This was a village of about 2000 people, started by my uncle and another gentleman. Also gun laws are tougher in Canada.

Funny.

I will use sexlaxalism instead.

Holy smokes.

Akin's vote against the school lunch program amendment was back in 2004. The house passed the bill but the senate did not. The bill is dead.

Who digs up eight year old non-news? Sexlaxalists, that's who.

Show us you mean business and renounce all that wasteful gov't spending on Reps & Senators.

Actually Rex the idea of paying people to be elected representatives was a progressive idea going way back into Early Modern European history, which American history is basically an extension of if you look at it. The concept is that a paid member of Parliament, or Congress, who can make a living wage is less susceptible to corruption. If you think about it if no one got paid for being in Congress only millionaires (Rotten Bourrough members of Parliament way back in English history) would have enough time and money to serve.
Well you can see their are no millionaires in Congress today ....
have to agree though hugh pay raises do reek....

It's not starving the beast. It's the Akins Diet.

Pete, that sounds about right for the 80s. Not much better than that these days, about $4.00 as average.

It amazes me. We didn't eat badly, but I'd think as they were feeding us 100% and not just lunch it would cost more! Economies of scale? Being kitchen help she's say things like, crack 50 dozen eggs I can still crack two eggs at a time and my dishes are very clean. I can mop a mean floor too

See, the government taught me skills for life lol.

A colleague of mine grew up with some kind of government cheese program. To this day he will not touch another piece of cheese.
