Because 'might makes right', eh? I taught my kids that reason makes right, and never had to beat them, even once. [They always were smart, though]

First, I agree that the officer simply used more force than needed to accomplish the job. Not only does that foster disrespect for law enforcement, it risks injury to the person being arrested, detained, whatever - it's much smarter to avoid the risk. Second, regarding Turtle's comment that...

Those "damning new revelations" are a joke, seriously. IF she lied, that's an inherent part of any diplomatic job, and you will defend it vigorously when the lie suits your purpose. Politicians telling the truth at all times is never going to happen, nor would we want it to happen. Particularly...

Anyone who has ever tried to sell anything understands that the sole definition of "worth" is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. It has zero to do with anything else.

The same Republicans who are continually adding more government regulation to a woman's health care [a place where they have no business], among other things. And power should be decentralized, except when it can't be, because the states can't accomplish some pretty important things without the...

What liberals hate is not "the rich", [there are plenty of rich people I respect and admire tremendously: Stephen King, Denzel Washington, Steve Buscemi, Gary Sinise, to name a few]. What liberals hate is the use of power to harm others, and the rich simply have more opportunities to do that...

Also watch the amount of biofuel in the diesel: Indiana and Illinois use a higher % than most, which will cause gelling at a higher temp than most. If you get fuel with more bio in cold temps, use the antigel sooner than you might otherwise. And keep some Diesel 911 handy, just in case.

Happy birthday, Ken!

That movie is on my list, ASAP. One of my all time favorite books is "The Sparrow", by Mary Doria Russell, [which I didn't read for months after someone gave it to me, because it was about 'Jesuits in Space', lol, and that'll teach me about judging a book by it's blurb], in which SETI finally...

For most of us, once your view of a company has changed to a dark one, it doesn't matter, because we won't stay with them. Companies who change policies & practices without considering the effect on those who work with them risk losing good people. It's managerial incompetence to not anticipate...

I believe he would, because there's not much worse than suspecting someone you trust [to whatever degree] isn't worth it. You really want to know, one way or the other. If you're correct, you want to change things, and if you're wrong, it would be a relief to know it. And yes, Phil did "flap...

I think that if you really want to stay busy running hard, you will be frustrated and disappointed in expediting. TL [truckload] and LTL [less than truckload] carriers can keep you busy and running hard, with computers to preplan trips, maximizing efficiency, balancing everything against federal...

Since that's pretty much the cause of the potholed horrors, it seems only fair to employ it as the solution, no? :rolleyes:

He said 'spoonfeeding their favorite trucks." This isn't a new complaint, either, as several others have said that loads are offered to FedEx owned trucks ahead of independent owners. True or not, it was their perception, and at least 2 good teams have left because of it. If they were...

The rant over sitting too much says you didn't know what you were doing when you chose FedEx, because it's pretty well known that they don't utilize solos as much as teams. The comment to Dynamite says you don't know much about EO, either, lol. It's what you don't know that can hurt you, you...

How about the same things that prove anything? Facts. Just the facts, Jack.;)

How can they spend money on roads when they continually spend it on tax breaks and incentives to any & every business that promises to bring jobs? And if/when said promises aren't kept, who knows? Not the legislators who voted to give them the money, because they don't attach any requirements to...

I can't find any "interviews" with people who chose to withdraw from the food stamp program because they don't want to work, so where are they? [Anecdotal we can all find, that's not what you meant, right?] I can find plenty of evidence that unemployed people do want to work, though. Today's...

Wow - you just know that those who dropped out "didn't want to do any of it", huh? It's not even a possibility that some [maybe many] were perfectly willing to comply, but were rejected for employment [for any one of a dozen reasons], and training [lack of interest, ability, or possibly the...

I don't think living longer is as good as living stronger: quality over quantity. ;)
