    Homelessness is caused by people who can't afford homes? Why, that's irrefutable logic.
    Car crashes are caused by cars hitting something.
    Some diseases are caused by viruses.
    Divorces are caused by people who no longer want to stay together.
    Mud pies are not as tasty as apple pies.
    I'm so glad that these things are pointed out to my pointy little head.
    Dumbed down?
    Dumbed out.

    Years ago me dino read someone in the comments section of some article state that he made it his business to drive the speed limit in the left lane because motorists in that lane drive too fast.
    Later tailgating at an Alabama game, I mentioned that to Joe, my most right wing of all my four brothers.
    Joe said, "Ah, a socialist."

    I can't afford a yacht. Why does the media refuse to cover the widespread yachtlessness crisis?

    You've caused me to recall when I controlled the back gate from Tower 4 at the prison. Part of my job was to lower a shotgun with a rope to the garbage escort officer and keep watch with an AR-15 while a couple of inmates push trash cans on carts outside to the dumpers across the drive that encircles the prison fence.
    Then came my first day when the garbage truck arrives and I've been told to announce it to the shift office on my hand radio.
    I tell the shift office that "the garbage truck has arrived."
    I get an angry rebuke from a lieutenant: "That's Waste Management and that's all you call it!"
    Off the air I'm all like "Well, woopy do! That's a big bad for a fancy "waste management" stupid garbage truck I see a-coming!"

    LOL,I was at the Salvation Army and I bought a previously utilized book. The story was of a sanitation engineer and the implementation of his
    Refuse transporter to expel the previously utilized
    Items he had gatherered , the act of expelling the waste facilitated his exit from the facility. I am used to being less explicate.

    Hi O.A.,
    Some response to an election. These same anarchist's could very well be paid agitators
    Funded by George Soros's many leftist organizations. He conspires to incite riots and no consequences. He is a snake charmer , hopefully soon to be bit.

    Dumb can also be trying to look smart.
    For 21 years in every Alabama Department Of Corrections memo whether posted on a wall or sent to me to read would always and I mean always contain some form of three basic words which are (1) implement, (2) facilitate and (3) utilize. Me dino noticed this during the first six months when I was a trainee back in 1982.
    Quite often all three would be used.
    Yes, I wrote "used." A Bama DOC memo writer would recoil in horror at the thought of using any form of so base a word as the base word "use."
    "Used" would just have to be substituted by "utilized" each and every time.
    Never saw "to do" or "do it" or "use it" in any similar form. No, that kinda English was too freaking simple to feel self-important..

    Hello Dobrien,
    I think this falls along those same lines.
    "Police officers in Portland, Oregon, have arrested 112 protesters during violent protests after the election of Donald Trump. Of those 112, 69 either were not registered to vote in Oregon, or did not vote there in the 2016 election, NBC’s KGW TV reports."

    Respectfully,
    O.A.
