as a man

as a man, i am glad that our stress levels are of no concern or worry because we are uncaring inarticulate louts who prefer to avoid such discussions and concepts altogether.

oh darn! anyone got a tissue?

@Nulla Sallus

"Do you know what causes delays? Being a dumbass. Staring at the green light after you've been waiting for 6 minutes for the light to change. Slowing down randomly and hesitating at that 7th attempt to make a right turn you're not quite sure of. Driving in the left lane 20mph under the speed limit when ANYONE is behind you. Not yielding to the right or making any left turn because God forbid anyone in your fucking zipcode is coming down the road at you. That's what slows you down."

In my neck of the woods all the people who do those things are so well coordinated that they never fail to use a cellphone while doing all those things, but you forgot about the idiots who pull out in front of you while you are driving because they forgot that they have necks, or the pedestrians who will stop dead in a crosswalk and stand there spending 30 seconds on their cellphone right in front of you before they look up, turn and look at you waiting for them to walk on and give you a look like YOU are the idiot.

@The Voice of Reason

They stopped putting sugar in the soft drinks. it is now only high fructose corn sweetner which makes you fat and sick.

I drink sugar containing sodas from whole foods or guarana antartica.

Sugar is fuel. Fructose has to be converted by the liver to fat and stored before the body can use it. They have been deliberately fattening up and sickening the population for some perverse reason like making more money off of us because without the fuel we just will keep buying and consuming more of the stuff that doesn't give us what we think it does because it tastes sweet.

They might as well sweeten the sodas with anti-freeze. tThat used to be an ingredient ion Mountain Dew. I stopped drinking it when i read the ingredients back in the 1980s.

Coke and pepsi, no energy, no pep. They have adulterated their once fine products.

What about Oprah?

Can she be his running mate?

Either way, the Dems are going to blow this one and either Romney or Huckabee will be the next president.

Obana Oprah 08 - sounds damn poetic, don't it?

That ticket would have a better chance than the one they choose.

Same old same old.

A corporate shill who pretends that he isn't.

His primary draw is that he in not Clinton, is tall and has a nice smile.

That's all we need to defeat the warbuckers . . .

right.

He wants to send the troops to Afghanistan and Pakistan where the real action is?

Put the brave hero in the front line holding an American Flag and a bullseye in front of our troops facing the foe.

The two real candidates are of no interest to the media, the parties and the voters.

The corporations want either Clinton or Romney, the rest is just dressing the set with extras.

As long as all the candidates support the warbuckers no one is going to get shot. If Ron Paul breaks out, maybe, but before that they would simply not count the votes. Rigging an election is far easier and cheaper unless you really want to prove a point or settle a score.

The media ignores, ridicules or attacks Paul and Kucinich because they are not on the warbuckers team. The media is a tool of the warbuckers, corporate consumerism and the drug industry and why should they promote their enemies?

Look at broadcast television - psycho criminal/psycho cop shows, people talking to dead people, vampire detectives, gruesome murders and autopsies for fun, terror terror terror, nefarious plots by the usual villains, shows where people screw each over to win, stress and anxiety dosing medical shows and fox sunday night cartoons. That is what they spew into the "mass mind" and there is no moral ethic, depth or meaning other than to normalize these mindsets and behaviors and spread them through society.

Monkey see, Monkey do, or at least monkey thinks about it a lot.

Nah, nobody needs to get whacked, we are just monkeys to them anyway.

I would be more worried about who becomes Vice President than President.
