Can you imagine when this race is won?

Sooner or later we will all be gone.

I don't want to perish like a fading horse.

Do you really want to live forever?

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst...

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

It's so hard to get old without a cause...

So many adventures couldn't happen today, so many songs we forgot to play.

Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?



Peace.

Twenty Questions: One Answer

1. Can I buy a cemetery plot in cyberspace?

2. Why is it illegal to commit suicide?
Correction: It is not illegal to commit suicide; it is only a crime to attempt suicide. Perhaps we should make it a capital offense?

3. Can I get course credit for traffic school?

4. Who do you call when 911 puts you on hold?

5. Will the Department of Education ever realize it would be cheaper to hire me than harass me?

6. Shouldn't my financial planner be required to have good credit?

7. Why can't I find the word "synonym" in the thesaurus?

8. Have you ever needed a map to find items inside your own home?

9. Does Walt Disney have a death certificate if he is indefinitely suspended in a cryogenics lab?

10. Why is it so much easier to lose my keys when I put them in an obvious place?

11. Is an accidental life insurance policy really an appropriate graduation gift?

12. Why buy life insurance to pay my final expenses?


12b.  Who gets paid first: The tax man or the funeral director? 


13. Have you ever received a check in the amount of 31 cents?

14. Have you ever been *69'd by the suicide prevention hotline?

15. Why do I have to make copies of documents I wish I could destroy?

16. Would you rather be a witness your own birth or your own funeral?

17. Which would you rather be: a homeless person with agoraphobia or a claustrophobic inmate?
 ANSWER: It is far better to be a homeless with agoraphobia than an inmate with claustrophobia.
The homeless person could always commit a crime and get locked up. Problem solved! 


18. Why is it so easy to remember the things I would like to forget?

19. Have you ever used a map so you can't find your way home?   


19B. Have you ever felt lost when you finally get there?

20. Have you ever just asked yourself, "What the Fuck???"

VOTER APATHY LINKED TO FRAUD IN TENNESSEE

Voter Apathy?




WACKENHUT VIDEO


Uploaded by on Mar 1, 2012
Laptop stolen just before the election, turns up at a strip club that got shut down for operating without a license. Voter Apathy or common sense. Wackenhut at it's finest.


Gee—with all the bitching we do about voter apathy, low voter turnout, and then about the people who are ultimately elected by the few who do vote; the media seems to be making an awful big deal about the upcoming primary elections.

The deadline to register for the upcoming primary was today, January 7, 2008.

Yet, in the midst of it all, I just received a letter dated January 2, 2008 along with approximately 370,000. Coincidentally—this is roughly the same number of TennCare recipients who were dropped from the rolls (dis-enrolled due to reform) just a few years ago]] people that my personal information (including my social security number) has been compromised due to a break-in at the Davidson County Election Commission on Christmas Eve in Nashville, Tennessee.

GOOD GOING!!!

I cannot be the only one who is wondering how this will affect voter registration, turnout, or “apathy” in the future.

Ironically, as an additional side note, the state of Tennessee just happened to pass new, “progressive” legislation regarding identity theft the very same day the “warning” letter was mailed. It is almost too much of a coincidence, don’t you think?

Call me a conspiracy theorist if you like, but I am still trying to wrap my head around this one!
