    Interesting Quote

    Whilst searching thru the comments on a news article, I came across this quote:

    OK, so it essentially came from another socialist, Upton Sinclair who was just a little more wordy

    Too Late. The last election sealed the deal. Invest in guns and whiskey. Better yet, learn how to make both.

    Actually, I don't really have to find out who, or what source that kind of quote came from to know that it is true, all I have to do is look around and see what is happening to the country I served 50 years ago, a lot of changes - very few for the good - 'nuff said

    Aquaponics or political website???
    Let's all unite together through our addiction to AP.
    There are other websites/blogs out there to address these other issues..
    Just my opinion...

    I agree with that analogy of Snopes...caught too many times with their hand in the liberal cookie jar.
