The Democrat Party is the largest 'hate group' in the country.

What do you mean by 'man-flesh'? Is that something from 'Videodrome'? 8~)

I learned that Ronald Reagan, who should be on Mt. Rushmore and the $10 bill, is the greatest President of the 20th century. I learned that there will never be another Ronald Reagan, but George W. Bush might turn out to be even better. And I learned that, if we are not careful, low-down good-for-nothing adulterers can beat decent men and get elected to the Oval Office (Bill Clinton taught me that).

I've learned that all societies eventually degenerate.

Pity.

My wife passed in 2000 from an aneurysm.

Your entire life can change in a minute.

If you have someone you love, make damn sure you tell them every single day.

If you find someone who loves you, not because of the sex, or the money, or the looks, but simply because they really like you and couldn't imagine living life away from you, then hold on to it. Protect it with everything you got.
It's the only thing in life that cannot be replaced.

Let's see . . I'm 33, and went back to college for the umpteenth time.

So far, I've learned that everything I learned about history since OH about age 8. . is apparently fictional or something along those lines.

*boggles*

I've learned a lot, especially from time spent on Free Republic Forum. I have been pleasantly surprised that almost all posters on FR agree on most subjects and there is rarely any controversy. Some of my findings are:

1. Almost all posters agree that Starbucks has the best coffee.
2. FR posters love Apple MacIntosh computers and don't consider Mac owners to be gay.
3. All posters love to shop Walmart for those really good prices and great service.
4. All posters show good form in commenting and never resort to name calling (like those dopey liberals do).
5. All Freepers appreciate the ease and convenience of driving a Segway to work.

No matter how lucrative an early start may be ... you're gonna' take a dump at the same time every morning ... no matter where you are, whom you're with or what kind of weather may be happening.

I've learned to never eat anything bigger than my head (to borrow from an old Unix fortune cookie which probably borrowed it from somewhere else).

On a more serious note no matter how much I try I will never appreciate how much I will miss those I love until they are gone.

"Ocra still tastes like sh%t"

Did you mispell it or are you a dyslexic Eskimo?

"Further, no matter how good looking a woman is, she's going to get old."

And you will find that, as you age, old women look better and better all the time.

I have learned that the heart of man is desperately evil (and woman too)! Embrace, take responsibility for, and own it... or it will own you.

AND

I have learned that I know NOTHING!

That being an "educated Conservative" voter, for over 38 years, not only is tantamount to walking in the wilderness naked and in perpetual darkness, but also being constantly bitten by swarms of Alaskan mosquitoes.

That after all these years I can still say I married the right person. What a joy that has turned out to be.

and that I am a poor judge of man-flesh.

Well, it's never too late to become a vegetarian...

I've learned that I don't have enough money, or enough years, to learn from mistakes made by myself. I should have learned more from other people's mistakes, taking advantage of their wasted time and money.
