  1. Campaign reform. Limit the amount of money a party and candidate can spend. Give (at least) a 3rd party the same advantage monetarily. Part of this reform would also effectively change the states nomination process's and rules as well as reforming the electoral college. Sweeping change should also legislate term limits and benefit cutoffs for those out of office with one exception, the Pres. But change his to a single 6 yr term.

  2. Except for the part where by the time we got OBL, he was irrelevant. Do you all really think that all international terrorist planning against the US began and ended with him?

    The intent of us going into Iraq was in response to OBL's orchestrated attack on the WTC. We were after OBL. We learned he was in Afghan and went after him there. We got him. Mission accomplished.

    Of course there might be other terrorists plotting. But this isn't a crusade we're on. We need to draw down and gtfo. Too much money and far too many lives being lost over there.

  3. Yes. Colorado is far more better. You should go there. No sense cluttering the fun... er' date=' I mean lackluster roads in the Smokies with more parked Harley Davidsons.[/quote']

    Thanks for the dis-invitation! Nothing lackluster about the Smokies, never meant that. I lived in Tennessee for several years back in the 60's so I have seen lots of that area. There's just something about the western states that is so alluring....

    To some it's the technical quality of the roads, to others it's the scenery. Depends on who's making the comparison doesn't it?

    You got me there, its always 'in the eye of the beholder' isn't it?

  4. Modern technology is incredible. Bet the Viet Nam vets wished they had such technology to work with.

    Actually a tiny platoon but our guys took care of business. Thank God for that and the lives they did save. Cudo's to all serving over in the shithole but I do agree, we shouldn't be there in the first place. We got OBL so case closed, or it should be, imho.

  5. Bet she wishes she had an assault rifle...

    Why? Her .38 did the trick.....it saved her and the kids. Its better than a sharp stick!

    Not being an expert I would guess she was shooting practice rounds in a caliber that I would consider to be small anymore. I have bought my wife a small .40 auto loaded with pers. prot. 155 gr. Gold Dots. They have a high pct of stopping power and are about equal to a .357 in that respect.

  6. I was the GM at a large truckstop that used to close (yes we actually closed the doors for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day) so we offered OT to anyone who wanted it. Deal was, part of the assignment was to clean. The women's head (toilet) was always the filthiest. Nasty grotty filth everywhere, worse than the men's head. And talk about gross shit written on the stall walls, the women had the mean beat hands down in all terms of filthiness.

  7. This. The chance of anybody even finding out you're carrying (and caring enough to say anything) seems about as high as the place being attacked.

    Sooo, you carry and no one knows, until there is a need to draw your weapon, then you have a problem.

    The way we were taught once you fire your weapon, legal or not, the legal entanglement begins. If its a all legit its still a nightmare dealing with all the repercussions, and yes if you stop stuff from happening you are all good, but why carry in a place you know is an unlawful place to do so. The way I understand it not only do you lose your weapon, you lose your ccw forever, and will probably be doing some jail time.
