"The taxing power of the federal government my dear; the taxing power is sufficient for everything that you want or need"

just to answer the question from the topic, not the post - I am trying to figure out if Canada is really necessary? Sorry, I am too bored today. Really, I think NYC can be a pain if you haven't been there before. I have been there a lot of times in the early 80's and it has not changed much...

Oh now the crying starts. The news has been interviewing the workers on strike and one said she does not know what to do, she will have to find another job if the strike continues beyond Friday. While another (GM employee for 31 years) is complaining seeing she has 9 people living with her...

>Broom, buy yourself a copy of "Manifold Destiny" and use the >stove as a wheel chock. And what does the new yorker have to do with cooking other then kindling?

Rachel Ray has nothing on this cook - she should get her own show on the Food Network. >>>>> THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED OR ANIMAL LOVERS <<<<<<<<<< You have been warned so don't complain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RlK0Xd4c2c

I am reading the comments from Lee Bollinger about his reasoning to allow Ahmadinejad to speak at Columbia University in NYC. His comments made while justifying his deplorable actions were “we must allow both sides of an issue to allow open debate, we can not restrict the academic freedomsâ€...

Several death row inmates have been fighting a completion of their sentence so they can live out their time on our dime. Well the problem is that the use of lethal injection is cruel because it is painful but not one person who went through this procedure complained later on. But as I am one...

OK, I thought I was losing my mind.

Did I miss something here, was there an update to the thread at 10:55 on September 25?

Another illistration of not being involved politically. People become complacent and not angry enough to recall them. I brought this point up the other day; why is it when someone is elected at the city level the first thing that they seem to do is change from being fiscally responsible and...

Cheri, you were playing devils advocate, so I had to throw in the class warfare thing in. It is true by the way, people look at what the white collar workforce makes and makes a comparison to what the labor makes and many claim it is unfair. Unfair? I even heard it last night when they were...

You know what the biggest issue for GM is health care - $51 billion worth of unfunded health care for the retirees, so my solution is to just cut them loose completely if it is a big deal that prevents them from competing in the home market BUT it is not the real problem. The overall cost of...

RE: Best Concert you have ever been two OK top thr Oh so many…. Ok….. Hendrix I think Cobo but it could have been Masonic ’69 J Giels Grande Ball room ‘74 Oh yea, The who – some club in Ann arbor around the mid 70’s just before their release of Who by Numbers – loud and disturbing

Tallcal, About your statement; "I still maintain that husband and wife teams that have the right equipment and kiss the proper behind can do well at CC." I am wondering how does one kiss the proper behind when the we are told that there are no favorites within the fleet? Does this mean that...

I got a call just now telling me that if I want to go to a GM plant, I will have to cross a picket line - the UAW has a strike going on. If you remember the '76 strike and live here in the Detroit area, it may be wall to wall coverage of this strike.

"I'm talking about having your head right, and taking pride in what you do." Isn't this the foundation of professionalism?

We were on the Magic, took a real ship tour (which means going places that are truly off limits) through the girl who made the arrangements for the conferences - when you spend $500K for each one, you have a little pull on what you can ask for. I was impressed at the entire operations and...

I can fit 30 something, almost 40 books on one DVD. I have right now about 120 books, but only 45 of them are put in order while the others are just thrown into a directory and not properly tagged. I started to reorganize my audio collection, retagging them correctly and back it up on DVD (dual...

I wouldn't even consider saying a word to someone who inspects my truck unless you are conversing with them and they appear to be pleasant about what they are doing. I have run into some who are so arrogant that even asking them to repeat their instructions gets them rather upset, so the shoe...

Glad you are going to do this, but not to be a party pooper - when I was there for a conference, it was rather disneyised and expensive. Later on my wife and I took a disney cruise which I enjoyed more than my multiple visits to the parks - mainly because the kids were better behaved on the...
