This is an exceptionally good discussion on a regrettably tragic incident.
I can't have a fair opinion on this woman's negligence without viewing all of the evidence in context for myself. I have a lot of questions about things like holding parents responsible for a kid's diary entries.
The...
Don't take this the wrong way, I'm no Obama fan. McCain was no prize but he would have done less damage.
Obama didn't give a damn about the outcome but he said he would pass something akin to national health care and he did. He ran on that promise.
In all honesty, the Republicans set the...
My wife might agree with you on that point.
And yes, I did have it wrong. 10 million was the reported margin for the country, not the state.
Nevertheless, my point wasn't the margin but that people knew what he was going to do and still voted for him.
They got what they wanted.
Regardless of all the other arguments, a country cannot have open borders AND a generous social welfare system. That seems self-evident to me (but so does the stupidity of "Defund the Police", "Healthy at Any Weight" and so many other popular ideas".
True enough, but to me the true cause of...
One positive thing I'll say about Obama is; for the most part, he did as president what he said he was going to do during the campaign. People knew what to expect yet he still voted for him. IIRC he won Indiana by 10 million votes.
A corporation's loyalty isn't to its customers; they have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. To the extent maintaining brand loyalty is profitable then that's the correct path. If licensing and off-shoring are more profitable even after it causes a downturn in brand loyalty...
When better gun laws are debated there are often headlines predicting that blood will flow in the streets.
And then, a year later, we see a story buried in the back page that the predictions were wrong.
What bothers me is that the results of new gun laws rarely need to be debated. Simply...
Thanks for the post. I've been interested in starting Kav Maga since I heard about it 20 years ago but there hasn't been instruction near enough to Crawfordsville. At the time there was only one facility in central Indiana.
Regrettably Franklin is still to far for me to make a weekly...
I'm not optimistic. The BOD re-elected him almost unanimously less than two years ago.
The same people will be naming his replacement. I doubt the gravy will stop flowing.
NRA Press Release after the last election:
"LaPierre received almost unanimous support over Lt. Col. Allen West...
Yes, Exactly. I think someday EV's will become more durable, capable, and a better value than ICE. Others may differ but regardless the private sector should fund the change.
The technology will continue to develop. Toyota and Samsung have both promised commercial production of solid-state batteries for EV's by 2027. Solid-state batters are significantly better than Li-ion in almost every way. They promise to change the way people think about EVs and make every...
All good points. Many Americans seem to think that running the process to pick the candidate of a political party is the government's responsibility. It's not. Parties could use whatever method they choose. They could decide to poll their member in an election or not. The security of that...
Setting aside that these rulings may apply to the general election, I don't know why states are involved with or paying for primary elections at all. Save the money, return it to the taxpayers, and let the parties pay for their own primary elections. Parties can select their candidates however...
Well, both. We have three livestock guardian dogs that live outdoors. Because they're outdoors all of the time there isn't downtime for charging. We have six batteries with one set on the dogs and one set on the charger at any time. I think of it as changing but it's changing between...
Training is key. It makes all the difference between success and failure.
Today we have three large rowdy dogs on GPS collars from Invisible Fence covering about 10 acres. They work well.
They have a feature that allows a dog that leaves the parameter to return without a shock although...
I see two separate issues; the shrinkage of the middle class and the portion of (any) society that cannot or will not obtain the skills or put forth the effort to add value to society and take a portion of that value as wages.
If properly done employers use productivity gains to fund increased...
