Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Every weekend.........in our small village.......a small band of elderly people stand quietly on the corner of Main Street and Burton Drive dressed in black. They hold aloft plackards upon which are scrolled anti-war slogans. They never focus on anyone that walks by and are very calm and non-confrontational. They procalim that peace and loving kingness is the way to live...... They stand out in the heat of the mid-day sun....draped in the heavy black apparel........ And their feet are protected from the hot asphalt.........by black leather shoes. toombaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Huxley had a chance to respond, the lady concluded: " I know what you are going to ask, Mr. Huxley, and the answer is `turtles all the way down.' " In commemoration of those remarks, I announce forthwith the reconstitution of the Flat Earth Society. This is the credo of the society: We are winning the war in Iraq. We are winning the war in Afghanistan. Bush went to war because Saddam Hussein had WMDs he could use against us within 48 hours. And the earth is flat. Sharon fully intends to withdraw from the occupied territories and make peace with the Palestinians. John Ashcroft is fully committed to preserving the civil liberties of all Americans. The Saudi rulers will let women drive. And the earth is flat. We can have huge tax cuts as well as gigantic government spending and maintain a free market economy. Midge Decter is the world's most beautiful woman. William Kristol is opposed to an American global empire. And the earth is flat. The Democratic Party is committed to a free market economy. The Republican Party is opposed to preemptive war. No one was interested in making money in Iraq before the war. And the earth is flat. Bush is for free trade. Tom Delay recognizes that the Palestinians are humans. There are wars Ann Coulter opposes. And the earth is flat. Gertrude Himmelfarb admires Murray Rothbard. Dick Gephardt knows who Ludwig von Mises is. F.A. Hayek is Hillary Clinton's favorite philosopher. And the earth is flat. Greenpeace is a greater threat to American security than Osama bin Laden. Donald Rumsfeld is for cutting the defense budget. The Carlyle Group is opposed to conflicts of interest. And the earth is flat. Dick Cheney believes in open government. Paul Wolfowitz grieves over American casualties in Iraq. Richard Perle has no idea who Conrad Black is. And the earth is flat. Major League baseball players hit all those home runs without taking steroids. William Buckley admits the war in Iraq was a mistake. Milton Friedman was opposed to the military dictatorship in Chile. And the earth is flat. thanks to: Richard Cummings and the Flat Earth Society. for his ideas and yours the Time has Come........sure it has! ........bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
