Gunner's medical bills

No doubt Gunner is responding with *his* nutbag ideology. But if there was a better illustration of the perversity of these arguments and the effects of ideological obsession upon the character of the people who hold such positions, it's hard to think of a clearer one than this. -- Ed Huntress (remove "3" from email address for email reply) Ed... what would you expect... Reference is made to the numerous posts from December 27 and December 28, in this forum. Synopsis Tim May is a racist. Tim May stated he is a felon. Tim May stated that he owns numerous firearms and will kill anyone who tries to take them away. Tim May stated that he expects to have a shot out with cops. Tim May stated that certain people need "killing". Tim May stated that he lives on a farm and is waiting for the either BATF or the cops, and he is ready for them. Mister Blue's Investigation Since Tim May was so proud of his racism, his felony conviction and his guns, I asked him to send me his DOB, address and list of firearms in his possession. If I confirmed that he was indeed a convicted felon, I told him I would forward the information to ATF and request a warrant for his arrest. I even volunteered to sign the affidavit, even though I am not a federal agent. Other than using very foul language and suggesting that I should be killed, Tim May chickened out and did not provide me with the information I needed to conduct a criminal records check. However, I did run some generic records checks today using the names Timothy May, Timmy May and Tim May. I located some 214 possible subjects in the United States using some variation of the name Timothy May. Because I did not have our Tim May's DOB, I cannot be sure if I have located the proper subject, but I think I found our guy. Tim May, would be kind enough to respond to this post and answer one question? do you live near the canyon? Mister Blue Could this be true... could the future leader and Great White Hope of hte wolrd reside in Santa Cruz in the mountains? Mike |

The New Gunner: "If it's legal, it's legal, so quit yer bitchin'"
In article , Alan Moore
wrote: So now we see the bottom line: if it's legal, it's legal, and people shouldn't complain. Correction. If it's legal, it's legal, and if you want to complain, you should refrain from calling it illegal. After all, your right to complain is enshrined in the bill of rights. But it won't do you any good to complain if you undercut yourself by denying reality. Speaking of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, taking money from the citizens to hand out to others, for whatever noble reason, was precisely what Sen. David Crockett was talking about in his famous speech. Saying money is "taken illegally" is reflecting this usage, that the taking of money to give to others is NOT A POWER GOVERNMENT HAS, according to the U.S. Constitution. I quote from the Old Gunner Testament here (the New Gunner Testament, as with the Bible, has a completely different, pussified version): From: Gunner ) Subject: OT-Not yours to give Newsgroups: alt.machines.cnc, rec.crafts.metalworking Date: 2001-12-02 10:06:02 PST NOT YOURS TO GIVE From The Life of Colonel David Crockett, compiled by Edward S. Ellis (Philadelphia: Porter & Coates, 1884) David Crockett From another newsgroup, for your reading pleasure Member of Congress 1827-31, 1832-35 One day in the House of Representatives, a bill was taken up appropriatingmoney for the benefit of a widow of a distinguished naval officer. Several beautiful speeches had been made in it's support. The Speaker was just about to put the question when Crockett arose: "Mr. Speaker-- I have as much respect for the memory of the deceased, and as much sympathy for the suffering of the living, if suffering there be, as any man in this House, but we must not permit our respect forthe dead or our sympathy for a part of the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living. I will not go into an argument to prove that Congress has no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every member upon this floor knows it. We have the right, as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right so to appropriate a dollar of the public money. --rest snipped-- Article recoverable in the usual ways, e.g., by searching on "gunner "david crockett"" in Google Groups. Here's that search URL, for those too lazy or too dumb to use Google: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ff&threadm=k_A O7.129%24cG4.231501%40news.uswest.net&rnum=3&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dgunner%2 B%2522david%2Bcrockett%2522%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie %3DUTF-8%26safe%3Doff% 26scoring%3Dd%26selm%3Dk_AO7.129%2524cG4.231501%25 40news.uswest.net%26rn um%3D3 |

Gunner's medical bills - Mexican dental and medical.
I've been going to Mexico for dental for years. I met up with a
dentist when my kids and I used to help with the Tecate 250 Enduro. He's a great guy, motorcyclist, mountain bike racer, slips in some dentristry too and his wife is an oral surgeon. It's nice, for me, when I can take a couple hours off from work and cruise out to Tecate on the scooter. I did get a speeding ticket last time though but, including the ticket, the crown was only a little over half the cost of up here. JohnF On Wed, 23 Jun 2004 13:26:16 -0700, "Bart D.

