But, but there was a "plot" to strand her in the middle of Lake Michigan in a boat without a motor!

Probably. Especially if you write a song about it like Dennis Leary did: Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American Dream About me, about you About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts Maybe below the cockles Maybe in the sub cockle area Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys Maybe even in the colon, we don't know I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job I'm your average white, suburbanite slob I like football and porno and books about war I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor My wife and my job, my kids and my car My feet on my table and a Cuban cigar But sometimes, that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested (Oh, no, no way, uh-uh) No, I gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense (Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane While people behind me are going insane I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole) I use public toilets, and I piss on the seat I walk around in the Summer time, saying, "How about this heat?" I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole) Sometimes, I park in handicapped spaces While handicapped people make handicapped faces I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's a real fucking asshole) Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song Ranting and raving and carrying on Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong... Nah I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole) You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible Hot pink with whale skin hubcaps And all leather cow interior And big brown baby seal eyes for head lights (Yeah) And I'm gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour Gettin' one mile per gallon Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers And when I'm done sucking down those greaseball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag And then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side And there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it You know why? Because we've got the bomb, that's why Two words: nuclear fucking weapons, okay? Russia, Germany, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want They can have a big democracy cakewalk Right through the middle of Tiananmen Square And it won't make a lick of difference Because we've got the bombs, okay? John Wayne's not dead, he's frozen And as soon as we find a cure for cancer We're gonna thaw out the Duke, and he's gonna be pretty pissed off You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by fifteen million times That's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be I'm gonna get the Duke, and John Cassavetes And Lee Marvin, and Sam Peckinpah, and a case of whiskey And drive down to Texas and (Hey! You know, you really are an asshole!) Why don't you just shut up and sing the song, pal? I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole) I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole) A-S-S-H-O-L-E Everybody A-S-S-H-O-L-E I'm an asshole, and I'm proud of it

https://www.studyfinds.org/personality-traits-total-ahole/ Seems like the conclusions of this study line up pretty well with certain members here on the GID.

It apparently isn't yours. So now you conveniently move from the patient to the insurance company, and by extension government.

If this comes to pass the drive between Frankfort and Jay County is a ball buster, especially with $4 gallons of gas. The IHSAA would need to kick in a gas stipend for such a ridiculous drive. Or maybe both sides could agree on a neutral site, say at Alexandria, Frankton, or Elwood.

Please better define what a "parasite" is in the context of the healthcare industry. So a sick person is automatically a parasite?

You mean primarily patient's insurance companies, or the government.

Real Wages Fall Again as Inflation Surges and the Fed Plays the Blame Game https://mises.org/wire/real-wages-fall-again-inflation-surges-and-fed-plays-blame-game Good job, Mr. Biden.

https://reason.com/2022/04/13/a-federal-jury-delivers-a-rebuke-of-fbi-entrapment/ This is welcome news. Entrapment activities by both local and federal law enforcement agencies need to end, along with the unconstitutional scourge known as civil asset foretiture.

Bingo.

Take it from me DE, the GID admins do not like any type of criticism when it concerns how the forum is managed/moderated.

Ughh. Ethanol blended gasoline is crap and hard on engines, especially small engines. I've had to replace the carburetor on a leaf blower twice now because that garbage leaves a residue behind that clogs jets and gums up everything.

They are building hundreds of million to billion dollar hospitals like weeds: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/health/2022/03/24/iu-health-hospital-downtown-indianapolis-construction-projects/7147149001/ https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/2021/07/06/iu-health-new-bloomington-hospital-improve-care-cut-costs/7857022002/ https://www.ahd.com/free_profile/150173/IU_Health_Arnett_Hospital/Lafayette/Indiana/ That money has to come from somewhere.

COVID Stimulus Checks Worsened Inflation https://reason.com/2022/04/08/covid-stimulus-checks-worsened-inflation/ MMT doesn't work. This is proof positive.

I'm sure your progressive liberal crowd hates it.

Or maybe non-profit healthcare really isn't "non-profit" like they say it is?

Classical charter school with ties to conservative college makes plans for Carmel location https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/hamilton-county/education/2022/04/08/valor-classical-school-makes-plans-hamilton-county-opening/7220933001/ (Note: Story is behind a paywall) Good for Carmel and Hamilton County. More school choice is always better.

Thank you. I don't recall ever hearing about a public sector teacher's union advocating the banning of books from school libraries. Do you have a link(s)? Also I'm wondering if book banning and book burning are functionally the same thing. Never really thought about it........... And I really don't think teacher's union necessarily want what is best for kids, some of these union's actions during the pandemic really highlight that IMHO. And you have to look at what the core mission of a public sector labor union is. It's too protect it's members above all else.

Please elaborate.

Meh, no thanks. Their views on America as a "Christian nation" and championing of book burning are a big negative for me.

I don't think this particular tag was out of nowhere, Irishman. You have participated in this forum thread in the past have you not? Even if most of your participation is downvoting posts. And it is your decision to ignore the tag or not. If this forum functionality is so disruptive and invasive to the user receiving the tag perhaps it should be disabled? Purple for Parents? I am not familiar with this organization. At least it doesn't ring a bell.

Of course. Authoritarians like to use fear and uncertainty to control the populace.
