Where were these conservative numbnutz when Dumya Bush wanted to keep the meetings between the Whitehouse and the oil companies secret under the same rule. These are the same conservatives that don't want to use the word vagina in a legislative debate but see no problem calling the President a numbnutz in public. Now those are nitpicky examples i agree and far afield. It all comes back to both parties doing the same crappy stuff and wanting the public (at least the majority stupid ones) to think that they never engage in this type of behavior.
I lived in England from 1985 to 1988 and cannot give due to the mad cow disease scare there during that time. Does not matter if i ate meat or not. A lifetime ban from giving blood.
Welcome to Conservative "values". They cannot define them but you must live under them. What a buch of tards.
I agee. She appears to be looking for the culprit and it is herself and her husband who failed to pay thier mortgage. If the bank has made errors, then hold them accountable for the laws that changed in this area after the housing mess started. The story makes it seem like they went into foreclosure in 2008. I have empathy for them, however, if I failed to make my house payments then I would expect to be out of it. Where is my loan modification for paying on time?
And we don't need more or different types of crimes than what we now experience - that is part of my point..
There will always be people who will skirt the law - with this, tobacco, or booze. This being a crop makes it a little easier to grow and sell under the table. There will be enough law abiding citizens who will pay for it in a legal way (like me) that it will create a significant tax revenue. It might be gradual, but it will happen. Sell a good product and people will buy it - no different that any other commodity. Treat it like booze in every way. The only problem i see is the "secondary high" that someone like a child could get from someone using it in close proximity. And i see a lot of dumb ass** now who do that. Use it wisely.
That is why come December I will be saying adios to AT & T. Tired of paying for 3G and getting 2G speeds all the time. Oh, and the time you switched me to auto payments from my debit card after being told specifically not too.
And this is the crap the schools are teaching our kids to be "culturally" sensitive about. When you let 3rd world scum into the country - you get 3rd world attitudes, customs, and morals.
As a public service to the "public - people on unemployment or TANF, if physically able, should provide some "public assistance" of thier own and help. The state can provide the transportation. The labor is already paid for by our taxes - so why not?
Apoligies for a delayed response to your effort. I guess my short response would be to say that I am a Federalist at heart and believe in a stong central gov't. Refineries create "interstate" commerce. And, it is commerce that is my main point for gas/oil. Usury laws were at one time federal in nature and are still sorely needed. Unscrupulous businesses rely on states that have weak or non existant laws or enforcement. They will jump around to get what they want. Federal regulations and usury laws helped much more to stop many practices we see today as far as hight loan (legal loan sharking) in some states. Federal excess profits taxes and price controls would stop much of the greediness we see today. It should not be "free market" without regulation. We have that by and large now and look where we are at.
