You can't argue with a closed mind.
You might as well be arguing with a cat.

Interesting article...I like the expression that was used by one of the opponents of the bill, "Burning down the barn to find a suspected rat". Reminds me of something that occurred recently...
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter, that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Too funny! :) Just last night I was reading that the name "Chicago" is from the smell of wild onions, too, as so many grew there. :D

"It is thought that the name Chicago is derived from the smell of wild onions:
"Indians, mainly Potawatomi, who were the most powerful tribe around the south end of Lake Michigan, hunted, traded furs, and occasionally camped in the area they called "Checagou," evidently referring to the garlic wild onion smell which permeated the air."

Coca Cola means "bite the wax tadpole" in Chinese. They changed the spelling a bit so it now means, "Let the mouth rejoice".
