Off topic but interesting.



NOW UNDERSTAND WASHINGTON POLITICS

The english language has some wonderfully anthropmorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese. However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a Parlioment of owls.

Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxiois, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of Babbons? Believe it or not....a Congress!

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington!!!

Scott, you are an American hero - in so many ways. I hope and pray you continue to heal and get stronger until you are able to speak as before. If I were your mom or one of your family members, my heart would be aching. This "investigation" had better come to justice, and soon, or the American People will be suspicious.

Change of subject. The use of the term Merry Christmas is running around my facebook page, and I have a friend who feels that no matter what faith you are you should be greeted with merry christmas. People who I know that are christians I say merry christmas or happy christmas because happy christmas is an european greeting, but my friend said the term happy christmas shouldnt be used as it is a pagan saying. I looked it up just to see if any use of happy christmas was pagan, and found some fun facts. The word merry was to say a person had a little to much to drink or just too much to drink, and the word happy was glad,gay, and good feelingsThese words now mean almost the same glad,gay, excitied,and such. The Queen of England uses the happy christmas because of the old meaning of merry, and many people in europe still use it. In fact the poem a night before christmas use happy christmas and was change years later to be merry christmas. I told my friend I respect others and use the terms for the holiday they are enjoying as I feel they should respect me for what I believe in.

This friend goes to chuch here and people I know that have tried this chuch said the minister is really radical, and I was told the minister believes that anybody who isnt a christian or belongs to mainstream religion is a pagan and should be made to except their type of christian faith like it or not. This is the extrem some people here are, and they hate anyone or anything they feel is different from their narrow. I say let all of us celebrate this season in good will and peace towards all americans.

just my humble view

Didnt see him on ed's show but on odonald's show and he was saying he still support the movement and didnt think he was hurt that bad until he couldnt say his name. This is what people need to see that the 1% are afraid of the movement because it is the people speaking and not them.

just my humble view
