Re: What's the price of gas where you are?

we are also very hard workers and have built this country into what it is today, for right or wrong. I'm not against people working hard. I'm against a country that makes some of their people work 3 jobs so that they can barely ask for credits to feed their family and pay for medicine and education...

Re: Loufest - St. Louis 8/25-26

I'm probably gonna go. Flaming Lips are fun even if they're not one of my favs. Dino Jr. is the shit. A lot of the other bands sound pretty good too after checking them out. Dr. Dog is good too. The price is right and its about 2 miles from my work, so I can't bitch other than it might be like 95 w...

Re: Gallup Poll: U.S. States by Religiosity

Your absolutist claims about state vs federal power confuses me. We already had this war 150 years ago. Do you think it's time for another? And what make the states so fantastic over Federal? I'm sure some counties in California have some pretty major issues with the state. Should they make their ow...
