Title: NO JOKE

You all remember the story you read as a child "Chicken Little" ?  You can read Vol. II right here on the forum.  Just go to the Politics section.

"Ma", I think you are right and you know what is the scariest right now?  The fact that I am agreeing with you and Pam.

Well... my opinion .. ( no matter how "out there" some of you seem to think it is) is that it is far better to be prepared and labeled.. than to not be prepared.
.. But it also my belief that everyone is entitled to think the way that they think.. and share it on here.. so that those who want to , can use the information .. or disregard it..  :)

Well said Teresa, I am thankful that there is a growing number of Americans that agree with you. I appreciate your time and efforts in all that you do. That is what the Forum is for, for people to state their position on anything they want, and you do it well. TERESA KEEP ON KEEPING ON

Sometimes I get that feeling, too, Flo.  I'm not criticizing the people who post on the Politics section (heck, I'm brave enough sometimes), but if you would just read the posts at face-value and not understand who is posting, it does get a little intense on there.  I think there's a fine line between educating the masses of what the underlying politics are doing... or, like Flo said, just screaming that "the sky is falling".
I do get quite educated on a lot of subjects by reading the Politics section, that's for sure.  And sometimes I wish I could stay in the dark... but it's good to really understand what's going on out there.  I do also thank Teresa and all the rest of the political "fiends" who take the time to research subjects and post their opinion.  I also think it's a good idea to take a break, take a breath, and have some coffee or jokes with friends!   :D

Ha, ha... but then again, I might say the same thing about the School Changes thread, too!   ;)

It would help if we knew the person that is doing the posting.  I don't put much credence in anything that is said by someone that keeps their true identity hidden.

A forum is a place to discuss everything in all its forms.funny, serious, conspiracy, wacky, and off the cuff. Thank goodness we have the forum to say just about anything we want. (Not meaning to imply we have never been able to say anything we wanted on the forum).  To end with a little humor, sarcasm, and a wee bit o truth:

Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you.

Maybe? Definitely, a time honored American pastime.

opinions are just like "you know what" and everyone has one.  Teresa knows I appreciate this forum and the work she and Kjell do for the rest of us posters.  True friends let each other say what's on their mind and like them anyhow and true friends don't always have to agree.  They can agree to disagree.  Why should I spend good money on anti-depressants and high blood pressure medicine then spend my time worrying about whether or not our doom's day is just around the corner or someone is gonna rise up and give us all over to the enemy.  yes, greatguns, today was beautiful and so will be tomorrow.

I thought they were all out to get me so I shot 'em all. Now I have a nice warm padded room, 3 meals a day and no taxes to pay.

Don't forget the getting of a free education, to boot.  A lousy way to get a doctorate.

Actually, what I meant to say was kids stay in school and don't do drugs. Well, not exactly what I meant to say. (It's good to stay in school and not do drugs) What I really meant was I enjoy hearing all your opinions agree or disagree. Even if some of you are totally out of touch with reality. Hey were is the emoticon with the devil horns? I need to post it after my name. :angel:
