It was taught in school that anyone could be elected to Congress, or the Presidential suite. This is true. Take a look at Eisenhower, Carter, Truman and all the way with L.B.J. Nothing could beat this pack of political whores. And don't forget the lady, Lewinsky. She did make it to the suite. This compounds the theory of relativity, that politicians can saddle both four-footed animals, when ever when both Republicans and Democrats gather. Her Majesty, Pelosi, will give them a good run,in.... More

APPROACHING SOCIALISM IS ANTI THOUGHT
To be brief: The world is not the problem that mankind thinks it is. When a nation looses it identity, then it lessens its ability to recognise its reason for existing in the first place. We must rediscover our our ancestry far back into existence. And for what reason the appearence on mother earth to begun with.

First of all, let's remember that Noah had three sons, Shem, Japhet and Ham. Momnetarily, Let us move into the era when.... More

The true genius of discovering a final resting place for lawyers in general has been discovered--landfills. Mother nature will rebel against this, for the massive thug-run legal industry within America has a chemistry of likeness that allies them with a politician's heart and a legal shyster's soul. The problem is that land fills would reject man kind's built in satanically driven blood-suckers, as unfit for being plowed under with rotted corpses, rejected anti-social garbage containers, as an....

GLENN BECK AND ROBERT WELCH THROWN UNDER THE SAME BUS

The most significant fact, between the late Robert Welch, of the pro-Republican party, known as The John Birch Society, established in 1955, and
Glenn Beck's open support of the New Birth, questionable, Republican move-
ment. Astounding that both movements have solidified their presumption, that either have ( god ) at their sides. The problem is what deity do these politicians serve.

DEAD LAWYERS ARE A MENACE IN DUMPS

Quiete a post on how not to become a lunatic. One uppermost consideration in sustaining a normal disposition is to stay away from lawyers, and any atmospheric condition that smells of these legal body snatchers. Collectively, this profession is a mental disorder housed within the bodies of the living dead. Their prolonged disposition is to attach individual desires, in procreating, transposing, nature into a look-a-like, corpses, hustling along with.... More

narticulate poor.
It is impertinent that level-headed citizens be forewarned of this legalized iniquity of hell, thrust upon any civilization. Some years past, a cellilord flick was on the market, ' The Walking Dead'. It was well known that no lawyers would be hired as stand ins.
The producers wanted people acting as they were dead, not actually deceased inviduals, of whom were spiritually dead already. Stick to mother nature's elequent advice, as to a healthy life viaMore

It is intellectual nourishment, to learn that cockroaches and politicians have much in common. Cockroaches are good pets as politicians are. both crawl on all fours. Most of the American public know of the stench that brings these two fellow travelers within public resturants. The very odor of these two varmints automatically signals nature’s warning that uncleanlesness is a warning, or an army of invading resturant cleaners and politicians will be on the job. The roach, unlike the political.... More

MURDER BY INJECTION IS COVERED UP IN THE MILLIONS YEARLY

People in America should scream out loud when forced into unexplained vaccinations.
Most citizens really believe that The American Medical Association has a conscious. Its actual claim to past history displays a counter productivity, as to the nation's health. In essence, this system has been slow for decades, in warning millions over the years of death, by injection. We should not crowd in on against this incorporated.... More

It appears that one should do their own thinking when addressing issues that mother nature intends to bring forth. I find it impossible to get into this site with news contrary as common knowledge out of spin with every day circumstances! If anyone has been offended in any way then put it in writing. We will see now if abandonment from MNN has taken place.

Individual Congressmen are nothing less that bag men for state's commercial and banking industries. Yes, a go-between swindlers and stream-lined puppies.

It actually makes one vomit to hear these scoundrels as to how they verbalize their worthless hides in duping inarticulate herds of property owners and pension holders.

Their scheme goes like this: a corrupt local business clown crosses up the environmental laws and is fined thousands of dollars, Right away the money hog in.... More

With all due respect, MNN'S website agreement, with its posters, soundly measured up as to a Philadelphian lawyer's expertise, in nailing one to an iron cross, of absolute legality.But, can ignorance be copy righted? And what about plagiarism? In fact, is it possible to separate one from the other, not hardly!

