Time for a 4 party system?

We now have:
TEA PARTY, REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRAT, and DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST.
(independent is not a party, that says Hey, guess what I am?)

I think I've realized why politics is bugging me so much this time aroind

I'm just getting too old (80) to take all this shit. I don't remember all of this crap going on in getting candidates
elected at the primaries before. (And I presume in the general election.)
Any one remember anything close in the past??

Why belong to the KKK?

My wild guess is this is one way, at least for a politician (and I'm guessing mostly republicans), to show their pure hatred for blacks while
still campaigning for office. Can't admit your true feeling will campaigning now can you?

Am I the only one that didn't know that leaves do not turn color?

Ah ha - the leaves were already that color but as they grew, chlorephyll which is green, cover the color until
fall, then the plants use that chlorephyl up, so the original color shows thru.

Here is a BIG thank you to the Repubs

for a) getting Hillary elected as president and
b) proving, once again, just how stupid they can really be

(can they top this one for stupidity?)

Well, we know for a fact that

the Dem's debaters showed that they are far more intelligent than the Repub debaters.
I don't think they (R's) can come even close to winning the general election.
Each day still brings on something from the R's more stupid than the day before.
Tell me, JUST HOW DUMB can they get?? (can't think of a reason to use a smilie here)

question for people who play games offline on widown 8.1

I used to have HEARTS on my computer before I bought my current 8.1 windows. Now I can't find anyplace
to down load a free version. I do NOT want to play on-line, which is all I've been able to find.
Thanks.

guns and nuts (my LTTE)

Subject: guns and nuts

Does ANY town/city or state have an accurate count of those people who have a mental illness
with a potential propensity for shooting people? Then, does anyone have an accurate count
of guns available and/or already in the hands of these people?

Manufacturers have a precise count of how many guns have been manufactured. We have a
precise count of the number of people in the USA.

You should have gun control that requires every gun to be accounted for by each and every
person that owns one. This kind of law should not be all that difficult to pass.
Locking up ever potential killer is IMPOSSIBLE.

So, which one do we control? Guns is the obvious answer. Also, no one needs an automatic
gun, so make the manufactures discontinue making them. Guns meant for war should not
be available to any one (other than those in the military that are required to have them).

On TYT, question: should schools close on Muslim holidays

NO and they shouldn't close on ANY religious holiday. In fact, do any of the other holidays still have any meaning to very many people anyway? Lets just drop holidays, and add a few days of 'vacation' to the workers benefits.

Left handed

Seems a teacher made major deal about student that wrote left handed, insisted he write with right hand.
When I started school (1942), I wrote with my left hand. My teacher insisted I wright with my right hand.
So, I picked up the pencil with my write hand, and started writing from RIGHT TO LEFT. Did right good at it too. However, the teacher didn't like it so she let me write left handed from then on.
