    Eating on the Cheap

    You can also use any fresh road kill that you find. You do have to get permission from the Game Commission or what ever the state you find yourself in calls it, but hey, there is always a fine choice of different types of meat at the "Road Kill Cafe"!! MMMMM enjoy!!!:p

    The Failure of the Public Sector, the Coming Military Crackdown

    Hey RLENT, I was just poking fun at how people value a metal that is more or less useless just because it is shiny. As to our money, as it becomes more and more worthless, inflation takes over etc it gets closer and closer to monopoly money. As the government just prints more and more to cover...

    The Failure of the Public Sector, the Coming Military Crackdown

    I don't know about the rest of this thing but I believe that gold is grossly over valued. I mean after all, other than being a bit rare and shinny, it is really too soft to be much good for many things. There are some uses in electronics and medical field. If it were not so rare it would make...

    The Last Straw?

    Whatever, those who's lives I saved while running as a volunteer firefighter and EMT hated to see me arrive, they often died before I got there just to avoid having me work on them. Emergency workers are often attacked by those who try to rescue them. Also, keep in mind, these are American...

    The Last Straw?

    No, I fully understand what I meant. It was not a "cold" statement, it was calculated from a standpoint that I used for 20 years. It was from a "protect" our troops standpoint. I don't want to see U.S. troops killed in "another" rescue mission. It has happened in the past, and very well could...

    It is a REAL shame.

    Don't ask me Greg, I would not continue to waste money in a lot of areas. People cause their own problems. Like our cities, dirty, crime infested hell holes. Why? The people like it that way!! If they did not they would put a stop to it. I can remember many moons ago when every grandmom on...

    The Last Straw?

    I am not putting on blame, I understand what is going on there. It is a pressure cooker though. There is great potential for trouble. I know that the U.N. is doing as little as possible, that is what they always do. Our troops should not even be there!! This is not what they are trained to do...

    It is a REAL shame.

    Sure can Greg, same for living in a flood plane, on an earthquake fault in L.A. or under Mt. Hood. It is not if something bad is going to happen those places, but when. It will happen. People make choices, they must accept what happens when the result of the choice bites them. There are far...

    The Last Straw?

    Haiti has been a mess, to say the least, for a very long time. Life there is always a challenge, no work, little income or hope a anything better. Now this. There are reports of looting starting up, not judging people there have nothing to live on, and there is a fear that violence and total...

    Now I understand

    I guess I have just had many different experiences than you have had. I see people stop on the road and help others all the time. I see neighbors help neighbors all the time. I don't see that the government has a role in welfare or charity, however you want to look at those things. They are the...

    Does anyone know a safe hotel in the Raleigh area?

    Good luck to you and Nick, Jenny!! This will be one of those things that you guys look back on with fond memories 30 years from now!! On our honeymoon my wisdom teeth erupted and I had to go find a dentist in the middle of the night. We found one willing to come in, got me some pain pills to...

    Now I understand

    I don't know what it is like to be "asked" to help anymore, the government "forces" me to contribute to charity by "stealing" from me. As to people not giving, you should live where I used too. All volunteer fire and ambulance, people come out in droves to make sandwiches to buy a new truck or...

    Now I understand

    We will learn the answer to that very soon Greg. I do know that when people in here speak about what they believe and are going to do if forced they get jumped on, ridiculed etc. I fear that most, not all, Americans are now just to scared to stand up for themselves and will give into this...

    They finally wised up

    LOL!! I don't think that "accepting" legal load that are offered by my carrier is "stealing" loads.
