That's what makes the whole notion of outlawing guns so absurd. True enough, on average, about 66% of murders in the US are committed with guns, but if guns weren't available, as is the case in many countries, those murders would simply be committed with some other weapon. Getting rid of guns...

I'm aware of that Act, I'm just not aware of there the Act exists in the current federal law, except, that Act applied only to the Uniform Militia, not the citizen militia, and it only applied after men had been drafted into the Uniform Militia (severally and respectively be enrolled), and only...

More people are murdered in the kitchen with kitchen knives than with with any other weapon. I carry my trusty...

Link please. Educate me. The above was a requirement in the Colonies, but if firearm ownership requirement is in the US Code, it'll be news to me. Won't be the first time I've learned something new, though. But it does not require firearm ownership, as far as I know. One interesting thing...

It's quite common with some carriers for their cargo vans to haul placarded HAZMAT, and therefor have to log.

The new rules, the changes, they're easy to understand, if taken alone by themselves. But the HOS regulations in total are a joke, and reeks of something that only a bunch of clueless bureaucrats borne of academia could come up with. Nothing. It's retarded, though. What I do and where I do it...

I'm the mayor of my Sprinter. :D

Now that's funny right there. Using "simple" is relation to the HOS rules. Sure, one rule, by itself, it simple. But before it's all said and done there will be exceptions to it, and when you look at the regulations as a whole it's anything but simple. You have to do this, unless you do that...

A source would be nice. But in any event, that should come as quite a shock to many people here, and in other countries, where the perception (and the spoonfed information from the media) is entirely different. If you'd had asked me this afternoon, I would have guessed the US was in the top 10...

They have different names, for one, but they also have different IP addresses, different Internet providers, and different MAC addresses, among a few others things, which make it impossible for them to be the same person.

Lastchance and Lisa are soooo not the same person.

People do that just to yank the chain of those reading EO on the phone. :D

Some of it is fact. There are contracts exactly like that (Panther had one, and maybe still does, with one large customer). But even where those contracts don't exist, if a carrier refuses a bunch of short loads, the customer will look for someone they can count on for all of their loads.

Memory isn't perfect. It was a producer for NPR. Sorry about that. But he also talked about a show for PBS in one of his questions.

Naaaa. You know the process well enough. The 22nd Amendment is pretty clear. The 22nd Amendment was passed by Congress in 1947 and ratified by the proper number of States to become an Amendment in 1951. Before F.D. Roosevelt, largely due to the precedent that George Washington set, few...

The thread got chopped up pretty bad, and all the off-topic posts were moved to another thread. Most of them, anyway. Some were just gone, poof. The OP is lost, so the references to plans for TV and many other things are lost. But you can read the smoldering remains here. It ain't pretty...

Same bill was introduced when Clinton was president. If such a bill were to be passed, and then ratified by the States, no sitting president would be able to benefit from it. Otherwise, it wouldn't stand a chance at ratification.

He doesn't know what a well regulated militia is, either.

One Dramamine and one drink will be about the same as drinking several shots. It usually just makes people very, very drowsy, but in plenty of people it intensifies the effects of alcohol. He was charged with three misdemeanor offenses: disorderly conduct at an airport, being intoxicated and...

Because those numbers didn't come from the government. That chart is an amalgamation of cherry-picked numbers so as to present a very agenda-ized chart. Whoever did that chart assumes that all heart disease, lung cancers, lower respiratory disease, stroke are, all of them, are caused by tobacco...
