    Really?

    What you day is true, if the government doesn't do it. Remember, our Founding Fathers went so far as to admit that protecting rights is the reason governments are founded among men. So, just like with the local government, who may our may not dispense justice when you're victimized by a common...

    Really?

    However, rights are guaranteed (no, not created) by the Bill of Rights to the federal constitution, including the right that no one may be deprived of their life without due process, which a baby murdered via prenatal infanticide is denied. Now, if your state was denying various rights--take...

    Really?

    Abortion isn't and can never be legal. It's only been decriminalized. Murder can never be legal. And Daniels is a horrendous statist. He backed the REAL ID Act, to the point that Indiana became an early adopter. He initially backed a bill that would have converted county sheriffs to appointees...

    Load Checks evry 150 miles?

    Consider the seal a "no-pest strip." Not that it absolutely prevents the DOT from looking, but not having a seal lowers the bar on looking. They may not really have much of a reason to look inside, but if it's not sealed, what the heck, why not? But if there's a seal and it means their actions...

    Questions about picking the right teammate

    You need to find out how long the other person wants to stay out, limitations in their abilities, if their affinity for bathing matches yours, if they do or don't want to go to Canada or NYC, if they plan to always run legal or not, how hard they want to run, their drug/alcohol/gambling/lot...

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    It was two things: the militarization of the cops that started with the war on drugs, and the advent of the internet that reveals all the brutality that we had not known about before. It's a quote I read somewhere a few days ago. It probably is more like the 10/80/10.

    Medical bill paid with pennies

    If it IS just a matter of him paying in pennies and he's fined, I hope he pays the fine in pennies.

    Poll finds Americans angry about pretty much everything

    The creators of South Park had a theory on people who are always angry. People who are always angry probably don't want to know what it was. And the honestly-calculated unemployment rate is higher than most of the Great Depression.

    Rooting a droid

    That was a tremendously thorough reply. If the mobile app allowed it, if certainly "like" it or add to your rep, or whatever it's called. That was a far more thorough treatment than I was expecting. Now I've got to go back and re-read it a couple times to understand it.

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    Well, at least I've found one instance in which you won't say we should lick their badges and bend over and grab our ankles. How about the rest of the D12?

    Rooting a droid

    Ok, those of you who have rooted your droid, I have some questions. The phone store guy told me that rooting isn't a one-step process but a continuing process. If you don't keep up with it, you can brick your phone. I had just gotten it and wasn't up to speed with it as it is, so I wasn't...

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    I can't wait to hear the D12 defend this. As usual, the 90% of bad cops give the other 10% a bad name.

    Economics E.O Style

    1) it's OUR country and they are our employees; 2) the economy isn't something to be managed. The economy is the collective decisions of people who spend their money on what seems best to them. ANY tinkering with it inescapably leads to disaster; 3) most importantly, bring elected doesn't...

    Economics E.O Style

    Those economists were on the show because they can be relied upon to spout acceptable propaganda. If they didn't spout the party line, they wouldn't have been invited.

    Economics E.O Style

    Not only that, but one of the biggest factors holding back greater employment is the presence of a crazy man in the White House. CEOs don't know what this crazy leftist is apt to do next. Nothing is off the table when you're as far left as Obama. No telling what he could do, so nobody's willing...

    My lord tons of repo straights

    I've been trying to come up with a sensitive way to say that half of the CVs on the road have to go home and park 'em. I don't care who they are; y'all can work that out among yourselves.

    Oh Geez NY here we go again

    I haven't seen it, but I hear it's not a pic that you'd WANT to be thought of as yours, as in unflattering. I'm surprised we haven't had jokes linking Weiner with Favre.

    Oh Geez NY here we go again

    And it's probably not even real.

    IPhone or Droid

    But none of that is exclusive to the iphone. You can do that on several platforms.

    Van fuel pumps

    Is it a Chevy? A guy who had a Chevy told me to expect it to go out earlier than expected. He actually cut a hole in the floor of the van above the fuel pump to access it from the inside, and he carries a spare with him. If it goes, he pulls over and changes it himself.