Take a look at the following and decide which is ignorance, and which is plagiarism, or both just word swapping.

One will never disregard Mother Nature's attempt to inform its readers, as to the good fruits of life, and base utilities to move forward, in a spirit of harmonious living. But consuming the fruit of bananas, and living in a banana system are quite opposite. And this is not an abstract consideration.

Clammoring back into ancient Egypt and its period of economic regression, in one period was the cause of major stagnation through the loss of material of a years papyrus, which was used to.... More

Carousing through many posts is nice,
a natural method in cultivating a healthy life. However, the reverse is to be considered as human travesty vs healthyness, a sort of paralelism. Indeed! Here a new symposium arises.

Reconsidering through many listings, subtle elements of religious per-
ceptions, divided on scripture, we do witness Machiavelliansiam, unwittingly appearing on stage.In essence, beliefs at times, established by fraudulent biblical scholars, philosophers, etc;,.... More

It is about time to let the past on rodents expire. One should pay attention to nature's wondertful site. There are many thoughtful goods, and beautiful discoveries towards a better and more healtheir life. Mother Nature's site offers this!

Digg is a great website. Some times posters take advantage of a good thing.
Sure we have rodents and commies lurking about computers. For sure, hogorina has been addressed as a swine. Rats should take the same course. Call me any time, at least it is wonderful to come on digg, and to Digg
others. Hope this isn't an admitted hate
crime. Can anyone be charged with a hate crime by disliking rats? Most likely.

It is often wodered if mother nature loves rodents. Twenty cities infested with politicians, plus waves of rats is quiet a combination. However there have been reported in several tourist-trapping states of wharf rats ten to thirteen inches lengh.Most likerly these
filthy cites must be infested with home made rats thrikving of the labor of i9nsignificant hoards of inaticulate souls. What a shame.

The REPORTING that "renowned rodent experts" Dale Kaukeinen and Dr. Bruce Colvin need to REFOCUS on is
NOT WHAT WE DON'T WANT, but WHAT WE DO WANT:

"INSPECT" and REPORT why 6 of the top 25 cities for U.S. Population were managed too well to ever make it to the
D-Con Risk Report— those such as Indianapolis with aging infrastructure.

Those with the most knowledge that take decisive action are the winners. "Inspect what you expect": Inspect— Review—.... More

Before anyone decides to become an unproductive individual, a case study must be taken, in order to choose as to become a pimp, ( squealer ), on his/her cohorts, of whom share the loot. Here is a program to consider!
( 1 ) Have no conscious.
( 2 ) Pimp on anyone to get ahead.
( 3 ) Swear on one's mother's grave to

This repubic's democracy is experiencing one of its most difficult situations in its history. This infestation
of alien political isms, industrial fascism
with its chief bench mark, incipient
socialism. We should not become a nation of paupers, through alien philosophies. Two-legged rodents is America's gravest problem, not a pack
of political whores tied to any one of our
fifty states. These congressional gangsters have led the republic down various back alleys,.... More

Mom nature had nothing to with creating a HUMANOID. Digg should erase such adverse language from its website. Humanism is a deep-seated regression, into one's unconscious mind; in layman's terms, a homemade
selfish introversion, of morons who 's individual egos are controlled by ids,
in conflict with their egos and super
egos, gathering up personalitie's of every ilk, with personality suppression
complex syndromes.
Digg! Dig into this humanistic mulch.

Had a hard time getting back on DIGG. And now a rat stairs
me in the face. This brings me back through the years when
a police officer ( myself ), was surrounded by RATS. It reminds me of the late celliod flick, " Of Mice and Men".

Rodent Risk Report

Rodent experts Dr. Bruce Colvin and Dale Kaukeinen completed a study in 2007 assessing cities’ risk from rodent populations. This year, d-CON provided the funding for a similar survey reflecting the economic downturn and its possible effect on urban sites and conditions that might affect rodent populations. The experts used census data, city revenues and expenditures plus rates of unemployment and foreclosures to get the complete rodent picture. But rats aren't the only animals these cities have to offer. MNN supplemented their scientific findings with the finer side of the animal kingdom. For each city, we've added a few appealing animal stops — for travelers, or perhaps for the residents seeking to regain some urban pride.
