Regarding her use of force, some state's laws specifically permit (not prohibit, more accurately) individuals' use of force against cops who are exceeding their authority, using excessive force, or making a false arrest. Michigan had such a law...until recently. The following is from Pro...

Closest thing to a tip was when I delivered at a customer, and all their in-house trucks were gone, but they needed a trailer pulled to a customer just a couple miles away. He gave me $20 to do it, and then I also got loaded out of there when I don't think I would have otherwise.

If your wife is one of the few remaining "good guys," I'm glad to hear it. Maybe the fact that she's been a cop for 25 years increases the odds that she's really one of the good guys...assuming she is.

They can't, just as they can't take responsibility for their healthcare or lack thereof, the toys they're given or allowed to play with, what they're allowed to watch on TV, the time they go to bed, the adequacy of the clothes they do or don't have, or the degree to which they're supervised...

Schools...oversight for parents... Maybe in Superman's Bizzaro-world. Not in this universe. Children belong to their parents, period. There aren't enough resources on the planet to undo all the bad things done to children or do the good things left undone, and it would be wrong to do it...

As Doug Stanhope says, "...With liberty and justice for all...Must be 18, void where prohibited, some restrictions may apply, not available in all states." This is just another example of what I've been saying, that cops (with some exceptions) are the bad guys now, no better than the Crips or...

A former codriver told me of a former codriver of hers who was addicted to laxatives, as in, she couldn't go without them. So she'd take laxatives at night before bed, then wake up and have to go. I don't know if her urge was sudden and she couldn't make it to the building or if she just...

Likely true. The USAF contracted software developers to create software that allows a user to manage ten separate personas for online surveillance of those posting "the wrong things." So you'll think you're communicating with Joe from San Jose, talking about the latest gummint outrage, and...

Garth would be torture in itself. How about some Judas Priest and AC/DC?

Misunderstood you there. It's the multi-volume version. It's going to take me a while, especially when stuff on the net makes for easier reading, and the type in the book is so dang small.

No such right, just as there's no right to not get cancer or epilepsy or anything else. As PJ O'Rourke says, "There's only one fundamental human right--the right to do as you **** well please. And with it comes the only human responsibility--the responsibility to take the consequences." If...

GOOD FOR HIM!! WE NEED MORE KIDS LIKE HIM WHO THINK FOR THEMSELVES AND TAKE ACTION INSTEAD OF BEING SHEEP! You remember the movie with Morgan Freeman in which he played a principal trying to make changes at a horrible government school to keep local control instead of the system being taken...

Reporting it is a fine thing. By all means, feel free to do so. You get the good citizen award. But if you don't, as long as you don't spend it or dispose of it, you've done nothing wrong. When the bank says, "Hey, we made a mistake, that doesn't belong to you. We have to take it back," you...

Our gummint is known to fly individuals to countries that do have such torture chambers, expressly for the purpose of having them tortured, so they can say, "We don't torture." If you do that, you do torture, just dishonestly and indirectly. In addition, our gummint is known to practice water...

As horrendous as the Chi-comms are, they have a point. Our gummint does things like extraordinary rendition; asset forfeiture when one carries what they consider "too much cash," even when the person stopped is never charged with a crime; torture; punishing doctors who prescribe what they call...

I don't know that it was you personally. But I think you were one of them. When I say that, I'm talking about when I post things about the cops beating people unnecessarily, tasing them, etc., and then the AMEN corner pipes up and says, "The cop should have hit him again! And then shot...

now that we can do without!

You don't, however, have to report it to them, and any interest earned up to the time they catch it and change it belongs to you. It would probably be a bad idea to spend any of it before they catch it, though.

I find that Rain-X or equivalent makes cleanup easier.

Yet, many of you who decry leftist totalitarianism think nothing when it's supposedly a righty ordering you around. Anybody here that's consistent? Not since Rlent "left," so to speak.
