How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It's Science


But which came first? Kind of a chicken/egg thing.

You'd have to be dumb to eat paint chips, which make you more dumb, but if you were already dumb, you'd just get dumber, and anywhere along that continuum of decline you can trust Government... :shrug:

That means we'll have a great summer

Jack and I surly would be great friends. That is a picture of ME, when I come out after a month long drinking binge.
He is bloated and swollen from dehydration. Hasn't shaved or showered in weeks. Just like me.

Yeah. We'd be happy even if they where almost naked.
If the guy is not your father or brother, and he is under 55 paying lots of attention to you, then ... yes.
There is a high probability that he wants you naked.

   I am truly blessed that I found a Beautiful Woman that likes to be Naked.

Besides the obvious intended use (not going to give it away)  I used them to hold quarters for the Washateria way way back in the Day.

There were always spares of these around for use, for when you "messed up" a roll.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Actually, one held just about the right charge of calcium carbide for a carbide lamp. We'd each have a dozen or so either in packs or in the pouches of M1 Garand ammo belts on us while crawling around in caves...  They were watertight, for the most part, and that made them ideal.
