smells like fishy voter irregularities in ny, az, ma, ia, mo, nv, and the unaudited deep south


the only reason bernie lost the south so badly, is because people barely had heard of him

all the states listed above are under investigation for electoral disenfranchisement

bernie should rightfully be ahead, or at least tied in delegates and popular vote

bernie voters: get dressed for philadelphia convention this summer: where the real deals get made




philadelphia: site of may 14, 1787 constitutional convention -- 229 years ago, where the u.s. constitution was created as a national document, replacing the states-rights' articles of confederation

one way or another, this is where bernie's america, of economic and cultural equality, will exit the mass-media-womb, and be born

hillary is gw bush lite



hillary is gw bush lite, pandering to multi-trillion-dollar-taxpayer-financed-right-wing war machine in the false mantle of global necessity

only i wouldn't think hillary would be much fun having a lite-beer with

it's a rough estimation



biological "age" is subjective

there are suave and sensual people in their seventies, and disgusting slobs in their forties


middle age is when the phone rings and youre glad it's not for you

1 DOG-YEAR/7 PEOPLE-YEARS has been re-calculated by modern veterinarians

In this article, they calculate a 30 year-old dog as over 200 human years.

But a vet told me that the modern calculation is:

Each of first three dog years = 12 human years (each)

All succeeding dog years = 3 human years


So, a 30 year-old dog would be:

Age 1 -> 3 = (3 x 12) = 36 years

Age 4 -> 30 = (27 x 3) = 81 years

So, 36 + 81 = 117 years.

That's a little more believable than only one bionic dog living the equivalent of over 200 human years!

So if your dog is 10
years:

3 years x 12/yr = 36
7 years x 3/yr = 21

10 year-old dog = 57 year-old person

***

15 year-old dog =
(3x12) + (14x3) = 36 + 42 = 78 year-old person


***

It is more reasonable to think of a 15->17 year dog as a person of about 80 years.

A rancher once told me that all his dogs lived to be at least 20 years -- because he fed them raw meat every day.

So, a 20 year-old dog would be:

(3x12) = 36
(17x3) = 51

87 years-old


****

I believe this conversion ratio makes more sense.

Most people die before 90, and most
dogs die way before 30, so it's not reasonable to believe only one dog would live the equalivalent of 200 human years!

As the calculation shows: 117 years seems more "bionically" realistic and consistent.
