The Volt is too impractical for widespread use. It has severely limited range and cold weather presents real problems for battery-powered cars. Someone needs to tell Obama that fossil fuels are the future. Irony?

OVM... volume will improve if and when the economy improves. Worrying about the little guy posted on Sylectus is wasted energy. The little guy running for multiple carriers has every right to do so if legally compliant. Competition is good. Having worked under contract with large and small...

Sorry to hear your father and uncle passed away at an early age. Are you saying they drove over 5 million miles each? Something doesn't compute.

Just watching the sky go by??? I'm thinking the sky doesn't move. Perhaps you're observing weather phenomena such as clouds. Bring this topic downstairs to The Soapbox where metaphysical conundrums are given their due respect.

Surging fuel prices rattle consumer psychology like nothing else. It's real, it's tangible and it's in our face 24/7 as we pass billboards advertising the cost of fuel. Tens of millions of individual choices not to spend are being made.

We had a staggering amount of gun-related deaths in my home county (Pike County,KY) in the 1960's and 70's. Unbelievable, off-the-charts kinda numbers. It was assumed every male over the age of sixteen had a gun on his person or in his vehicle. The slightest perceived offense could result in...

I like Texas. My wife and I just spent three months living in Eagle Pass as she was on a special work assignment at Fort Duncan Regional Medical Center. Her work there finished just before Christmas and we miss the area. We never did cross into Mexico. No regrets about that. If we ever sold...

Okay. Sorry I couldn't find the right words to shed light on this subject. There's no where else to go with it.

Brother Joseph, you are so far afield I cannot reel you in. Despite your insistence that you have some imaginary right to kill over theft, you do not. This isn't the Old West where cattle-wranglers were hanged on the spot in some act of vigilante justice. Gun ownership does not bestow upon...

In the scenario I gave you, the teenage car thief was outdoors stealing your car. Not a home invasion at all. The right to own property in the United States does not come with a right to legally kill someone over theft of property. We have courts to make you whole if a loss occurs. To...

LOS, are you saying you would kill a teenager who was stealing your car? I think I am not reading you correctly.

Explain, if you would, how you would respond to a teenager stealing a car in your driveway at home. Suppose you look out your bedroom window to see your car slowly being backed out of your drive. Obviously being stolen. For all these protestations about defending your property... do you think...

I notice you have moved from defending your neighbor's property to just your own property. That's a good start. Then, you aren't satisfied with the police response because they didn't stop this alleged burglary from happening. Police are not clairvoyants. Moreover, they cannot be...

Police did handle the situation. What part of that is troubling you?

There is no mention in the article that a neighbor's life was ever in danger. If you shoot an alleged burglar on a neighbor's property, you are doomed. Property crimes of this nature do not equate to a lethal response. Police handled this situation as expected.

The alleged burglar, to my understanding, was confronted by an armed and angry Mr. Fleming while the burglar was on a neighbor's property. It is unclear to me if Mr. Fleming was standing on his own property or his neighbor's. Wouldn't matter much where Fleming was standing since he has no...

Here in the US, we do not execute people for property crimes. Particularly, if you witness a crime on someone else's property. Exceptions are made if you encounter someone breaking into your own home. Even then, you must be inside your home and feel your life is in jeopardy. In some...
