Quote>"them" didn't sneak across the borders . . . . "Them" came in in much higher percentages than Mexicans do today, worked the jobs no one else wanted, and got called names. All blacks were shiftless. All irish were lazy drunks. Laws were passed against them. (sound familiar?)---------- Big difference here Bill. Your "Them" came here legally and wanted to become Americans. >freeload off the social services ?? They pay taxes; why shouldn't they get services? If you made them exempt from taxes, then I would agree that they should not get any social services. But that's not the case.--------------- They walk across an international border illegally and demand social services the first day. >demand their native language be taught in schools, etc. etc. They don't do that. US politicians do that, to try to curry favor with voters..................... Yep. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Johnson.I believe Johnson and his cronies were responsible for the needless deaths of Americans in Vietnam. I believe he did it for money and I believe he was an idiot for trying to run the war from his desk with friends like Robert McNamera. I also wonder what part he played in the assination of President Kennedy. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Larger lithium ion batteries are the ones I wondered about. Funny you should mention Hybrids. It's also part of the name of a company that uses these batteries. They have some interesting products. Clicky http://www.hybridtechnologies.com/ I called them up more than a week ago and asked what happened to old large batteries. The man I talked to did not have a clue and promised to get back to me. Haven't hear from anybody yet. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Lithium batteries, even when fully charged are still considered HAZMAT because they can off gas. After a lithium battery is expended it has to be properly disposed of and is still handled as HAZMAT. We use a good deal of Lithium batteries in the Military and when ever we travel we have to do HAZMAT docs on them, even the spent ones. Looks like huge disposal problems if whole civilian vehicle fleets are lithium powered in the future. I understand the military use and need.

Lithium powered automobiles and motorcycles are being touted as clean energy. What happens to large lithium batteries when they are worn out? Are they recycled or do they become more hazmat? Anybody familiar with this? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Shooting and turbines ruined my hearing long ago. I gave away my older ditter to an old guy like me at Couch Freaks last summer. This old guy apparently could still hear it in freefall.

Hey, I like little cute baby seals. Maybe they are having more babies because of the slaughter. Would the white sharks, killer whales, and polar bears increase if the killing stopped?

This article came out of Europe; not the United States. The author was showing a modern trend in Europe and compared it to the past. I agree that our own government could be doing the same thing if we don't yell and scream. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Just found this. History repeats itself because we let it..... Europe Thy Name Is Cowardice It's fascinating that this should come out of Europe. Mathias Dapfner, Chief Executive of the huge German publisher Axel Springer AG, has written a blistering attack in DIE WELT, Germany's largest daily paper, against the timid reaction of Europe in the face of the Islamic threat. This is a must read by all Americans. History will certify its correctness. EUROPE - THY NAME IS COWARDICE (Commentary by Mathias Dapfner CEO, Axel Springer, AG) A few days ago Henry Broder wrote in Welt am Sonntag, "Europe - your family name is appeasement." It's a phrase you can't get out of your head because it's so terribly true. Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated too long before they noticed that Hitler had to be fought, not bound to toothless agreements. Appeasement legitimized and stabilized Communism in the Soviet Union, then East Germany, then all the rest of Eastern Europe where for decades, inhuman suppressive, murderous governments were glorified as the ideologically correct alternative to all other possibilities. Appeasement crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in Kosovo, and even though we had absolute proof of ongoing mass-murder, we Europeans debated and debated and debated, and were still debating when finally the Americans had to come from halfway around the world, into Europe yet again, and do our work for us. Rather than protecting democracy in the Middle East, European Appeasement, camouflaged behind the fuzzy word "equidistance," now countenances suicide bombings in Israel by fundamentalist Palestinians. Appeasement generates a mentality that allows Europe to ignore nearly 500,000 victims of Saddam's torture and murder machinery and, motivated by the self-righteousness of the peace movement, has the gall to issue bad grades to George Bush... Even as it is uncovered that the loudest critics of the American action in Iraq made illicit billions, no, TENS of billions, in the corrupt U.N. Oil-for-Food program. And now we are faced with a particularly grotesque form of appeasement. How is Germany reacting to the escalating violence by Islamic Fundamentalists in Holland and elsewhere? By suggesting that we really should have a "Muslim Holiday" in Germany? I wish I were joking, but I am not. A substantial fraction of our (German) Government, and if the polls are to be believed, the German people, actually believe that creating an Official State "Muslim Holiday" will somehow spare us from the wrath of the fanatical Islamists. One cannot help but recall Britain's Neville Chamberlain waving the laughable treaty signed by Adolph Hitler, and declaring European "Peace in our time". What else has to happen before the European public and its political leadership get it? There is a sort of crusade underway, an especially perfidious crusade consisting of systematic attacks by fanatic Muslims, focused on civilians, directed against our free, open Western societies, and intent upon Western Civilization's utter destruction. It is a conflict that will most likely last longer than any of the great military conflicts of the last century - a conflict conducted by an enemy that cannot be tamed by "tolerance" and "accommodation" but is actually spurred on by such gestures, which have proven to be, and will always be taken by the Islamists for signs of weakness. Only two recent American Presidents had the courage needed for Anti-appeasement: Reagan and Bush. His American critics may quibble over the details, but we Europeans know the truth. We saw it first hand: Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War, freeing half of the German people from nearly 50 years of terror and virtual slavery. And Bush, supported only by the Social Democrat Blair, acting on moral conviction, recognized the danger in the Islamic War against Democracy. His place in history will have to be evaluated after a number of years have passed. In the meantime, Europe sits back with charismatic self-confidence in the multicultural corner, instead of defending liberal society's values and being an attractive center of power on the same playing field as the true great powers, America and China. On the contrary - we Europeans present ourselves, in contrast to those arrogant Americans", as the World Champions of "tolerance", which even (Germany's Interior Minister) Otto Schily justifiably criticizes. Why? Because we're so moral? I fear it's more because we're so materialistic, so devoid of a moral compass. For his policies, Bush risks the fall of the dollar, huge amounts of additional national debt, and a massive and persistent burden on the American economy - because unlike almost all of Europe, Bush realizes what is at stake - literally everything. While we criticize the "capitalistic robber barons" of America because they seem too sure of their priorities, we timidly defend our Social Welfare systems. Stay out of it! It could get expensive! We'd rather discuss reducing our 35-hour workweek or our dental coverage, or our 4 weeks of paid vacation... Or listen to TV pastors preach about the need to "reach out to terrorists. To understand and forgive". These days, Europe reminds me of an old woman who, with shaking hands, frantically hides her last pieces of jewelry when she notices a robber breaking into a neighbor's house. Appeasement?

AP • Reuters • Photos Police: Homeless Man Tries to Steal Sheep Feb 22, 8:29 PM (ET) LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A homeless man who police say tried to take a sheep from the Little Rock Zoo has been arrested on numerous charges. A security guard at the zoo called police Tuesday evening after spotting a man carrying a trash can with a sheep in it, a police report said. When officers arrived Grady Allen Carnahan, 32, told them he was a doctor and the sheep was sick. He said he was taking the animal to a veterinary clinic, the report said. Carnahan fought with officers as they were trying to take him into custody, police said. He was arrested on a felony charge of violating an animal facility and on misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass, cruelty to animals, resisting arrest, and theft of property. The animal was returned to its pen at the zoo. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
