    Load Checks evry 150 miles?

    Last I heard, we were not supposed to check on a regular [therefore predictable] basis, for security [national, not the load's] concerns. Another case of the left hand not knowing what the right is doing, sounds like...

    Gadget Addiction Leads to Selling of Teen's Kidney

    Greg: I didn't say a pregnant teen has a 'right' to terminate the pregnancy, I said if she doesn't have that option, the long term result will be the same as allowing poor folks to sell organs: bad news for the rest of society, who will have to pay for it in future years. And worse news for the...

    "multiple expletives" ACLU

    Cause they broke the law and got caught. Doesn't mean they're dumb, always. [Though some are, spectacularly so.] :D My point was that people don't read the actual article to know what they're commenting on - the ACLU is not saying inmates should have porn, or anything like it, and they never...

    Natural Disaster Victims

    The mindset that vilifies people who don't have much [money, education, resources], for doing exactly the same things as those who have way above average money, education, and resources, [but are excused] reminds me of the account I'm reading now, on the birth of the Ku Klux Klan. How can you...

    Global war on drugs has 'failed' say former leaders

    Gil Kerlikowski [White House Drug Tsar] is claiming drug abuse can be successfully prevented and treated? I believe that man has provided probable cause for a drug test with that statement. :rolleyes: The authorities have too much invested in their 'war on drugs' to back down and admit they were...

    "multiple expletives" ACLU

    As usual, the comments [following the linked article] were hilarious. Just one [by "Tea Partier", if memory serves] pointed out the truth: the ACLU is contending that the restrictions are overly broad, NOT promoting porn. When newspapers are rejected for ads with women in lingerie [which is...

    Ok Man convicted of murder for killing a robber

    Based on just what's in the article, I'd have convicted Kimberly Cunningham of premeditated murder. She went to confront the man she believed had raped her daughter, with a loaded gun - not a good idea. Nor was the way she 'found out' about the alleged rape, by suggesting it to her daughter, and...

    Ultrashift shifting problem?

    A tech told me the same thing: when the transmission goes into 'defense' mode, [refusing to shift], the problem is electrical. If the battery cables were the whole problem, it's solved. :)

    Toronto couple defend move to keep baby's sex secret

    I'd strongly advise any 'neighbor' who felt justified in taking MY children to have their last wishes known, because they're not coming back. Of all the asinine suggestions, this is a blue ribbon contender for Worst Solution Ever.

    Comng to YOUR Kids School Soon??

    Considering the daily accounts of parents who aren't fit to raise goldfish, you guys think turning education over solely to parents is a good idea? :eek: Contrary to Mr Shooter's assertions, parents already have too much control over some things - I recall schools being forced to remove books...

    Ok Man convicted of murder for killing a robber

    Just read of a pharmacist for a Walgreen's in Benton Harbor, Mi, who shot an armed robber [who jumped the half wall into the pharmacy], with a concealed weapon he was licensed to carry, and was fired by the store. I'll post the link if I can find it again :confused:

    Toronto couple defend move to keep baby's sex secret

    Perhaps, having a 5 year old who wears his hair "in long braids", the parents will soon see just how difficult school and socializing is for kids who look and/or act 'different', before too much damage is done to the poor tots. It seems kids have learned that ridiculing the mentally or...

    Westboro Baptist plans to protest in Joplin

    AM: as Turtle pointed out, the WBC's goal is to provoke people into breaking the laws, whereupon they [WBC] can sue them. And they're pretty successful at it, so far, because THEY follow the laws. If you said Micheal Jackson is a child molester, I'd probably point out the laws against slander...
