Isn't there some mention somewhere about it being government's job to 'promote the general welfare'? And aren't people healthier and happier when they find things to laugh and smile about? There's the answer. On a related note, I once saw a construction site with 7 miles of 1 lane - usually...

But the freedom from fear that LOSer desires is not what FDR promised, it's what a police state would be needed to enjoy. And I, for one, don't want that much 'security', thank you. Nuclear weapons didn't exist, but atomic bombs did, and they may as well have been nuclear, for all the...

I don't know much about the Israel/Palestine turf wars, because I can't even keep up with what happens in the US anymore, sigh. What I know is that what is 'right' doesn't change with the times. What changes is the willingness to admit the wrongs. That's how we advance society. [Well, that and...

It's called "creative license" - both of you should look it up, lol. ;)

If you don't have a sense of humor, you don't have any sense at all, lol. If you have any sense, you find out what it costs before commenting on the fiscal responsibility...:rolleyes:

I'm not "fixated" on the fighting, it's what I inferred Tom Brokaw meant, in the context you presented it. And what I admire about the FFs is not the fighting, but the system of government they created, that sought to keep 'fighting' on a verbal level: no bloodshed required. I like that very...

Turtle: the fear LOSer referred to and the fear FDR referred to have been addressed in the same manner: reducing a country's ability to use the nuclear option on a macro scale, and reducing crime on the micro level by employing law enforcement. Both are about as successful as possible: we can...

I do the majority of driving at night, both by customers' needs and my own preference - I HATE rush hour traffic, lol. I do not wear any glasses [except the sun kind] but I notice that headlights are getting much brighter on new cars/trucks. Like the LED billboards & other signs, I think it's a...

Ya know, when doing something just because it's the right thing to do [even fighting, and risking death] is considered "the greatest", that's a really sad comment on our society. We should expect people to do the right thing, shouldn't we? The difference is that the founding fathers didn't have...

IMO, the best way to honor the sacrifices made [and I, for one, have read & continue to read about WW2, and am truly appreciative of the fact that we have never been bombed on a daily basis in our own homes] would be to work for peaceful solutions to disagreements. Killing people is a barbaric...

It's a hard thing to accept, but some questions have no answers. :( What I wonder is why, given all the publicity about the gridlocked roads in Atlanta, so many drivers in NC did the exact same thing this week, and gridlocked every city in the state. People are just nuts, that's all you can say.

I drove for Bolt a few years ago. When I left, they paid what was due, and there were no surprises on either side. I could go back tomorrow, if I wanted, but it just didn't fit for me. They are not in business to rip drivers off, ok? Listening to unsubstantiated chatter is a waste of time...

That happens, who's going to run all the corporations on Wall Street until replacements are found?

1) It matters not how many were or weren't offended, it's trolling if the intent was to offend. 2) Neither of the two victims you referred to as 'animals' were ever found guilty of any crime - and even had they been, their "crimes" in no way merits the description. Had they been sadistic child...

The first two are attainable, the third is doubtful, and the fourth is flat out impossible. "Want", in this context, means food, shelter, medical care [not XBox and iPhone & Air Jordan shoes, lol], but "fear" is a state of mind that's comprised of perception. It can be highly irrational...

What questions did you ask, and what did he say? PS Thanks for doing it!

Last I heard, it still isn't legal to kill someone for "messing with" you - though if Texas has changed that, I wouldn't be totally shocked, I guess.

If "purposely sowing hatred, bigotry, racism, misogyny [we'll wait while you look that one up] ...between others" is trolling, then calling George Zimmerman 'honorable' and Trayvon Martin & the unnamed victim in the attempted trailer break in death 'animals' is Trolling with a capital T.

Clearly in favor of the liberty to make provocative & insinuating comments, and to ignore any request for clarification. Also to ignore unwelcome questions of any kind. Commonly known as "he can dish it out, but he can't take it" kind of personality.

Sometimes, I could swear that "The Honorable George Zimmerman" [gag] has found his new career: ghostwriting for Brisco. It all makes sense now. ;)
