The New Gunner: "If it's legal, it's legal, so quit yer bitchin'"
It implies no such thing! Only a slug receiving largesse from some other
citizen would consider the transfer from some other citizen by force to be promoting the "general welfare". Stealing from one to give to another has never been, nor should it ever be legal. Liberals!... geeze! George Willer The phrase "and general Welfare of the United States" implies "taking money from some people to give to others". Charity is a completely different concept. You may engage in charity as well as paying your taxes if you wish, but don't mither about what your government does legally with your taxes. Have a nice weekend Regards Mark Rand RTFM |

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. When was the original trial? Where was it held? Who sat on the jury? Good question. I don't remember, or I don't know. Same difference. And while we're on the topic, what happened to Eric Rudolph? Where is he? What is happening with him?

I only drink Diet. Lots of aspartamine...G and caffeine, no sugar. Personally, I cannot abide _any_ diet drinks. (I semi-abided Tab, back in the 60s, though I of course hardly needed diet drinks in those years. But then the Feds forced "cyclamates" out and saccharine in, and saccharine has an aftertaste I can't stand.) So what do I drink? Water. Water at restaurants, water at fast food places (saves a lot of money!), and water at home. Or beer, wine, or bourbon. But I never buy diet drinks. Rarely, I will order a soft drink, in which case it's usually Dr. Pepper or Mountain Dew, sometimes Coke, and, when available, Vernors. (Vernors is a ginger ale, more available in grocery stores than at soda fountains in fast food places. I first had it in Isla Vista, the town next to UC Santa Barbara.) But mostly I drink water. This seems safer than drinking Allah-knows-what in commercial soft drinks. And a lot cheaper. For caffeine, I take caffeine tablets, e.g., Vivarin, Sta-Awake, Jet Alert, No-Doz, etc. A pity Big Brother has illegalized amphetamines...my father used to tell me how often he used them in college. Paying $2.75 "plus a generous tip" for a doube double decaf plus a twist of lemon is a Gen-X scam. I drink water. Water tastes good. Water is what my cat likes. Water is the water of life. --Tim May |

I just reread my mortgage, and I couldn't find the part where I would be FORCED to pay anything. A mortgage is a contract for a loan secured by the property being mortgaged. If I don't pay, the bank has the option of taking posession of my house. Similarly, if I should decide that I don't want my house anymore (and it's not advantageous for me to sell it), I can stop paying the bank, and they can exersise their option to take posession. This was actually common practice in the late 1980s, and the undoing of several lending institutions.

Life is risky. Biology is complicated. Because a drug approved for use in around 1960 turned out to have unforeseen side-effects, the whole FDA turned ultra-ultra-conservative: "no new drug approved short of 5 years's worth of testing on rabbits, then 4 years' worth of testing on primates, then possible, conditional, tenuous approval for humans." The first drugs approved for humans after the thalidomide scare were after I was in college. Tens of millions died in the 60s and 70s because the FDA was afraid of making another thalidomide mistake.
