Actually, it doesn't sound stupid to me at all. I think what is absurd is that anyone thinks so little of their neighbors they feel the necessity to be armed at all times. This gun fetish reeks of fear (amygdala). pubby

His name is Jarrod Ramos; 38. He was involved in a defamation suit with the newspaper because it wrote a report that he plead guilty to a crime that apparently thew his life into a spiral. My understanding it was like a police blotter piece where he and whomever else were adjudicated were listed as a matter of routine - i.e. not a full human interest story that singled him and his crime out. When his appeal on the suit was dismissed by the appellate courts last week, he apparently wend with revenge going so far as to post some somewhat specific threats against the newspaper on his facebook

A lot of the discussion over the next supreme court appointment is framed over the issue of religion. This relates to the aboortion discussion; gay rights as well as an attitude that goes to being generous in the realm of civil rights. The principle involved is by the constitution's first amendment, which allows no establishment of religion, includes, according to SCOTUS precedent, a right to privacy. Now I know that privacy is not specifically written in the constitution but the enumerated rights of counsel, right to not be compelled to self-incriminate, right to be secure in ones' p

No one is ever vindicated by a 5-4 vote partisan vote of the SCOTUS. Ask GWB about that. BTW: Anyone who tells you that pissing on the first amendment is winning is a loser. pubby

Here's a fact:

I will note that Food Depot sells 10 lbs of cubed ice for $1.09 plus their ten percent. Best deal on bagged ice in the county. Kroger is at $2.00 and other locations even higher. pubby

Judging from the high regard those in the GOP have for Vlad Putin, should we assume these wealthy Americans are moving to Russia? pubby

The nuclear energy field, because it is intertwined with government, operates under different market circumstances than solar. You know this. The beginning point on the open market solar industry is one that has dropped tremendously and promises to drop further - if you don't tax the industry out of competitiveness in order to favor legacy energy sources (coal, oil, gas, nuclear). At that, the cost per watt of power from panels is getting insanely low. Earlier this spring I explored the cost of a 12kw solar installation. On the cost of the panels - which is about 40% of the cost

Considering the insensitive, tone-deaf, inhumanity of the policy it was kind of like Trump putting a pistol to his head except, instead of bullets coming out of the barrel, it was the lives of little children that were spewing from gun. Democrats were saying, stop shooting yourself and our nation in the foot but Trump, his vision of a strong man being Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Putin, the Phillipines Duarte and brother killer Kim Jung Un, thought it a matter of toughness to laugh in the faces of the crying children. Hell no WE WANTED HIM TO STOP IT BECAUSE HE STARTED IT. A

It is gratifying to report that solar power generation in Georgia is becoming a reality as Green Power EMC will be supplying its 38 members - EMC's like Greystone and Cobb EMC - with 676 MW of electric power gathered from the sun by 2020. The real kicker is the cost of production for this power will be under three cents a KWH which promises to put pressure on the co-ops to lower the cost of electricity instead of increase its cost. From the article: Of course costs could be even lower without the added burden of tariffs. Projects slated for completion in 2020, accordin

That's like asking a drunk who was weaving down the road running people into the ditch telling the cop who just pulled him over, "I've stopped driving so I ain't running anyone else in the ditch so are you happy now?" pubby

These are typically hearings in front of an administrative judge; a position the appointment to which is the result of some political influence. Further, without much deeper analysis, we don't know whether this ratio is driven by the fact that only one in five is lucky enough to get legal aid from advocates or through their own resources; although I suspect that would be a key component to success. Another issue could well be the point of entry rule for making a claim to asylum. I understand that that route to entry has been slow balled and folks, who happen to be on the more dangerous Mexi

And that just exacerbates the inhumanity of the entire scheme because, for Trump, it is only about winning the political battle to build the wall and destroying the lives by orphaning hundreds if not thousands of little children; well, that is collateral damage and he don't give a damn. It is painfully obvious to EVERYONE that this entire crisis is a political ploy on the part of Trump who thinks he can lay blame on the Democrats for not accepting his dictates contained in his proposed immigration law. That law contains nothing about changing the provisions regarding these children, rather

