    Does this add up?

    Quote feature still not working... As much as I hate the idea of people on the dole/unemployment when they could be working (heck, I hate the idea that "the dole" exists at all), it's the only reason we don't have bread and soup lines and tramps wandering the country with no place to go. On my...

    Does this add up?

    Hmmmmm....the quote function on the android app isn't working. About rates only Bill Gates could afford, I'm guessing the same is said about us when customers hear what it's going to cost to move their freight. "Wait, you want me to pay you $1.40 for every mile between here and California?" I...

    Things that need another notch

    Headlights. Even brighter brights, like a 3rd setting. My belt. Sometimes, anyway. Most importantly, air conditioning. Surely, someone can think of a way to make air conditioning a little more efficient, right? God, I hate summer...is it over yet?

    Rethinking 9/11, and other rants

    More like the "We've Got You Where We Want You Act" Or the "So Much For The Bill Of Rights Act." It's not just that the loss of liberty is unnecessary, it's that it CAN'T EXIST under our form of government. In America, our forefathers carved out in the Constitution the things that government...

    It's more likely the unions who would prevent that change. Union extortion depends on the government forcing employers to treat them as a group.

    Lane Closed Ahead

    Nope. They're people who wish the selfish people would realize that the sooner everybody is in one line, the faster we'll ALL get through the constriction. It seems counter-intuitive to some, but it just takes an understanding of human nature; no, we're not all going to merge orderly and without...

    You're doing it again--trying to get special status in society for having served in the military. Just stop it. You're due no special status for having been in the military. Some recognition on Veterans Day, maybe, but certainly no job preference. You complain because somebody from one group...

    It wouldn't be the same as Washington national politics at all, in which different factions are trying to elect 535 legislators who will appoint who-knows-how-many bureaucrats. This is a matter of electing ONE executive. If he tolerates corruption or police brutality, he's not going to be...

    The union, for one. Notice how the union guy defended the rogue cop by calling it an isolated incident, when, in fact, this is the 16th or 17th such IA investigation on this tyrant, and he's had however many complaints in addition to that. Shouldn't the union rep have said, "No way am I making...

    Inverter / watts question

    Found that our the hard way, using a 300 watt inverter through a cigarette lighter socket to charge/power a laptop. Fried the socket. The engine compartment on a Chevy van is a tight place. I'm finding it hard to work under there. Is there a way to hardwire an inverter into the electronics...

    Georgia video row over Andrew DeYoung execution

    ttruck, I'm asking you very sincerely, without any sarcasm or malice at all, and everyone else who posts stream-of-consciousness style, to PLEASE use appropriate punctuation. Your posts are very difficult to read. I slugged through _All Quiet On the Western Front_ in high school; didn't...

    This just in...turns out the abusive cop in question, a former marine who confirms my contention that ex-military members have a tendency to view civilian life as a continuation of military life and see themselves as drill instructors and civilians as recruits, make horrible cops, has been the...

    A big improvement would be to abolish the municipal police model and replace every police department with sheriff's departments run by elected sheriffs. That's not a complete fix, seeing as another wall has to be erected between all local law enforcement and Washington, but it would be a big...

    One question routinely asked of potential jurors is if they will give a cop's testimony greater weight than that of another citizen, to automatically assume the cop is telling the truth. If they say no, buh-bye! So juries are routinely stacked with jurors who will give the government's case...

    On the debt ceiling talks

    Anybody ever take a close look at the math? $3 trillion a year for the military, social security, and medicare. Ignoring for a moment that the last two are theft and should be abolished, it's obvious that our economy can't sustain this spending. The only honorable man I'm the District of...

    Ok, here's something good about cops: saw one the other day, and I didn't see him tase anyone unjustifiably, he didn't scream at anyone or otherwise abuse anyone. What should I do, give him a cookie? It's like that Chris Rock routine in which he mocks individuals from certain segments of...

    Gop caves again

    Passing the McConnell travesty isn't the way to go, just because you can't see how you can get a better deal passed. If you can't get a good deal passed, you pass nothing. Anything less than $1.5 trillion in cuts THIS BUDGET is unacceptable.

    Gop caves again

    Apparently the system won't let me use GOP in the subject line, changing it to Gop.
