I don't understand the need to know anybody's 'background' here, when it comes to political/philosophical opinions - the Soapbox was meant as a place to discuss and debate issues, not personalities. Credentials matter if you're offering advice to newbies on expediting, but what does it matter as...

Bet you won't risk yours to protect this country. You don't have the courage. That was untrue, uncalled for, and not even kosher! Doug has enough courage to speak up here, knowing that several regular posters will vehemently disagree with his opinions - that takes guts. Mods are supposed to...

I'm not a fan of psychology [particularly Freudian]and I absolutely am not a member of the 'cult of personality'. I never thought 'anyone would be better than Bush', and I don't expect Obama will [or even could] perform miracles. I guarantee that if I saw him in person, I wouldn't be swooning...

Oooo - so your ranting and yelling isn't because it's what you chose, it's because someone made you do it. Okaaaay then. Did you have as much trouble reading that with a straight face as I had typing it?

I'm doin just what y'all are: picking up as much info as possible, then sifting it to form my own opinion - which differs from many others'. I wasn't referring to Freddie or Fannie, [nor defending Pelosi or Frank - they're not my favorite people either] but to the big credit card and banking...

There's a reason for the term "price gouging" as well: a reasonable profit is one thing, but greed is another. We have turned a blind eye to greed for many years, and I think the pendulum is beginning to swing back towards more ethical practices, finally. I've found that my prescription costs...

I think we can all agree on Leo's last statement: abortion should not be used as birth control. [Nor would it need be, if the government didn't prohibit family planning in favor of the unrealistic abstinence only education that has proven so disastrously ineffective. And if humans and birth...

Jeez - less than 6 months after taking on the [arguably] biggest challenge facing any new president, you ask what the man has done?! Well, for starters, he hasn't lost his mind, or his sense of humor, or his resolve to address the tough issues. He's clearly learned that many areas are far too...

My last inspection was 2 wks ago, just north of Laredo, and if the inspector had wanted to see any more, she'd have had to be a GYN. :eek: She looked under the hood, under the truck, inside the box of triangles, and inside the sleeper, too. [No one has ever asked to check the sleeper, and I know...

Looks like I'm in Little Rock for the weekend - anybody around? If not, at least I got the laptop fixed - surfing the net on a cellphone really bites! Takes a whole page to display a tagline.....:(

According to the dictionary, murder is the unlawful killing of a human being. Abortion, being lawful, isn't murder, and calling it such is inflammatory, as well as inaccurate. Ditto for referring to the fetuses as babies - they are not. I've seen them firsthand [as a nurse, not a patient]. The...

. All murder is wrong. So you oppose capital punishment and war, too?

I don't know what a mountainjack is either - but how about we just elect the OP 'King of the mountainjacks' and maybe that'll end it. This time, at least. :rolleyes:

I just pull into WalMart and park - near the outside of the lot, of course. Some have signs, some have security driving around - they're all different, and you just play it by ear. PS If you park in the middle of a flock of RVs that are all parked at right angles to the painted lines, be aware...

And I'm not always a self righteous um....uh... how can I put it.... whatEVER!. We all have our moments, though. Mypie, whatever you do with it is nobody's business - enjoy! :)

Joe: it's good to have you back, and doing well - but what about school? [If you decided it just isn't for you, well, it isn't for me either!] Just wondered.....:)

It's not going to land in Fla, they're drowning in most of the state about now. The Daytona Speedway is a mess! :(

Ditto on the dates - where'd you find them? :confused: Greg's tomatoes sound great, I'd add a bit of feta cheese, though. And I like to add mandarin oranges to salads with dark leafy greens - it really perks them up.

What a nice thought! :)

I have heard of contacts being terminated, and O/O's being called by their carrier regarding posts here, so yeah, it could happen. :(
