Someone wanted their bailout money back is all.

Once again people are driving like idiots. How many times does it have to be said that when the traffic lights are out you are suppose to treat the intersection as if it was a 4 way stop? I sat on 1st ave and 32nd st ne for 8 minutes as idiots just blasted through the intersection. Finally a guy just pulled out and basically sat there and let some of the cars on 32nd st go through.

Where would the world be if Hawkins, Reeves and the hundreds of others who make or made incredible contributions to our society be if they just pulled the plug? And I don't want to hear about how this man wasn't any of these people. The truth is we won't know what he could have been and the course the rest of his life would have taken because we has a society let him take his own life.

Tom it wasn't the cold war, it was the American Revolution. The key part of that term is Revolution which is to say a countenance. moving, effect which must come back around to its start.

We have two marines, a son and a daughter, in our family. Our son fought in the city of Ramadi and lived through the war in Iraq and yesterday our daughter landed in Afghanistan. Our son was injured twice while serving in Ramadi; once when an a blasting cap placed within an IED went off (The IED had been submerged in a sewage drain dampening the powder so only the blasting cap exploded.) and the second time while on patrol through the city.

Our son, Jonathan, is a machine gunner and his first injury happened when an IED exploded under his feet and a junk of steel flew through the air tearing off the tip his ring finger. His uniformed was covered with raw sewage and his ears ringed for hours as his team mates and company commanders explained to him just what had happened, the shock wave had literally blew the sense out of him, and how he was that days luckiest solider. His second injury occurred has he was jumping over a short wall while his squad took on an enemy attack.

Our son is responsible for operating the M240G, a 25lbs piece of angry steel that fires the 7.62mm (30 cal) round and is used to first suppress enemy fire, then to gain fighting superiority. While on a typical patrol, for what these marines called typical, his squad came under fire. Not knowing which of the many buildings facing them that the fire came from his unit took immediate cover. For my son this meant jumping over a 4' breaker wall built to separate home from city while caring and readying his machine gun to provide supporting fire. In the tense action that followed our son managed to rip the muscle in the wall of his stomach leaving behind a hernia that he lived with till just a few months ago.

During World War 2 Adm. Chester A. Nimitz is quoted has saying that "...uncommon valor was a common virtue." Many people are going to ask if Staff Sargent Giunta deserves the highest honor our country to give to a fighting man. In my humble opinion only a vet that has seen action, that has lived those moments where time stands still and the rush of facing an uncertain truth takes over every part of your being, can answer that question. For his part my son says yes.

If we lived in your world then no one, expect a person who shot someone in front of 100 people while standing over a body screaming I did it while being taped by four television crews as he hands 20 cops the gun. would ever be arrested let alone convicted of a crime. That is if you could even have a trail because no one would become a judge or attorney and no one would ever serve on a jury.

I paid over $600 for plates last year and I don't even own a new car of RV. Who wants to bet that any cost passed on to the user will find a way to be grandfathered in just like the local option sale tax that will never go away

Just a FYI for those drivers that don't know how to act when the traffic lights go out, you are to treat the intersection has a 4 way stop! Failing to stop while the lights are not functioning can mean a ticket and in the event of an accident you wold be the liable party.

Actually they take the pic from the rear. They face the cameras that way to help prevent people from doing what you suggested.
