    Someone better start translating it to various acronyms suitable for texting .
    Then again, the language has evolved . Try reading the Declaration in the original text ;or some classic old English novels .

    I have a nearly 400-year-old framed page out of a King James bible, Genesis IV. Did you know Cain flew able?

    I hadn't realized that the translation was already done. Duh At one time I had an acronym dictionary that I c/p'd from the net, and for a while was able to convince my daughter that I knew text language.

    If you notice they tend to avoid framing her from the waist down. True its her constitution that she packs it on below the waist. Which from a health perspective is better than packing it on in the upper body, but that's not something you choose.

    But her yapping about that is like me yapping about why every guy doesn't have six-pack abs. (being I have a bit of a paunch I need to lose)

    Oh Hillary has beefy legs... if you are into that sort of thing.

    Neither of those two at any point of their lives were what I personally considered attractive (by my tastes). But they weren't all that bad either compared to some.

    But if they strike anyone's fancy... more power to them. To each his or her own.

    LA schools to remove chocolate, strawberry milk from campuses. I have no idea what they're going to replace it with, probably soy milk. I'm sure that'll be a hit.

    Quote:

    Healthier offerings could cost more, however, and prove less popular, jeopardizing federal funding if student consumption drops. That same concern holds with eliminating flavored milk, although the menu change itself will have no added cost.

    About 75% of milk sold is flavored, Oliver noted on the Kimmel show.
    The only milk I drank as a kid was chocolate, though I did use plain milk in my Sugar Pops. I also had lots of toast and margarine, bacon, sausage and eggs, peanut butter and jelly for breakfast... I've ballooned to a 34 waist.

    What happened to 'choice' in this country?

    Cocoa has a high fat and carbohydrate content that is true . But it is loaded with a variety of vitamins minerals and antioxidants/flavanoids . It also increases serotonine levels in the brain which is a positive. Combine that with the fact that many kids do not drink milk without the flavoring and one can only conclude that chocolate milk is an essential part of a balance diet.

    Then you have the people with soy allergies... are they going to ban it like they have peanut butter some places.

    San Francisco, the city which has apparently nothing better to do than monitor every aspect of its denizens' lives, is taking up another nanny state ban. Ed Driscoll takes up the issue:

    Making a Mountain of a Mohel

    Quote:

    “San Francisco may vote on banning male circumcision,” Reuters reports. But since the San Fransisco Examiner noted in March that “San Francisco [is] becoming a child-free zone as youth population declines,” and even the Associated Press was forced to report in 2005 that “San Francisco has the smallest share of small-fry of any major U.S. city,” this issue is yet another self-defeating reduction in freedom for the city and its residents.

    As I wrote last month, all of this makes you wonder: when the next San Francisco far left loony rails on against the dangers of Happy Meals, Junior ROTC, family-friendly SUVs or heck, circumcision, what’s the point of passing these laws when there are fewer and fewer kids left in the city?
    Have they banned freedom of religion in San Fran, too?

    Exit question: How long before progressives make themselves an endangered species?

    Didn't they already ban deodorants and women's razors? That may be connected to the decline in births. I know I am less inclined to want to bang a hairy smelly female. Of course in SanFran, you can add pompous and self righteous and assure a near total lack of desire to procreate.

    Hello again, Steve:

    I HATE margarine... Give me BUTTER..

    But, I think you're confused my friend... Choice is still with us. I know, cause I had a doughnut for breakfast.. Besides, education doesn't take your choice away. If anything, it enhances it. Course, you people would just rather not know stuff.. I don't know why.

    Oh, I just figured it out. Knowing stuff makes you elite. And, for sure, you don't want to be that.

    Well, I do know in San Francisco you can CHOOSE all manner of public perverseness, but don't take your kid for a Happy Meal. Maybe if McDonald's allowed gay sex in their restaurants they'd drop the Happy Meal ban.

    I know there are a large share of those that would rather bang the cow than eat it.

    Hello again, Steve:

    So, we've got a trade off happening here... In San Francisco, I can CHOOSE to purchase marijahoochie and not get thrown in the pokey... If I have to give up happy meals in order to do that, that's a trade I'll make...

    But, in YOUR neck of the woods, I can get a happy meal, but if I really want to get happy, YOUR nanny state is going to PROTECT me from myself, by putting my a$$ in jail... Let's talk about THAT.

    We've already been there, you know I'm not opposed to you gettin' happy. So, if we can allow you to get happy and kids to get their Happy Meals, can you agree that allowing public gay sex is not a good thing?

    Federal law still prevents anyone from that form of "getting happy". And no elected state peon can change that.

    So you are willing to trade-off a mom's freedom to buy a Happy Meal in exchange for your right to get happy and have public gay sex.

    Hello again, smoothy:

    So, states rights have NO place in your right wing Tea Party platform? I figured. You want people to be free. You just want 'em to be free to do what YOU WANT 'EM TO DO. I understand.

    States don't have 'rights'. States have 'powers' .
