Through early morning fog I see

visions of the things to be

the pains that are withheld for me

I realize and I can see...

[REFRAIN]:

that suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

but now I know that it's too late, and...

[REFRAIN]

The game of life is hard to play

I'm gonna lose it anyway

The losing card I'll someday lay

so this is all I have to say.

[REFRAIN]

The only way to win is cheat

And lay it down before I'm beat

and to another give my seat

for that's the only painless feat.

[REFRAIN]

The sword of time will pierce our skins

It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

[REFRAIN]

A brave man once requested me

to answer questions that are key

is it to be or not to be

and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

[REFRAIN]

'Cause suicide is painless

it brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

....and you can do the same thing if you please.

it's starting to become obviousl that they are growing weary of this and

The more frequent hurricanes haven't helped either. The property values

insurance is going out of sight..

====================
What does this have to do with the subject at hand? Yeah, barrier
islands are encroached upon by the sea. That's nature. The islands are
built up. Then they are destroyed. That was happening long before
animals walked the earth.
Over time, the ocean does destroy wear away beaches.
It's a natural cycle.
Get a geology textbook and read about it.

Do you let the fact that you're a republican rule every thought that
comes into your head? I'm a republican, but that doesn't mean my mind
closes up after I watch Bill O'Reily..

Everything you (and alot of the democrats and republicans on this NG)
say follows along the lines of your political party.

There is only so much I can agree with before I start to feel just a
part of the herd. And if you've ever seen a real herd, it's basically
one animal after another with their heads in each others asses..

Re: Do you care if the ice caps melt?
Ice caps aren't melting. They are transforming, a natural occurrence on
our magnificent and dynamic planet called Earth.
Just like the climate changes every few thousand years...
whether man is spewing carbon or not. It's recovered before, it'll
recover again...

====================
Denial... Not just a river in Egypt....?

I'm a republican, therefore that old, ill performing SUV in front of me
spewing smoke here in Flori-duh (because we don't have emissions testing
or state inspections) does not bother me.. Nope.. I don't feel it...
Not me...cough.

Baaah... said the sheep as it was 'herded' to slaughter..?

As I said, a lot of the demo's and republicans on this 'bored' are a
lot like the harley guys who all wear the same pathetic uniform on
following the herd to a dumb ass back slapping meeting about nothing.

They read from the same manifesto and repeat the same things as if
robots: It doesn't matter it is right or wrong all they see is right
or left..

Actually, me neither. I wish we didn't have inspections.

But I thought the emissions tests were Federally mandated...?
No, I believe it is by locality. We had emissions test every six
months in Northern VA and never in SE VA. Pensacola, FL and
Shreveport, LA did not have them when I lived there. Neither did
Utica, NY or Caribou, ME.

Federal law requires emission inspections only in areas of the county were
the pollution levels exceed a pre-determined rate. Generally, in and
around large population areas. In Pa for example in and around Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia
