[quote name='HvyMtl' timestamp='1352651430' post='843762'] We do disenfranchise a lot of our population, and the two parties [i]want it this way.[/i] It makes it easier for their candidates to get elected, if those who are not supporters of the party do not vote. This is why we have all these new Voter ID laws, because the GOP knows those who are put out by having to have ID won't get to vote, and they know those people being put out usually vote Democrat. Block your opponent's voters, win the election. Disenfranchise them, they will quit trying to vote. Another example is the blocking of third party candidates. They are not on the ballot, they are not threat, and those who wish to vote for them either stay home, or vote for someone they do not want. [/quote] If you can't be arsed to register or get an ID to vote, then you aren't interested enough for me to want you to vote. Allen West's District had higher turnout than registered voters, so I think fraud is a bigger problem than you realize.

Not trying to be a pain, but China is not who we need to be worried about. We buy all their stuff. They have no desire in screwing us. Then they have no one to buy the things they are making, and they don't get paid back on the debt we owe them. China is not going to invade the US. As for preparing for similar scenario of some sort, I'd say learn to hunt and have things saved in more than 1 spot as has been said already.

Yeah I'm always a bit confused about the gun cleaning accidents. how does one clean a gun with a bullet in the chamber? seems it needs to be out to slide a rod or rope through the gun.

That is not full of win. it's sad. but it's why he got elected last time....

I saw 10 on my land the other night as well as 25 turkeys. :-)

That's why if you are shooting at someone, it's to kill and not maim.

Speaking of propaganda piece, nice chart. At Obama's election the DJIA was at 9500. You conveniently cut that part out and post the start of your chart 2 months after he took office, after the stimulus bill passed, and after the DJIA dropped 3k from his election to under 6500.

I agree. Just trying to make it slightly easier.

Hey guys, Warning: Shameless Plug to Follow I just released a new iPhone app for budgeting and thought I'd share it with you. Ez Budget is a budgeting app that implements Dave Ramsey's envelope system of budgeting. I tried several different things and couldn't find anything that worked the way I wanted it to, so I just made it myself. Some features are: -Define spending envelopes -Group the envelopes into categories -Manually import transactions -Automatically import transactions using OFX for banks that support it -Badge appears on the categorize transaction button to inform you of how many uncategorized transactions you have. -Split income and transactions into multiple envelopes -Keep a running total for the amounts in each envelope -Keep track of the balance for all envelopes -Keep track of past transactions Website link - Envelope Budgeting for the iPhone with Ez Budget App Store Link - Ez Budget - Quick Envelope Budgeting for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store If you have any questions let me know.

Thanks, that site is pretty nice. Apparently Ohio won't let me go to a restaurant that serves alcohol. Kentucky on the other hand, you can go into places that have a gunbuster sign up. You have to leave if they notice and ask you to leave, but it isn't illegal. Interesting.

Agreed.

Is there anything out of the ordinary I need to know about carrying in Kentucky or Ohio? I know they both honor the TN HCP, just wondering anybody has been there recently.

happy to report that Southern Bred is not posted. Food was good, unfortunately our waitress was awful. oh well.

Does anyone know if Southern Bred in Nashville is posted? I didn't see it listed in any of the threads as posted or not, and I'm supposed to be going there with some friends tonight. Just hoping for a heads up if anybody knows one way or the other. Thanks.

Got it today! Applied the 18th, fingerprinted the 19th, so it was not quite 2.5 weeks.
