    It's My Life ... !

    The government forces us to pay taxes and then uses that money for other than what the constitution allows for. Any taxation is a loss of liberty. Don't assume that if I don't like paying taxes because of their ultimate use, that I am either greedy or self-centered. The only role of government...

    It's My Life ... !

    Willingly caring for the poor, sick and hungry is not progressivism, it's compassion. Forcing people to care for the poor, sick and hungry is progressivism. The constitution ensures liberty by limiting the federal government. All other rules/laws can be handled at the most local level possible...

    Obamacare: Freedom on life support ...

    Yes, that is tyranny. "Federal Mandate" means nothing without the support of the constitution. I will try again : The federal government ONLY has the ability to make laws that are in article 1 section 8 of the constitution that are not in conflict with section 9 or amendments. All other rights...

    Is it my bulb or my ballast?! help decide!

    I'll take a stab at this. I believe your HPS ballast failed and fried one of the flouro's ballast through a power surge. It's possible you had an external power surge that damaged both, but I doubt it since you have a surge protector. The fact that your bulb is glowing blue is due to a small...

    Protect teh Childrenz!!

    You may have missed the point. Government Worker unions should be abolished. Private Business unions serve a purpose. Unions only work when there is PROFIT to share. The government has no profit, only the taxpayer to rely on. Our 'representatives' don't seem to be able to stand up to these...

    Protect teh Childrenz!!

    Totally agree with this, but. The actual result of 'recognizing' special interest groups, divides the country. Doesn't matter if it's black history month, it's divisive, implying that some special group deserves it's own recognition. How about a moment of silence for lives lost in war, or...

    Obamacare: Freedom on life support ...

    Yes, it's unconstitutional. "The constitutional basis of the Social Security Act was uncertain. The basic problem is that under the "reserve clause" of the Constitution (the 10th Amendment) powers not specifically granted to the federal government...

    Bagseed...Does It Exist?

    Sure, the stuff that flows up from the south mainly. Mexico. All about the location I guess. I'll try not to be jealous.

    Attention Atheist

    Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen (Ephesians 4:29).

    Attention Atheist

    Facts -> Theory / Math -> Truth <- Belief <- Faith | <- Philosophy -> Let me propose a "theory" : FACT is a piece of knowledge that is not in dispute and comes directly from a measurable source. There is a fossil that looks like a person but is not...

    this comes as no surprise, ...

    I don't have issue with a private citizen using free speech as they wish. Could be hate speech.. but it doesn't matter. I don't even really care about the divisiveness, not until she actually has political power of some kind. Then it is counter-productive to good policy and governance...

    As far as the actions of the university , and the potential use of public funding. That is an issue they will have to explain, the document only shows her as greedy, demanding, etc. You may dislike her and everything that she says, but what is different than Ahmadinejad speaking at Columbia ...

    She deserves the fees that the market will bear. She could be selling snake-oil, it wouldn't matter. This is not wasteful government spending, it's just free-market capitalism. I wouldn't pay $500 bucks, but someone will.

    Can I Get a Suntan Hanging Out with My Girls under the Hps Lights?

    I believe the cancer risk comes from the UV emissions from mercury vapor in these lamps. MH lamps get most of their light from mercury emissions ( lots of UV ), where HPS lamps get most of the light from sodium emissions ( which has no UV* ). The glass envelope blocks a lot of UV, but not all...

    20 Ways ObamaCare Will Take Away Our Freedoms

    The only reason capitalism appears to be failing is that it no longer is capitalism in this country. It's been eroded by progressive policies over many years. We are just rolling downhill fast now, that's all.

    20 Ways ObamaCare Will Take Away Our Freedoms

    You are being a little harsh on someone who is truly contributing to the economy. I think any small business is a great thing, regardless of the owner's political views. :-P
