IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET BACK ON MNN

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.

THE NATURE OF PUBLIC SERVANTS

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

MNN--CAN ANYONE COPYRIGHT IGNORANCE

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.
Lawyer......shyster
politician.... liarMore

YES WE HAVE A BANANA REPUBLIC

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

MOTHER NATURE AND THE WORLD

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

Mother Nature is good living

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!

Talk about rats...leave commies alone

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.

Has communism been muted because of exposure? We will find out shortly.

Defamation of rodents

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.

Check with the named cities, states, and one will discover all are under the city manger.... More

Various kinds of Rats 4 and 2 legged!

Apparently two faces is not for me..America first and last. Banning is not proper because political prostitution
is out of control. The site filed my last post in file 13. Must things get worse?

Political bootlegging via controlled rats

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
rise up in the world as his/her served
officially.
( 4 ) If one accidentally tells the truth under a sworn statement, then speak the probverbal.... More

A Machiavellian essay on political rats.

Machiavellian rodents, alien money changers and several mice-like men, of the founding father's era, comingled by inserting within the Constitution,
TREATIES. This assortment were BANKERS, LAND OWNERS and SPECULATORS. The very gist, or kernal was captioned off with Niccolo's
opinion on political whoredom.Take a look.

Presently, contemporary America carries within its veins, like the scorpion, the poison that will eventual

Invasion by Idealized wharf rats -political rodents

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

Mother nature

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.

rodents

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.
