      <![CDATA[All this love for a cat you let play in traffic until it died?  You are as responsible for this cat's death as the owner of the vehicle it ran out in front of.  Actually, unless the driver swerved at the cat and ran it over on purpose, you are MORE to blame for it's untimely demise.<br>
<br>
Quit blaming others for your own irresponsibility; YOU killed this cat.

<br>
1. other women don't like you because you're a bitch<br>
2. your male friends don't like you either (because your a bitch) but they pretend to because they think it'll help them get in your pants (yes this is just as pathetic as it sounds, happens all the time, and almost never works for the guys).

      <![CDATA[Its PEOPLE, thats the problem.i so wish the world government would hurry up and drop a chemical from the stratosphere that would sterilize a generation of the population. Less of you and less of me would ease so much strife and pollution. Eventually we could get back to makin' bacon but why not take a break for awhile?

      <![CDATA[@soggo, well put. I could be just as stupid as ever, but I think Tornado was being sarcastic. Also, am I the only one who finds it ironic that the one of the target groups you are trying to "help" does not support the idea much? Thank you for your unbiased coverage that was free of your usual feeble hipster humor.

      <![CDATA["...you'd think astronauts would be dismissive of Bowie's "Space Oddity," detailing, as it does, astronaut death. Not the case."<br>
<br>
Actually, they changed the words so as not to include the death part at all.  The "tell my wife i love her very much" and "your circuit's dead, there's something wrong" lines were replaced by some drama-less re-entry talk.  They gave a happy ending to a song about a not-so-happy ending, skipping over the whole point of the damn thing.<br>
<br>
Geez, don't let these guys get a hold of '2001: A Space Odyssey' -- they would make the apes vegetarians and would have HAL be more understanding and not so murderous.

      <![CDATA["Roundly rejected"? What are you talking about? It failed by a margin of less than three-quarters of 1% (or just 1600 votes out of 210,000) in a general election in a Republican wave year. That's practically a rounding error. The measure would have passed in 2008 or 2012. 49.62% to 50.38% doesn't mean "killed by voters"; it means "try again."
