teach the kids to be homosexuals, that will keep the
population from growing. Larry Niven wrote that in a novel one time.
Maybe the man was a profet.

What the **** are you talking about? What has climate science got to do
with Joseph Stalin? Do you clowns actually believe that every material
fact that threatens to impinge upon the value of oil company stock is
somehow related to a mysterious communist conspiracy? You right-wing
monomaniacs need to lay off the crack.

It's not like a Miata; heck, for what it costs to go boating for a
few weekends, I suspect I could swap out the suspension in my M2.

Thank you for taking a stand. I have heard enough right wing "crack"pottism
the last five years to last me a lifetime, and I am not looking for any more.

I don't want to hear it any more either. That is why I responded and I
am helping to continue this thread, so that hopefully I won't have to
see any more discussion on it.
Oh, wait......it doesn't work like that, does it?

****in' A,

Pat

I love glimpses of sanity, I feel like I'm seeing more and more of them but
I'm never quite sure. Thanks Leon.
