I think, Aristotle, that the phrase "traditional American values" is at the heart of the problem. They're changing, and change is always detrimental to some of the people - can't be helped. When the economy was largely agrarian, our 'traditional' values were centered around the family farm, but...

I'd argue the facts of your assertions, except there aren't any. Every word is your opinion.

I don't like illegal immigrants either: we are a nation of laws, and I believe one should begin as one means to continue, [as the Brits put it]. And right now, deportation is at a historical high, though we don't read much about that in the media, do we? Yes, Pilgrim, the Obama administration...

I've considered it. My conclusion is that Caucasian, educated Christians have run the US for all of its' 200 years, so the answer, in a nutshell [which is where a lot of them should have been] is NO.

The issue is potential liability: in case of a lawsuit over an accident caused by [even partially], the carriers need to show that they did everything possible to ensure the drivers they use appeared to be a good risk. CYA.

Drive Axle: snap a photo of a document, email it. The photo looks crisper & clearer than the original!

From the article: For example, the law requires restaurant chains such as Domino’s Pizza to list calorie counts on their in-store menus. The company says it will add thousands of dollars to the overheads of individually owned restaurants, which will be required to make up new menus every...

Pilgrim: of which religion is home schooling an inherent part? Because I don't see where they're prohibited from freely exercising their religion in Germany, myself.

Oh, we can sell our bodies for profit, [ever try to do any work without it?] we just can't sell it for sex. And if we do, it's the women who are criminalized, but not the men. Unless it's gay prostitution. We do have some screwy [bad pun, but it fits,] priorities, sigh.

I think Tom left out "the most" ["to make the most money"], so you're both right. And I too, like some downtime, esp on a weekday, when shopping, laundry, and showers can be done much quicker.

I knew that. In fact, it was the first thing I tried, but dispatch hears "Florida" as "Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, or Iowa". ;)

I wish I could sit tight and wait for warmer weather, or a load to where it is, especially because I have Reynaud's, which makes my immune system shut down circulation to fingers & toes when they get cold [so far it's always come back, lol] and for reasons unknown, it seems to think cold is a...

Yes. Or Eddie - either or both. Thumbup:beer. Or however that goes, lol. :o

You're smarter than me: I delivered this morning near St Louis. Stopped for fuel in WV, and had to use the fuel tank cap to chip the ice away from the headlights. [Didn't break them lol] Roads weren't too bad, but parking lots were a nightmare of ice, and my padlock was frozen, even under the...

Most of which started out looking like the Trailways Bus terminal, with ugly linoleum floors, wobbly tables & mismatched plastic chairs, and a not-very-good cleaning crew. Give respect, get respect. Most people follow that pretty well - the trick is to catch the ones who don't, and evict them. ;)

If that isn't scary enough [and it is!] there's ALEC, writing boilerplate legislation, no studying issues needed - like fast food, order, and it's ready in minutes. Except legislators don't even have to order, they'll deliver it 'on spec'.

Yes, I can, but does the average worker have the same access through their company? I doubt it. And I know for a fact that schools don't inquire whether internet is available before placing programs online, or assigning homework that requires it.

They're not doing it to help people get to see the drive in movies, lol. When states give anything, it's considered an investment, one that will pay off by helping someone become self sufficient. That's a smart way to do it, if it works.

Half those on food stamps are children. Not sure 'gutted' is how I'd phrase it - what I read is that numerous governors requested the change to welfare rules, they wanted more flexibility, because they actually run the programs. If welfare pays more than minimum wage jobs, I'd say that's a...

The article says they're offering it in NH - that doesn't do anything for the other 49 states. [And $150 for a computer may as well be 150 million, when you don't have it.] But the fact is school and jobs often require internet now, and the library is not a good fall back, like it used to be...