I think pretty soon consumers will start outsourcing medical care as well. I'm suprised that doctors have not set up clinics in mexico or canada, catering to the US clientel.

No, Santa Cruz was a pretty nice place until the mid-60s, which is when the UC campus was opened, and the hippies arrived. On my road alone we have residents like "Locatelli," the long-term family in the Santa Cruz area, and "Tindall," the origin of the "Tindall Ranch Road" up above Eureka Canyon.

There are several aspects of our freedoms under attack by the media and
schools: 1) religion, substituting a mixture of science and government worship 2) capitalism, substituting socialism: putting some people's needs over some other people's right to private property 3) gun owners, substituting government protections for self defense and ending defense from government 4) education, substituting liberal indoctrination for learning salable skills 5) freedom of speech, substituting political correctness In other words, we may have beaten the Soviet Union, but we have also ingested it. But just like the video cassettes of Dallas and police beatings circulated on the black market in the USSR before the government collapse, likewise we have the Drudge Report on the internet, FOX news on cable, and right wing radio on the AM dial to react to the excesses of the media elites.

Jim I agree , must have woke up the household LOL at 3 this morning. I've been kicking around the idea of going to Mexico to get some things done. It would take a couple of weeks to hit the beach in TX. and then I don't know enough spanish. How can one do self surgery? I heard somewhere on TV that you can get prescription drugs on the net without a prescription. Is it possible to get liquid morphine or novocain ? I have a number of objects in my hands and feet and have tried biting down on leather and digging , but it hurts too much. Plus how do you find it if you can't feel it? The doctor before last wouldn't touch the bump on my finger saying that he didn't want a 2 million $ law suit. He recommended a hand doctor and said it would cost between 3 & 6 thousand dollars ! He said he would defer his fee and is still trying to get his $100 from me. I don't see why I should pay someone that openly says they are a chicken ****. I had about $1500 in my pocket. The last doctor I went to with a couple of problems said that she had never seen anything like it before and everything else was nothing to worry about. I almost lost it on her. Something like visions of being arrested stopped me. I'm starting to wonder if they really are PHD's. Hell, my wife's pets get better medical care than I do. Maybe I should take a damn the torpedoes vacation and go to Mexico. I heard a lot of good things about doctors and dentists across the border when I use to live right there. |

Please! He was the Unabomber, IIRC. Un-i-bomber, as in "University" bomber. No, the earlier correct was right. Here's but one of many cites, including books, including FBI files, including the court transcripts: "The Definitive UNABOM Page - Unabomber Information * * * Over the course of 18 years (1978-1995), "the Unabomber", generally accepted to be Ted Kaczynski acting alone, placed or mailed 23 package bombs. These bombs killed 3 and wounded 16. As the first targets were UN-iversities and A-irlines, the FBI gave the case the name UNABOM. The FBI was finally able to apprehend Kaczynski thanks to his brother David and David's wife Linda who recognized the writing in "Industrial Society and Its Future" (aka "The Manifesto") which the FBI finally decided to let the Washington Post publish. * * * His federal trial resulted in the sentence of multiple life terms in the SuperMax prison in Colorado. Kaczynski requested an appeal, hoping to get a re-trial in which he is able to defend himself (which he originally requested permission to do on January 8, 1998), but the request was denied (2-1) in Feb 2001 and TK will now have to try the US Supreme Court. By appealing, TK has decided he would rather risk receiving a death- sentence than live out his days in prison diagnosed as mentally ill (he insists he is not, only that he had a very difficult time with social adjustment as a kid). (Update 8/01: Appeal denied.) His book has been postponed indefinitely, but his allegory was published in 1999.

