Rants and Raves....



High Times !

The mountains of North Carolina are once again "aglow":

*  "Our Governor is from Ohio, our Senate leader is from New York, and our House leader is from Florida.  All other evidence would suggest that the rest of the Republican legislature is from Mars...."

*  "In America when a politician rolls into town, it's nice to know we don't have to believe all he says."


*  "They call it prison?  Free dental, free medical and three square meals a day, color TV. rec. yard, and education all from my hard-earned tax dollars.  Maybe I am the one being punished for working and being a law-abiding citizen."


*  "If, in the Nation's largest city, you can buy two 16-oz. sodas, but not one 24-oz. soda, because 24-ozs. of a sugary drink might make you fat... you might live in a Nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots."

*  "If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more... you might be living in a Nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots."

*  "If you must show your ID to board a plane, cash a check, buy liquor, borrow a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the Country... you might be living in a Nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots."  

But, undoubtedly the most troubling question confronting the readers of the Mitchell News-Journal:


*  "And how do you intend to zone in your comprehensive city plan for a nudist colony?"

What worries me is the idiots who compare the cornerstone of a democracy -the right to vote- to buying booze or renting videos...
In a democracy, you always get the government you deserve!
