I had the best pork sandwich ever. There was not a cloud in the sky. And although I hear the cops are rather corrupt, they were nothing but nice to me.

The list should eliminate a whole bunch of words. Having this many could lead to a whole lot of sifting through communications for threats that aren't there. This of course means they would have less time finding the threats that are there.

doing a great job. Since I'm truly on your side, you can look more closely at other people first.



Have you heard about the two campers and the bear?

The story is that while both campers had taken off their boots and were getting for the night, they heard a bear in the bushes.

One of them started putting his boots on. The other said, "Be still. Even if you put your boots on, you won't be able to out-run the bear."

The other one said. "I don't need to out-run the bear. I only need to out-run you."

Search results but was busy with a site which had started in November of 2000 as we watched the coup of 2000 unfold, day by day. I wasn't signed up at DU then, so all I saw were lots of little lines. Opening up page after page was difficult, so I didn't join in at the time.

The other place was good through 2008 when a bitter schism took place between the Hillary and Obama supporters. It was shocking to see those who left saying then, they've vote for McCain. It was as DUers have seen, easier to unite while Bush was there. They never came back and went all GOP on us. Lost a lot of net friends that year.

Of the others that were left, most got into the CT stuff and were lost to the Dark Side (GOP) and the conservative goons took over everything. So I'm glad to be here now!

Mon May 28, 2012, 12:58 AM
May 2012

but I was pretty far from the border with Mexico, even though I was close to the airport. What I really liked about San Diego was the weather. They didn't have a single tornado (also known as a twister) while I was there, and although a hurricane is a remote possibility. Of course there was never any snow and a blizzard was completely out of the question. Aside from the occasional earthquake the area is pretty immune to disasters, although a brush fire once came close to our house.

We lived just half a mile from the Interstate, and even though the soil wasn't the best in the world, using avian poo instead of chemical agents we could practice organic agriculture and raise some mighty fine home grown strawberries. The enriched soil in our plot gave us strawberries that literally burst with flavor. So it turned out that those so-called authorities, who thought they were so smart in telling me my attempt to raise strawberries would be a failure, were just a gang of know-it-alls who turned out to be wrong.

It does not look like using the words results in arrest.

The government would have to be as hopeless as the right wing wants us to believe it is if it cannot tell the difference between people using the words because they are discussing something or using them as part of a terrorist plot.
