ParticipantI can think of four reasons why real estate in SD is twice as expensive as in Florida:
1) Sweltering heat and humidity
2) Bugs
3) Alligators
4) RednecksI’m sure there are others, but these four are enough to keep me away from Florida.

I’ve never been into adversarial sports, and can’t even begin to comprehend the mindset. I’ve also never felt wed to any political party, and, likewise, cannot understand the mindset of those who defend “their party” no matter how badly they’ve managed things. I really wish we could aboloish the party system, and instead, vote for the individual people who have the highest level of integrity, are the most capable/intelligent negotiators, and who best represent our individual interests, and the best interests of society.[/quote]You are part of the 20%. Welcome. The other 80% cannot relate to you. They enjoy their teams and being on “the good side.”
Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert, and Bill Maher are there to keep the 20 percenters pacified. These genuinely funny guys will talk about the things that are going wrong but then never offer any realistic suggestions about how to fix them. They just make little smug faces as they deliver their punchlines, and the 20% crowd laughs along while their 401K balances diminish, their health insurance goes up, and their jobs are outsourced to India.
Thank you for playing. All your base are belong to us.

ParticipantAnd this is why the Quigley Formula is so effective. Never more than about 20% of the population at any time is able to think outside of the two boxes. Another way of saying it is that only about 20% of the people are willing to consider that their side might be in the wrong. About 80% of the population, therefore, can be counted on to think in a rigid, predictable manner; their team is always right. By maintaining a very near 50/50 ratio between the two teams, wiggling back and forth every few years, a very predictable outcome is assured. No one gets enough time to become completely disillusioned with “their side” since it isn’t allowed to stay in control for too long. Once a side is out of power, the 80% blind followers can be counted on to blame the other side for all of their problems.
Whoever came up with this thing was really smart. Evil, but really really smart.

ParticipantHahaha we can’t even make the stupid scanners here. They are made in India:
Body scanner CEO accompanies Obama to India
Remember the “Sharp Dressed Man” who assisted the underpants bomber onto that plane last holiday season, even though he didn’t have a passport? The witnesses reported him as being of Indian ethnicity:
