    If everyone had a handgun, we wouldn't need as many cops.

    It is pretty funny hearing one side arguing against people making generalizations (about protesters) in the defense of someone else who is making generalizations about the other side (cops).

    Actually, his story sounds like BS anyways. It was stolen over a year ago, but apparently had a current tag (otherwise it would have been pulled over already). So then apparently, the tag was applied for and paid for and no one noticed it had been stolen, but some cops saw it at a hotel and figured out. Even if it had been less than a year and the story is legit. Let's see how you react if your job means going into bad hotel rooms and wondering if someone is going to shoot at you.

    Of course if FDR had never interfered and "guaranteed" that every home no matter how remote would have power, where would we be?

    Could the market have possibly provided small independent power generation solutions for all the remote demand that existed?
    could we have had viable wind or solar solutions powering homes 20-30 years ago?

    But of course, with the government subsidizing the massive infrastructure costs and providing those 60 years of "working" system without making the end user pay the real costs, why on earth would we need independent power production? (until now)

    We let the government take over things that should have been provided locally, and now we get upset when corporations do the same thing?

    The last place I worked at was a pretty small shop. We named a couple of the machines after South Park characters based on what they did. Chef served up the mail. Cartman was the big fat production server. Kyle didnt really do anything but puke once in a while. Kenny was the test/development server. (Oh my God, you killed Kenny! You Bastard!)
