Poverty rate growing in state

[sauerkraut]

Ohio has alot of poverty, but Ohio also has alot of big cities to balance out the poor rural areas. The cost of living is so much lower in Oklahoma than Ohio, True Oklahoma taxes all food and Ohio does not tax any food items, but rents are higher in Ohio, home prices are higher, electric & gas bills are more expensive than Oklahoma, we even have city income taxes on top of state income taxes.The prop. taxes for a $100,000 home in Columbus, Ohio is about $2,000.00, it's alot less in Tulsa- The wages here are the same as Oklahoma $7.00 to $9.00 an hour (some jobs go up to $11.00 an hour), but in the end you have more money in your pocket living in Oklahoma than in Ohio. There's alot of web site where ya can match city by city side by side on things such as crime & cost of living and wages and things like that.

Facing Down Poverty

"Last week, President Bush cited the recent Census Report as proof "that more of our citizens are doing better in this economy, with continued rising incomes and more Americans pulling themselves out of poverty." Welcome to the latest episode of Fantasy Island with George Bush."

Quoting "Commie Dreams" now for your Bush-bashing.  How nice.

Earthquakes are caused by people not being mean enough to gay people and/or not believing in the correct god and/or not worshiping said god in the correct way.  Tsunami's created by such activity in Southeast Asia are the gods' way of punishing Sweden for being nice to gay people.  

On a slightly unrelated note, God hates Ireland because leprechauns are gay. (I cant make this stuff up)

Morbid curiosity prevents me from putting you on ignore.  You are usually way out there, but every now and then your nonsense makes coffee shoot out my nose.

No- Not if the squirrels are in a tree and the charge goes thru the tree. If the squirrel was grounded such as standing at the base of the tree with 2 front paws on the tree trunk and the two back legs on the ground- or his long bushy tail was touching the ground then he would get fryed. This is like people riding in a aircraft that gets zapped with lightning, the current just passes thru the plane. I seen a tree get zaped by lightning in mid Iowa many years ago off of I-80 at a Union 76 truck stop. The bolt hit a tree in a field about 200' away. WoW sparks flew and the tree was smoldering and it was dumping rain at the time. if it was not for the rain that tree could of burst in flames.

I've never seen a squirrel struck by lightening, but one time I saw a squirrel jumping between two wires and he hesitated and ended up with his front paws on one wire and his back paws on the junction of another.  I didn't see sparks or anything, but he fell from the pole and went thump.

A neighbor lady yelled at me for throwing rocks at him and didn't believe me when I told her it just fell.  Life's not fair (to squirrels).

and AOX, I never said I was going to put you on ignore.  I just decided it isnt worth my time to try to engage in substantive arguments with you.
