	Apparently, they don't. Built by Quorum, of course. The quality you've come to expect from a spec home builder.
 - 
	$3.99 at True Value.

	I'd like to be born again, but I'm afraid I'd get stuck.

	Life begins at contraception.

	Sitting a defendant next to a forest yellow jacket nest and seeing if he gets stung or not is the best way to determine guilt or innocence.
 - 
	Did you know that, during the Nuremburg trials, a lot of the defendants claimed that they were only following orders?
 - 
	No. i don't trust that fat fuck, he's just another rush limbaugh as far as i'm concerned. i think he has his own issue like over eating for example. i wouldn't give his heart attack waiting to happen ass health care. don't you have to care about your own health first. it's a two way fucking street, and we are all getting fucked in the ass. Would you have given Winston Churchill leadership of the British war effort in WWII? He was pretty out of shape, too.

	Relatively speaking.

	I earn my place in Heaven every time I do an approach. Which frees me up for my crusade to try to get as many Christians as possible to stop worshipping false idols. For some people, taking their rightful place in Heaven is the only way they ever STFU.

	When your place in Hebbin is assured, it frees up a lot of time for you to help others live better.

	Any recommendations? I've seen Rossignol Free Ventures in action, which was enough to get me interested in the concept.
 - 
	I should have had those yuppies whacked when I had the chance.

	Let's see... ...illegal immigrants, 1st floor, meth lab, 2nd floor, grow op, top floor. I think I can make 12K/mo pencil out.

	On a related note, this 4800 sf plywood POS has been on sale for $1.2 million (twice the price of any other house on my street) for more than 4 months now. The price has been steadily dropping in $25K increments, but at that whopping sticker, no one even notices. Someone finally tagged it with "PLZ LUV ME!" Bad taste AND timing, fuckers!

	You know if you put a baby down next to a forest yellow jacket nest, they won't get stung. It's all in how you carry yourself.
 - 
	So that's what 'Temple Elders' do.
 - 
	Sven and Hagar were busy that year.
 - 
	That's why I like having a bear for a mascot. Bears, young or old, are always the same. Fat, furry, famished.

	I think that the tax code also provides a considerable bit of encouragement/subsidization of this perspective. Homeownership is the chief driver of our consumption economy. After upgrading just about everything on a 1911 house, boy, do I know what I'm talking about in that department.

	At this point you'll have to swim for it.
 - 
	You can't just throw the Blood of Christ down the sink. Jesus. Don't they teach you Mormons anything?
 - 
	The kayaks in my garage have started to drift away...and they're hanging from the ceiling.

	Nothing works to change the behavior of the pudgy American public like a little dose of pain. Wanna solve the traffic problem? Shut down half the lanes on a freeway. Magically, you can suddenly drive 70 mph at rush hour. It's funny how, time and time again, everyone suddenly manages to get off their lazy asses and find another way to get around. Wanna solve his credit problem? Let people fall on their financial swords. It's the only way to drive the point home for the longer term. Our entire society runs on having someone in the distant future pick up the bill. Our political system is specifically engineered for this. As a candidate, if you try to tackle a tough issue, the other side calls you 'gloom and doom'. This, by the way, is the GOP's favorite tactic...on global warming, on the debt crisis, the health care crisis, the collapse of the dollar, Iraq, oil and natural gas depletion; you name it. Everything's fine, after all, this is America!

	He might try to take a few mistatements out of his summaries in the future, or just omit the summaries period. They don't add constructively to the discussion. For example, neither I nor the Supreme Court ever argued when "life begins". Rather, the Supreme Court explicitly stated that it was not the right body to determine when life begins. For my part, I simply recounted that decision. This is central to this discussion, because it's one of the most misquoted viewpoints by the abortion foes, who have their pet slogan "Life begins at conception". Yes, we all know a fetus is alive, but the question at hand for those balancing the rights of the mother with those of the unborn is "when does PERSONHOOD" begin? This is a oversimplying propoganda technique that the Christian Right LOVES to use. It frosts my ass when people who should know better parrot it and thus, unwittingly or otherwise, promulgate it. Far from deciding when life begins, the Supreme Court chose to use viability outside the womb as a means to define 'personhood' in a legal sense so that it could attempt to balance the rights of the mother with those of the unborn. I mentioned that this seemed like a reasonable (if unavoidably imperfect) compromise to me. Get it right, lads, get it right.
