    Possibly one of less intelligent replies I've seen on here in some time .... perhaps you might be able to respond to her post on the merits, and argue the ideas instead .... that is, if it isn't too much of a stretch for ya ....... :cool:

    What grade would you give?

    What is truly ironic about it is being a country which was founded on, and currently professes a belief in, FREEDOM .... but apparently only if it is our officially-sanctioned and sanitized version of "freedom". Or only that "freedom" that we approve of (which of course, immediately makes it...

    Well I didn't figure that I was attacking you - just trying to engage in a reasoned discussion of the situation. :) Please understand - I am not trying to minimize the concerns you raised in your post - they are real and they are valid. It's just that, as you clearly understand, other...

    NY Tolls ,Taxing in Native American Territory

    There's no restriction on any commerce that occurs within the Indian Nations between anyone - unless you think that "not disturb" and "in the free use and enjoyment thereof" means something entirely different than what I do .... "Article 4. The United States have thus described and...

    Breaking News

    I dunno about permanently lowered rates .... but as long as there is excess capacity in terms of too many trucks chasing too little freight, there will be downward pressure on freight rates - that's just the nature of the free market - supply and demand. It's almost an immutable law of...

    This is kind of funny, if....

    My wife's brother drives an 18 wheeler - a reefer. Living in Springdale, AR he does quite a few Tyson loads. He was up about a week or so ago and we meet him at the TA in Lodi to take him out for dinner. He was pretty upset. Seems he had delivered a load (on time) for, or to, Tysons sometime...

    We,re from the Government and we are here to HELP YOU...

    Only to the extent that we allow it to be so ..... in my experience one rarely arrives at the "should" by adopting the "is" as one's operating policy .... Not quite so obvious - simply because the right to bear arms is a right ... driving a vehicle on a government road (owned in common) is a...

    No ..... let me assure you, you misunderstand - it's not that the government feels the need to protect us from ourselves ..... that's just the ruse .... the PR campaign ..... the big lie ...... just to get you to buy in ...... it's actually that they feel a need to protect themselves from us...
