I hope it widens enough for me to plant a mango tree in the back yard. I love mangos.


A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

I agree 100% Sawdust.
We are suppose to buy local foods. Well you know I just can't find any local Bananas, Pineapples and of course Mangos. My Doctor says I need more fruits in my diet.

I like pineapples, sure enough. But I'm not willing to give up on apples for them.

I figure there are always some higher altitudes that could produce those. You know just a change of attitude. LOL.

Ha ha... Not Funny.

  • 75-250 million people across Africa could face water shortages by 2020
  • Crop yields could increase by 20% in East and South East Asia, but decrease by up to 30% in Central and South Asia
  • Agriculture fed by rainfall could drop by 50% in some African countries by 2020

Could be funny.


-The whole thing could blow over in ten or twenty years.
-Could is a bigger word than if. More letters.

Yeah, but Lomborg's arguments is full of crap.

For instance, his fake arguement he makes about the sea level rise:
"IPCC: The (sea level rise) projections do not include uncertainties in climate-carbon cycle feedbacks nor the full effects of changes in ice sheet flow, therefore the upper values of the ranges are not to be considered upper bounds for sea level rise."
