  1. wasder,

    I’m solo while the (not so) little farmer is at a birthday party. Mrs. Slopefarm is away. So I instigated this little gathering for my solo time. Others are free to make a longer evening of it, but I have until about 7:30 or 8.

  2. Snappy;

    I was giving them the benefit of the doubt when I called them “morons”, in that I am assuming that they are simply ignorant. More likely they are willfully distorting facts to indoctrinate kids.

    Anything I stated above can be verified.

    For instance, here is the information on defense spending as a percentage of the federal government’s budget and GDP:

    OK, I’ll cool my jets now!

  3. Dang, Benson! Back it down a little bit 🙂 Do they *have* to be ‘morons?’

    Who knows what university tuition cost they used? Maybe they found a cheaper one than what you cite. It’s possible, even probable.

    Health insurance doesn’t cost the same for everyone. The quotes I got were hideously outrageous. One of my brothers…dirt cheap.

    I won’t get into a discussion re the % of the defense budget…I don’t know enough about that to speak on it intelligently.
