Curses! Foiled AGAIN, by the tree-top tall intellect, the Donald! I do like your version better, and it doesn't actuate the righteous software. (Side story: Many years ago when I was using Wordperfect 4.0 or 4.6, (the offices were in Utah at the time) I tried to write Homo sapiens into a document. When I used the speller/grammar-checker, I got the stern message concerning Homo: "Please do not use this homophobic term, etc., etc.") BEWARE! YOU ARE BEING OBSERVED!

Avoid foreclosure! Go see the Archbishop
Karen Lang: You are right. Now you need evidence. Post some links someplace or organize fellow victims and people of good conscience. As I have long maintained, laws are signposts of the failure of social mores. The history of this phenomenon goes 'way, 'way back. When humans started cooperating less and competing more. Cooperation has largely given way to coercion. This is a cultural phenomenon, and there is plenty of history to illustrate just how stupid it is--in the LONG run. The problem is, the rewards are high in the short run and people who are seduced by baubles big and small will "win." Then, there will be a mega-bust when the feeback snake comes around to bite us all in the ass. Survival instincts will kick in, but there will be no options. Survival will be short-term, ESPECIALLY for the so-called "survivalists." Law will go out the window. An apocalypse of our own making. Real survivors will see that Homo sap. is a SOCIAL species, and cooperation is necessary, no, CRITICAL for survival. I would invest in dried beans and water. Beans go good with bugs . . .

There may be a computer fuknction that automatically disallows the word "woodpecker" to be divided into two words, as in the original post. In addition, I reduced the number of ha-ha's too, as upon the fourth or fifth try even woodpecker wouldn't post. Anyone else run into this problem? Tw— September 27, 2015 12:31 p.m.

I believe that the TV stations need to cover it. However, they will need some "visuals." Such as a well-timed huge crowd of protesters outside of an event. We need moles, too. Any ideas about specifics? Tw— September 26, 2015 5:33 p.m.
