You should know Hannio better than that.  He's being mischievous.

You're talking about people for whom "socialist" is a simple pejorative for anyone who supports funding government programs (with the obvious exception of the military) - it needs no further definition than the bile and spittle that accompanies its utterance.

Willful ignorance is part of the freakin' dogma!

Way to put 'em straight fredriley.  You think you're subject to a lot of 'blinding ignorance' from across the pond, you would be amazed what you'd be subject to if you lived above the 49th parallel.

Thank you for that, fredriley and please rest assured that there are many here in the states who DO know the difference.
Unfortunately, we have had an overabundance of moronic ranting over the airwaves and internet leading up to this last election.
Politics in the U.S has been reduced to the lowest common denominator.

Lovely song, he's really beginning to grow on me. Some people have compared our music to Iron and Wine....can't see it myself but I'm not complaining, he's very good :-) judge for yourself http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=656132090&v=app_2405167945&ref=profile

Kristina was no limp wrist. After Abdicating and converting to Catholicism, she got people to leave a party she held by opening fire on the crowd.
They got the message and dispersed.
At least the ones who survived did, anyhow.

Went and saw him play last night and he put on a very good show, was just him with an acoustic guitar. I was hoping that he would play Such Great Heights, didn't happen.

Apparently 'Iron & Wine' is the stagename of Sam Beam. He recently moved somewhere near Austin.

Turning into a big fan of these guys. I think this one is quite cool. This percussion reminds me a little of "Tusk", but that's ok.

LOL on the chimps above! Kind of looks like something from Riverdance though.

It might very well be the best Iron & Wine song of them all, in my mind.
I figured either a ringer, history major who knew Swedish History, or perhaps a fan of the old Connections tv show.
I'm re-re-re-re--reading the 163x series by Eric Flint(read 1632 free at that link, and all the freebies at Baen HERE) and in it, he supposes that a town from West Virginia circa 2000, pops back into the midst of the Thirty Years War, and they convince Gustav not to lead that fatal Cavalry charge.

If you're argument is hinged on the ratio of men to women, then you should also consider the ratio of 'attempts', that is the number of times men have been in charge compared to women...
