Yeah, Monsanto is really about helping the agro business. They do make their stock holders happy - so I guess they're doing what they've set out to do. Cargill is another helper of the common farmer. The genetically modified corn has affected lot…

Yeah, MOG, you're right. I've known about the monitoring of the phone for years, too. But, it was all kind of not that important to me because what do I have to hide. The Bourne movies did show how the tech was available. I guess I just deny tha…

I agree that monitoring phone calls is a way to find people that our government agencies are interested in watching. I don't like that the government has been doing it since Bush without telling us. It makes me defend Obama less. I don't like dro…

Well, we bring in the lemon tree that's in a very large pot for the Winter freezes. We put some Christmas ornaments on it. We don't exchange gifts anymore because we just buy the stuff when we find out it's needed. We certainly don't go to church…

My older son Nikolai has returned home. He didn't like having to commute for an hour each way along with waiting for Mimi (who got him the job) to finish her work each day before commuting home. He is still recovering from Mono (IMHO). He was alw…

Well, I thought I'd say hello since AG has gone away again. I think we've all established with whom we get along. Anyway, my wife just received a gift of a 2005 Prius with 234K miles because we've been feeding Valerie's dogs when she goes on vacat…

It happens to all cars eventually. It doesn't sound like everything has just fallen apart one day. I'd find some younger kid who could use the money and teach him how to approach it. The web has all the parts and YouTube has all the procedures on…

I think the place where one wants to live is more complicated than that. It's easy to live where there are no drive-by shootings, or hard to find parking places, or lines at the checkout. It does bother me that I can't just walk down the street an…

You've explained the rational for your not changing anything above. I think you aren't interested in change because it has been comfortable enough with the status quo. If you included the possibility of moving to a place where they do have jobs, y…

So, what about discovering what one really needs to live and finding an alternative way to get it? I have a tractor. My neighbor needs to use it. I buy parts to repair it. He does the wrenching and gets to use the tractor for a few days. I …

We'll need bidets.

Yeah, I don't see how the Republican party expects to appeal to any independent voter. The poll where 90% of gun owners want background checks kind of says it all. The Republican party expects to appeal to Latinos and Blacks because their ideology…

I have a young neighbor(age 25)who just got a job teaching English in South Korea. There have been some delays with getting the visa because of the North Korea rocket club playing their games. He went to Costco and bought a laptop with Windows 8. …

I guess we only do things that are proper. Ever take a risk and do something that you are unsure of the outcome? Travel to some far-off country? Ask a babe out? Even though there is a proper way to change the Constitution using the aforement…

My only comment is that the mileage will affect whether you go or stay home. Other than that, it looks like a very solid reliable car. Let's see if you come to California with it. Maybe you can afford it.

I agree that most of the media leans left. It seems that the urban crowd is more concerned about everyone getting enough to eat - while the right is more concerned about conserving their riches. So, if you want to appeal to the most people, you do…

Welcome and Hi backatcha. Tell us about yourself. iggy8n

That's right! It was Trump. He was comparing his privileged life to the lives of others. I don't care what document is written about who is a citizen. This world is made up of equal people who are all trying to survive on this planet. We can…

Wasn't there someone who would give 5 million bucks to see Obama's birth certificate? Who cares where someone was born?
-
I agree that it is mainly about money. I think there's a bit about power too. He does like to promote his conservative point of view with his stations. I think he's trying to buy, or already has bought, the Chicago Tribune and some Los Angeles pa…

violent culture comment

Aren't Canadians also in America? The whole point that our country is the most violent explains why we all are carrying heat. If we were like other countries - not so predisposed to violent way of solving our problems - we wouldn't have so many gu…

Oops! Sorry! I am really prejudiced about anything with the FOX handle. Doesn't Rupert Murdock own FOX Sports?

I learned Fortran IV way back in the 70's when I was in Santa Monica living on the beach. I had to learn Unix when I moved to the Bay area in the 80's and worked for UCBerkeley. I studied C++ and machine code during that work. I never really like…

I guess they don't have those races broadcast on MSNBC. I'll just suffer without them, I guess. I'm sure the FOX guys tell it like it really is. I don't watch football either. I think I'll just go meditate somewhere and find out who won at the e…

I've just finished learning JavaScript coding on Codecademy. They have lessons in HTML, Python, Ruby, etc. I like this kind of study because it's at your own pace and you can keep the brain functioning without the constant killing of those aliens …

The same argument holds for the other unintended consequences - like the crazy shooters that we have out here. We seem to have more than other countries do. I do like some of the "freedoms" that we have - compared to Russia or China. We have the…

I didn't think you'd like it very much. That's ok! It seems that the NRA has lobbied well enough to convince even the democrats (who want to be re-elected in red states) not to threaten their chances by voting for any gun laws. It doesn't matter…

I don't know when Marchionne got involved with Chrysler. But, I do know that all the PT Cruisers are now on the rental lots and they are the least requested car. Apparently they have the same Chrysler stigma of old. What has happened to those SUV…

http://www.deadline.com/2013/03/video-jim-carrey-funny-or-die-charlton-heston-gun-control/ I couldn't decide which thread this should go in. It is a video though. It's also about guns. I like Jim Carey and his thinking.
