I don't like the word "subsidies" when talking about taxes. There are NO subsidies. All we are doing is allowing them to keep more of what they earn. A "subsidy" would be giving money to an industry or individual who did NOT EARN it. Like welfare. We subsidize those who do not earn it. The...

Oh boy, more "tax credits" for people to complain about. LOL!! Want to fix this problem? First, 100% of what we pay now goes to roads and bridges ONLY!! NO MORE subsidies for mass transit. Mass transit should support it self. If it cannot, it goes away. No free rides, pun intended.

The key thing was in "unprotected" areas. What a joke. It is just part of King Putz 1st campaign. They will just protect everything and SAY that they are allowing drilling.

That would not be a good idea. That would drive up the cost of many services. LOTS of small business people have lower mileage pick up trucks and vans. Everyone should pay the same. Taxing on mpg's is nothing more than social engineering.

What "greedy corporations"? Will this bill not require every mom and pop motel to do this? How will affect THOSE poor working people? Even many chain motels are privately owned. They are NOT owned by that greedy corporation. How much profit is bad? At what point do you make too much money on...

I was NOT talking about the gas tax, I was talking about the phone tax. I don't know what airline tax you are talking about, there are all kinds of taxes/fees imposed on airline tickets. As to the gas tax. The gallon tax may or may not go away if a mileage tax is levied. Again, just how do...

When my house is broken into I will treat who ever that person is as a threat and act accordingly. What that court, or any court says, is of no matter. At ANY time my home is broken into, entered without my permission, by the police without a warrant or by ANYONE I will drop them in their...

Ours has NOT alarmed when loading or unloading. It HAS alarmed as we were going down the road. FOR NO REASON! Doors were shut. Temps were perfect. The doors were sealed and locked. I just assumed that the system has been drinking. There is much about there new "toys" we have that are just not up...

Nope, no fling and there were no haggis, at least that I can remember, which is NOT very much!! LOL!! They were a "PARTY BUNCH" to say the least. No fights, just a LOT of "Happy Drunks"!

No, the booze. I was fishing up in Scotland. I won a couple of days on the River Teviot, near Kelso. I was staying at the Ednam House on River Tweed in Kelso. It is right on the "Junction Pool" one of the most famous salmon holes in the world. It was May, HOT, and I was sleeping through...

You got that right!! I was AMAZED at what a saw in Scotland. Japan for that matter too.

Yeah, I have seen a lot of that sort of thing up there. Down here too for that matter. And in Japan, England, Scotland and Wales too! Seems to be some kind of a world wide trend.

LOL!! I thought ALL Canadians spent a lot of time at the bar!! :D

The "Thought Police" are far too busy running around going after "Hate Criminals".

Are there any current laws on the books in the area she lives in that would NOT allow her to do this? I THOUGHT, don't know for sure, that only a doctor can inject this stuff. Why would anyone want to have this stuff injected for other than purely health reasons? You is what you is. Live...

We have HAZMAT. We could do without it, business wise. It accounts for less that 3% of all of our work each year and does not pay nearly as good as most of our other work. We have it for a couple of reasons. One: we are required by our carrier to have it. Two: It will sometimes get us a load out...

That would be my first thought but I really have NO idea about what harm it may do. One could make the same argument about the damage that contact sports do to kids. Many kids are KILLED every year playing sports. Then you could say that allowing a 16 year old to handle a car is abuse. Putting a...

I have no idea, I have never met him. I can't see that ANY NORMAL person would want to run around looking like a Smurf! :p

Did he turn blue first? :confused:

I think it would be a "sick" person that would do this to a child. I also think that unless it truly affects the health of that child, it is NONE of my business. I could not IMAGINE teaching my kids that "looks" are more important that substance in there lives. Far too many people look at life...
