    Break up of the USA and civil upheavals

    Doug... let's look at the regulations you, as a commercial truckdriver, are required to obey 24 hours everyday. Got that little green rule book in your truck? All DOT regs have the power of law behind them. Do you keep a legit log book? Wear a seatbelt? Obey the speed limit? Obey traffic...

    Break up of the USA and civil upheavals

    Doug... if you bother to look at what I actually wrote, I said we are "approaching an era of soft tyranny." Not quite there, yet. We are trending in that direction... government tells us what to do just about every waking moment of our lives. Even at that, government wants more control...

    Break up of the USA and civil upheavals

    Here's one citizen who fervently hopes Obama's economic and social policies fail. More than that, I really, really hope he doesn't get re-elected. Obama's coming attempts at social engineering will be drastic. No, Obama's success and mine are not related, except to say they are inversely...

    Michael mania is a national embarrassment

    Agreed. Sometimes, I think she uses the fiddle as a prop or security blanket on stage. In concert, Alison comes across as demure, humble. Even shy. Yet, something transformational happens when she begins to sing: no doubt she is in complete command from beginning to end.

    Michael mania is a national embarrassment

    Alison, according to Grammy.com, has accrued 26 Grammy awards. An incredible feat. For me, Alison Krauss's music is perfection personified. I have had the extreme pleasure of attending three of her concerts, two in small venues: it is literally a hair-raising experience. Miss Kraus was a...

    10 minutes WELL spent

    We aren't yet required to view government sanctioned websites to learn what to think or how to think. I generally avoid government sites and their propagandistic content.

    Muhammad Ali vs. Mike Tyson

    I think you're probably correct, NC. The one big weapon in Tyson's arsenal was brute strength measured in ft/lbs delivered to an opponent's jaw. Ali had power, but lots of smarts, ring savvy and finesse. If Ali survived the first round with Tyson, I suspect Ali would have won.

    If the government took all trucks off the road, millions would die from starvation alone.

    Muhammad Ali vs. Mike Tyson

    Ali was incredible. I am struck by how fierce Tyson could be in the ring. I don't have the statistics, but seem to remember Mike Tyson had several first-round knockouts to his credit. Some within the first minute. Tyson was much smaller than Ali, but Tyson had a ferocious bite, according to...

    Colin Powell, racist, idiot, both or ???

    In Obamaland, government is a growth industry. Private sector jobs, as a percentage of the whole, will surely decline.

    Michael mania is a national embarrassment

    Guns'n'Roses were good. Especially like "Sweet Child Of Mine." Like Turtle, I read the old Testament and New Testament through. A couple times. Enjoyed all of it. (except the contradictory parts).

    I fear MrG is alive and well in post#58. Or at least a kindred spirit..... Geez, I was six minutes too late to help.

    Michael mania is a national embarrassment

    Loner... in the spirit of friendship I tell you bringing Biblical scripture to an EO discussion will cause you endless pain. The turkey buzzards from the politically correct crowd are circling over your head as we speak. I'm trying to throw you a lifeline. Don't be baited by those who would...
