I'd put it in the bank and live comfortably off of the interest for the rest of my life - and I'd keep working just like I am now.

Yay!




Do it again!

Alright... as much as I'd like to let this go on all day long because I love discussing politics with you guys - you all know the rules.

Please make it stop, or convince Chris and the gang to let us have a special area to continue it in or something - but don't make me use the stupid padlock crap...

Everyone keeps telling me the same thing...

Any day now...

To come back with the suggestion that Democrats would make an inane decision and Republicans would make a good one is absurd for several reasons, but I'll list just a couple:  1) it presumes a connection between "judicial philosophy" and declared political allegiance.  Despite the conservatives' best efforts, the judiciary is an apolitical branch of government.  With some notable exceptions impertinent to this discussion, liberalism and conservatism are vastly different notions in the courts than on the beltway;

You have got to be joking.  Or high.  I am done disputing this absurd claim of your's by mentioning just a single recent case that everybody knows about.  Ready?

Nah, he's just telling you about the law, since he kind of knows a thing or two about the legal system.

Gore vs. Bush, Florida 2000

Decided purely right down party lines - First in the Florida Supreme Court where that kangaroo court of 7 purely liberal judges gave it to Gore, and then again when appealed all the way to the Federal Supreme Court, where thank God sanity prevailed.

Game.  Set.  Match.

The 2000 election was a decidedly political event with the biggest prize in the world at stake.   Myspace.com pales in comparisson.  But in the case of 2000, the 7 purely liberal judges were the state court - and it was a state issue.  Kathrine Harris (R) jumping in and inventing the law as she went sure didn't hurt much either.

And to think I cut him over two guys who I've cut since...

I'm kicking myself...

I've never removed the jacket from a figure...  My preference is either a well-done soft goods, like most of the VOTC stuff has been (ala vintage general lando's cape).  If not, Agen Kolar's robe was very well done.

Take that a step further, how many of them are posting here...or work/go to school with you? 

This is not a failsafe, but everyone with children should use it:

I think I started a thread about it a few months back when I first found a similar site.

Obviously it won't tell you about all the dangers because people who are on their first go at this kind of thing and people who haven't been caught yet aren't in the database, and not every one of these pervs are assaulting children, but it's a must for parents.

There are 61 REGISTERED sex offenders in my zip code according to that link.   

According to this one:  http://www.familywatchdog.us/  , in what looks to be about a 3 and a half mile radius of me, there are 1,149 registered sex offenders.  Granted I live in the heart of a major metropolitan area and there are lots and lots of people here, but still....

1149

The freakiest part is seeing little dots near schools and ****.  If you click on the dots you can generally get names and addresses and in most cases even pictures of the offenders. 

The closest one to me is a little over half a mile away:  Lonnie Dye:



Within a block of him are Joe Hubbard, Kenneth Bogda, and someone named Camilo Balderas (no photo).



Creepy stuff.
