Don't much care for politics on the www
But WOW, seedcorn has made it pretty plain what is in this bill.
And hawkeLady quotes something from Harry Potter.
Gotta love this type of entertainment!!!

"Voldemort himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back!"
J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)

Yep, thought this was a gardening forum, not a political action soapbox.

Gardening....relaxing. Politics...NOT relaxing. This kind of thing always stirs strife and I tire of seeing it, especially when those people aren't here to talk gardening otherwise. Is that not trolling? JMHO....

Ewwwwwwow!

If ya all have not figure it out by now..that politics affects everything you do....well then....

It affects the food you eat, the air you breathe, the land you live on, and the job that you work at to provide for your family. As for making fun of the quote I kept it light.

However, the truth in it cannot be denied, and putting me down does not change reality or a peoples need to be evolved to save their own futures.

Here is another quote from an unimpeachable source, and I am sure ignorance of the facts will follow just as before.

Turn on to politics, or politics will turn on you. Ralph Nader

Hey! Just ask the people of Wisconsin.


"Ours is a system of corporate socialism, where companies capitalize their profits and socialize their losses...in effect, they tax you for their accidents, bungling, boondoggles, and mismanagement, just like a government. We should be able to dis-elect them." - Ralph Nader

"The only difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is the velocities with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock on their door. Thats the only difference. " - Ralph Nader

"There can be no daily democracy without daily citizenship." - Ralph Nader

I would like to ask you a question Ladyhawke1. Why do you insult anyone who disagrees with your position and ridicule any argument they put forth in defense of that position rather than attempt to have a conversation about the issue?

You don't understand debate or uncomfortable things should not be talked about?

"Your silience will not protect you." Audrey Lourde

Where have you been insulted by someone bring something to your attention? :/

You cannot debate those who have been taught NOT to question. Don't debate me....debate the story! What are you going to do about Corporations that threaten your futures? Who are the bullies here?

I bring attention to stories that you are not getting in your mainstream corporate owned media. Stories that the public at large needs to know about and understand. I consider it a "public service".

Just another public service announcment in case you missed it in the media.

The EPA is a government organization. You, the taxpayer own it. However, it has a revolving door. That means people from industry have from time to time come and gone in and out of this agency affecting the daily decision on how and what this office does and reports. This may have a chilling effect on how legislation and laws are made and enforced.

If they have just recently started reporting on this problem ( trying to save industry) .then Huston, we have a problem.

Just answer this one question for me. Why are pregnant women NOT allowed to get x-rays?

I agree with you journey11, I come to this forum to talk about common interests not contentious issues.
I come here to relax and learn about gardening, this is not a PAC. I dont care about anybodys political veiws, I want to know what you think about potatoes, and that is it!

Enough. Please review the rules, too many broken here to list them!

Sadly politics just can't be discussed without degrading to attacking each other so please keep it off the board, period.
