Nice try, dead.

Paul gets $20.12 to spend before the nomination is decided and anything Romney gets he has to wait for.

Better for Veta to spend his $20.12 on Ron Paul bonds in the Iowa electronic political stock market at their current price of $0.03.

If Paul gets the nomination, dead gets his man and Veta brings home $666.36.

Skrum; who said Veta is donating to Romney. I'm giving the option of him using the money for whatever he wants.

Also; I might add; how much do you have of your own money invested in this gambling game that you ever so frequently talk about?

Surely you owe us full discloser.

Also I figured Veta's bet was less about the money and more about the gentleman's wager / bragging rights. If he wants to gamble and make a huge profit; that's his prerogative; personally I just think it is an interesting wager because I don't believe Veta is considering the volatility in this election cycle. He could easily be wrong about Romney; and I'm willing to wager that it will happen.

> These are not analogies. These are facts. These are applications of powers of the states.

Yet Skrum you were justifying controlling sexual orientation by them, hence they were analogies.

dead,

Veta is giving up the use of $20.12 for six months. He could use that $20.12 to donate to Romney.

It's 20.12 dollars. There is no interest on that over that period of time. If he wants interest fine; I'll pay him 3.001 to 1. Now stop picking nits.

ugly:

I wasn't using them to justify states controlling sexual behavior. States have the power to control sexual behavior. I was asking for an argument why not?

dead:

I have no money in the game, so I am completely unbiased.

btw; do you have a microphone? I'd love to discuss via tinychat.

I'll idle in a tinychat room if you want to discuss; ill be up for a few hours working.
