  1. The problem is that the disease is being given the chance to mutate and evolve to beat the vaccine thanks to these anti Vax assholes.
  2. Well shit son, was looking forward to shooting the shit with you, hope the Mrs feels better soon.
  3. "The generations of men may be considered as bodies or corporations. Each generation has the usufruct of the earth during the period of its continuance. When it ceases to exist, the usufruct passes on to the succeeding generation free and unencumbered and so on successively from one generation to another forever. We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country." --Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1813. ME 13:270
  4. And another "The idea that institutions established for the use of the nation cannot be touched nor modified even to make them answer their end because of rights gratuitously supposed in those employed to manage them in trust for the public, may perhaps be a salutary provision against the abuses of a monarch but is most absurd against the nation itself. Yet our lawyers and priests generally inculcate this doctrine and suppose that preceding generations held the earth more freely than we do, had a right to impose laws on us unalterable by ourselves, and that we in like manner can make laws and impose burdens on future generations which they will have no right to alter; in fine, that the earth belongs to the dead and not the living." --Thomas Jefferson to William Plumer, 1816. ME 15:46
  5. This wasn't an isolated quote from jefferson. "Let us provide in our constitution for its revision at stated periods. What these periods should be nature herself indicates. By the European tables of mortality, of the adults living at any one moment of time, a majority will be dead in about nineteen years. At the end of that period, then, a new majority is come into place; or, in other words, a new generation. Each generation is as independent as the one preceding, as that was of all which had gone before. It has then, like them, a right to choose for itself the form of government it believes most promotive of its own happiness; consequently, to accommodate to the circumstances in which it finds itself that received from its predecessors; and it is for the peace and good of mankind that a solemn opportunity of doing this every nineteen or twenty years should be provided by the constitution, so that it may be handed on with periodical repairs from generation to generation to the end of time, if anything human can so long endure." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:42
  6. The plan was for them to expire after 19 years, apparently there wasn't consensus on that. Doesn't mean that jefferson was wrong though.
  7. Funny... however, many founding fathers, most notably jefferson never intended for their laws to outlive them. They felt each generation should be free to rewrite their own laws, pass their own amendments. Most clearly stated as such. "Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of nineteen years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force, and not of right."
  8. A lobster was had last year iirc
  9. Is that pleasant hill dam?
  10. That spot was nice, apparently we didn't get banned this time, lol
  11. I'm just interested in some tasty food. It would also be nice to have our own area. That's it for my requests.
  12. There was a guy making his own fireworks in his garage in Conneaut a while back. Had a big drum full of black powder that apparently got ignited and blew the house off it's foundation.
  13. Sit on everything, it's a good time.
  14. Typically a gas leak, someone comes home and turns on the lights, boom. Happened in Howland a few years back.
  15. Russo already talked to my mrs. I'll be there with at least her, and probably 1 or 2 more. Probably not staying at the hotel tho.
