Certainly. 

In graph theory, this is special case of a complete graph that is self-connected, disconnected, directed and undirected, that is to say those 100,000 are elements of an infinite set which is neither countable nor uncountable and which therefore violates the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem, thus making one&#039;s head spin before exploding. 

Or worse. We could end up like Felix Hausdorff.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey give us a chance to show you how many more are against spring hunting. What are you afraid of? 

Of course nobody has an automatic right to kill OUR birds in &#039;pregnant&#039; spring. They are restricting our &#039;passatempi&#039; and not us. What a cheek!

Another conundrum.  If they are that many,  then they are not a victimised minority,  as they are claiming to be.  If they are a minority,  then democracy will tell them where they stand. 

Let&#039;s hope that Joseph Muscat will support them so that his true liberal and European credentials become evident even to those who do not want to see the obvious.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So are these 100,000 signatories trying to use the people&#039;s right to seek an abrogative referendum in order to demand the abrogation of that very same right. 

My head is spinning.  It sounds like one of those logical conundrums,  for example, asking if this sentence is true: &quot;This sentence is false.&quot;

Perhaps Baxxter can expound on this.]]></description>
