    Question about load weight.

    Actually the rear end of the vehicle carries the weight. The BIT (a.k.a. Biennial Inspection of Terminals) seems to be more geared to encompass the audit that a lot of other states do to ensure the authorities within their borders are actually keeping up to date records and so on. You seem...

    As Barry fiddles

    there is a problem, fences are getting in the way of those trying to make a living hauling humans across the desert. IF we put as much effort into demanding a solution for the real border problem as we did with those who were killed in a senseless but actual not important shooting, then we...

    What we are up against

    Moon beams all around please. The problem you think we need to actually do something about all if this ... get with it please. Understand that first we have an inept leader which is an understatement but also understand that IF anything is going to change Iran, it will not be an external...

    A One-Sided Arms Race

    Well I don't see the treason, can someone please explain from reading the treaty and the executive summary what are we giving away AND what is treason? Also this started with the Bush Administration and Rice, knowing that the old treaty - more specifically the inspection of material and arms...

    Mercy killing is not a crime – it is a brave and selfless act of love

    You know the problems related to this issue are private and not problems that should have been sensationalized by a person who took it upon himself to legalize something that wasn't illegal or even questioned until it was forced into the public spot light. His reasoning was flawed, most of the...

    Question about load weight.

    But what? OK I will give that to you, register it as a new GVW but the problem is the registration means squat when you are hauling outside that state - the door sticker rules. Not all states permit this. Ah... but that's not a valid point. That is a commercial vehicle and as such is...

    Arizona shooting victim makes death threat

    Well Diva, if it is a mental health issue, then where is that line drawn between the person's rights and the right of the public? I mean with the number of cases that have popped up in the last 15 years where judges have pretty much told the public at large "too bad, the patient has rights"...

    Tunisian leader forced from power

    We don't provide the force to make sure that the med is open waters, the Europeans do. We provide some support, AND Russia along with other not so friendly countries also have the same dependency on the open waters as Europe does but that's not the issue here. What is seems to be the thought...

    Arizona shooting victim makes death threat

    Now there is a race issue; From the AP - The son of Martin Luther King Jr. says the recent shootings in Arizona that killed six and left a congresswoman critically wounded shows the work of his father must continue. What work? Didn't we forget the true meaning of all of his work and allow...

    Tunisian leader forced from power

    Well the stakes are higher for the EU not us. We need to focus on the areas that directly affect us, not in Africa where if we do something, the world would be jumping on us for doing something while they don't do a thing. Africa is a funny place, it is where people are governed by people who...

    Tunisian leader forced from power

    Hum... you know where Tunisia is? I think if Morocco and Tunisia both fall, then the problem would be more with the EU than with the US. Iran funding anything there could be no problem for us, the proximity to Italy and France would be a cause to worry if I lived in Italy or France. ALSO...

    Obama's agenda for 2011

    I have a very strong feeling that he is going to start "influencing" companies to become unionized. The great idiot leader of the UAW said something interesting the other day that falls right into the Obama mindset; "I would be very, very concerned if I was an auto manufacturer, of having...

    Iraqi soldier guns down two US troops in Mosul drill

    See I think part of the problem is the idea we need to win the hearts and minds of the people, which has backfired on us a few times. I think we need to speak on their level, tell them that if they want to live under the taliban without any of our aid, then they don't have to support us and we...

    US environmental agency revokes mine's permit for mountaintop removal

    This is a very good illustration of the problem when the agencies gain the power to make decisions that the congress or the state/local authorities make. One thing that comes to mind is do we really need the EPA anymore with the states actually setting environmental policies within their...

    Question about load weight.

    Actually that is not true by any means. The GVW isn't changed by anyone except a manufacturer or an upfitter following the manufacturer's guidelines - and the latter is only within the rated GVW of the manufacturer. I have been over this subject with several groups who regulate and...

    Anonymous urges global protests

    Um... OK I get it... just because you have one country working within their law to find answers and that don't bode with others outside the country, a group is calling for demostrations and protests because they see it as an attack on freedoms of speech who are "self-styled internet freedom...
