Said the guy with one of his many mug shots pointed at the camera. But then, you always did love to beat the ever loving fecal matter out of your women down in Aiken county. Too funny.:D

I'm not pointing the gun at you or anyone else. Target practice.

Good for snakes. Rifle good for Bambi (I want to get a bow). I'm known for trapping vermin and carrying them across the river into the next county. Part of their restoration program.

I support the students and the second amendment.

I'm not sure our forefathers could envision what was to come.

I am not concealed carry and against open carry (although the crackheads living around me would love it).

I am not an FFDO (I really think the first 400 that knocked people over running to sign up should have been denied for being too eager).

I don't see any need for automatic, semi-automatic, or any thing that emulates such weapons.

We need easy access to mental health professionals not just for the students but for EVERYONE. We got a little of that with the ACA ... aka Obama care ... now with Tr ... never mind.

We need real background checks ... with NO LOOPHOLES.

I do not support the NRA. They are part of the problem.

I call my cONGRESSmEN and express my views. They are concerned about their re-election more than loss of my vote.

No one thing will fix our problems but we have to start somewhere.

I know many reading this are foaming at the mouth with veins bulged reaching for the keyboard ... I'm not going to engage you.

This is just info for the Beech Island battery expert in hopes he can find a bell curve where I fit into one of the extreme corners.

Peace. :o

PS I love your music.

My apologies to all APCers and the Mods if any were offended.

Hope you all have a blessed day.

I have to finish off this bottle of wine now.

:D

Absolute claptrap. That women completely hogtied both MEC's at every turn and her infamous "gag order" was the biggest impediment to our cause. She flat out told us that she would never allow a strike and that we'd best settle.

Couldn't believe she was ever a former Unionized employee and proved to me that the at the time administration had absolutely no interest in labor at all.

Ask any member of the MEC what they thought and I'll bet you'll hear similar responses.

Ask any former RJET pilot how much Linda did for us during our 8.5 years of negotiations (5.5 mediated). She was completely ineffective at moving along negotiations but very effective at keeping the transportation system from being disrupted.

Ignorance is a bliss.

Max personal income tax rate in Norway is 39.1% This rate applies if the personal income is equal to or greater than appr $124,000.

That rate includes health insurance and pension savings.

It's also nice to be a fairly small (approx 5million population, just slightly bigger than the Minneapolis/St Paul metroplex) homogeneous population with access to $$Billions of North Sea oil revenues which they have dutifully squirreled away in a giant trust fund that now throws off $Billions that they can now spend on government services, healthcare, and pensions.

Imagine if the US government had done something similar with our federal land's mineral rights instead of giving it away to corporations for next to nothing.
