    The 99

    This party, you have right, well mostly. The Bill of Rights does place rights above the vote of any majority. This is false. SCOTUS has no power to make law, and neither do they have a constitutional role as the sole or even supreme arbiter of what is or isn't constitutional. That is a power...

    Zane, drivers of trucks that are DOT compliant don't want to attract DOT attention, Drivers of CMVs that aren't DOT compliant want to keep it that way i.e. we don't want any DOT attention. If they don't know we exist, that would be primo. So it's best to not do anything to attract their...

    Cops

    I suppose there's a chance a cop might give you an opportunity to remedy the situation on the spot if you convinced him you could, or give you a fix-it ticket if you were stopped in your home state. But more than likely, you'd get a citation. Since you couldn't proceed legally, maybe you'd even...

    A "Wise Ol Indian Chief" on daylight savings time.

    However, if you take a foot off a part of the blanket that doesn't get used and sew it on where it will, that effectively makes the blanket bigger. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

    I don't think you'd have much of a say in the matter. Some things are worth fighting for. I can't imagine this being one of them. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

    The 99

    Funny, isn't it, how those who quote the extra-constitutional "wall of separation" line and the anti-establishment clause forget about the "free exercise thereof" part? They then object to that exercise. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

    HUH!! I Didnt know that?

    Don't know what a pediphile is. Actually, I do. At least you didn't try to spell it "petiphile," which I've seen. The closest I've come to being arrested is making an illegal right turn on red (didn't see the sign) in 1987. Technically, that's an arrest, but not what we consider being arrested...

    Boss hog.

    I heard a driver say that's not done anymore. He said he needed to replace a set and was told those types of dump valves can't be sold anymore. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

    HUH!! I Didnt know that?

    I've been charged up to $350 before. Sometimes it's a (relatively) legit service, others are outright scams. The deal is, only non-employee private contractors are supposed to lump, though now there are lumping companies that may have employees; I've been out of big trucks for a while so I'm not...

    HUH!! I Didnt know that?

    I'm just saying, the cost is figured in ahead of time, and goes back up the chain. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

    Big Brothers (by the millions?) watching

    Yes, but then Bush came along and stood on Clinton's shoulders, as it were. I don't think Bush would have been so horrible had Clinton not prepared the way. I mean, Clinton opened some eyes as to just how much Americans would tolerate ("Oh, we can assault some religious cult in Texas and then...

    HUH!! I Didnt know that?

    For a short time, I did some wide load escorts (pilot car work). Much of that work is done by wives & friends of the driver. If someone's going to get paid, why not keep the money in-house, right? But I wondered the same as you--where's all this money coming from? Doesn't it eat into a driver's...

    No, it's never been perfect. Man is flawed, fallen. But it's another matter to throw all our principles out the window. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

    Woman attacked at Flying J Alorton Il

    Unfortunately, some states have that requirement, and unbelievably, some say the cop can disarm you if he pleases until he's done with you, even if you're not being detained or are even a suspect. They must push a wheelbarrow in front of them when they walk. -- You know the problem with bad...

    Big Brothers (by the millions?) watching

    No, Bush was far worse than Clinton, who was horrendous enough. But we were far freer under Clinton/Reno than Bush/Ashcroft. You might be looking at it on the basis of what happened behind the scenes in the "intelligence community," but where the rubber meets the road, civil liberties...

    Rooting for The Apocalypse

    Not the one foretold in scripture, which, as a preterist, I will tell you is history, but the financial & geopolitical superstorm that is about to take us somewhere between Mad Max and prehistoric times, brought on by the part of society that believes they are entitled to Other People's Money...
