ALL governments are in power at the will of those governed. Most people do not understand that. We, in this country, continue to give up our God given power to the government. VERY foolish.

I am confused. When I lived there many of my English friends said that while the Families role was mainly ceremonial the Family/Monarchy "retained" the "right" to take control of the government if they saw fit. Did I misunderstand or were they goofy?

We have a economical class system here. It is, however, NOT fixed. People can move up OR down based on their own abilities. Much of the class system in Europe is based on birthrights or grant only. There is a difference.

Don't forget the "Dingel's" in that mix. Contributions? Many of the problems in the Middle East we face today is due to those "contributions". I have great respect for the English people. Their government is just another government and only out for themselves.

The very idea that a person is somehow worth more, worthy of "special honors" or needs to be paid homage too, just because they were born to a certain family is absurd.

"But now you say, "they don't want to secure it", "it's Barry's fault", "He's responsible for that death", wow......you are becoming a bit unhinged my friend." Nope, no unhinged, just smartin' off, trying to sound like the stupidity that we heard for 8 years was that idiot Bush was in charge...

If it is ON the border our GOVERNMENT SHOULD secure it!! Oh yeah, I forgot, they don't WANT to secure it. It's Barry's fault. He is responsible for that death. He is the nut in charge now, the buck stops with him.

Mine only shows one bar as well. I have not used it out on the road. The shop that put mine in did a bad job. Left the old cable in etc. Won't get anything else done there for sure. Learning this goofy thing ought to be fun. Only a instruction book. No instruction. We will figure it out...

I would go out of my way to AVOID any place that allowed smoking. I cannot stand the STINK on my clothes, it ruins the taste of my food and Mrs. Layoutshooter will have problem breathing. We are FAR more likely to go out if it is a non-smoking place. There should be a fair bit of "offset" with...

LOL!!! Nice one my friend!! Hope you had a blessed Christmas.

Poor Barry, can't even succeed in Fantasy Football!!! :p I see a pattern there!! :D WAIT FOR IT!! WAIT FOR IT!! ;)

We had a DRAFT back then. Drafted, you went in. The "intake system" did not have a choice. They were "sorted out" in Basic Training. The DI WAS wrong. He was NOT teaching survival skills etc. He was just being a Donkey's Behind. He did not like that guy. The guy in question got a "general"...

You got that right!! He got "lit up" pretty bad last night. Could not have happened to a "nicer guy" !!!

There is NOT daily coverage on the "NEWS" so there is NOT daily outrage. If the "NEWS" does not tell people it's going on every day, it's not. It ONLY happens when the "NEWS" tells us it does. Vick is a convicted felon. He is a THUG. I find it hard to believe that his "criminal activities"...

Greg, As I ALWAYS say, every right carries a responsibility. OF COURSE we did not discuss classified information out side of secure areas. We could, and did, talk about public issues. NO interference. Common sense prevailed. Legal order? Do your job, lift that bale, go out on patrol...

They lost MORNING business due to factory shut downs. They saw no loss to the smoking ban, or at least anything that could point to it. I don't know what pro-smokers are doing. If it is being challenged or not. I don't know if it will show up on the next ballot or not. I am just not home...

Yep, and when one of those on vacation gets kidnapped you can bet your booty that the family will be SCREAMING for U.S. action. The way I look at it is if you are stupid enough to go down there right now you get what you deserve. It is not any different than sticking your finger into a light...

We were ALWAYS able to speak up when I was in the military. There were proper times/places and chains in which to do so. We were ENCOURAGED to THINK, not just react. LEGAL orders HAD to be obeyed, ILLEGAL orders were to be fought. What you could NOT do was just run around, smarting off, show...

Same when I was in. I did, ONCE, not follow instructions on a range. We were training on 3 shot bursts and my buddy I an fired single rounds. Saw no need to waste ammo since we "killed" all of our assigned targets. WELL, it DID cost us 50 push ups each and a smile out of our instructor. He...

My niece and her boyfriend own a bar. They tell me they have seen no loss of business due to the smoking ban. He told me his biggest loss is no more factory workers coming in after a night shift for shots and beers. No, the People of Michigan did not vote directly for this. It went through the...
