#2: Alternate Word Meanings and Other Irritants!!!!

[Hanshi]

#1.  They can always make something "fool proof"; but a new
       strain of fool will absolutely evolve.

#2.  Oxymorons: Police protection???  How can they protect you from a home
       invasion, for instance?  What about the Dept. of Energy; do they produce
       any "energy"??  The Dept of Education educates WHO??  Why do college
       students know less about history and civics than we did in High
       School??  The teachers union serves teachers; shouldn't they
       serve STUDENTS??  Snowflakes want to end hunting and the killing
       of animals.  Where do they think their hamburger, steaks and
       sausage comes from??  Why does the Dept of Defense invade other
       countries rather than defend our own from attackers?? 

#3.  The Constitution is The Supreme Law Of The Land.  Then why did Johnson,
       Clinton, Obama and some other POTUS' rename it "That Damned
       Constitution"

#4.  Have you noticed that everyone is presumed innocent in a court of law
       until their money runs out?? 

#5.  What about the Supreme Court ruling a few years ago that affirmed
       the right of the government(s) to take your property and give it to a
       private concern?? 

#6.  Notice how shocked you become when someone goes out of their way
       to help you??

#7.  It's been well over 150 years since the South - pillaged and destroyed -
       surrendered.  Why hasn't the punishment of the South and it's people
       stopped??

#8.  How come the professors who teach in college are so ignorant and
       uneducated?  And how come so many English teachers in our schools
       can't speak correct English?  Not to mention history teachers not
       knowing history, etc.

#9.  Why is it that when a crazy idiot goes on a shooting rampage, the gun
       maker is blamed; didn't their product perform as advertised?  Not only
       that, but the evil murderer is considered a victim of the system.   

#10.  Why is it that we BP shooters, whose brains are sizzled from too much
         smoke, are uncaged and allowed to go on line? 

[beowulf]

the answer the answer to # 10 is , someone has to point out the obvious to the oblivious !

[old salt]

I do not have the answer to the question, but maybe the black powder smoke increases brain power rather than decreases it.

It's the MTV generation, the ones who get all their news in 15 second bits and will believe a stranger on the street before they will believe a bonafied real life expert. Just like Hanshi still believes the world is flat 'cause some guy in a bar once told him that. It's true, but that is not the point.

But he did have an honest face and willingly bought the drinks.  And the world certainly does look flat.

Yes, we are probably very, very strange - my squeeze I am - but the rest of the world seems to be soooo delicate.  So let's make 'em pay!

I'm in! Just for fun the cannon comes out tomorrow, making my neighbors cringe like a badger caught in a spotlight when it makes it's mighty roar.
