Adalstef: What do you disagree about?

There was a shutdown in ´95 and ´96, right?
There was no chaos then, right?

so why would this shutdown be any different?




This link will explain what took place in 1995-96 and what could happen now.

Interestingly 97 percent of NASA employees would be sent home while all employees working on the International Space Station will stay.

What makes them so special? confused

Date: October 1st, 2013 Time: 3:12am. Just made it in from work, sitting down and turned on the laptop. Hearing a low rumbling sound that seems to engulf me from all directions. Might be the sound of tank treads roaming through the neighborhood. Time: 3:15am. Upon further investigation, the low rumbling sound is coming from my stomach, I'm hungry. Will report back later with updates.

I suppose for some they will be hung over and of course there is always the process of removing the makeup without the dermal layer. For those that don't get dressed up and just stay home, well not much I suppose.

well, I suppose I should not joke around without reading what the story is about. I have to say it is not so surprising, People (groups) not getting along. Just politicians throwing their weight around and all the while common folk have not a lot to do but make sure their families are reasonably protected against those that might take advantage of the situation. I was thinking about the term "Obamacare" even if you like it or not.....or neither...it seems like a stupid name for it, especially if the plan is truly supposed to be a long term Health reform. Giving it the name of one president is at the very least narcissistic and what about after the next president comes along? The name should have been something clever and not so connected to one person. Even a good sales person should see that. Two groups of adults that can't play together fairly. It is pathetic indeed.

It's October 1st and nobody has been guillotined.

I'm pretty sure that tonight another conspiracy theory will be reputed false.

It must be a bit higher than that.

What makes them so special?


Perhaps, because they are in orbit?
