Actually, I saw a humorous slant to his remarks where yours seemed rather ... disdainful.

And I think one would have pretty thin skin to interpret my words as 'jumping' on you. Take a deep breath ... let it out slowly ... slowly ... there, there. Now doesn't that feel better than blowing a gasket over such triviality???

knowing piel as most of us do in the p&r thread he could be dead serious. he actually does come up with such absurdity all the time. if you don't want to be ridiculed then don't say ridiculous things.

Where you so obviously understand that concept, I'm truly at a loss to understand your over-reaction to my simple question. I would have expected that you anticipated heaps of ridicule.

Quote from peilthetraveler:

The government owns about 50% of all the land in the US. So here is a simple solution. Create government farms, gold/silver mining operation, and oil wells. Now...no machinery will be used. It will all be picks, shovels and basic hand tools. This will get the overweight people some exercise and the government can pay them about $400 per week (about what unemployment pays) This of course will be paid for mostly by the proceeds made by selling the food that is farmed, the gold that is mined and the oil that is drilled. And since the obese people will be getting fit they will have less health problems which means less of a burden on the health care system.

Of course nobody is forced to take these jobs, its all a choice, but no more unemployment benefits for able bodied workers. You work these jobs if you cant get a normal job. This work would also employ convicts, and since convicts normally cant get a job, this would keep them busy so there would be less crime on the streets and we wouldnt need to spend so much on housing future prisoners. As the government saves more money, it can reduce taxes which will create more jobs in the private sector.

Win/win for everyone, right?

Anyone see any flaw in this?

Construction is good exercise:

I wonder if the Gravina Island Bridge would fit over the Ohio River???

idiocy at work. most of the land the government owns is not farmable...

I'm thinking the time is right to bring back the victory garden.