I knew you were incapable of re-thinking your position but you just proved you were incapable of thinking at all. Oh, and I can be practical or biblical with my next statement. In fact I will be both. Practical: The average American commits three felonies every day. This assertion comes from a 2016 book that says that because there are so many federal laws and those laws are so vaguely written, it is plausible that even the straightest arrow could commit as many as three violations of federal law - inadvertently - every day. LINK Biblical: Let he who is without sin cast the firs

And, you think that is a good example? You do know the criminal justice system is broken and that absurd policies that have us incarcerating 25 percent of the worlds' prisoners at a rate five times that of all other nations combined is the obvious proof. That the jailing of people for crimes that range from poverty (can't make bail) to non-violent crimes literally not only destroy lives but contribute to the creation of a class of misfits whom our punishment oriented system actively conspires to keep bodies available for the private prison system. I know you are incapable of rethinkin

We've all seen the movies where the person is lost in the woods and can't get a phone signal to call for help rendering their phone useless. Well not so quick. What a lot of folks don't realize is that their phone can help them anyway but only if you have an app capable of accessing the phone's built-in GPS function. How important would this be? The last bit in this short video tells that story. Any navigation program will do although there are some - one that will show you how to hike back to the last location you had cell service to google earth, which will work as long as

This is the narrative documented in the press. I am confident that when Robert Mueller III presents his report, it will detail these charges documented with statements under oath and contemporaneous documents. Considering that Mueller's investigation has the benefit of dozens of investigators and prosecutors and has spent a bit over a year documenting these acts at a cost of millions would dwarf my effort. Still, here is an article about this, our nations most huge scandal: link. A lot of books have been written and a lot more will be written documenting this, our worst president. T

My problem with driving interstate highways is there is a desire to go fast. It is the only way to keep the long monotonous highway from becoming so boring you want to sleep. And that the interstate route is 26 miles longer (175 v. 201 miles according to google) and the drive times are almost identical demonstrates that you drive faster on the Interstate. Still, as noted, going faster doesn't save you any time.. When driving on the Interstate, you're dealing with semi's which I also like to avoid like the plague. In contrast, going the road less traveled, you're entertained by the sce

The point is that what you perceive him to be is as big a lie as the string of lies he spews daily. I'm not going to comment on his backbone; as the discussion is one of semantics ... and because I don't know if we're talking literally or figuratively. If you haven't figured it out, the notion of his being 'independent' and free from influences; you've obviously turned a blind eye to the aid he got from not just Russia - who committed the same crime as the plumbers did at Watergate on his behalf but because they are a foreign power 'got away with it.' - not to mention aid from the Unit

Strangely, neither do the courts and what I understand, about 80 percent of those who FOLLOW THE RULES AND PRESENT THEMSELVES TO AUTHORITIES AT THE BORDER ASKING ASYLUM - DOCUMENTED OR NOT - ARE REQUIRED BY TREATY TO BE GIVEN A HEARING. The only problem is we have underfunded the the courts, over-funded the holding cells (to payoff contributors who rent detention space to the government) as republicans exploit another game for fun and profit from the taxpayer. Of course the reason that hasn't changed is that since 2000, the GOP refuses to move on any GREATLY NEEDED immigiration reform

There is definitely a need for carbon remediation. It is obvious that these folks are angling on a subsidy to be paid by a carbon tax that works out to about $70 a barrel of oil (3.15 barrels of oil emit 1 ton of Co2 into the atmosphere) and they're saying the fuel from the process would be competitive if such a subsidy were available. When you consider that the product of a barrel of crude is about 30 gallons of fuel, the process delivers gasoline/diesel fuel at a crude oil barrel price of about $110-150. That means to make this financially viable, the cost - including carbon tax - wo
