A tax on miles driven might just be a better way to pay for roads. NO gps tracking. NOT a good idea to give government more power to know where we are at. Also 100% of ALL taxes MUST go for roads. NOT to pay for mass transit etc. Mass transit should pay for itself, NO SUBSIDIES!!

It is expensive. I was watching the wheelwrights making spokes for a minute while I was there. True artisans. A pleasure to watch them work.

That is correct and DNR orders should be followed, either way. Doctors should not be allowed, or required, to over ride a DNR order or not resuscitate someone who has no DNR on file. It should NOT be up to the doctor to decide based on "quality of life". Far too much room for abuse. It is up...

They really try but, as all government programs, they are cash strapped. They are even turning away retired vets, not enough money for new patients. So much for honoring a contract, eh?

I go to the VA, my doctor is pretty dog gone good. It is strange for a VA but I have had the same doctor since 2000. That is rare. My dad and nephew have her as well.

You can bet your life, if you want to, that sooner or later politics will come into play. The government will decide your life based on money and political considerations. Government, by it's very nature, always becomes oppressive.

The term "heroic measures" means using more advanced medical skills, beyond CPR although some include CPR, to revive someone who is dying. I don't know how or why that term ever came about. It still boils down to one thing, the government has NO valid role in end of life or medical treatment...

Funny story about that shop. I always try to use local business people where ever I live. I needed some body work on a car I had, so, I went over to that shop, not knowing anything about it, and asked about getting the work done, The owner politely laughed and said that he NEVER works on cars...

LOL!! It must be your diet, thin and grumpy!! :p

Now, now, Leo put that thread up at the request of other members who wanted it. No need for RULES there, just a tad of respect. Are you in a "grouch" this morning? :confused: Where are you by the way?

Power structure? What power structure? Can we use that power to provide free electricity for our members? We don't need a "special banter" section, we already banter all over the place. We are "professional banterers" (that is hard to say, it kinda hurts) As to the sigs, you have it turned...

It IS a good idea and the week long thing sounds good. As to making our "mod jobs" easier, no one should HAVE to remove banter. It is always easier, and better, for everyone to just show a bit of respect for the wishes of others. We don't need rules that need enforced. This one is a no brainer...

Mornin Ken!! :) I just finished my second cup, how about you? Hey, lighten up. It won't hurt to allow those who want this new location only thread to have it. We can banter on everywhere else. Nothing to do with liberal, in fact, being polite is the proper "conservative" thing to do!! So there! :p

I trust NO government, US, Canadian or Russian. Our governments DO NOT trust us and, not only do they ignore what we tell them we want or don't want, they often feel the need to force their ideas on us. There is NO WAY that I believe that 537 people, most of whom are NOT the sharpest tacks in...
