  1. Scotty from Star Trek fame got his second trip into space. Hopefully he will stay there this time.
  2. The value of silver and gold continue to drop. No comments from the politicians yet. Republicans still hawk on their talk shows to buy gold.
  3. Homosexuality didn't become a word till the late 1880's. What probably fueled the government fears was when the Federal government in the 1880's got after the 'Mexican' USA citizens who were cohabitating 'illegally'. The 'Mexicans' got married in the Church and forgot to get a liscense from the State/Territory. Some 'Mexicans' actually got arrested because they had a Church marriage and did not get a Government liscense. Shortly afterwards in the later part of the 1880's the Federal government came down hard on the Mormons for their pologamist beliefs. But the main issue is should the goverments force their religious beliefs on citizens? I say "No!"
  4. I told you my uncle was a pedaphile. I suspect you know him....... Uncle Sam!
  5. It sounds like 'the enemey' is us!
  6. Half of the population is on drugs. Half of them get their drugs legally while the other half have to get their drugs illegally. Justice?
  7. The War on Drugs has been a disgrace! How many decades will it take to make a 'dent'?
  8. The history revisionist will probably say "GWB got Bin Laden and had him on ice but the compressor keeping the ice cold broke and he began to stink. His body decomposed so much it was decided to let Obie One to take the credit for bagging him. That is why the body was fed to the sharks."
  9. In some areas the damn red light camera ticket has no authority unless the person is duly served the citation. Flux RedFlx Traffic Systems!
  10. Problem is I do have really good insurance but the shit you got to do in order to get any service is pathetic. I have one customer who lives in Brazil. She comes to the USA several times a year. A few weeks ago she told me she had a major operation on both of her feet but she had the operation done in Mexico. Why? Cheap and the service was great. I know one Vet who goes to the VA Hospital all of the time. When he needs dental care, he goes to Mexico. Even for him it is cheaper and he gets great service. Figure it out.
  11. I had a full (top and bottom) shoulder replacement. Went in on a Wednesday and was discharges 24 hours later. If you need pain pills, you gotta wait a day or two to get your prescription filled. About a month ago I got hit by a truck while walking on the sidewalk. The dumb ass cop was going to give me a ticket. The driver got zero tickets! The dumb cop didn't even check to see if the chap had insurance. It looks like he didn't. If he did he probably is paying a fortune because he spend a long haul in prison for extreme DUI. I went to the emergency room and discovered another of the health cares little dirty secrets - if they suspect you can't pay - they loose your paper work. In my case I have excellent coverage but apparently they can't ask you if you have medical coverage till after you have been treated. After 2 hours in the emergency room they finally told me they had misplaced my papers - sorry got to start at the back of the line. The next day I went to my doctor and she prescribed oxycodone for the pain. She gave me paper work to get some x-rays and a cat scan. When I got to the place they told me I must call for an appointment. No way in hell could I make an appointment with them even though my paperwork said to go there. They finally said I could use their phone. I used their phone and got the customary leave a message. I told them at the counter my problem so they called their own people to make an appointment. They finally got a live one and put me on the phone. The person said a lady will come and get my paperwork. After asking me 4 times if the lady had come for my paper work, she had to call the nut case once more to tell come and get my damn paperwork. And the shit just went on and on. I would have gotten better healthcare if I went to Mexico!
  12. The Republicans will tell ya we need no damn health insurance. They will also deny one of the main reasons people file bankruptcy is for medical reasons. I had my encounters recently with the medical establishment. All I can say it is pathetic.
  13. The Arizona 'Immigration law' infringes further upon the rights of Arizonans. Some of us would like to see the Border Patrol patrol the border but I don't see that in the works yet.
  14. Debt buyers are the worst sort of people in existence. I use to have a debt buyer call me on a regular basis. They insisted I had to pay a certain debt. If I didn't pay they were going to do all kinds of nasties to me if I didn't pay it. I told them not to call again. They continued to call. What was the debt? It was a debt owed by some woman who I had no idea who she was.
  15. I will vote for Mitt Romney if he will sit down with me and have a cup of coffee.
  16. Is Romney going to run on the Democrat and Republican ticket?
  17. A Republican bill wants to put border Federal Parks and Forests under the control of Homeland Security. Can you imagine going to the damn park and Homeland Security wants to see forms of ID?
  18. State and Federal laws are worthless as far as enforcing illegal and unethical debt practices. Both governments are powerless to go after the shits who violate Federal and State laws regarding debt collection. Another enity that is not worth heir salt is the various State Attorney Generals.
  19. This is a major problem in the USA. The USA Civil War probably was started as a result of one 'jack' manipulating things to protect his damn business and the 'hell' with everybody else.
  20. But then...... there are many individuals today who claim that the US Civil War began because one man (who resonated very much like one of our modern day Conservatives) who wanted to make a greater 'killing' in the USA steel industry.
  21. Before the US Civil War, the National debt could have been paid off if every man, woman, and child paid $1.91. Today....... forget!
  22. What is Romney's position on putting up a wall along the USA borders?
  23. I think this is about justice and due process. A life was taken. The next step should have been to see if the life was taken justifiably.
  24. Zimmerman turned him self in and was subsequently arrested.
  25. News media now claim Zimmerman is going to get charged. New media claim Zimmerman is no longer in Florida. Sounds like this is going to be an interesting case.