Anyhow, from the information Tim May posted, it looks like Teddy has elected to "opt-out" of the human race ( not that he hadn't already, but this time in body as well as spirit ). Seems like prison is getting to him. Don't blame the guy really. Nothing to look forward to except death from old age. Very depressing. He is now going to try to commit Death by the State, opening up a vulnerability to his Life in Prison without parole status, so he will become eligible for the Needle of No Return. It really has to suck to be in SuperMax. I can't imagine, except what comes to mind is being enclosed in a broom closet for the rest of your life. I would opt-out also. Lg |

But evidently, Teddy is slowly? going bonkers sitting in what must be a goldfish bowl, with no way out. Now you and I can't imagine what that must be like. I mean, it is literally being *buried alive,* with no chance to die, cause the guards won't let you. Now it is just my idea, based on what Mr May posted, that Teddy has given up. He is sick and tired of the same old same old, and has a mind to check out of the building. And the only way out of SuperMax is in a hearse, unless you work there. So by going to the Supreme Court, and re-opening his case, his previous arrangements for life in prison without parole are subject to becoming null and void. It would be, in effect, a new trial, and thusly, any arrangements under the old terms of agreement wouldn't necessarily be part of the equation. It is Suicide by State, that teddy is looking for. They won't let him kill himself in his goldfish bowl, so he is going to try to get the State to do it for him cause he can't take the punishment of confinement any longer. There are plenty of precedents for this exact thing happening. I can't remember where, Florida I think, another inmate just did the exact same thing. And he got his wish. He was executed by lethal injection. Lg opening up a vulnerability to his Life in Prison without parole status, so he will become eligible for the Needle of No Return. It really has to suck to be in SuperMax. I can't imagine, except what comes to mind is being enclosed in a broom closet for the rest of your life. I would opt-out also. Lg |

In article , Strabo
wrote: It is not slavery, any more than imprisoning people is slavery, or having them fulfill military contracts is slavery. You need to reread the definitions. A person who owes should work it off. Forced work equals slavery, by any definition. No, it is fulfillment of a contract, a debt. A person owing a mortgage on a house, for example, is "forced" to come up with the money, usually by working. Slavery is a substantially different concept that either indentured servitude (which I of course support) or fullfillment of a debt. Reasons left for people to think about. You have benefitted from this debt money system and largely by circumstance. If as a child you had not gone to certain schools that exposed you to certain subjects that led you to desire a particular education, you could be less wealthy. And if you had not the means to attend the schools that taught you the trade that you pursued that placed you in a position of sufficient money which you then invested for a big return, you would be less wealthy. You owe much to timing and circumstance. Even as a self-proclaimed libertarian you remain as conflicted as Gunner, each of you driven by unresolved internal biases. Fatuous nonsense.

Here's the text: " The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. " This enumeration language means that while the Constitution outlines broad powers to coin money, regulate commerce between the states (*), form treaties, raise an army in times of war, and some other things, it does NOT have any enumerated power to hand out money as welfare. (Needless to say, the Brit who claimed that "provide for the general welfare," in the preamble, means "welfare" in the dole sense, is greatly misinformed about the words and what they mean.) (* By the way, "regulate commerce between the states" in in the sense of tariffs and trade restrictions, saying the states could not act as independent countries and create trade barriers and tariffs between states, that only the Federal government could regulate commerce. It has _nothing_ to do with the Federal government regulating what people charge for goods, for example, or racial discrimination, as it was later incorrectly used to regulate, as in the Ollie's BBQ case.) As for welfare and doles, the Old Gunner used to quote Sen. David Crockett on this matter. Crockett was absolutely right: the Constitution does not provide for such welfare payments. --Tim May |

Here's the text: " The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. " umm, no, they have the previously mentioned power to spend money like a drunken sailor. It is up to US to stop them. WE choose not to. All money ends up in some persons hand for some reason or another, why it ended up there really is not a constitutional issue. Unfortunate, but true. |

A big part of the reason drugs are less expensive in Mexico and Canada is because the drugs imported _into_ those countries (by Pfizer, Merck, etc.) don't carry the "FDA approval, regulation, and litigation premium" that drugs sold in America are forced by market conditions to carry. Buyers in Mexico are not expected to pay for the horrrendously expensive American approval and regulation costs, so they don't. If W proposed eliminating the FDA tomorrow, the first in line to stop him would be the drug companies. Drug prices are not caused by anything other than supply and demand. The 'costs' per unit over 17 years are pennies. If we didn't have the fda, someone would invent it. Libertarians seem to have a ten year memory, anything that happened longer than that doesn't exist. The FDA didn't just 'become' it is there for a reason. "patent medicine" Corporations don't have a conscience, they are not supposed to . Litigation is a problem, but until we stop stocking congress with lawyers, it won't go away |

income taxes did not begin then, they had been around for some years, but a series of court cases resulted in the amendment being passed to moot court rulings Actually, it may not imply that.
