Beowulfsfriend comments on Apr 25, 2020:

Only if they take Kentucky and the other red states that do not pay as much into the federal government as they take back. Texas is one of the few red states that pays in more than it receives; i am pretty sure that even they would get tired of paying for other states if they had to do so on their own.

Once, when camping, I had a bear come into my campsite. I had put all the food up on a tree swing. I had left a gallon of water on the table. The mother bear walked over to it and bit it. Water came out and she walked away, leaving me with an excellent bear teeth impression. I expect she hoped it was tea or such.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Apr 22, 2020:

There are some here who have a hierarchy of religions with some as being totally insane crazy. I, too, find correcting their knowledge annoying. As with Christians who rant about Sharia law, I say, I agree that it is evil, just as all Abrahanic law is evil and alk groups have the same basic beliefs. Also, as I rend to point out, which ever religious group controls a country, it tends to demonize and bring down all others not within its fold. The US was founded by a bunch of, at best, marginally religious elite who wanted their leadership to not be constrained by religion - now that truth is being rewritten by the evangelicals. Ah well, I am rambling.
