That is exactly what's wrong with this industry.

Be careful there. John might just take you over to Isis and recruit ya. ;)

"Of five areas of expenditure—Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, Medicaid, and defense—the military was only area where a majority (60 percent) suggested spending should be cut to reduce the deficit." Military was the only area? Shoulda been more. It might have if they added welfare into...

Now what's with beating up on the S&M crowd? A little role-playing never hurt anyone. Heck, I know bunches of neo-cons who role-play. They pretend to be good Christians for two hours on Sunday, then revert to their a-hole selves for the rest of the week. ;) I would, however, like to know if...

That is exactly why I chose to move to Pontiac, rather than Roseville, Lincoln Park, or Warren. It might have its own problems, but at least it's far enough away from Detroit.

Without cutting sacred cows like WELFARE, or fixing them like SSI, they will fail. On second thought, they have failed.

That doesn't, IMO, have anything to do with limited government, per se.

Limited government has nothing to do with it. The Constitution, as I see it, only limits the federal government on what it can/can't do. State and local governments, however, are able to create whatever system they want, as long as it doesn't break the rules set forth in the many Amendments...

Thanx, but I purchased the Buddha Shiva repent-free soul. It comes with a lifetime guarantee that if I don't go to heaven, I get my money back. ;)

Now that the Detroiter is a Flying J, why don't you stay there? Monroe is a ways away from the dock, in case you have to pick up there. Just a suggestion.

You know 95% of forum police give the other 5% a bad name. ;)

I'm hoping to start our own tradition for Christmas this year. It has to do with our new house, a fireplace, a view of the lake, no TV, and a lot of hunkerin'.

The thing is, they're supposed to be peace officers, not revenue generators. Not thugs of the establishment. No wonder people view the badge with apathy or outright disdain. And when I say revenue generators, I mean by ticketing someone for doing 5 over, after they hide behind a building to...

What's with the graph thingy? All I see are the blue bars go up and the red bars are down. I could make something like that too. It's called statistics, dammed statistics, and lies. A blog which links to the Center for American Progress does not constitute accurate and trustworthy reporting...

I'm going to call you Freak-a-Freud. :D

Yep... Jefferson was there. And so were many others who thought it wasn't a big deal to have a White House Christmas tree (as we still do). So no, separation of church and state was the idea of one man, taken as gospel by a bunch of atheists. Our government doesn't force one to choose one...

You libs love to quote that letter. It is just that... a letter. How is setting up a nativity scene establishing a religion? If abolishing Christmas from the public square was the Founding Fathers' intent, wouldn't they have started the abolishing themselves? That is a fairly recent thing...

I only know back as far as what my grandparents taught me. Everything before that is here-say. ;) I'd love to experience an 1890s Christmas, tho just seeing my childhood city being lit up from end to end would be great. Today, I don't think my kids get the Christmas spirit like we used to...
