Nothing new there. IRS? "Sales tax deduction"? What drugs are you on? -- Keith

Perhaps you want to read what the founding fathers thought it meant. Hint: I has nothing to do with what we call "welfare". -- Keith

Ok. I have thought about possible Islamic decisions which would use similar tactics and dismissed them all as either idiotic or ineffective. First though, I though about which "Islam" could make such a decision. I have also though about the fact that there are non-Islamic countries which produce oil. I am sure most OPEC nations would baulk at bankrupting themselves just to reduce the oil they export to the west. Unsettled is talking nonsense and creating more strawmen than usual here. Siding with him on this does your argument no good.

Most good/real/churned buttermilk stays in the locale that creates it. Sometimes one can find a restaurant supply house that is both open to the public and actually caries real/churned buttermilk. -- JosephKK Gegen dummheit kampfen die Gotter Selbst, vergebens. --Schiller |
