    Note to newbies about guns in truck !

    Greg, yes, the last one is important, and all of them must to taken together as a whole for them to mean much, yet still, the last one or not, "...shall not be infringed," is pretty straightforward under any circumstances. True enough, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights it contains are...

    The General

    Schwarzkopf is apparently a one-trick pony. When asked "in a recent interview" (circa 2001) about bin Laden, he said, "It's God's responsibility to judge Osama bin Laden. It is our responsibility to arrange the meeting." When asked "in a recent interview" (circa 2006) about the violence...

    NPR Fires Juan Williams For Muslim Comment

    You have to be your own voice of reason. And here's why: News organizations look at leak with different eyes, the same exact news story being presented in slightly, and some not so slightly, different ways. For example, when you read a line that says, "The story these documents tell is ugly...

    Short or Extended Sprinter?

    The extended Sprinter afford the best of both worlds in the compromise arena of which LBD spoke. The revenue potential between hauling two skids and three skids is minimal. You may get more loads hauling three skids, but they rarely pay more. Plus, it's quite a tradeoff when you have three skids...

    Some tidbits presented to the ATA Conference

    CSA 2010 is about making carriers with a history of safety violations clean up their act. You see it all the time, a big truck gets into an accident and soon thereafter it comes out that the driver, the truck or the carrier has a history of violations to the point where the violations are a...

    Power Deck for Sprinters

    In the video, on the right hand side of the screen, Dude's really taking his good ol' sweet time with that chain. Does it take that long for everyone (other than me)? Plus, the first pallet that he had to drag out of there should have already been at the rear of the van, anyway, or at least far...

    Wife beating ok in New Jersey

    The biggest part of the problems is that Christians, Evangelicals in particular, think the First Amendment guarantees an audience, where they can proselytize to whomever they want and whenever they want, and those who are being proselytized to have to listen to it whether they want to hear it or...

    Leniency kills

    Yeah, I read it the first time. Understood it, too. Sure, there are exceptions to everything, and there are some who will not be deterred by anything under any circumstances. But my original statement nonetheless still stands in that swift, public executions used to be a deterrent. To deter...

    I never said it was all about me. You asked a question, and I answered it, and I answered it in the context of your question. There is no way any intelligent person can read the question, then my response, and think that I think it's all about me. Good grief. Duh, the argument was stated in the...

    The title of this thread, which is a blatant lie, is clear evidence of that.

    Are you an employee?

    Other than for treatment under Worker's Compensation, I'm not sure even an employer can dictate which physician you must see, for a physical or anything else. You may choose to see a company doctor if you wish, but you can choose your own doctor. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act...

    Mayan Calender Doesn't Actually End in 2012

    Every calendar I know of ends one day or another. Then you got to make another one. The Mayan calendar is no different. I've got a Hooters 2010 calendar. It ends on December 31, 2010. There ya go.

    First of all, yes, the crimes I mentioned are relevant to the stories in this thread. (Robberies, rapes, murders, assaults) The subject of the thread has a history of all of the above. But what unites them even if he didn't is they are all violent crimes, which is what drops historically after a...

    I'm also using Beautiful Widgets. I use the stock "Power Control" widget for most of those, but I also have some Multicon icons loaded with Beautiful Widgets. The Beautiful Widgets Home and Smaller Home is what I got it for. :) Well, here's an article from Wired with pretty charts that are...

    Leniency kills

    Well, you can be afraid all you want, but in the past when we had swift, public executions in this country, including the Gary Gilmore firing squad, the statistics on violent crimes fell through the basement for weeks or months after each execution. This isn't mere conjecture and up for debate...
