Interesting facts!!

[Rabbit1]

1 - Zero Gravity: When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C. The Russians used a pencil. Your taxes are due again -- enjoy paying them.

2 - Our Constitution: They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we j ust give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore.

3 - Ten Commandments: The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse is that you cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal", Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and " Thou Shalt Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment.

Um do I detect a note of cynicism- oh big eared one?

I used to follow what goes on in politics here, but it got TOO DEPRESSING!

When one of the local coppers loses his licence for drink driving, you wonder just who's running the world these days?

I've seen these before and it still saddens me because I believe them to be true. Too bad this is no longer a government by the people and for the people. What do our children and grandchildren have to look forward to? I'll quit before I get too carried away. I do!!!!!!

I don't know how anyone could argue #2 & #3.

Or we enjoy believing the cover stories they produce to try to cover the facts--this from a government who pays hundreds of dollars for toilet seats.

which ever version of things you believe --is up to an individual ---personally I do not doubt the money wasted on such trivial things----when I see government grant go to study the sex life of a frog ----or money paid to farmers not to plant certain crops to keep the prices up ----makes you wonder who the hell is ---"We the People" and just who is looking out for us

#3 was funny ... and oh, so true. Makes me wonder why Roy Moore was such a jackass about his courtroom having them in Montgomery.

True and so sad, isn't it?
