The version I like is the one used by those who train people to carry weapons: do whatever you can to avoid using it.

I could list the Republican equivalents, but that's completely off topic. A right to cause the death of another person ought to be accompanied by good judgement - especially in these times, when so many want to eliminate that right.

I'm thinking that statistics that deem night driving more dangerous are extrapolated from accident records of noncommercial drivers, who are not accustomed to driving at night. It's my preferred time to drive as well - I enjoy the less traffic and noise environment.

Rates fall because there are more bidders/brokers in the process, adding extra layers to claim a slice of the pie. So how does that explain your comment in post 11, about having the free market taken from the industry by all the garbage from DC? It seems to me that it's precisely how the free...

Twice [in his original statement, taken hours after the shooting, and again in the interview with Hannity] he said Martin "put his hands over my nose & mouth" and that caused him to reach for his gun, only Martin beat him to it. :rolleyes: That didn't & couldn't happen, and it's hardly a "minor"...

Wow, Jeanie - haven't seen your truck after dark for awhile, it looks terrific! You know I miss having purple neon lights more than anything. Benny looks very happy too, he is just a sweetheart. :D

I use the plastic bags [Meijer are much better quality, right?] but I save and reuse them as trash bags too. If the bagless thing spreads, I could get used to tucking a couple in my pocket before going into the store. Now I'm envisioning customers with pockets stuffed, looking like shoplifters...

If the officials can find a way to impose stiff prison sentences that don't cost the taxpayers to support the criminals, ok then. ;)

I'm not arguing the verdict, because it's what I expected [the prosecution did not prove Zimmerman guilty] and it's legally correct, but: how can anyone determine Zimmerman's state of mind at the moment he pulled the weapon? The only way to decide is to evaluate his credibility, because his...

Martin's parents had very good reason not to trust the Sanford PD to investigate thoroughly: a case in which a homeless black man was assaulted by the son of a Sanford PD [I think it was a Captain, not 100% sure] and no charges were filed, until someone provided a cellphone video that clearly...

The jury really had no choice, because the prosecution didn't [or couldn't] prove that the sole witness [that would be the defendant] was a liar. I wonder if their verdict would have been different if they knew that Zimmerman's wife is going on trial next, after he allowed [if not encouraged]...

In response to the questions asked, [which reputable carriers will hire someone with a recent felony assault conviction, & which carriers to avoid], my response is: none, and any carrier that would hire you. Drivers with a hair trigger temper [as evidenced by your replies to Paullud & Turtle]...

Pretty "decent" jobs? You did not just say that! Coal miners have one of the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs there are, both in terms of imminent hazards [like the miners who died because the corporation cut corners on safety equipment - you know, the family that practically owns W Va?] but also...

Ditto for the Awesome, and Sprayway for the glass.

Thank you, Professor Turtle. ;) I've never liked Subway [besides the atrocious name, if I want a sammich I can do better myself, or got to Maynard's for a Cuban, because they are delicious] Even before I noticed the "Eat healthy!" stuff is mostly processed lunchmeat, cheese, and sauces. The only...

I didn't need Snopes to debunk the bunk about leg cramps [the one part I didn't have any real knowledge of], because I get leg cramps whenever I drive a lot without benefit of cruise control. Major delays in construction and/or rush hour cause leg cramps, lol. I don't like water, so I compromise...

A couple years ago, my fleet owner told me that two of his S/Ts had been given violations for not having the conspicuity tape: one for the outside top corners of back doors, the other for the bar from which the mudflaps hang. I believe both are required for T/Ts, [the mudflap one to make them...

Because the DOT doesn't care if you can't find a parking spot when it's time to stop, you need to be creative sometimes. WalMart & similiar big box stores [Lowe's, Home Depot], and empty "For Sale" industrial properties are often good for one night. I'm sitting [in the shade!] in one of the...
