Yes, the post orifice is called for in the constitution. But the government also gave them a monopoly by outlawing private first-class mail delivery. I don't think the constitution says to do that.

No, I don't. It's illegal for them to offer first class mail delivery. Now it does, sure. Know why? Because (1) it's illegal for them to set up a system for first class mail delivery, so they don't have infrastructure in place to do it; (2) their would-be competition is government-subsidized...

Ah, here come the communists, out of the woodwork.

No, they'd have to have the same requirements to issue a license as all the others. But if they have to compete for customers, then they all have to do it as cheaply, efficiently, and politely as they can. Maybe one agency isn't all that polite, but they're cheap, and people who value that over...

Do they have a legal monopoly? Can anyone who thinks they can do better open up their own licensing agency?

I don't believe that for a second. I think your anti-capitalist views cloud your judgment. BUT...even if it is true, with the public sector, if you don't like the way you're treated, you can tell them to stick it and not do business with them anymore. Can you do that with the public sector...

I worked at a pave at which they were trying to get rid of a problem child but were being cautious because he had medical claims pending. I told the boss to announce that drug tests would start on Monday and they'd never see him again. He replied that if we did that, we'd lose half the fleet.

And I didn't even point out that "public sector" welfare invariably involves theft and lack of either meaningful means-testing fit recipients or reward ("karma" if you must) for "donors.")

Poor people would be better off in the private sector. Agencies that assist single mothers with infants do so because they care about them. Agencies that set up shop to help left-handed lesbian Eskimos have some sort of concern for them, wherever based. Does government have that? You've heard...

But even then, he has to start and stop work in the same location every day, AND punch a time clock. Otherwise the exemption doesn't apply.

Did he come here? He'd better lace up his shoes again. I had a Russian co-driver to whom hazmat laws meant nothing...they're out there.

Re: Carry pieces A commonly-held myth.

The solution is simple: abolish all publicly funded forms of welfare, totally & immediately. Anything else is theft. Any form of social safety net we need & want can be funded and administered by the private sector, who can set their own standards. Maybe in Sean Francisco and Berkeley, they see...

I have to look at the evidence. When someone says a Clinton presidency would result in living happily ever after, I figure they're as evil as could be, because it would take someone evil to approve of the conditions a Clinton presidency would produce. Kind of like a later message in which...

Here's late comic Richard Jeni's take on people on the fringes of both wings. Some profanity. It's a YouTube video. http://tinyurl.com/n6n7vak

Are you the devil? WWATD? What would Andy Taylor do?

What country is this you speak of? This country has had no meaningful opposition for quite some time. Oh, they talk a good game, but everybody knows jelly-spined-Boehner will bend over in the end. WWATD? What would Andy Taylor do?

Union-ism is unethical & immoral at its core, and should be illegal--as currently practiced. Nothing wrong with voluntary collective bargaining, but coercion is another matter. WWATD? What would Andy Taylor do?

Don't think it would be a good idea at this point. One principle is that no one man can destroy the country in even 2 terms. But the problem is that, at the conclusion of the Obammunist's term, we will have had 7 consecutive horrendous administrations. Freedom will not survive 8. Now, if we had...

Cut & paste. Illiteracy in original. *** A UNION MANS DOG *** Four workers were discussing how smart thier dogs were. The first was an engineer, who said his dog could do math calculations. His dog was named "T-Square" and he told him to get some paper and draw a square, a circle, and a...
