Re: Terrorist 'pre-crime' detector field tested in United St

Control and paranoia are not unique either to the left (Stalin) or the right (Hitler), but to dictators of all stripes. Indeed, this all sounds quite familiar (KGB, Stasi). Uh, did Russia win?

As for me, a smart-aleck old backwoods hillbilly with an attitude --

Re: ATF and lost paperwork

Update The license and books (well, almost all the books -- some are on backorder) were waiting for us when we returned from our trip! :woohoo We finally had to send copies of the original to Atlanta before they could do anything, so it was April before anything got started. The stuff evidently arr...

Re: What is with our kids these days?

I didn't see it expressed yet (might have missed it): The almost complete loss of a society full of good examples. Concerts, movies, graduations, etc., have been a pain for me (even the symphony as a patron on occasion) for decades now. The line-cutting, the loud conversations, clapping loudly next ...

There's evidently a new definition of "random"

We're baaack! Arrived this morning after a long trip off the continent. Saw the sunset over the Pacific, and the sunrise just before landing in Houston. We had many adventures (no, we never use tour guides -- people always ask us that question). However, some of the more intriguing adventures were d...

Re: TSA Threatens to Shut Down All Texas Air Travel

Side note: Since politics today is all about "bizness," it might be most effective to find out just which businesses and local governments told him to pull the bill. Probably more than just the airlines. Just sayin'....

Ripe pickings for boycotts there.

Re: TSA Threatens to Shut Down All Texas Air Travel

United State Of Texas- Just saying :txflag: I believe it would properly be called The Republic of Texas. :txflag: Forget about it. The online press has already picked up on the purport of this. Texas has no respect now, for real. Everyone will now walk over us, as did the Bradies and TSA. Sorry for...

Just sitting here reading all of the hundreds of new posts regarding legislation and the development and interpretation thereof. Nowhere is there a better description of the integrity of the people who take on the responsibility of the CHL. There have been those who have loudly, falsely and ignorant...

Re: Call to Action--Time is Running Out

Done. Repeated my earlier rationale, and thank them for the passage of the parking lot bills. Also thanked them for their vote (sometimes I am optimistic).

Re: Question about "Parking Lot Bill"

I believe that the interior of one's vehicle should be an extension of one's home and thus should be considered a "bubble" of the vehicle owner's private/personal space. If his "bubble" (vehicle) happens to be inside his employer's "bubble (parking lot), it still does not d...

Long trip

While SSgt kid #2 is stationed there (in a location that's off the continent but still in the US :mrgreen: ), he and his bride have invited us for a vacation. Not ones to pass up a free meal, we'll be there for most of the month (or until they kick us out, which may take about a week). The big fight...
