Only 51%. (Last prexy election)
Probably less than that if you count the hachet job done by the Bushies
on the electorial system in Ohio.

But add the 3% of the fools that voted other parties.
That 3% could have swung the election if they'd voted Democrat.

I guess that makes me a fool.

Please don't take that personally...
I actually hate the dominant 2 party system, but I don't believe that it
can be beaten at this time.

Unfortunately.

Ron Paul knows this as even tho' he is really Libertarian, he runs as
Republican so he has a real chance at getting elected.

The American people don't appear to be ready for a real change yet as a
majority.

I'd love to be an idealist, but realists seem to do better.


Yer foolin' yerself if you think that voting dem or rep is actually
making a choice. Look what happened in the midterms....friggin' dems
sold out just like I knew they would. We need a whole schload of
Bernie Sanders types being elected. The two party system is a joke,
another myth which folks swallow.

Yer preachin' to the choir babe!
But, see the above. You have to deal with the majority.

The Sheeople.

Idealism won't work yet. Not without a LOT more work, or perhaps
improvement of the gene pool.

No, we are ALREADY in the Matrix.

lol I'm always up for a good debate!
IMHO we are swinging away from the original Republic to almost a true
Democracy and this is not a good thing.

Yeah....rigged elections are the sign of a true democracy. Can you say
corporatocracy. But I agree that wherever we are, it is not a good
place.

We are open to suggestions.


As much as I love Capitalism (because it benefits anyone willing to work
hard enough), it can reach a point of no return where he who has the
gold makes ALL the rules...

and gods help the rest of us.

True, but the incentive for willingness to work hard enough has been
shipped overseas. Pensions gutted, health care/insurance situation
abysmal

It has reached the point of no return.

sigh

Potential Socialism provides NO incentives.
That's why they all eventually die in misery and poverty.

We all need that carrot on a stick to advance ourselves.

We need hope for advancement. That is human nature.

Otherwise, we tend to do just enough to get by.

My health care insurance this year just went to hell. If I don't mail
order my prescriptions, they won't pay for beyond the first month.
Fortunately the state is trying to introduce legislation to outlaw that.

They also refused to pay the $70.00 for my pap smear.

Guess they'd rather pay for cervical cancer treatment...

Idiots!

Can I put, say, 2 per pot and is it too late in the year for me to mess
with this? Should I wait until September?

I don't understand the waiting til Sept. You in the southern
hemisphere?

It has to do with light cycles.
Tomatoes will not "set" fruit if the light and dark timing are not right.
I live in South Central Texas so we don't generally get a frost until
late November.


You bet you can put two per pot. It just takes more nutrient
supplementation. I grow several pots of tomatoes. Peppers do great in
pots as well. I plant two peppers per five gallon size post and have
good yields.

Charlie

Peppers don't get as big as 'maters. ;-)

How big are your pots and what variety of tomato do you use?

What nutrient supplements?
