1824 is merely speculation on how a popular vote would have went, but the 1888 vote was clearly skewed in popular vs electoral. The more than 50% case was the one the Gore supporters have screamed the loudest over since 2000. Which to give hime credit was more of the vote that any democrat had gotten since Jimmy Carter in 76.
The popular/electoral disparity is because we only run the census every ten years, if we ran the census every even year and redistricted in the odd years we would not see as wide a gap as we saw in 2000. Never mind the fact that plenty of presidents have won without taking the popular vote.
The US Reform party is a mess right now, Perot, Perot, Buchannon, and Nader, basically the party ripped itself apart after the 96 election and its leadership has no connection to the Perot '92 voters.
Flat neighborhood networks, basically you get to use "cheap" cards and switches in a web configuration to provide a fast interconnect between nodes.
Other than that, a Cisco 6513 with 11 10/100/1000 48 port switch cards would fit the bill to provide a single chasis switch for all 500 nodes. Hope you've got a decent budget, because it will cost you.
umm, Newt got his welfare reform thanks to the government shutdown, Clinton had to do a hell of a lot of ass kissing in the 96 campaign to keep Jesse Jackson from tearing NY, LA, and Chicago apart.
Which will have a net chilling effect on congress, since neither party is going to have the votes to override his veto. A libertarian can dismatle government through Act of Congress or by choking off funding, either way, the size of government shrinks, a postitive for me.
They've already played the globaliztion game, had some success, some failures, now they are back to an island, part of an island, and another group of islands down on the other end of the planet.
Have you tried getting your gun ownership/voting rights back? I know at least 3 Ex Cons who can legaly own (but are still prohibited from Concealed Carry) in Kentucky, a letter to the Governor, signed by their PO, and a clean rap sheet for 7 years after the crime, took about a year to process. One of them is even a magistrate in a neighboring county (Think city comissioner/councilman/alderman)
XFree86 and Gnome have been waiting in the wings to replace Sun's X/CDE, Gnome on Solaris has been great, and I hear good things about the KDE builds, but have never tried them.
I guess the big question is if they are going to ship XFree or X.Org as the backend.
.256 Robertson is another great little rifle in that class, you can go a slightly heavier bullet or trim down to get some extra veloicity, handloaders have torn that one inside and out over the years because of its "tweener" status, not a.22, but not a.270/7mm.
People use.22 rimfire on deer where you come from? Yep, mostly against Does
In bow/muzzleloader season?? Yep
I trust you have reported them to the local Fish & Game people? Nope, three reasons. First these people are putting meat in their freezer not a head on the wall. Secondly, if the deer herd is thinned here, we might end up with some decent genetics and less competition to produce bigger bucks and a healthy herd. Third, I think our seasons are too restrictive as it stands,
especially when people are taking deer on their own land.
Though, frankly, a bow or muzzleloader can shoot farther than a.22 rimfire can drop a deer, so why bother? Like I said earlier, kill distances in this state average out to 50-60 yards during gun season, so range is not a factor.
They let you bait for deer too? Talk about uncivilized! We don't just cover the ground in corn and hay starting in september and quit after the season ends, we plant a crop in that field every year, which provides food for any critter that is rambling through the woods, ranging from ground squirel to deer, we just skim a little off the top during the fall. There has been corn and other crops (tobacco, hemp, and garden vegetables) planted there since 1841. Great, Great, Great, Great Grandad Childress settled there after clearing out of Ireland prior to the Potato Famine, it essentially has become part of the ecosystem.
As for your gun choices, the.243 is a good all around rifle here, people use it on everything from coyote and groundhog to deer, little more expensive to shoot than say.222 or even.30-06, but some people swear by it.
Imagine a LP president fighting a Congress that is close to even as it stands. He vetoes every spending bill, the two parties won't join hands against him to override the vetoes, so people figure out Uncle Sam can get by without providing a lot of the things they do today. The budget shrinks, pork is removed from spendng bills that do get passed, and the Federal Gov't goes back to what the Constitution says they are supposed to do, sounds like a win-win-win situation to me.
I've been corrected multiple times on the.223 mag, mea culpa
Kentucky allows any centerfire rifle cartidge.22 and over. Most people use.30-06, 7mm Mauser,.30-30 or Slug guns (Buckshot is illegal in KY). Engagement distances aren't the problem in KY, brush and cover are, so slugs can provide a little insurance, but don't require breaking out the >.308 artilery.
