    Frost laws

    Does anyone know of a map that shows the streets/roads under frost law restrictions? I tried the Michigan .gov site, they have lists of them, if you click on the county, which is great if you're local, but doesn't help if you don't know where they are. [Aside: why do road signs also assume you...

    Rightwing on the defensive in final week of Israeli election campaign

    Judging by his Facebook posts/feed, he has little interest in politics, or driving. He is immersed in several other ventures that satisfy him, instead. And for the record, I miss his input too.

    Two Ferguson, MO Policemen Ambushed: Anyone Surprised?

    Another simple truth that isn't acknowledged: all the teaching in the world won't matter when one is overcome by panic. PS Compliance with lawful orders didn't do much for Rosa Parks. I, for one, am glad she finally refused to comply with lawful orders.

    Over night in Cadiz, KY

    I don't think "the media" really cares much about what we believe, they care about getting us to buy their paper/magazine, watch their program/advertising, click on their sites, IOW: give them the statistics to justify charging advertisers. Or to increase the rates charged. People helping...

    Two Ferguson, MO Policemen Ambushed: Anyone Surprised?

    Because after all, compliance is the goal - when everyone complies, it will all be good.

    Stupid Is As Stupid Does and Another Media Feeding Frenzy is Under Way

    I have to agree with Turtle: I deplore what they said [sang, actually], but I too, would defend their right to say it, because : free speech. Which also protects the rights of those who would respond with whatever they feel appropriate. The racism, excessive drinking, rape culture, 'hazing' -...

    Two Ferguson, MO Policemen Ambushed: Anyone Surprised?

    I find it very telling that Barkley doesn't see racist emails [and jokes, no doubt] as being racist if one simply forwards them to others. "Hey, I'm not racist - I didn't write that joke! I merely liked it enough to pass it along to friends/colleagues who could also enjoy it." Some people...

    New Husband and wife Team

    Welcome! I can't offer any advice that you're looking for, [I'm not with FedEx, or a team], but I can offer some that you weren't: duplicate posts in different forums is not a good idea. Responses get divided between them, and any conversation that ensues is likely to be, um, schizophrenic, kind...

    Israeli vs US leadership

    It will be interesting to watch the lack of meaningful consequences for the Senators' act of treason. Depressing, but interesting.

    Evil has a face - ok, two of them

    The majority of Americans don't want their intelligence insulted by applying Biblical admonitions to our laws. What you "believe" [ie: sexual "perversion'] is your business, but the government belongs to us all.

    Evil has a face - ok, two of them

    It's beyond scary that people who are extremely into the gun culture have such a [distorted] poor opinion of their fellow man, in general.

    Evil has a face - ok, two of them

    That "Democrats offer voters something for nothing" bs is getting old already. Elliot County voters [like everywhere else] are not looking for handouts - or, they wouldn't be, if there were jobs they could get that would afford them self sufficiency. If education would improve their prospects...

    Evil has a face - ok, two of them

    The reason I see evil in the K Bros is how far above & beyond they have gone & are going to influence elections and education. Of course both sides do it, but making it more difficult to vote is far worse a transgression than throwing money into the races. It's worse, because tilting a candidate...

    Evil has a face - ok, two of them

    That Koch also donates to other causes does not impress me - they can afford to donate to all kinds of things. Most of which, like the hospital in the link above, repay the favor with public recognition. The attempts to "reduce voter fraud" are transparent attempts to influence elections...

    It's transparent...

    I agree that Warren would be a far stronger candidate than Clinton, and that the R side has no one who inspires people as Warren does. She says she's not running, but maybe the number of people hoping to change her mind will succeed. I'm in the ABC group: Anyone But Clinton. ;)

    Easier to buy guns

    There's a lot he's done that I don't like, but he can not do what he wants. He may not do what the Republicans or conservatives want, but that's not the same as doing what he wants, regardless of what the people want. Like it or not, most people do not agree with the far right agenda: cut taxes...

    Murder for trading cards

    People have every right to say whatever they wish, but when it comes time for any woman to make the choice, what others say is irrelevant - except her doctor, and the other person who caused the pregnancy. If he is around, of course, as some of those men cannot be relied upon to do anything but...

    Easier to buy guns

    Unless you can point to anything Obama said that indicates he expects any gun control legislation to "stop the violence and heal the neighborhood", you are putting words in his mouth - again. His larger point is that there has to be an effort made to keep guns out of the hands of those who...

    Easier to buy guns

    Saying it's easier to buy guns doesn't mean it's hard to buy books or vegetables, you know - just that it's easier to buy guns. He certainly did not say the residents don't behave well or respect shopkeepers, or that ordinary items aren't available for sale. That's entirely in your own head...
