Theres enough bad news in the world that sometimes people just need to find a way to make light of the situation. Unfortunatly, its sometimes in bad taste. This is very sad and shocking news with great potential for even more disaster in the "War on Terror". This means that not only is...

being too lazy to read the whole thread: Marriage should not be an issue of the state. period. By definition - it is (err rather, was) a a religious ceremony joining a couple together.

How could you get an unbiased "jury of peers" without jury duty? I'm sure someone here has an idea on that, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. I think Jury Duty could be kind of fun actually...though I'm probably wrong...and that $12 a day just does not cut it. If should be a volunteer...

Just remember, under the current laws and regulations, the UCMJ doesn't apply until you've been briefed on it as a member of the US Armed Forces. :D RUN! Or just stay home. Just be prepared for blow back.

No Taxation without Representation goes both ways. Being that I was 14 when I started paying income tax and 17 when I went active duty, I'd say anyone whose being taxed has the right to vote. Just IMHO of course.

Regarding RFID: Keep in mind that the chips do have a range. It's not like you're carrying around a GPS tracking unit to be read via satellites or anything. I'm opposed to RealID as well, but the fear of RFID by itself is a bit extreme, IMHO.

No, but honestly, it makes sense that those with bills to pay will pay the bills, first. I hope so anyway. I'll use most of this "stimulus" to pay off other bills; drop some into savings for an emergency, etc. Granted, I plan on blowing about an 1/8th of it... I've got some things I've been...

more news from the PA area... Few Apache Heliocopters spotted hovering around the I70/I76 and Hwy30 areas. State police are out in force as well in the area. Government transport vehicles spotted hauling ammo crates. Didn't catch what direction they're headed. Anyone up in that area have...

I got word earlier this morning of a convoy of "up to 50 military vehicles" headed East on I70 in PA, possibly heading towards Hagerstown MD. Followed by news of multiple groups of about 5 or so other military vehicles, headed E on I70 in PA, closer towards the Bedford County region. No clue...

concur. It is a private organization - and even different diocese seem to have different guidelines (in my very limited experiences), at least for some things.

I think its more just the simple fact that the CDN is no longer trailing the USD that generates the excitement. All about the ratio, not about the stability.

and a drop to 1023.30....... Anyone else think it'll dip a good bit in the morning when NY opens? (Then stabilize for a bit)

I'll second the above request for NIN. I'll also add in "Tori Amos" - who speaks of the "Maddness of King George" on her latest album. KMFDM - whose tracks over the years include "Not In My Name", "A Drug Against War", WWIII, etc. Ministry - Al Jourgenson is a long time study of American...
