Mike, I like you a lot, but you gotta learn that you can't believe everything you read.

This is the internet. People can create anything they like and post it. If you get all your news from similar sources, you're bound to be deceived.

"Reports appeared in local media earlier in the month that a law had been approved to charge residents of the 4-million-strong region 20 euros for each grilling session beginning in June."

Did you read the article that you posted. I actually did not get the stuff from the same sources. I heard about it and looked around on the internet and found a few articles. I see the article I posted was removed. Clearly many people were deceived.

So the local media in Belgium was playing an April fools day joke?
I clearly do not see how it is funny or able to happen.
Is the Belgium media trying to "test the waters"?

PS What about Thraxas and the hosepipe ban. BBQ taxes are a possibility.

Bringing back the dead(thread)

Here's a Chuck Norris fact you may not know. If Chuck Norris endorses you and appears in one of your campaign's TV ads, you take the lead in an Iowa poll and your Web server crashes. That's what happened to Mike Huckabee, the shrewder-than-you-realize former Arkansas governor (sound familiar?) who has become a major player in the tight Republican presidential race. The ad opens with Huckabee deadpanning: "My plan to secure the border? Two words: Chuck Norris." The camera moves back to reveal the Man Himself, who praises Huckabee as a solid, gun-loving, IRS-loathing conservative. Huckabee adds a twist at the end. "I approved this message ... So did Chuck."

"Chuck Norris doesn't endorse," Huckabee says in one of the forthcoming spots. "He tells America the way it's gonna be." That doesn't sound very democratic, but as the Web site says, this isn't a democracy. It's a Chucktatorship.

I just wonder how people can look outside see that the air is frggin brown and figure everything is A ok.

England banned burning in city areas too because they at least could tell the air was crap and something had to be done. Not that it didn't take them a while to do it.

oh and big AL is as big a crook a Nixon was. Don't believe a word he says.

It's easier to live by the philosophy that everyone that tells you what to do is a liar.

Terribly so but this is very true, (eggs are good for you / eggs will kill you) Every group & government have their own agendas and sadly we are not an important factor to it.

The human psyche is inherently designed to be concerned about their surroundings, but how can we be focused when so many are out there perverting it for their own gain?

The future is coming.. and we better be ready.
