Too many rednecks there, not enough tree people, and part of America's problem!

Our rightwing elements have been screaming to reduce health care standards, public education, environmental science and Constitutional freedoms while the total bail out (unaccountable welfare) this morning is at 1.8 trillion dollars, given to those who always maintained that everyone else has to "suck-up to their own responsibilities". Getting interesting over here!

There are risks when inhaling fungal spores - we're a biological growing media inside. Which spores are the question and most cases of pneumonia are treated successfully without the physician ever running a swab test to find the source of infection. In the U.S. there's a deadly aerogenosa bacteria that lives in all soils, most people aren't affected but some do die. On the fear thing - me being from Texas and all....My God there are terrorists everywhere, posing as brown people picking our fruits and vegetables, lawyers and policewomen who are really Muslims waiting to kill us for being Americans, workers at our nuclear plants who are waiting for George Bush to leave office, then they're going to leak radioactive water into our school supplies and hospitals!!! We even have a secret Islamist extremeist who's fixing to win the presidential election and most Germans and all French people are going to bomb us soon, and every tomato we eat gave us foul bowel movements - another terror act to force us to bomb Iran soon, because they're fixing to launch nuke missle at us and they can be here in less than ten minutes!!! Just glad we're committing to being in Iraq forever and teaching them a thing or two about democracy so we've avoided that terror threat and we're teaching Godly ways to those sand eating - turbin-wearing heathens. We're scared as hell here, everyone's out to destroy us because they think they want to have and own everything we've worked real hard for and they haven't lifted a finger because they only know bombs and poisonous stuff. I know this because our President said so - and our press loves him and everything he says because it's true.

Of all the murderous and criminal elements that is religion as we know it today (not including Peganism or Hinduism), the bicycle story sums-up beautifully what reality Christianity presents us with. I'm going to use that story from now on, if you don't mind.

Those proposals like "permaculture" and "sustainability" sound subversive to our great God-given oil culture. Adam and Eve were shunned out of paradise for the same sort of 'search' for alternatives. What Christianity gave us (the endless oil reserves underground) to use and burn with impunity, shall be used just as that and talk of finding "other" means is almost blasphemous. Why do you think we Americans elected the Bush's and Dick Cheney (a wonderfully successful oil man) to run our country and stabilize the rest of the world? If Jesus were alive today (blame the Jewish people), he would drive a Chevrolet Super Suburban 200 yards to get his mocha-almond double fudge Latte!!

I'd probably believe the oil forecast from that ex-Bush energy advisor....Bush and his people are spot on with accurate assessments of WMD's and who the real terrorists are (brown people, or, people not bright white and don't love Jesus). So far everything Bush has done to help America stay strong and respected in the world (after taking over from those God-hating communist Liberal homosexuals) has advanced our society to be the richest in the world, so rich China is our friend now and left-wing dictators around the world are investing in our great industries that are growing beyond all expectation. Blacks in Africa and Arabs tresspassing in Isreal are afraid of us and jealous of our rich resources that we give away free to struggling nations for nothing mroe than a hope they will soon be just like us and leave poverty and Godlessness behind. Bush follows - and contributes to order and laws made to insure the world will never again have Hitlers or Pol Pots and we're even giving away heating oil free (or at low cost) to unfortunate Mexicans living under brutal dictators (that support gay marriage) in Central America and makes sure they all have jobs picking bananas or growing coffee where before they lived in caves and worshipped chicken bones and sometimes ate their own children. America has a ton of oil and shares it throughout the world, only taking a little bit for our own use and that's mostly used for short efficient trips to hospitals and busses for school kids 'cause we're driving the most efficient cars invented...we invented them!! There's no oil shortage and the companies that left wingers claim are profiting record incomes, well, they work hard to get us our fuel and are using those monies to make better cars, like 70miles per gallon cars which we're inventing here and all the world is jealous...that's why they want to terrorize us. Help Bush and America by burning more fuel, and light some fires to burn more forests - the land God gave us to farm corn on, not save some dirty little furry animal. There's plenty of fuel and plenty of food, Bush said so.

If we kiss the Pope's feet, approve of America's War Of Terror, and lie to customers about how well we do our jobs, we'll get to go to Heaven while the rest of the world burns in Hell. That's about it for religion.

Knowing you all never had much choice in the price of fuel, I feel for you when they increase it parallel as our's is mounting. I am excited, however, that the prospect of civil unrest has high potential. Legislative or religious-based leadership here needs a good wacking, as do many of the populous. Trim the fat sort of, rid the non-thinking from the ranks.

That's an excellent post Jason. From an American who wears the scars of terrorism disguised as awards for service, all sanctioned beliefs use the power of influence from fear and concerted efforts to "appease" or "win the hearts and minds" of people elsewhere, or differing beliefs, is no different than a training camp for Al Queda hiding in Pakistan. When nationalistic pride or ecumenical emotion is co-opted to further the efforts, one can see how easily we fall victim to supporting terror. There's no difference from wearing a backpack of explosives into a marketplace than dropping a democratically elected village mayor out of a chopper at 5 thousand feet - or poisoning rice paddies with Agent Purple - all to make a point. Here we documented our government sending smallpoxed blankets to Indian reservations late in the 19th century, precluding what we like to think was an inexcusable event on 9/11/01. What we haven't done was admit the action, Bin Laden had the honor to usurp us. No, religion's history is cause d' effect of violence and wars, the larger the following the easier it's been to let blood help it's growth, having the gift of thought has only been an obstacle, to be punished so no one else can question God's "authority".

Overall, as a man and an example, he's a good representation of the people who voted for him. Rather than waste the bankrupted monies it would take to force everyone in America to take the National Intelligence Test (where the failures would be banished to Guantanamo forever), we just locate and detain for exile everyone who allowed him into office. Only then can there ever be a chance America might be good again. (sorry for the delay in response...have been packing to leave ahead of economic and social collapse)

Like a pack of Dingo's...one can make a devoted companion whilst 15 will terrorise anything in their way. I agree. Control measures should be considered.

Masterblaster's friends now can shop like he does.

If the cultural differences within the British Isles should ever somehow get along, the real distrust might be appropriately applied to your young cousins over the pond. We're number one! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOT05DsbrAU[/ame]

What's more enlightening is the fact that American greedy board-room directors now import more than half of the prescription drugs used here from factories in China - made to specs approved by those same boards. Worked well with seafood, children's toys, and all WalMart goodies. Americans, some of them, love China.

Conspiracy doesn't even matter - the fact is the lying for the wrong wars...and not even be able to win them...stands itself a pretty hefty reality. Rag tag turban-wearing SKS armed barefoot robed crazies, against what? And their winning? Says a lot about resolve, honor, character, ability, and intelligence.
