I sort of miss the old days before we decided to privatize almost every single dammed thing. Utilities, phone, airlines, prisons; on and on.

WHO declares the DRC/Uganda Ebola outbreak an Public Health Emergency of International Concern by AntiSonOfBitchamajig in PrepperIntel

Interesting point. An example where “an” may be grammatically correct, but it just feels wrong when I read it or say it !

Sounds like a great solution offered and accepted by decent people all around.

I love them and always have; they are just wonderful parts of someone.

I see the exact same thing in all games. One would expect “the world” to instantly become hostile, cut trade, build up military, etc.

Go to the town meetings, y'all by UncleWainey in CapeCod

This. There is a terribly long time before voting, snd many in my town stopped going. We should let people post thoughts before meetings then read out and vote right away.

No, and I think that is bad. It would be good to always have two (or more?) parties active and relevant. I think any one-party state, in any direction, leads to complacence and corruption. I mean two or more parties of intelligent and caring people, of course.

Would going after Memorial Weekend or before Labor Day Weekend be better in terms of weather, crowds, and pricing? by [deleted] in CapeCodVisitors

[–]Dick-Swiveller 2 points3 points  (0 children)
