I am in the Avon area. Since the start of this bs very few people seem to be following the stay-at-home orders. Any business that is open appears to be doing just fine. Unfortunately those are all big corporations. Looks like the little guys are being starved out.
Early January I was extremely concerned about the virus. I convinced my immediate family, a few army buddies and a few high school buddies to prepare. By the end of February I was convinced it was a hoax. I still knew once the general public got spooked thatnthe stores would be stripped clean...
It gives me great pleasure to see how much fear of Ron Paul they have this time around. I'm still not ready to place odds on him winning the GOP nomination, but they're getting better every week. Only uneducated, stubborn and evil people will refuse to listen to Ron
I was actually in Brooklyn the day that this happened. I believe the parade was in the neighborhood just south of Bed-Stuy where I was staying. I noticed extra police on all the corners that morning as we were headed to the subway. So I'm guessing Nostrand Avenue must have been on, or close...
The TSA has talked about setting up checkpoints at entrances to places such as shopping malls. As of today I have not read of this going into effect anywhere, but it won't shock me if it does. I do know they've set up flash checkpoints in order to molest passengers not getting on, but getting...

You have my vote. I haven't liked the Colts since they got rid of Marshall Faulk. Got tired of every 3 years starting a new rebuilding process. While I'll admit Manning has been much better than I expected him to be. He's still a choke artist just like he was at Tennessee. I know the Colts...
The only thing the government does well is making itself look necessary through staged acts like this. How many of the broken up terrorist attacks since 9/11 have been planned by federal agents? The answer is every single one of them.
Let's say the official story is true. This is a criminal case and not an act of war. Does the US government invade Canada every time one of their citizens commits a crime on US soil? If the official story is true all the hijackers died during the attacks. So nothing more can be done to them...
The problem with privatization is that those companies almost always start acting as if they're government. Now if we're talking about real privatization and not government handing out a ridiculous contract to a politically connected company I'm all for it.
Let each airline choose how they...
