    Babies or tissue?

    Good grief. Show me one US Fish and Wildlife law that protects both the hatched and the unhatched without mentioning both. If there is no distinction, there would be no need to mention both, as just one or the other is fine. In other words, they do, in fact, make a distinction between them. The...

    Babies or tissue?

    I'll give you mine, if you like. I think abortion is an abomination, an abhorrent affront to the most precious thing in the entire universe. But I also think forcing someone to do something against their will is a really close second. I don't believe that certain people should have the right to...

    Babies or tissue?

    Are you trying to say that US Fish and Wildlife laws make no distinction whatsoever between hatched and unhatched eggs, because they think there is no difference? The fact that unhatched eggs are protected means there is a distinction between hatched and unhatched. The fact that something is...

    Veterans turned away?

    Young veterans and non-veterans can't visit the memorial, either. There are lots and lots of federal attractions that are closed today. All sites worldwide under the control of the American Battle Monuments Commission are also closed. 401 National Parks across the nation are closed. All museums...

    Babies or tissue?

    Yes, that certainly would change everything I wrote. But that's not the question. "Is the unborn child a tap dancer?" would also change everything I wrote. I can think of several hundred questions that all would change what I wrote. They would, of course, change entirely the context of what I...

    Babies or tissue?

    I like how we've now reduced women to mere objects, property, nothing more. Property doesn't need to be consulted about where it's put, what is extracted from it or forced into it. Property has no voice and cannot shape policy or choices. Property can be moved, disregarded, discarded...

    Carrier Settlement Structure Preference

    Being in a Sprinter, my nod would go to any of the available options in the poll, and I'd be giddy giddy happy with any of them.

    Babies or tissue?

    Prohibiting abortion says exactly the same thing. You plainly state that it's not your "life to make that choice about John Doe or Jane Smith," but somehow think it is, in fact, your life to make the same exact choice for the woman who is pregnant. You say, "It's not the woman's life to say it...

    Obama lied?

    Correct, since Obama lifted the ceiling for which insurance companies could raise their premiums, and he lied about being able to keep your current plan. Before Obamacare, insurance companies were highly restricted on how much and how often they could raise premiums, but in exchange for the...

    Babies or tissue?

    Still trying to unload that bridge you bought, I see.

    Rafael T. Cruz, son of a Cuban who fought for and with Fidel Castro in the revolution

    Re: Rafael T. Cruz, son of a Cuban who fought for and with Fidel Castro in the revolu I'm not a radical, nor right wing, nor a nutjob. Nevertheless, Obama is a Marxist by any criteria you choose. How often have we heard from Obama's lips, "The rich aren't paying their fair share"? Yet, the...

    Eubanks v. Panther II Transportation Inc.

    That's exactly it. You can certainly opt out and go after them separately, but you have to have your own exhibits, your own proof, otherwise you're gonna get squat.

    Sprinter 2500 vs 3500

    The only thing you need to know is the number of inches between the wheel wells - how wide of a pallet can you fit in there. It needs to be at least 48 inches.

    Speeding Cops

    Yes. Like I said, that which is necessary is legal. Speed limits and other traffic laws on motor vehicles do not apply to any vehicle on an occasion when it is being used for fire, ambulance, police or other emergency purposes, if the observance of that law would be likely to hinder the use of...

    Speeding Cops

    The legality of "that which is necessary is legal" applies to cops and civilians, sirens or not. The legality of admitting to the police in writing that you broke the law is just as certain.

    Eubanks v. Panther II Transportation Inc.

    That's probably close to what he lost in just one year of non-payments of stuff he should have been paid.

    Eubanks v. Panther II Transportation Inc.

    In the court papers it lists specific examples of the wrongdoing and references Exhibits to prove it. The Exhibits are actual customer bills and settlement sheets that show customers were billed for certain things and then those charges were not paid to the driver. I had more than one BOL...

When you click the "Report" button you will get a PDF containing all of the details, including the...

    Espar Heater - 20,000 Hours and Counting

    When it's really cold, 25 degrees or colder, the van's heater can't really keep the entire van warm. The van's heater will certainly keep my feet warm, and mostly me, but nothing behind me. I also will rarely drive wearing a coat, or even a light jacket. On fan-only mode it doesn't bring in any...
