I had read that people from the Andes have larger rib cages due to breathing thin air. If this is true, wouldn't that be an example of human evolution?

It took many years to build the state and it will take many years to dismantle it. Most people are very happy to let the government provide for them from cradle to grave so it will be tough sledding. Utopia is not an option but if people do not know there is another way to govern, things will never move in my direction.

I am not aware of laws regarding the internet. I thought this was the closest thing to the wild west in the 21st century.

I went to government schools because at the time I did not not know anything else. Now I do everything I can to promote private schools.

If a person uses roads he should pay for them by gas and automobile taxes.

I accept the government set up by Jefferson and Madison. The government set up by Roosevelt and Johnson I do not accept.

customer finds employee's finger in frozen custard'i'll just put it in my mouth and ... see what it is,' man said.

wilmington, north carolina (ap) -- a man who ordered a pint of frozen chocolate custard in a dessert shop got a nasty surprise inside -- a piece of severed finger lost by an employee in an accident.. unlike a recent incident at a wendy's restaurant in california, no questions of truth have been raised about the finger served up to go at kohl's frozen custard and found later at home by clarence stowers.. officials from the state departments of agriculture and labor went to the shop monday, and the owner confirmed one of his employees lost part of a finger in an accident with a food-processing machine.

I thought this was going to be about Michael Jackson.

After 100 years of federal food and drug laws you still cannot prevent every instance of contamination.

What's this thing about guys not wanting to neuter/spay their pets?

according to yesterday's (may 1) article in parade magazine, one of the main causes of dogs biting is a male that's not neutered.

we have a beautiful golden retriever that is about 10 months old.

sometimes he's out of control and i want to neuter the dog but my husband has steadfastly refused.

I have no problem with killing dogs. I have a problem with nuetering dogs.

DaCheech:

All Social programs are wrong and should be scrapped. The government should have no role in retirement, healthcare or education. All of these things should be 100% private enterprise. It is not my responsibility to take care of your mother and it is not your responsibility to take care of my mother.

It is a shame that the Republicans are not dismantling Social Security. If they were I would switch parties and become a Republican in a heartbeat. Republicans believe the same baloney as Democrats. They both mistakenly think that the purpose of government is to help people do what they cannot do themselves. The only difference between the two parties is how much taxpayer money is given to whom.

The only proper function of government is to provide a military, courts and police. Anything else is wrong no matter how good or noble the objective.

I could never nueter any of my male dogs. I would feel that I was nuetering myself.

Last year I went to New Hampshire to look for a job. I raised a few eyebrows by saying,"y'all" and "howdy"

I find it very funny that Mexicans would be so concerned about accents. It is not as if they speak perfect Castillian Spanish.

I have heard that Argentines speak Spanish with an Italian accent.

Personality Wise----Are You THAT Much Different Since Leaving The "Truth"?

i believe that most people are what they are----whether they were jws or are exes.

for example, if you were a basically happy go lucky person in the hall, you probably have that same nature now.

conversely, if you were accused of always complaining and being miserable then, you probably still bitch and moan now.

I am the same person, but I no longer look over my shoulder for fear of "stumbling" anyone and I no longer sacrifice myself for others.
