  1. You know what I find amazing is the ratio for federal spending as opposed to what each state pays to the federal government in taxes. Texas ranks pretty good actually the latest ( said with tongue in cheek ,these are 2004 figures) is Texas gets back 94 cents for each dollar it pays in. I don't hear about California and seceding and they only get 79 cents back for each dollar. Your state is surrounded by a bunch of "welfare queens" though. New Mexico at 2.00 received for every dollar leads the pack. Ok at 1.48,

    AR at 1.47, LA at 1.45, Ks at 1.12, and NE at 1.07. Poor CO comes in at .79 . so it could be worse.

  2. I've become addicted to youtube. Since we already have topic for music videos I thought we should have one for non music videos. Here's one I found in my web-wanderings.

  6. Such contortions of logic are amazing. ten apples given to ten people equally each one gets one. ten apples given to no people or zero people. now how many apples do each of the non-existent people have??? zero by definition means nothing, zilch,nada,empty,the opposite of something.I have 10 chairs and 0 rooms how many chairs goes in each room? what rooms??????!!!! there aren't any!!!!!!

    10 divided by 1 is 10 and if 10 divided by 0 is ten; then 0 is the same as one.

  7. Ten divided by zero = ten (or ten tenths) you are certainly not going to end up with one less or one more apple by dividing it by zero. The number ten is based upon ten single values in a set of ten. One assumes if there is no value to divide ten it defaults to 1 or else ten would be x instead.

    Your logic seems to be a tad bit lacking there. the inverse of division is multiplication. by your logic if one has zero sets of ten apples he really has 10 apples. in reality if a person has 1 set of ten apples he has ten apples.

    the zero in ten is just a place holder. all it means is there are no "1"'s. Just as in if you add 1 to 99 you don't wind up with two zeroes and a one. the zeroes are just place holders meaning there are zilch, nada, none of those units we call tens and zilch, nada, none of those units we call ones.