That being said, a large precentage of deer taken in KY are during bow/muzzleloader season with a.22 rimfire, drop the deer and then run the arrow through. We don't have monster deer here (200 pounders get in the state book, 180's are monsters in most places). Bucks in the 120-140 range are good kills. Part of the problem is we don't grow enough grain, deer don't live on tobacco, so food is an issue. Coyotes (feral dogs and coy-dogs mostly) Put a lot of pressure on all game in Central Kentucky.
I use a 8'x8' shed that has been raised 4' that covers a 3 acre food plot that various grains are grown in year to year (Corn/Soybeans in row crop, Winter Wheat/alfalfa sown in the fallow, sometimes mix in some oats and rye.) The longest engagement distance is 120 yards at a creek crossing the deer will travel over to get to the food, but my cousin shot one at less than 10 yards. Turns out we were the benficiaries of some asshole's coon hound that decided to make a that 8pt go for a morning jog, damn thing bounded right in front of him, 7mm Rem Mag out of a BAR with 140gr Hornady bullet.
Plus the billion Red chinese (actually just their government and the people coerced or brainwashed by them) probably wouldn't be happy with the US setting up shop in the neighborhood again.
and that's making it so law enforcement officers can do their job.
A LEO should not be basing tactical response based on appearance, if he is threatened, he should drop the suspect or run, his choice, based on circumstances. The reason I say this is there is something called the popsicle stick mod.
Basically, some imported chinese rifles (SKS's) can be modified into full auto operation using a spacer about the width of a popsicle stick. If you are caught with a modded SKS, you go to prison for a very long term and/or you get burned alive inside your church/house (See FBI vs Branch Davidian's, 93). The thing is there is a custom market for these cheap rifles that range from mild (new stock but fitting the original lines) to wild (Mod kits to look like many military arms ranging from M-16's to Enfield L85's and others). Any hostile arms brandishing should be met with overwhelming force by the LEO, not ooh that gun looks dangerous or that gun looks harmless, any gun on the streets today is deadly given good shot selection, even weaklings like.25 ACP,.32 ACP, or.22 rimfire
I'd like to see serious proposals by the NRA for how we solve the problems that cause others to call for firearm bans. You mean overinflated gun crime statistics, lax enforcement of current laws, and big time problems caused by people who shouldn't have guns in the first place (Hinkley, Kliebold, Harris, The DC sniper kid).
Going back to the 60's, the orginal argument of gun control groups was Sniper Rifles like Lee Harvey Oswald used are too accurate (Never mind the fact that the 6.5mm swede has never been known as a accurate cartidge). Fast Forward to the 70's, "Saturday Night Specials" were cheap and inaccurate. In the 80's, we had the Reagan/Brady shooting by Hinkley, done with a 6 shot revolver and the Stockton shooting, which was done with a full auto AK-47, which was illegal since 1934 and reaffirmed in 1968! The assualt weapons ban brought in the 10 round rule, except for old magazines. And the Brady Bill brought draconian background checks for all firearms (Since repaired now that we have instant bg checks, when they work), but Hinkley had owned his gun for years.
If the anti-gunners can come up with reasonable arguments and solutions that do not restrict my 2nd ammendment rights, we can talk.
Did not relize the 68 law covered all foreign made full auto's, so how did full auto AK's make it into the US, even if every GI from 1962-68 picked them up off the field in Vietnam, they couldn't get them back home without some trickery, and there's no way uncle sam would have allowed their legal importation prior to 86, we were trying to starve the Soviets?
BFD, An real full auto AK is restricted under the NFA of 1934, a semi auto AK is nothing more that an weaker cousin to any other 7.62mm semi-auto rifle on the planet, I (and every other american) should be able to own it no fuss, no muss.
Semi-Automatic: One pull of the trigger, one round fired
Burst/Select Fire: One pull of the trigger fires 2-5 rounds, the MP5N and M16A2 IIRC uses a three round burst
Fully Automatic: One pull of the trigger fires the gun until the trigger is released or it runs out of ammo.
The article linked is incorrect that the AK-47 (and other fully automatic and select fire weapons ie M16, L85, M60, Uzi's, FNFAL, AK-74 and their chinese ripoffs , HK G36, G21, G11, and G53 series rifles, Glock 17 pistols) were banned as a result of the Assault Weapons Ban, it is actully banned under the 1934 National Firearms Act. To posses these weapons today, you must have a Class III Federal Firearms Licence, which includes a massive federal background check, and pay $150 tax per weapon.
The assualt weapons only covers weapons that look different than a traditional deer rifle, there is no functional difference between a AR-15 (semi auto version of the M16) and a Deer rifle you could buy at walmart, they fire the same ammo (.223 Remington Magnum), as fast as you can pull the trigger.
