are you saying to take pride in our short bus?

Amen, brother. And the checkpoints suck donkey dicks but they are not the same as Nazi Germany either.

And pharmaceuticals too? And hospitals? And Doctors in private practice? Everyone has to buy insurance if their employer doesn't cover it. Say as a fixed rate payroll deduction. For those unemployed, it's covered for a time, just like unemployment. Everyone has some copay for each visit and some deductible.

did you make khorovatz?

We aren't in Detroit

I am Spartacus

this is spray

Everyone born here is a Native American.

To answer the question posed in the subject line of this thread: the author who originated it.

Yes, like "border patrol" inspections along interior highways. See my comments in that thread. How do you reconcile your desire for govt services and programs with your love of freedom? He loves the freedom of the hills.

Yes, like "border patrol" inspections along interior highways. Which FW has stated clearly he opposes. Can we discuss the Climate Change Crisis now?

Taunt? Doesn't sound bad...but for some reason I get the image of Nicholson in that movie...

Exactly! Also, all work and no spray makes Jack a dull boy!

I don't think there are enough photos on that pianoforte. fortepiano, 5K. both work dude.

Then why are they here? I'm sick of people who come here and immediately set about complaining and trying to remake America into the place they left. Idiots. You're right, people who move here have no right to attempt to improve their adopted country. Trying to impose or whine for government health care is not "improvement". It's like walking into MacDonalds for a meal and complaining about how unhealthy the food is. Eat somewhere else. So, it's OK for them to try to improve our country, unless their goals are deemed by you to be "wrong?" People in America have every right to try and implement whatever changes they want, be it communistic, socialistic, fascistic, "collectivistic" or otherwise. That's what's great about America. Even the constitution can be changed. Nobody gets to decide which changes are on the approved list for immigrants to bring up. And I have a right to lobby for and express support for tighter immigration laws; no? Of course. What are we arguing about again? Could we please get to discussing Global Warming now, damn it! Fuck Health Care - we need to save the fucking planet!

Yes, that Bushmills single malt is great! I picked up a bottle a couple of months ago, and at first didn't like it. It's not as sweet as Irish Whiskey. Then it grew on me. I still have maybe 1/4 of the bottle left, maybe a little less. I've been enjoying it on climbs at base camp - just a 50 ml dram while I watch the sunset and let it sooth away the stiff and sore muscles and relax the mind for the climb the next day. Right now I'm enjoying a dram of Highland Park 12 year. It's peaty and smoky like all island malts, but not as strong as Laphroaig, Talisker or others. It's got a pleasant sweetness as well. Enjoy your uisce beatha, friend!

Exactly! Just say "no" to national health care.

yes! good work.

Maybe. I'd love to get out for a day at Tieton if the weather holds up. Have to check with the missus. It wouldn't be more than one day in any case. hmm WA pass would be nice, but only w/ overnight... I'll PM you... watching the weather too. Thompson has your name on it too, you know.

Good point. Can you play hooky and climb this w/e??

They are not being searched. So how will they catch drug dealers? How will they catch illegal aliens? Can't aliens get driver's licenses pretty easily? How will they catch nukular weapons in the trunk? So what's the value of this again? Probable cause during stops. Like, "you're wearing a turban. Open the trunk." ?? Nope. More like "You have an Obama bumper sticker. QUIT RESISTING ARREST!" "SIR! STOP RESISTING!" How should I know? I am not a cop. I am just saying that it is not a gestapo technique but rather a thought out check point looking for something specific or to increase safety through catching/ discouraging drunk drivers. But your comments before made it seem like this technique was going to catch drug dealers, human traffickers and terrorists. But now that is seeming less and less likely. I question how they are going to catch illegal aliens, especially if the alien is not the driver. How will they catch BC Bud in the trunk? How will they catch terrorists with smuggled plutonium? These things would all be better policed at THE BORDER where they have the authrotiy to actually police these kinds of things. Seems to be working in Montana. I've never seen a more thorough... and frightening passenger and carry-on search than at the Great Falls airport. WTF?

I know some aliens had manufacturing defects, but now they are illegal? WTF? They'll have to pry my aliens from my cold dead hands!

Prole's on the left.

Exactly!
