TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Most interesting part is, the people that support this shit ("taxed enough already") are also on food stamps.  Something to the order of 1/3rd of Americans are on some form of nutritional supplement assistance.  100 million, more or less.

QuoteThe White House has threatened a veto of the House bill. It will now proceed to conference committee, where it will be merged with a Senate farm bill that includes some $4 billion in food stamp cuts.

$4 Billion is a lot of food.

What the quote about civilisations and meals away from starvation? Anyone? Food riots? Rome? Anyone?

I'm sure anything like that would totally not lead to increased funding for a militarised police force. No way.

Wow, didn't realize it was that many.
But I foresee now buying my neighbors food more often.

As far as the whole agricultural bill issue:
http://grist.org/article/food-2010-09-21-op-ed-corn-subsidies-make-unhealthy-food-choices/

QuoteOne important thing for consumers to note is that in 2009, $15.4 billion in subsidies were lavished on the growers of corn, cotton, rice, wheat, and soybeans. In that same year, fruits, vegetables, and organics received only $825 million in support from the federal government. And that money doesn't go directly into fruit and vegetable growers' pockets, but mostly goes toward procurement for schools, research and market promotion programs.
Junk food is made cheaper, and it ought to be the other way around, we should make it cheaper to eat well as a government policy.

This is also going to suck for grocery stores.  food stamps don't just help hungry poor people, they also help the people hungry poor people buy food from.

I mean, I'm sure these hungry broken people with no assistence from the society that feeds on them won't just go STEALING and committing other crimes to feed themselves. This will compel then to bootstrap their way to a sandwich.

I am really starting to hate America. I hate that we are right.

What's funny is, these assholes only have about 9% support.  It's like watching King Stephen and Empress Maud strip England bare in a family fight, to no fucking purpose other than to strip it bare.
