And they don't send you a reminder email when you're close to the expiration date, so it's lost revenue to the site. Not sure of the logic of that. I've had several sites do that to me, some losing out on hundreds of dollars per year per member. Oh well.

Sounds interesting, but I wouldn't recommend eating hippie, it's pretty bad.

And Geraldo said there was something in Al Capone's safe too.

Everyone has been doing this all day, seriously, it's very easy to do. Ted Kennedy started it several years ago.

That's an oxymoron, for both of those words define each other. -

One reason why our gas will continue to rise

I take exception to the way you phrased that. Perhaps a 'portion of American people' would be much more accurate. I for one don't suck at the teet of government provided/taxpayer funded anything. I have never taken unemployment even though I have been eligible for it several times. I am responsible for myself and only require govt. to protect me from foreign attackers and to lock up domestic ones that try to kill me. I'll give them a pass on roads, but other than that, govt. provides absolutely NOTHING I need, want or require, yet takes plenty from me to provide it to others who have their hands stretched out. -

I assume you've tried the Aspect Ratio / Zoom button on the remote first? Pressing progressively cycles through the different aspect ratios and zoom options. Depending on what you're viewing, different movies, broadcasts and media are conformed to different aspect ratios. It's akin to the curtains on the sides of the movie screen at the theater adjusting to fit the current movie. That's about all I can offer on your problem. -
N.S. Doesn't anyone recognize an analogy anymore. Guess not. I disagree. Oil is plenteous and there is more than we could ever use in 2,000 years. If other technologies were economically viable, the market would bring them to bear and they would flourish without subsidies. But, alas, that is not the case. The cream of cost-effectiveness will always rise to the top without artificial help. Oil and coal are abundant. So is nuclear. France embraces nuclear. Why don't the Frenchy lovers want to imitate France on that scope? No need to search, we know where abundant supplies are, we are only hampered in getting it by socialist presidents and tree hugging hippies. Current drilling technologies are akin to laparoscopic surgery, very un-invasive and "environmentally friendly". Businesses invest in winners, not losers. No such thing as "fossil" fuels. It's been a catchy term for decades, but innacurate. 'Oil' does not come from decomposing dinosaurs. It is a naturally forming substance formed deep within the earth that is constantly being created. There is much more than an infinite supply.

Now this statement regarding so-called "separating a religion from the state" is actually accurate in that it covers in the right direction, i.e. govt. NOT making up laws based on religion or establishing a state religion (and then persecuting people for not adhering to it - reasons for the Reformation and again for the Pilgrim's leaving England for America). This is actually what the 1st Amendment is partially about. People just have to understand that it operates in one direction, but not the other, keeping govt. out of the religion establishing business. Religion is inside the person, not the government, and that's ok. JFK was a Catholic. Carter a Baptist. Bush a Methodist. But if we had a king instead of a representative government, and said king dictated that everyone had to be the XYZ religion and if they weren't they had to pay higher taxes, fines and receive other penalties and imprisonment, or even death, THAT is what the 1st Amendment prevents, not people of religion working or interacting with government. Because, again, just to be clear, religion is in the people, a part of them, so they can NOT be excluded from participation or interaction, their religion being a part of them goes wherever they go.

Agreed, and fairly accurate, with the exception of the very the last sentence. People's misunderstanding and repeating of that phrase only perpetuates a belief that it exists. There in fact is no "separation of Church and State", it doesn't exist except in some liberal minds. What does exist however is the First Amendment to the United States Constitution which relates to "Freedom of Religion" and "Freedom of The Press/Free Speech". That's freedom of, not from. It declares that people can have religion and the government shall keep it's nose out of it. The 'religion' is in the people, not the government, but people are in the government. Governments can't get the flu, but people who work in them can have the flu when they go to their government job (i.e. Senator, Congressman, etc.), just as they have their religion in them when they go to that same job. If someone wants to interpret what the 1st Amendment says in a different manner, they will have to change words and twist the plain and simple meaning of what it says in black and white. If they want to say that it is "freedom from religion", then I guess they'd also have to say the next line reads "freedom from the press." These days, that may not be a bad idea. They don't report any truth or facts anyhow.

That's because European cities have had huge populations for almost 1,000 years or more. Americans have always been freedom loving individuals who don't like to be tied down, so the automobile proliferated here like nowhere else. The Founding Fathers of America didn't plan for subways and such with a population of only 7 million for an entire country in 1760, let alone a single city. If we'd had large populations nationwide rather than in only a few concentrated areas when the technology for mass transit came about, then we may have more abundance of mass transit.

Can't beat that (the getting off part) because I didn't get pulled. Passed LEO sitting under a bridge doing 122, he didn't budge. Guess he thought he'd never catch me, not that I'd run, but I don't slow down just at the sight of LEO. Now, if he'd popped his lights, I'd have slowed down and waited for him to catch up and took my lumps.

I only carry when I feel that there might be trouble. And then, I never have one in the chamber because I am afraid that the gun might go off by itself and shoot me. Guns are evil. Hammers are not evil. I know both are tools, but...guns are evil. I've never heard of anyone being killed by a hammer, but guns will try and kill you every chance they get. (that's 'sarcasm' for nimrods who didn't immediately get it) On the other hand, no round in the chamber = empty gun/paperweight.

Exactly what I've been thinking, which makes it their next 'problem' to overcome. If they ever do, there goes the last truly free country on the planet, hello slavery.

Explain numbers please. Is that your position number, or some sort of handicap number?
