today that if I don't listen to these "facts" I do not have an open mind and will never learn. I kid you not.

The person even posted a FB meme as "proof" they were right.

I was told that I will believe anything the government tells me. That from the person who told me about the solar panel plan.

that is all they have. They certainly don't have spell check.

A FB meme to prove a point. I about died with laughter.

I have a feeling the death throes are upon them when they don't even try.

That was from an "authority". The ones I heard were from who-knows-where.

All Muslims are evil terrorists...No exceptions.

G.W. Bush was the last President who cared about the military, and the proof is a photo of him hugging a soldier.


I avoid R's as much as possible because life's too short to be subjected to a steady diet of ignorant shit.

Only the religious have a moral compass, atheists are clearly commie-soulless-militants.

The rich pay way more in taxes than poor people.

The ACA is socialism. Obama is also a socialist, who is a secret Muslim.

Obama's going to take away "our" guns

being judgmental for saying this:

If you can't hit your target in 2 shots, you shouldn't own a gun.

IDK about you but I don't want to be hit by an errant bullet while someone is self-defending, themselves.

And that because "99%" of our energy comes from coal, we will all just have to sit in the dark.

I keep her quite firmly contained, but she has the Red Cross occasionally mail out a message.

Obama wants to ban fishing. This from a "Rock And Roll" DJ that I know personally.

not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims.

It's not helping at all, at least for corn farmers. While land prices are soaring (I've seen acreage go for $10K an acre), it's killing the farmers themselves. If they want to expand, they have to either rent, or buy at inflated prices. Renting can work, but rental income is barely keeping pace with actual inflation (which includes the cost of prescriptions and insurance and et cetera), so the landowners who have been trying to hold rents to a reasonable level are getting squeezed. The only other option is plant more thickly, add more inputs and pray for rain. They're basically growing hydroponic corn, and that can't last. If they get a poor crop, well, it's a poor one. If they have a bumper, the futures drop by $1 a bushel. It's a no win. They're working harder and longer for less functional returns. They have zero support if they want out and to go into something else.

The first ethanol subsidy fell a couple months ago. The first is always the hardest, but with one down and very little pushback on it, the rest will eventually follow. EPA and DOE have both issued reports that put corn-based ethanol as a net-zero fuel that may be accelerating climate change and is definitely contributing to ground-level pollution. I don't expect corn subsidies to die in the near future (Iowa matters), but their end is on the horizon. That crash will be devastating for everyone except ADM and Monsanto.
