    How is that possible? George was the president. The house and senete are the ones who pass the rules and regulations. Why do people always blame the president for everything when he is just the figurehead! Place the blame where it belongs.:eek:

    the winds of war are a blowing

    I've heard it for a long time. "lets strike". What needs to happen is for the drivers to shut down all at the same time for their 34 hr restart right before or after a holiday. A strike will bring in "big brother" and a few drivers will end up in court and/ or jail. This is not just about...
