Way past time actually. The USA committed suicide on Nov. 4, 2008.

The rest is just the flailing of a snake, after its head is cut off.

I think you mean September 11, 2001

Allahu Akbar.

Muham-mad blew little boys.

And goats. Damn, almost forgot the Taliban would not be offended by a slur of blowing little boys. That should cover it.

The 911 magic trick counted on American "jingo-ism" and "know-nothings". Decades of educational and media brainwashing followed by survey research to see if it was being swallowed* (whole) has paid off in spades.

*From the last posting it's obvious some people don't even chew on their propaganda for a minute like their mothers told them to do.

Here is a clue, you dumb fucks.

You do not need conspiracy theories to see the US govt. is becoming more of a police state each day.

That is what makes me think half of you truthers are on the govt. payroll. Unless you are the evil enemy -- arabs or the french -- and are just sowing disinformation.

You Truthers have to be the biggest dipshits in all of America. My God. The EPA, Dept. of Energy and Obamacare are poised to knife the US between the ribs and you are chasing away potential allies to feed your own distorted egos.

No one thinks you are cool. You sound like certifiable loons. You do not help the cause. Focus, or admit your own egos are more important to you than this nation.

No. Just three Capitols.

Pour encourager les autres

If you all want to quote Eisenhower, then Google "More Bang For The Buck."

You are right, but during a rant, three is a magic number. Dunno why, but it works.

Mr Rodent F, your anger towards "truthers" is strange. (Incredible to me that this term "truther" is hurled as an invective, and that it is testifies to the innate cerebral lameness of those who hurl it, imho.) You rave about your own view that we're moving towards a police state, yet condemn people for questioning the state's official explanation for what happened on 9/11. You hate them for it. Absurd. Stupid. Ugly. It's not too late to change, unless you don't want to.

When is anyone going to begin talking about population control and a totally new economic model. Don't the scientists and/or economists ever talk to each other at these ivy league schools? Probably not, the economists have Wall Street on their side and the scientists only have the laws of Nature. Of course, the typical scientist is driven by knowledge and the desire to help others, whereas the economist is driven by greed (a much more common trait of man). Easy to see why scientists have been getting their ass kicked (for now).

Cultural Dictionary

The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry definition

No matter how carefully a project is planned, something may still go wrong with it. The saying is adapted from a line in “To a Mouse,” by Robert Burns: “The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley.”

Own what you need to own and go with the flow, no one can prepare against madness, and we have several mad men pushing buttons all day! We have to decide as we "go"! Re Act as we have to at "that" point in time, there is literally no "plan", to many "if's" and "when's" to even remotely consider one is really prepared! No one really knows where and how this is going to end, we can only assume, predict, take chances! Anything else is just page filler!

"no one can prepare against madness". I disagree, although one might think you mad to do so. Chance favors the prepared mind.
