    The Lessons of Blowback

    Well the thing that is forgotten is that Pakistan holds more problems for us than does Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq combined. Many forget the nukes they have, thinking they too are backwards thinking people in a country that is not in our century but there is a lot more to them than we, the...

    Another Attack on the constitution.

    Well first off there is no separation of church and state with the issue of telling what a church can hire or not hire, this puts them into a labor issue and not a religious issue. Second, the EEOC is following their guidelines and going after an entity which falls under the laws of the state...

    CVSA’s Operation Safe Driver set for Oct. 16-22

    I thought this already started with the number of cops pulling trucks over in Indiana and Michigan.

    Another Attack on the constitution.

    There's no "attack", it is a case that is to define the limitations of the EEOC which is a good thing. You notice where this happened?

    ACLU: Killing US born al-Quieda

    Well you can blame the commission for their report, they reported back to congress and congress acted for a number of issues. BUT if you want to put the blame on anyone for 9/11, it isn't with the things that came out of the church commission but the building of the intel wall by Gerelick, Reno...

    ACLU: Killing US born al-Quieda

    The amazing thing is we had the Church commission and legal limits set on the CIA for the purpose of controlling their actions with US citizens, or is that forgotten? The U.S. chose not to avail itself of that option. Tracking al-Awlaki down and capturing him alive in Yemen would be near...

    Is U.S. Manufacturing Coming Back?

    OK It started with a 'K' I admit I wasn't listening in the little presentation. BUT here is the problem that many may not get - expanding production with labor in mind as in the UAW thing may be a problem if things get worse. When the modern companies like Toyota and Honda setup manufacturing...

    What is distracted driving?

    Well there is a BIG difference between a pilot and a truck driver. OK of course you have to compensate for the plane's movement, adjust your trim and scan your gauges to a point but if you take your training to another level to say Instrument Flying, then you have to train yourself to be...

    tricking the qc

    Some of those units can get access to the "control panel" to install the drivers and if you are nice to your company IT people, they can push the install to the unit through qualcomm. The joys of being cheap and developing on MS mobile OS.

    Is U.S. Manufacturing Coming Back?

    I'm hearing the transit will come out of Kentucky. The Mazda plant is not being closed, Mazda won't return production to Japan just yet but who knows.

    R.I.P. Steve Jobs

    Well I think my point is that the world is not better without him but at the same time, he has impacted our lives as much as others have without the cult type of following that he created for his company and himself - not taking a thing away from it. I don't know how else to say it. I would...

    R.I.P. Steve Jobs

    I got to ask you guys, why is he so important? It is a sad day that another fellow human died, especially with his type of Cancer but you know he was a salesman and nothing more to many of us.

    Is U.S. Manufacturing Coming Back?

    I heard today there is a movement to do this with China and it is all just like 1930 and how hoover saw a way out of the depression by raising tariffs which pretty much killed the economy. The republicans would better serve the country by staying the hell out of the issue.

    Is U.S. Manufacturing Coming Back?

    I won't put much credence in that, I think they control quality better in Mexico on a number of different levels and don't have to fight the workers or the union on training or QA issues. I spent a little time on a GM line late yesterday afternoon and got to tell you I would not buy one of...

    Another group jumps on band wagon to ban cell phones

    I said this before and I think it needs to be said again in public and many many times - the reason the accident that happened that killed these people has less to do with texting and more to do with the four hours he got in the 24 hours before he marked his log "on-duty, driving". If any one...

    It's Sad What Happened at FedEx CC

    OK I guess I will be jumped on for this but I thought this was about the sad thing that happened at FedEx with the wall of fame, not Phil leaving? FedEx is evolving, which is a good thing ... for us who hold stock in the company.

    What is distracted driving?

    Linda, when it comes to these stats, they seem to be an aggregate of all of the accident reports with some being assumptions, not facts. This is illustrated with the justification of the sleep apnea requirements we go through, the studies done on accidents don't include valid truck related...

    Is U.S. Manufacturing Coming Back?

    But it seems to me that the idea that there is a need to make it a freindly place is actualyl a false premise seeing that we are seeing a return of jobs, most of them through government money thrown at some of these companies. Nissan is like other companies who see both a surplus of labor and...

    ACLU: Killing US born al-Quieda

    OK I guess you missed the point altogether, even though I tried to put it in context during a pre-coffee morning. It does not matter what the founding fathers meant by the equality of men what matters is they lived in a time where a tyrannical king was out of control and they were not...
