Re: Humidors for sale
When I wanted to get my website some broad coverage by getting it listed in Google Maps, the best option they gave me was to call it a cafe. I think it helped, other than the random phone calls asking if we had wi-fi, etc. I'd tell them yes, we have wi-fi and I can make you a latte, but this is not a cafe. I think they got the impression I could be a serial killer with a hidden room under my basement, so they never actually made it over. It stopped being fun, so I cancelled the Google thing.

I figure states should fund their own education. They don't need a radical leftist ideology shoved down their throats in the red states.
Lol you live in a blue state.
Education is too big and too important to leave it to the states and municipalities alone.

I generally don't want any viewpoint in the education system. Just the facts good and bad would be great.
What is fact? Have you ever seen a tectonic plate or the big bang? I haven't. What caused the civil war? People in Mississippi still claim "state's rights" despite their secession convention records being completely contrary. Can't teach civics, English, science, health, PE, or even math without subjective content.
I don't think that anyone wants to see just facts. I think that everyone wants to see facts that they approve of and agree with.

Military, interstate highways, national parks, mail. Is there anything else they need to be spending money on?
Yeah yeah yeah. Until the first guy on TV is cutting off his Weiner or making an IED on live TV because the FCC doesn't exist. Also don't need the fda until there's listeria in all of our lunch meat or DHS until there's another 9/11.
Intelligence? Who cares? HUD? Nah, I'm sure that they'll be fine. And I'm sure they'll stay in their neighborhoods when they're not.
Oh, and I've never met an uneducated person who thinks we need a department of education, but that's just my personal experience.
These guys are just grooming us by normalizing and mastering public misinformation like Uncle Jimmy does with a 6 year old boy. Unfortunately, some people in this population are already too comfortable giving Uncle Jimmy groin massages when he visits. Wake up people.

Two fivers of Stoic cigars to get me in the right track for my hopefully short lived in unretirement.
