    20 truck pile up on the Ohio Turnpike video

    I'd keep an ear on the radio first, Ohio was advising drivers to stay off ALL roads, because the plows couldn't keep up & the wind was making it dangerous. Looks like one of those times when it is smarter to park than detour. This winter was the worst I can remember - sure hope it's about...

    Banning guns part of medicine

    Weak people repeat the same cliches, sound bites, and propaganda over and over and over. Being incapable of original thought, it's all they know.

    Gay discrimination

    Infertile people and those who choose not to reproduce are a threat to the survival of the species too - should we treat them as such? There go the priests and nuns......

    Insurance companies control health care - are they generally socialist? :confused:

    HOS help

    I'm not sure if it's different for teams, I'm assuming each logs separately, just as a solo logs. So, this is how it works: When you take the first sleeper break [must be 8 hours], you subtract the hours already driven from 11 [ie: drove 5, subtract from 11= 6]. After the 8 hrs in sleeper, you...

    Banning guns part of medicine

    Is the typo ['puppet', rather than 'pulpit'] his, or yours? :p Either way, it's hilarious, and a 'bully puppet' is exactly what the Surgeon General is supposed to be: our Official Nag. Bullying people is practically the Job Description - until we all eat healthy, exercise enough, sleep enough...

    Gay discrimination

    You say they are seen as 'adversarial by the majority', but that's not the case - or if it is, the majority accept the reasons for being adversarial as justified, because the majority of Americans support the right of gays to marry. And the numbers are higher among the younger [18-35] people...

    Gay discrimination

    And then there's this: Pew: 61 percent of young Republicans favor legalizing same-sex marriage ? LGBTQ Nation The future must look scary to the hetero WASPS, who have reigned supreme for soooo long...

    Gay discrimination

    As I said already, the reason people will [and already are] accept gays is because the gays are not willing to pretend to be hetero any more. People are forced to deal with what is no longer an abstract subject for gossip, speculation, titillation - it's their loved ones who are gay, and that...

    March... Can the cold weather be done now please?

    I didn't used to be obsessive about knowing the weather before accepting loads, but the past few months have added that metric to the equation. A 'glutton for punishment' has never been high on my list of what I want to be when I grow up, lol. ;)

    Gay discrimination

    You say that 'most' gays aren't religious - fine, but that means some are, and why shouldn't they want to be married in a religious ceremony? And for those who aren't, well, hetero people who aren't can still get married in church, I've seen them do it - so why not gays? I agree that the...

    Gay discrimination

    I think gays will be accepted and embraced by society as normal, eventually, because they aren't trying to hide it anymore. They're no longer pretending to be hetero, and if their family & friends can't accept them, that's too bad. But the funny thing is that nearly all their families and...

    Gay discrimination

    Ok, you are probably correct that Antonio didn't separate the 'open to the public' part of his business from the private client list, as savvy service providers of an upscale nature [hairdressers, personal concierges, interior decorators, fitness coaches, event planners etc] do, if they run both...

    Just another film clip in rememberance

    Our society was a lot of things we're not anymore. Living things [and societies qualify] change. It's either that, or entropy.

    Just another film clip in rememberance

    "Officials had originally shrugged it off as a case of mistaken identity". And they fully expect to be let off the hook, right? Because they always are, right? SMH.

    Gay discrimination

    Neither are blacks. Normal, maybe, but accepted and embraced? Not so far, they're not. None of the minority groups are, including women, who aren't a minority, but get treated as 'less than equal' all the time. That it happens doesn't make it right. We'll never eliminate crime, should we stop...

    Gay discrimination

    You really think the Governor of NM was a 'walk in' client? You suppose you or I could get an appointment with this [or any] exclusive hairdresser, just for the asking? I have a nephew who is an upscale hair colorist, [also gay as a bowl of daisies!] and he wouldn't do my hair, because I'm not...

    So Much for Legal Immigration

    I won't say that facts & figures presented by the Center for Immigration Studies may be biased, but I will say they are so full of confusing jargon, acronyms and explanations of technicalities that it's impossible to make any sense of it. It reads like one of those sucker bets, where you try to...
