I usually just want the government as far out of my life as possible. We have gotten so far off base, it just isn't funny anymore. I just really would like the county to work the way it was intended, as in how Jefferson intended. Call me a "Classical Liberal", or...

Although its always fun to "hate" UofM football, everything I've heard about Carr off the field has always been positive. His players respected him. (plus he can't be all bad, he's one of my fraternity brothers - Kappa Sigma) I agree, Rodriguez doesn't fit in with the type of coach you would...

Actually, you're right. In an ideal season, both teams would enter The Game undefeated. So much better crushing hopes and dreams when it actually means something! :eek: I actually openly cheer for Michigan two times a year (well once a year for the last two years ;)) When they play Notre Dame...

No Layout, it's still fun anytime the Buckeyes beat the team up north!:D

I would certainly agree that a big part of the problem are the unions. (We do not have one where I work:D, if we did, I would be elsewhere.) There is a mentality within the educational community that only they have the "right answers". This filters down from the professors at the institutions...

I work in education (not as an educator) and I am just amazed at what passes for "teaching" these days. Educators have over the years developed involved, complicated methods and strategies for teaching every subject out there. Unfortunately, that almost invariably refuse to attack the problem...

I-O!!! <---- Go Bucks!!!

Weak. That's like listing my accomplishments for the morning: 1. Thought about getting up. 2. Got up. 3. Planned to eat breakfast sometime this morning. 4. Instituted the eat breakfast sometime this morning plan. 5. Evaluated need to visit the bathroom. 6. Proceeded to put into...

Well needless to say, that just stinks! I hate it when they mess with tradition. Wait till you see the OSU uniforms Saturday.:mad: (BUTT ugly to be kind.) White helmets, no buckeye leaves either. Crappy shoes. Yuck! Say they are "honoring" the 1954 National Championship Team. (More like lining...

Thank you for the explanation, that does clarify several points. I've always felt I have been able to separate (at least in my mind) my feelings from my mothers. I suspect your evaluation probably hits a little closer to the truth, than maybe I would be willing to admit.:o I should have...

24 - 10 if we run 45 - 17 if we were to open it up and pass. (would be surprised if this happens, but in this game who knows.) I'll be enjoying the game with about 150 or so "close" relatives. (My wife's family is huge.) We have been having a "Family Thanksgiving" for about the last 10 years or...

Not really sure how to take that, or if it was directed at me at all. But since I tend to smile and get on with what I was doing, thanks!? :confused: Ok then, what exactly do you feel was the best path for us to have taken? I would argue it was indeed the option that allowed us to end the war...

After viewing the video online here, one word came immediately to mind: Amateur. How many times did he have to bow to the Empress? Reminds me of one of those old fluid-filled toys you used to see that was shaped like a bird and would rock back and forth, eventually dipping its "bill" in a...

OVM , you asked: We didn't have a working atomic bomb before the end of the war in Europe. Would we have used it if we did? Probably not.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. WE did not start the war, but WE did end it. And to the estimated costs of NOT invading Japan? Upwards of 250,000 additional estimated deaths PER MONTH for each month the war continued. Source: Wikipedia So if Japan would have been able to hold on for an...

Yes, I suppose it would have been much better to have waited and invaded in '46. We would have only lost an additional million or so allied military personnel. Wonder how many civilians would have perished during that? I'm guessing at least 100,000 or so. Then again, I've heard the Japanese were...

This literally has made me sick to my stomach. What a slap to the face of those servicemen who fought and died fighting the Japanese Empire, especially coming so soon following Veterans Day. I sure very few of them ever thought they would EVER live see the day when the American President bowed...

Wow, Ace Doran Hauling and Rigging. There is a name I have not heard in a while. My dad was leased to them for a short time back in the late 1970's (If I remember). Mainly hauled wire coils and such. After a bit, he bought his first 40' reefer and started hauling produce out of Fla. Never went...

My first two cars: 69 Camaro, 68 Camaro. Nothing fancy about either of them, but I really do wish I had them now $$$$$

The Roman general (actually Dictator) was Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. In time of war, was put in charge of the armies, defeated his enemies, returned to Rome a hero (basically had absolute power at the time) and promptly resigned to return to his farm. One of my absolute favorite leaders in...
