I think its a choice between to idiots, bush and kerry but if someone
like you is voting for one that's an excellent reason to vote for the
other as the one you like could be as insane as you are.

He's blind to everything, except his own pathetically small(minded)
world. Here's what I wrote in another forum that asked which
candidate (of the lameo two party system) had the better bike:

"I beg to differ. Dubya should have a custom Moots, or other
high-zoot American bike instead of that trek garbage. Though it's a
road bike and the rider looks like a jacked-up Herman Munster, the
Serotta "gets my vote". As far as candidates go, I'm writing in Paul
Reubens. At least he's an admitted jerk-off."

Take a look at Tom Tomorrow's cartoon today, about a dog (Bush) getting elected.

You are apparently incorrect.

There _are_ crocodiles in Florida.

It would appear that the crocs are pro nuclear power as well...

No, you aren't. As long as you are posting to usenet, you are working on
destroying ever more of the environment, fool.

Yes, but the general point is that such research isn't sustainable.

How non-sensical. I'd elaborate, but Shakespeare beat me to the punch:
"It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying
nothing." Kind of describes most of your posts as well, doesn't it?

I suppose it is my fault he is so confused. I should have said, "Large
lizard-like animals with jaws that close like a clamp and like to swim ..."
