You seem to have missed that around 1776 there was a revolution.The reason for that war was to secure the Rights of men. Peace, Jim B. Really? To secure the rights of men? Funny how it only applied to pale faced men. No reds, yellows, browns, blacks, or women. If that was the purpose, it failed miserably. If it was a war for independence to create a new country, it succeeded. Also, before you go spouting half assed militia separatist rhetoric, you may want to notice that the constitution did not immediately follow the revolution. We had the article of confederation first. Then came the constitution and its first ten amendments. Basic history is important. And just so you know, your "just compensation" issue can and has been applied to all taxes from sales to income. Like reasonable people understand and outta have clearly stated, the services you gain from your tax dollars ARE that just compensation. If you don't like it, push for new representative who will support new legislation that you want. Higher sales, different income tax, etc. Or you can try out those crotchbinders. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Sure, I can. You live in a constitutional republic based on democratic principles. The constitution was amended to add a provision for income tax. You can pay that tax, or you can go to prison. Your petty little arguments dot amount to a hill of beans. Your "I don't contract with UCC" bit is a sorry old schtick, it hasn't worked for your irrational predecessors, it isn't working for you, and it won't work for the next batch of gullible goobers who buy into it. I pay my taxes. Income, sales, real estate, vehicle, and so on. I use a CPA so that I don't overpay. I consult attorneys as needed to protect my legal rights and ensure I get what's supposed to come to me. I live here, I work within the system. You can do so, or you can model your orange jumper for your new husband and cellmate, Bubba. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

The nice things about SFSTs is that no matter your tolerance, and no matter how "in control" you may think you are, you still show signs during the WAT and the OLS. But like you said, nobody beats the HGN. Add in the results of SFSTs to all the other general indicators of impairment like flushed face, bloodshot or glassy eyes, the odor of alcohol, the presence of paraphernalia, and so on, and yeah, and officer with the training and the desire will ahve a rock solid case against you. SFST - Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (the WAT, OLS, and HGN) WAT - Walk and Turn; the nine steps up, turn, and nine back, in the manner described and demonstrated OLS - One Leg Stand; like it says, that's the balancing on one foot while onlding the other just off the ground with straight legs, and counting HGZ - Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus; this is the watch the birdy test. Basically officers are watching for involuntary jerking of the eyes as they move back and forth. You can't fake this one, no matter how much of an alcoholic you may be. Yes. A cab is cheaper than a DWI, and whether you get arrested or not is secondary to whether you kill someone or not.

No argument there. But is the Tea Party a religious movement? I'm sure there are one or two morons out there trying to mooch of the power of the name (easy to do since there isn't a central party, and no one to officially set the course or dialog). But I understand teh Tea Party to be a loose association of groups calling for smaller government and less government intrusion into private life. If most of them are Christian, does that really matter? If your standard for calling a political party a bunch of fundie conservatards, then the Democratic Party is a bunch of fundie conservatards. Afterall, the vast majority of them are Christians. Has the Tea party called for any silly assed "christian law" to be imposed? I was under the impression they supported Choice over governemnt deciding for you in advance, whether it's deciding conservative/chiristian, or deciding socialist/progressive, or any other. Is there evidence to the contrary? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Right, except Tea Partiers haven't actually done any of that, have they? So they're actually nothing like the people descirbed in the article. Thanks for clearing that up. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Ah, there we go. The very first listed gun control law was racist (specifically against blacks). The very first gun control to affect whites was aimed at another minority, Catholics. But really, we just need one more gun control law to make things wonderful for everybody. edit to add: The first gun control law I know of passed after the Revolution was a Georgia law banning handguns. It was declared unconstitutional. (a shock to gun banners everywhere, I'm sure) witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Bill, I'm not surprised by Mark or Jeanne, and really I'm not surprised by your comment. But can you back it up? Can you describe for us how the Tea Party is like the Taliban?

If you really want to blow a gun banner's mind, you can always bring up Dred Scott, and remind them how the roots of gun control are even more racist than the roots of drug prohibition. The decision refused to give full rights and citizenship to "negroes," stating that to do so would allow them "to keep and carry arms wherever they went." Even a backwards racist decision clearly held keeping and carrying arms as valuable as freedom of speech, movement, and assembly. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Triangle is three hours away on a good day. An as it happens I've been there a few times. Had a nasty experience with a rigger that doesn't work there any more. Never got around to jumping. Place didn't strike me as much of a dz. Oh, they had some hangar space and a plane to jump from, but none of the things that make a dz feel like a dz. I don't know if they've changed, but I didn't plan on going back. Raeford isn't exactly nearby, but it's no further than Raleigh, and at least it's a known quantity. Plus the tunnel being just down the road doesn't hurt. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

That's what it looks like to me, too. I've been hoping a dz would open up, but I was afraid this is how it would go. No open spaces, no good outs, lots of water = no one want to let jumpers jump. I looked, and it looks bad even for a farm. 9000 feet and 30 seconds of freefall? Weak! I was hoping someone knew something that would prove my fears unfounded, but no such luck. I may swing by, but I don't expect much of a welcome or a long stay. I haven't tried Suffolk or Tradewinds yet. I've been at Raeford for the tunnel. Spring in Carolina sucks for jumping. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Don't know where that came from. It didn't say that when I first posted it. It should say "not unlimited". Not unlimited. Yep. The right can be taken away. States can require qualifications for concealed carry and prohibit carry into certain areas.

I agree. But if we're not going to fly missions, what part, if any, will the US play? Are we still bringing "unique capabilities" to bear? If we went ecause I.

So I insist on due process before taking a person's rights. You insist on anyone you deem untermensch have their rights taken; due process not necessary. I lean towards respecting individual freedom, you want greater government control over who has rights. And you say I'm over the line with the chicken references?

Anyone flown there or heard of it? I saw it listed in Parachutist. New dz? Tandem farm or real dz? I Tried calling and got no answer. I was at the airport a few months ago after an aircraft crash into the water and I didn't see anything to suggest a dz. Anyone know anything about this place? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
