We are at the house, back in service in a few hours.

Not if your hearing loss was the result of employment with the Department of Defense. They REFUSE to recognize their responsibility in this matter. I know, I have been fighting it for a VERY long time. At BEST I MIGHT get SSI, no compensation for the loss. At least when I do lose the rest of my...

No it won't get rid of it and it would only shift the problems around. Just as prohibition did not work and that led to the rum runners etc. Just as high taxes on booze has kept the war between moonshiners and revenuers going on for years. Booze is now legal and taxed. We have now and will...

Maybe in that respect, keep in mind that they might bring cargo vans under D.O.T. soon, logging etc. I don't know what will happen to the license requirements for med cards if they do. He would be better off looking at work outside of driving.

Leo, none of that will mater if he can't pass the D.O.T. I could NOT pass it without hearing aids for the TSA and will NOT be able to soon for my CDL. My hearing is most likely going to do my driving career in before sleep apnea or what other bogus stuff that they throw at us next.

Only if you have a flashlight. :p

Sorry to rain on your parade but part of your D.O.T. physical is a hearing test. It can be done either by a booth test or a spoken test. You are required to pass this hearing test or no medical card. I too am hard of hearing. I will soon reach the point that I will NOT be able to pass that test...

Strikes and Balls were a baseball reference and the touchy feely stuff was that physco babble they tried to teach my in college.

The problem with logic is that most of it makes no sense. :p

That is what I meant by control, some are better than others, no one is perfect. It is likely not possible to reach that ideal, it the in the effort that we succeed. Reason and logic are subject to the beliefs of the individual. One mans logic is another's folly. One mans reason is another's...

That has always been mankinds greatest struggles, to overcome emotion. It is not even possible. If you have no emotion you are not a healthy human. The idea is to control them as much as is reasonable.

I don't like the death penalty for any crime. I have no moral opposition to it but it is not a deterent and mistakes can and have happened. As to drug dealers, I lose little sleep when one of those leeches get wasted. Pot should be legal, that law is stupid. As to other drugs, I have mixed...

I really did not even watch it. I was just acting stupid, much like Tiger Woods. By the way, my mom was Greek Catholic. I was raised Roman Catholic. As to an assault by a member of our military, they are subject to acting out of control as most people. In some cases, if they had been in combat...

Sorry, my fault, I did not make that very clear did I? I was asking you. Not to be a pain, as many often think, but to gain insight into others thought processes. No other reason.

ME? Stir the pot? :eek:

Maybe he received too harsh a pennence in confession? You know how those married priests can be when the wife is on them!! LOL!! :p

I don't suggest that you know me well enough to make that statement. Just in case you were wondering, those who own that store up the road are Iraqi Christians.

By the way, what part of that first piece did you find to be racist? Did you find it to be so? If so, why? I don't see it, but then again, I skipped all that sensitivity training stuff!! So, since I never learning all that silly PC junk, I still go through life calling a horse a cow if I want...

In that sense of important, you are of course, correct. That is NOT what I meant though. As to why we are talking about it, in my case, I have no interest in the football on tv, my truck is ready for the morning and I have a cold and did not have enough time to get a last minute duck hunt in. In...

Maybe so, but they IF this is true they, in combination, were acting in an immoral, irresponsible, out of control way. Being imperfect does NOT excuse acting like "Pigs" in the Bill Clinton definition. Self control is just NOT that hard.
