:-) -- Mike, Norwalk
This should be a motto for America. From its beginnings much of Europe was waiting for it to fail, Britain slammed it in 1812, civil war almost destroyed it, need I go on? But here we stand with the world beating a path to us. Why don't they make their own countries decent places to live and prosper and leave us alone? -- Waffler, Smith, Arkansas
There is hope for what may appear to be impossible. -- E Archer, NYC 1
They were told it couldn't be done. So they knuckled down and buckled down and found out they couldn't do it. -- warren, olathe
(-: Who are "they"? :-) Was it "they" who said implementation of socialism in a dummied down nation of liberty with a constitution couldn't be done? Was it "they" who said financing poverty, hatred, anger, and social enslavement couldn't be done to make such grow? hmmm -- Mike, Norwalk
As it is written: "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." ~ Mark 9:23 -- Patrick Henry, Red Hill 1
Casey and Yogi were masters of the malaprop. This one is a good example. Yogi once said about a restaurant, that nobody goes there because it's too crowded. I guess that's just water over the bridge. -- jim k, Austin 1
It's a true quote as I have ever seen. Wow. I agree with Waffler here. -- cal, Lewisville, Texas 1
Typical sports attitude, because if anything was ever accomplished you would realize how ridiculous playing games are. The cover up game is always the biggest game, they whole world gets involved and claims the innovator started it all, and all it was, was the innovator trying to understand the innovation itself before the unavailing, while the whole would knew about the disease. The innovator found the cure because he was not intentionally involved in the disease, but everyone else was involved in spreading the disease. The disease of greed. So the world responds with the cover up and misrepresentation. The maximum wage is the cure. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 1
Additionally, you could never ever come this conclusion of Maximum Wage using the game playing mentality. Players don't do science. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
And the player will never contribute to the community, they're out for number one and a natural loser, looking for losers. The Socialist will reveal their project's results when all the critical data is assembled. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 1
