    You bet it's HUGE. Well, if it wasn't before, it probably is now, anyway. :D Alas, sadly, he will forever be reduced to being a member of the SBD Club. Gone are the days of, "Pull my finger," and of having to worry about spooking the ducks if he were to let one rrrrrrrrripppp! There's a...

    Right vs. Wrong (Left)

    It's the classic stark difference between conservatism and liberalism. Liberalism is more often about Symbolism over Substance. Conservatism is more often about Substance over Symbolism. That's just the nature of the philosophies, but there are certainly plenty of cases where the opposite, of...

    David Letterman - Prince of Late Night Cowardice

    The Republican Party really ticks me off sometimes. Letterman is a comedian, sometimes the jokes work, sometimes, they don't. Making a joke about a "slutty flight attendant look" is not the same as calling someone slutty. And getting mad about it and claiming that it is the same thing, is no...

    Yeah, and if you want to defeat either, or both, the same methods will have to be used. That's an opinion. Can you not see the basic differences between universal morals that are accepted by nearly everyone in society, regardless of race, religion, economic or other differentiators, and the...

    Late-term abortionist killed

    Hey, that's your argument, not mine. You're the one who hammered away on, "all MEN area created equal," not me. The last two words prove my point. You are so desperate to be right that you are willing to force others to see things from your point of view, whether or not they ascribe to the very...

    It's not specifically mentioned in the Constitution, but it's in there. The right to privacy is a basic human right, an inalienable right, and is thus protected by the 9th Amendment outright... "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage...

    Late-term abortionist killed

    People say that, until someone else starts minding their business. If I started sticking my nose in your business, and you didn't like what I was telling you to do, you'd tell me to mind my own business. Betcha. :D Many morality issues are society wide, they are adopted and accepted by society...

    Sorry, Leo. For one, we can read. We don't need the meaning of the Declaration of Independence interpreted to us. We already know what it means. Second, they say all MEN, not babies, and even boy babies aren't men, so trying to put your desperate literal spin on things won't work, either...

    you think barrys new healthcare system works for you

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Ah, those were the good old days. Now, it's more like... We hold these truths to...

    Clearly, you need to invest in a stack of blank CD/DVD's. You should be able to recover the cost of the software after about 8, maybe 16 burns. After a few more burns and you've recouped the cost of the adapter, as well. :D

    Sleeping arangements

    I once had a short wheelbase Ford E-350 that when loaded with 2 pallets there was no room to sleep. Far too many Friday night pickups for Monday delivery. I used to use one of those blow-up Double-Height Twin mattresses from Walmart, and used a rechargeable Coleman mattress pump to pump it up...

    I'm trying to be kind because it's not yet fully implemented. And because I don't want my lease shredded, stuff into an envelope, and mailed to me. :D

    Re: The Jewish Tax

    Ah, the evil Underwriter's Laboratory Tax. The cost of this tax being passed to the consumer is an abomination of all that is good. Speaking of good, this is another tax that I'm getting tired of paying: And this one. This one's the European Community Tax. Why should I pay for that here in...

    "What happened to the 30 mile radius? I'm soooooooooooooo confused!!!" The Virtual Terminal is a 30 mile radius. Apparently, you have to go within that 30 mile radius to "check in" to be on that board. Each Virtual Terminal is the center of a 120 mile radius of our most regular shippers, so...

    120 mile radius. 120 mile radius. 120 mile radius. Gotta keep up. :D Both in this case. The Romulus board extends out in a perfect mathematical circle for 60 miles in all directions, encompassing Jackson, Toledo, Sandusky, Chatham, Flint, and grossly overlaps the Lansing board's coverage...

    CB Setups

    I have a Wilson 1000 magnetic mount. I removed the passenger seat and put a desk/box/shelving thing in it's place. QC and CB are mounted on the "aisle" side of the box.

    These boards will do that, as they are all, for the most part, within 120 miles of our most regular shippers. But they are far too large, and the 25 miles of the Virtual Terminal itelf is far too small, for the fleet to effectively position itself. The only way these boards will work effectively...

    Supreme Court rejects challenge to "Don't ask. Don't tell."

    This would have opened the door for rank and file soldiers to use the courts to question everything from policy to orders, and would have flushed the entire concept of "chain of command" down the toilet.
