If dinosaurs left traces, wouldn't an advanced civilization do so? Unless they all just picked up and left, becoming Ancients and tidying up. Cool series of books by Julian May about alien races and humans back millions of years ago, I highly recommend the stuff: Wiki Link As to any of the legends of ancient civilizations, I tend to think that relatively simple advancements made people think of that. Think better bows, steel, and sailing ships centuries ahead of their time, not flying cars.

It is not up to date, it does not list the 50+ each Falcons, Ravens, and Seahawks that fell out of the sky over the weekend...

Link Wow, how do you really prepare for something like that? I would think the state would be crushed and there would be massive loss of life.

Even with a 100% recovery...

I remember watching some live feed from CNN and it was from Kuwait. They heard air raid sirens and then lost the feed for like a minute. I remembered thinking, "!@#$, they just nuked Kuwait or something" and then the feed came back.

My plan is fairly liberal so will get ripped apart, way to miss the point and be an OCin.

Well, we all suspected, but this is sorta confirmation. Bad news: Iran will use this in negotiations. Good news: I win a bet with a friend.

I already posted my thoughts in this thread, but you probably missed it as it did not refer to you in any way. Getting your goat is predictable and easy and for a big picture type, you completely miss how we do it every time. Predictable and dumb is probably not how you picture yourself one imagines, but several of us have joked about how easy it is. We all use the some variation of the same tactic you boob. This bit is a gift, not a put-down, but I bet you don't get that either. As to my thoughts, I will expound: Eliminate all current federal taxes Eliminate the Social Security program or modify it so that people could manage the money in some fashion (people above 45 or so would continue to get benefits, everybody else, gets squat). Establish say a 3% tax on all income under 25k, which becomes progressive above that level. We can increase the percentage if Social Security is to be maintained, but my personal preference would be for say a set percentage that you could choose how to invest for yourself. The default would be a safe investment of some sort (is there such a thing anymore?) Once you pass a net worth of say five million, you get a small % of tax assessed to that wealth that is progressive is well. I am more than willing to quibble over the numbers, but my plan seems more equitable and provides transparency. Everyone realizes what they are paying and has at least some some "skin in the game".

First Chef Jim has a heart and now this? The world really is coming to an end.

It is one IMO. That is a good point about the commas and the h bit. I had an actual technical writer rip my work apart at one point. The comma bit was her pet peeve.

Duuun dun duuun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun BOM BOM dun dun dun dun dun ...

You forgot the fireman's jacket.

He is referring to you, there was a troll here in the past that started a thread about volunteer firefighters being pyromaniacs. I think you are probably him too, but giving you a heads up on the off chance you aren't.

So a cowboy/firefighter would do what to you exactly?

Which is a valid criticism you moron.

It was a sincere offer and a nice one in my opinion. However, Chef doesn't need advice. I do find it sorta funny that he got a little upset that someone messed up his thread. Kettle>Pot (and no Crayonz, Kettle is not a type of drug)

You must be dense. Clearly the nationally televised event was part of an overall, ultra secret conspiracy of Barrack "Hussein" Obama to ban conspiracy theory groups. Several of those t-shirts were infected with the smallpox alpha strain. When conspiracy theory groups point out that the initial outbreak begins in Tucson, Hussein's jack booted thugs will show up to enforce the new ban on such theories. Mark my words. And of course, while all of this is designed to convert the proud USA into a spineless, communist country which abolishes religion in the next two years, that is not it's main goal of concealing the fact he does not have a birth certificate and was born in Kenya. I expect Barry will seize power if he is balked by the new Republican Congress in any way, and faces re-election. Just another African Warlord. P.S. Buy silver, lots of it.

I thought it was Sage's cropper that was broke.

I read Yahoo forums to give me the warm and fuzzies about PPP.

That requires some sort of finger dexterity and marijuana has ruined that. For that matter, even picking up a 2 lb bag (weeks supply) is difficult as my muscles have atrophied so much.

Try to keep up, this copy/paste bit is fatiguing. It takes most of my energy to load the pipe.
