Next thing you know, the government will outlaw flying kites or dancing in public, just like the Taliban in Iraq.

Did you ever notice that when people start putting pumpkins on their front porch the weather turns cold and the days get shorter?
These pumpkins are scary!

Rotting corpses produce methane gas too, it is probably the only reason they don’t just get rid of us all and trim the “excess population” to half a billion.

Ah yes, the ole four branches of gov’t;

Executive
Legislative
Judicial
Regulatory

Not all the above are co-equal and not all answer to the people.

Manipulating guilt is the totalitarian’s most important tool after manipulating envy.

We have been composting just about everything for the past
30 yrs.; but I’m sure they can find some fault with
composting in the never-ending global warming battle.

THIS JUST IN:

The Department of Energy will soon set the precise date and time that all Americans will jump in the air.

This has been determined by scientific consensus to be a method by which the Earth can be moved farther away from the Sun to counteract global warming/climate change/Gaia irritation.

Politicians with all of their stupid laws and regulations are what’s killing the planet. Not pumpkins.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
