Here I am... 28 years old... cryin' like a freakin' baby for the loss of life. For the men and women trying to provide for their families. The men and women trying to protect the public after the initial impacts. I don't know what else to do. I have my Bible here. I pray for all the families to try and support them from here.
The problem is many judges refer to other cases for similar rulings... called precidents. It's also been ruled by the supreme court that the police are not responsible for your safety. Their only job is to catch the "outlaw" after the crime. And the United Nations meeting in New York is about removing all guns from private ownership.
Makes you wonder, don't it? If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns
Very well spoken..err... typed. The Digital book is a keen concept, an idea that works best for reference material- things that can be cross referenced and searched as another reader posted.
But as for the paper back/hard back novel, I just can't seem to see that going away. I also can't see someone sittin in church and looking at a computer screen bible...
First it's more like 5700 years (more or less depends on which rabbi you ask).
I'm of the opinion that Time is something made up by -us- to keep things from happening all at once. A day as defined as one rotation of the earth is, really, pretty short. If each planet defines its own day from one rotation.. you can draw your own conclusions from there. Time and Space is happening. It is expanding and contracting all at the same time - NOW. The Big Bang has not happened and yet ALL Big Bangs are happening NOW.
As for the existance of God - Yup. Call -it- what you will: Jehova, Science, Shiva, Ishtar, JHVH-1. Pretty much all the same. Different ways of looking at the same thing. Lets reduce everything we know to the simplest common item: Atoms. Lets reduce that down the the simplest: Hydrogen- The smallest atom/thing that we currently can identify. One Proton, One Electron. Proportionatly, the distance from that proton the the ever spinning and whirling electron is greater than that of the Earth to the Sun. So lets look at that electron.. Ah, hell... we can't. Why? Because it is constantly shimming in and out of existance: "Blinking" if you will. Just as we have movies that move at 48 frames per second (too fast for the human eye to see) we have the entire Universe constantly "winking" in and out of existance Millions of times per second..
My point: Everything you think you know is wrong.
Have to reply to this, too. Sorry :
Studies done my NIOSH including companies like Coke, Delta and a few others, noted that there was no difference in the injury rates from those employees who used back braces and those who didn't. The only people who got injured more where those employees who were part of the group wearing the braces and then decided they did not want to wear them six months into the study. Sorry, I can't remember the link to the study.
I agree that there are some good applications for the Ergonomic principles. What I do not agree with is any entity is able to give a broad "all encompasing" standard that applies to all industries. Lets look at it.. A company would have to have an ergonomics program if: An employee had to kneel or squat for more than 2 hours TOTAL per day (Plummers, Electricians, Baseball catchers????), Repeating the same motions every "few" seconds or repeating a cycle of motions... Look... I work in an industry that is absolutely HUGE (Trucking Industry). I have over 7 years experience with OSHA and their inspectors (conceit comes to mind). The cost to re-engineer all of our facilities to be adjustable would put us out of business. And that is not something you want to do to a company that ships 6% of the GNP. Ooopss.. Did I give away too much information about where I work?
Here's the checklist for a SEAT for you techies out there: 1.Backrest provides support for lower back (a good one) 2.Seat width and depth accomodate specific employee (not too big/small). 3. Seat front does not press against the back of employee's knees and lower legs (not too long) 4. Seat has cushioning and is rounded/ has "waterfall" front. Armrests support both forearms while employee performs tasks and do not interfere with movement. Sheesh.... Do you see where I'm coming from here? Name an industry and it will be affected by this standard. Dry Cleaners? Yup. Veterinary Hospitals? Yup. Archery Club? Yup. However, Agriculture, Construction, Maritime and Railroads are not affected. Hmmmm....
"I don't have too much of an issue with OSHA offering guidelines, so that the smarter IT people can by ergonomic equipmenton thier own (I know I will, since my typing skills are my livelihood), but we shouldn't handicap busineeses that can't afford this. "
The only point is that OSHA's standards are not guidelines. I just happen to be in that line of work (i.e. OSHA compliance/Health and Safety) and I am looking at the standard now. A company would have to have an extremely expensive program in place even if ONE employee lifted ONE thing that weighed more than 75 pounds at and ONE TIME.
As a side note, kinda funny, The use of any vibrating tools (as jig saws, ginders) for more than 2 hours a day will require the same standard. Guess I need to call my X....
The idea makes sense. However, you would just bring in more people saying what is and is not appropriate for.teens. Schools and the internet are something very complicated. I have a 5 year old son, just at the beginning of reading. He is better than I am, I think, at navigating the web. I do supervise him, however. I start him on the path to ZoogDisney or MaMaMedia and let him do the rest. Just the same as I do not let him watch whatever he wants on TV, I do not let him do whatever he wants on the Internet. Instead of me saying "You can't watch that," I will explain why I think WRASTLIN' is a waste of time and that we will now change the channel. See where I'm going with this? All the filters started as a baby sitter for kids with no supervision. I have the computer right in the living room. He can see what I do, and I can see what he does. Leadership by example, right????
Have the artists get a job, sit on the side lines and creat their art out of plastic toilet items and try to sell them. DOn't expect me to pay for it. I will GLADLY pay to maintain a strang infrastructure - including but not limited to: Police, Military, Fire Departments, Water, Sewage, and trash just to name a few. Education? I have my son in a private school because I cannot trust the governemnt to deliver my mail on time, I will not trust them to educate my child. Darn.. there I go again.::Voices won't stop:: Hehehe
I admire your conviction and the very articulate way that you present your opinion. IF it was law/understood that NO proposition could go against the Constitution, then maybe. I do admit that it is the minority at this point that controls the direction of our government. It is becuase they are the ones with "A bone to pick." I think that it is terrible that the people that are happy are not the ones speaking up. It is the people that want to mold others to their view - those that want the government to legislate morality - that scare me. Let me live my life the way I want to live it and bugger off.

I blew my rant. Fire went out when my fingers didn't find the home keys. All I was saying is that I want my money in MY pocket to spend it as I see fit. Why is that selfish? I DARE someone to come up to me and tell me that MY money is better spent on an artist that isn't good enough to sell his paintings so I have to support him, rather than spend MY money on putting food infront of MY child. I have, since I was 18, worked no less than 2 jobs to make sure that my wife and child ate. For 11 months, I ate ONE Cheesburger from McDonalds and a cup of water a day. THATS IT. If you think my money is better off in someone elses pocket...

Just wondering how protecing your rights and property is selfish? Why should someone WITH A GUN TAKE
The problem with your statement is that our country is based on a constitutional republic. If you understand Democracy as it really is, you would understand that it is EVIL. Example: Two wolves and a sheep are voting on whats for dinner. Majority rules. Oops. Didn't think of that didja? How about a point that hits home a litte harder: The old south. Blacks were killed and beaten and hanged and the MAJORITY of the people where white... The consitution specifically limits the power of Emperial Government of the United States to prevent just such a thing from happening. Obviously products of a government schools, most people do not recognize this fact. That our Founding Fathers specifically spoke out AGAINST Democracy - AND up until 1942 I believe, the Army Field Training Manual explained democracy as an EVIL form of government. Sorry about the rant..
Ditto the last comment. The name is Harry Browne. "In general the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to the other." --Voltaire
"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another,no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office.
Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods." [H. L. Mencken]

You are asking people to THINK. It just won't happen.
