Neat quotations

I'm gonna put a few quotations here, when I see one I like, starting with:

If, at first, an idea is not absurd, then it has no hope at all. --Einstein

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Take heart -- truth and happiness will get you in the end. You can't lose in this game. Have fun. It goes on too long to be taken seriously all the time. -- John & Lyn St.Clair Thomas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Men are disturbed, not by things that happen, but by their opinion of the things that happen -- Epictetus . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Be realistic: Plan for a miracle. -- Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Drinking water joke

Near Fredericksburg, Texas, where there is a large German speaking

population, a farmer walking down a country road notices a man drinking

from his pond with his hand.

The farmer shouted: 'Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuhen haben dahin

gesheissen.' (If you don't understand, find out what it means.)

The man shouted back: 'I'm from New York and just down here campaigning

for McCain & Palin, I can't understand you. Please speak in English.'

The farmer replied: 'Use two hands, you'll get more.'

More Politics + Bailout

It's not just MY Humble Opinion after all. There are many others, including Vermont Senator Bernie Saunders. He said:

"In our country today, we have the most unequal distribution of income and wealth of any major country on earth, with the top 1% receiving more income than the bottom 50% and the top 1% owning more wealth than the bottom 90%."

The bailout does not address ANY of the basic causes or effects of the "meltdown." The URL is http://www.truthout.org/100208J . Read it, and weep.

Politics & Bail-Out

We've been following the election, debates & economic "meltdown"/bail-out in the U.S.

What a circus! Or is it Soap Opera? What a country!

I'm very disappointed in Barak Obama. I was hoping he would not go along with the "Wall Street Bailout", but he did. Just tweaking it does not hack it, it needs to be scrapped and start over, IMHO.
