    Pain and Anarchy in Haiti

    The last I heard, there seems to be a command structure in place, assignments are taking place and people are making arrangements for equipment to be moved in for the proper disposal of the bodies. The problems I am hearing are not being reported in the media, like the US army stopping aid and...

    Pain and Anarchy in Haiti

    It is a lot different than Katrina, the problems there are too many are trying to help while too many people are in the way making a name for themselves. I really think it comes down to our arrogance and halfa** way of thinking. we assume that just because they are poor, they can't handle it...

    Eating on the Cheap

    Well those are not the ones you need to worry about, it is the ones who do this for fun, a paid vacation or as a supplemental income - That is an actual call to a driver who was telling me that he is doing this just for fun. A lot of the people who are struggling are not the ones who don't...

    The Failure of the Public Sector, the Coming Military Crackdown

    But see these taxes are intertwined into areas that it can't just stop. I never said nor supported the idea that we need to abolish federal taxes, but change the way we handle the collection of them. With that, people who are screaming "the 16th amendment is illegal" to the ones who protest the...

    The Last Straw?

    I think with the presents of Hillary and the former presidents, the people will be in awe of the spectacular dog and pony show and the violence and killing by the gangs will stop. Some of the victims will be hand selected for effect to be part of the staged "executive style" assistance that will...

    APU with all the bells, or roof air with portable genset?

    Well that's good news I think? There are about 120 manufactures in China that make these things by the way. I saw a similar setup a week ago and was impressed at the guy's work. He had the same issues like you have and did what I just suggested with the mounts but he reconstructed all the...

    Eating on the Cheap

    Chef, if it was the case that they didn't work for FedEx, then I would say yep lets all help them but there is something really wrong with the picture as Phil painted it. OVM, well ... um ... never mind ... ;)

    The Failure of the Public Sector, the Coming Military Crackdown

    No Chef it doesn't mean I agree with the other parts of the article. In the last two years we have been hit hard with "Buy Gold" crap and "We got to go back to the Gold Standard" - all of which is not the root of the problems. States have the absolute power to stop this crap, they can enact a...

    RF knows no boundaries and because of that, if the person with the POP doesn't secure the access, then it is not stealing.

    A Way To Help Get Repeat Drunk Drivers Off the Road

    I agree highway, this is BS and shows that they have a right to drive over the safety of the public. If they can't kick a habit while spending a short jail sentence, but can after a program, then to me the incarceration program is failing to be a punishment and deterrent to further bad...

    The Failure of the Public Sector, the Coming Military Crackdown

    The pledge of money means little - the cost of getting that money into the right hands will be at least 10%. Ok here is the real issue with the gold standard. When we were on the gold standard, it meant our dollar was backed by actual gold, which was used as a trading vehicle with few...

    The Last Straw?

    Super, I understand what you are saying but lets be frank about it, we all have animal instincts which are adjusted by our environment and up bringing. These people have lived lives what we can't imagine - our poorest of our poor still have better lives than most of they do. But as an example...

    Eating on the Cheap

    Didn't we have a "serious" discussion a while ago about Phil helping out someone who was living on $10 a day for food? He gave him $100 and so on while the guy was contracted to FedEx - FedEx of all places? $10 a day is good living for some of us.

    Cargo Vans Who Run For More Than One Carrier: An Editorial

    I think many of you are missing some pieces to the puzzle on the van issue. Most of the companies who use vans are not involved with the rate setting unless it is there own customers, there is also the brokerage issue and all the other ways that the money the shipper is providing gets cut up...

    The Failure of the Public Sector, the Coming Military Crackdown

    The part that you should have posted. Dennis, It gets tiring to read this crap, not what you are posting but these people who are so out of touch with reality. We can not go back to a metal standard for our money system, ever. Buying gold does nothing except make the sellers rich and...

    It is a REAL shame.

    My point. So I think it is time that we start with asking an important question - Why are we still dumping money into areas that should have been rebuilt and prospering on their own?

    The Last Straw?

    You know Layout, the problem is not the people but the d*mn media again. Like Katrina, they are looking at the worst people could do and assume that this is a fact while telling us how bad it appears to be. The real issues have to do with aid workers who are not dealing with the looters or...

    It is a REAL shame.

    Can that also be applied to people living in a pit below sea level?
