The BBC is comercial free, it is STATE run televison in every respect. The STATE controls all programing and NEWS AND EDITORIAL content. The is NO decenting voice. Even speeches by the "Opposistion" party, that would be the Re-Bum-Li-Cans here, are subject to government "editing" much like in...

I did not forget, I just thought no one would believe me. The TV tax is to pay for STATE run television, the BBC. You pay a tax PER TV with a higher tax for a color set vs. black and white. At least that is how it was when I lived there. You had to pay the tax even if you only watched the FEW...

Government take over of the economy was and is the plan. The goal was an economy run by the government and for the government. Many say I am scary and ranting but it is 100% about control, rule and oppression. Barry and his ilk want to and will take every step needed to do away with the...

Very funny Rocket, you go to "Coal r Us" Where else? Remember, I only used the coal as an example. That tax applies to EVERY service and EVERY thing that you use or buy in England, Scotland and Wales. EVERY thing!! To see how it would affect you, and it will if adopted, go look up the production...

We were told that right up front when we got our service. It was in our contract. I have no idea when they started doing it but we had it from day one. We started with the service last summer. We have never gone over that, not even close. Layoutshooter

Don't forget, using the coal example, if you heat with coal, as many do in England, you don't buy it by the pound, you buy it by the ton. SOOO at $3 per pound, times 2000 lbs your ton of coal is $6000 dollars. Hope you like it. I don't. IT SUCKS!! Thanks again!! Hey, I got a great idea, all you...

I know, I believe that they blew this election on purpose. Layoutshooter

You guys ain't seen nothin yet when it comes to taxes. This is ONLY the beginning. Now tobacco, no problem, I don't smoke and it is bad for you anyway. Next, booze, no problem, I seldom drink and it is bad for you anyway. Next guns or ammunition, no problem I don't use them and they have no real...

McCain lost because he made no real effort to win. McCain/Palin were facing Obama/Biden. Both McCain and Palin had executive experience at high levels, neither Obama or Biden had any. McCain had extensive military/intelligence back round. Palin had some being in control of the Alaska National...

Never heard that one, wish I was home to check it out. Layoutshooter

OH NO!! Don't give it to the police, give it to me!!! I want it!! I don't have one of what ever it is. NO, not a tax on another tax on guns, not yet a any rate. He has proposed have tax on ammunition. Rumors on the amount of that tax run anywhere for $.05 per round to has high as $1 per rounds...

Hey all you expediters, pay attention to these posts. Mrs. Layoutshooter and I just had a great evening with Jack_Berry. We had dinner and talked for over 2 hours. We should all be looking to meet each other. It is lots of fun!! Layoutshooter

It was a really good analisys of the problem. A bit short to be sure and I did use only terms that laymen would use but a bit of insite to how a threat analisys paper would be written. They used to be fun :), except they were almost always ignored. :mad: Polititions just do not grasp the concept...

OH, ok, I still see the nuke plants, the sole purpose of which is to produce nuke weapons as a threat. Layoutshooter

You are right Inkasana, you said what I was trying to say only better. layoutshooter

Ok, now explain how that was scary. I see a real threat to the United States and several other countries for that matter. That threat is North Korea with an ICBM and nuke tips to put on it. It is know that they are working on the nukes and ANY missle that can launch a satillite into orbit can be...

Good for them. You can bet your boots that we are helping them in the backround. Providing intell etc. I still think it would be better to take them out on the pad, then you knock out the launch pads at the same time. Might as will take out the nuke plants at the same time. Layoutshooter

I had not heard that Greg. I do know that they are looking to move, maybe to TN was one rumor I heard. There are really a couple of reasons, all related to liberal politics. The unions are killing them. Example: We had a 9AM pick up there the other day. We could not get loaded until after 11am...

It is a very plausible theroy, except for one glaring fact. Liberals can't think like that!!! The idea that anyone would make money and get ahead is forgien to thier thinking!! Then to be able to make that leap well, that is really going to far. Look at it this way, Colt manufacturing is in CT...

Good for her. There seems to be stiring in the freight bucket. With any luck the trend will continue. As to owner/recruiters in July, don't know for sure but I would be willing to bet on it. Layoutshooter
