I think I am even slower, but the way I see it the government spent 8 million bucks to have someone drive a backhoe and a bulldozer down the Darrington road to fix it. How is that any different than the government paying congressmen to make a law providing for civil rights, banning slavery, then paying courts and police officers to enfore them. 8 million bucks out of our pocket is 8 million bucks, some of it goes to fixing roads, some of it goes to making and enforcing laws. I'm going to strangle you. The laws they were enforcing with our money were against our (changing) wishes. They wouldn't change them when we "asked". Then we had to force them to. I am signing off now, I'll check back with you later. I know you will have figured it out by then--you have an MBA for gods sake.

Why does a newspaper work? Because its red.

I'm slow, so you'll have to clarify for me the difference between these two things (as if I were a homeowner).

YOu have strayed from the original arguement: the gov't does not do something when asked. We have now allowed for two pressures: violence and money. You are now argueing my point for me. Yes, I will agree that for big issues the goverment does not do something when asked, and they need a bit more convincing like riots, rebellions, protests, etc. However with the smaller issues, the government varies. The Darrington access road was fixed when a group of people asked which was my counterpoint to you saying the government 'never' does anything when asked No--they were PAID 8 million bucks for this!

Yes Chuck, but the theft of people's homes is to benefit private companies. Still no rift.

That's obvious and consistant with the political platform. Statism is a Republican value.

The government was actively involved with these issues long before people stood up and fought against them. A quick example: the first time Congress ever overrode a presidential veto was for the 1866 Civil Rights Act, passed by Republicans over the wishes of Andrew Johnson. Okay, I can't stop at one: To oppose the 1964 Civil Rights bill, Senators mounted the longest filibuster in the US history.

More mailbox storage control/options.

that is not exactly doing what the people asked for, now is it?

You are not saying that our taxes paid for riots and rebellions, are you?

After we move to NYC?

We didn't ask for this--we paid for it. Big difference.

that blows ... my grandparents made out pretty sweet when SeaTac was expanded Do they have a spare bedroom for Gramma Minx?

not mine! Not your backhair? Yeesh

The gov't NEVER does what we ask them to. The only time the gov't has responded to public pressure was when they were forced to (i.e. anti-slavery, civil-rights, etc)

vanilla ice Thanks, now that friggen song is stuck in my head. Thanks a lot.

It is a huge generalization to say that "Liberals" support this. Do you really think these judges represent what "Liberals" think?

The best white joke I can think of is Eminem

Authorities will do little to stop identity theft because credit card companies profit handsomely from it. How do you think that works?

I hope not.
