    Remember Reagan was shot at for Jodie Foster. Weirdest assasination attempt ever.

    Before I came on here, I did not understand how important Houston was to this board.

    Help me out here. I'm just TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

    Do you mean within the official city limits of Houston? Because some people use "Houston" to mean the greater metropolitan area and maybe include places like Conroe and Tomball. What's it like living in Tomball? Oh, and then there's that street in NYC that's pronounced "Hows-ton." Do you mean there? Do you really live in NYC? What's it like living among so many blacks, criminals, and gays? Don't knock me, I'm just trying to understand because you brought up big cities and your answer about the gay black criminals would help me understand your point.

    What do you mean by calmed down? That means different things to different people. I once used my super fake ghetto accent to tell an angry black person to "calm down n*****." He got mad, but I don't understand why. I was just talking to him in the usual vernacular. He seemed overly-sensitive. Is that the way they usually react? Is this a racial issue? I just really want to understand this "calm" thing because you brought it up and I really don't understand it.

    And what do you mean by beer? A pilsner? An ale? There are these things called "near beers." Is that what you meant? So you really don't drink beer? I hear black people like something called "malt liquor." Why is that? Is that even beer? I think there are more Hispanics that drink beer than blacks, but I don't know if "malt liquor" is included in those stats. I don't blame you, but you're the one that brought up beer, so I'm just trying to understand your point of view.

    I don't care about scoring points but I don't see the link between Houston, calm, and beer. I can see the A and B, but not the C.

    This country is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. What I mean is Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff.

    Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave!

    Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!!

    I think the Squeaky Fromme/Charles Manson diad beats Hinkley/Foster every time; it's hard to top Manson for weirdness.

    I'm not voting for either McCain or Obama.

    I do think there are some nut jobs out there that are crazy enought to try to kill Obama or McCain before the election to help their candidate.

    But I think there are crazies on both sides so I don't think either candidate is safe.

    I hope I'm wrong.
