I need to read the Thompson book, I loved the movie, and some of his other writings. Kurt Vonnegut was a genius, his books are wonderful. Catch 22 was funny and sad all at the same time. At least it ended well. Douglas Adams wrote a lot of funny books. One of the funniest books I've ever read was "A Certain Chemistry" by Mil Millington. I laughed so hard through that whole book. He's got a couple others, but that one floored me. I'm gonna hafta check out this Confederacy of Dunces.... And moira's To Say Nothing of the Dog. -
Namaste RWK. Glad you enjoyed the pics. Thats what they're there for...to help us through the withdrawal. :D

Financial bailout bill does not pass
Parabola replied to neesek's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Its nice to see hugs in with the disagreements. :) Does the roll call indicate how the representees feel, along with how the representative voted, for comparison? -
Financial bailout bill does not pass
Parabola replied to neesek's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I understand, but its getting bad already. My grandparents lived through the Great Depression as well, and they didn't have luxory of being well off. And I understand your point, I've listened to the ways the bailout would save the economy. Or rather, could save the economy. For now. Maybe. Its all props though, and I'd rather face the hardship now then later, or have my kids face it as adults. And actually, I'm quite encouraged by how so many people in the country are saying NO to the bailout, even with the consequences it could bring. Kinda restores my faith a little bit in people. But I'm d*** mad that the vast majority of representatives are doing what THEY want instead of turning to their representees and asking them what they want. This is why representative government is a crock. -

Parabola replied to neesek's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Does anyone think this needs to fail, the economy needs to crash, we need to hit bottom, consequences be d***ed? Our economic system is messed up, its not going to be fixed with bandaids and bailouts. I understand how potentially bad this can be, but I think bailing out the big guys, leaving the rest of us to struggle is the worse solution. I think to keep basing our economy on credit is the worse solution. And to not pass the right kind of regulation to keep it from happening again (because you know thats what would happen once the crisis is over) is unacceptable. Maybe I'm out in left field, but I really think this may need to happen. -
You will know (the good from the bad) when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

Another episode of "Would You Eat This?"
Parabola replied to ereks mom's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I'd eat them too. I always set the next evening's meat out to thaw in the sink overnight, then put it in the fridge in the morning. Never a problem. -
Yes, he has acres and acres of wine vinyards now. I'm so sad. I'm supposed to be his obsession. :crying:
And yes, Jenny rocks!

Well how exciting was it stalking me...NOT VERY. Its part of the job of a stalker to stalk through good times and bad. Through rain or sleet or snow, and boring stalkees. The Stalker's Oath.
