In all honesty, either one, would be a better candidate than some
I've
seen in recent years.
Ah, yes. The ultimate dream team.

Here's part of my platform:

I would embrace the liberal concept of redistribution of wealth and
resources to make things fairer across the board.

For example, I figure people with small boats and fuel efficient
engines don't use or need anywhere near the amount of fuel required
for those with big, fuel hogging boats in their respective, mutual
enjoyment of boating.

Therefore, the people with small boats can afford to pay more for a
gallon of fuel because they need so much less of it.

A graduated fuel cost/gallon program will be instituted, with cost
per gallon decreasing as boat length and fuel burn rates increase.

Obviously, blow boaters will pay the highest for fuel.


See? I can make just about as much sense as some of our current
politicians in office.
Well, see - if you were a real politician you would have said that all
boaters are wasting gas and diesel and a special tax is needed to
compensate for the use of our precious resources.

And then insert language in the bill in small print to exclude
Mainship owners who have boats only at a certain marina on the Cape.



I'm in favor of fuel rationing for vehicles, even though it would
very difficult to set up a rational "fair" system. The way we are
going now,
average people cannot afford to pay for the fuel it takes to get to
work, or to sustain their lives and the lives of their families.


*average* people?



You know, the non-rich...the ones whose family income, according to John
McBluster, is less than $5 million a year.


Ah, yes... Like Obama's grandmother, the "typical white person."

That's what got me wondering about this guy. And not trusting his
perceptions. Bull jive.

If it was built by the Marine Corps, it will be the best damn ditch
ever dug.

Followed closely by Squid Seabees - gotta give 'em that. :)
Seabees are simply smart Marines.


Oh very funny. :)

Harry,
Most guys your age were in the military. The fact that you weren't speaks
volumes about your character, courage, love of country, etc.

BTW Gene's server prevented me from posting this there. NBD

I was going to try to post the same message just to see what happens. But,
Gene's server didn't answer. Maybe it's down for work.

You wouldn't think the word 'Harry' would set it off, would you?

Maybe it was the word 'military'. Or maybe it was the combination of
'Harry' and 'love of country'. Yeah, I'll bet that was it. His software
probably checks for gross inconsistencies and dumps them.

My guess is he gave up on his experiment. The only difference I saw in
the newsgroup is he had Don White and Loogie filtered, but all of the
political trolls and insults from Harry seemed to be in there.

That's brilliant...you have an infestation of vermin and you trash the
exterminator.
No wonder the group is full of crap.

You really do have a problem with comprehension. I didn't trash anyone,
he has filtered some of the vermin, after all, he does have you
filtered, so it is a step in the right direction.
