I didn't feel like resetting my cookie.

Naemanson,

Duck tape? Why, did something quack??

Duct tape is actually duck tape. It doesn't work real well on ductwork, it just gets dry and brittle and falls apart. It was originally designed to repair duck cloth, in which case it's just "ducky".

Mouse,

Consider your words marked.

"although he will be careful not to use actual expletives, and thereby be able to claim the moral high ground in his own mind.

And in the mind of anyone else who is offended by such highschool language, in fact I can swear like a bleeping pirate.

"He will use names like "democRATs" and "socialist/communist/leftist"

I never said..."Mousethief you are a ..." Why I had no idea you were a democrat or an LSC, if fact I think you said you weren't.

You said you didn't know who the Grand Imperial Wizard of the Senate was (democRAT Robert Byrd WV) which made me wonder why you felt compelled to argue politics in the first place.

"and other rude and/or inaccurate monikers of his own invention"

I thought "LSC" was an invention of Skeptic (maybe Chicago John) and was already a common reference icon of this forum (like your "shite"), so I used it. It certainly isn't my creature.

Of course if you are an "LSC" and are constantly taking pot shots at conservativism, you can't really expect me to sit here and not defend myself can you?

Hey stakley (or staklea) learn to spell your own name will you?

Yes, we smell you.

My wife was on the solid waste committee in our rural town. We are the model recycling community in the state.

Other towns ask us how we get the residents to participate to such a high degree of recycling.

I live in such an unspoiled environment because I choose to. I don't need any of the attributes of urban living and have never been a city dweller (well, except for Lincoln NE).

There has been a successful and concerted effort to clean up the rivers in this state and I will be the first to give the environmentalists credit for it.

Never mind W, the Sentate rejected the Kyoto treaty months ago by perhaps 95 to 0. It was largely rejected because it didn't hold some of the world's worst polluters responsible for the gawd-awful messes being made (in the third world) but punished the US who by comparison has been relatively responsible.

"nobody has dared to disagree with the almighty MAV"

Disagree away, I won't bite.
