I feel terrible both for missing the meetup and not realizing it was national bourbon day!  Cheers to you all, I have some late celebrations to attend to.  :-)

My mom's advice was obviously flawed, many apologies!  :-)

I am very interested in your story.....unfortunately I even struggle with writing comments on Ricochet.   :-)  Keep the updates coming brother!

God Bless Felicia.....it's amazing that recovery from these kind of disasters can in many ways restore some faith in humanity.

Wow...just wow.

Well said!!  FYI, I will be stealing that definition of a leader and claiming it as my own!

It is my experience that most of the Americans flocking to take those high paying manual labor jobs would promptly fail their pre-employment drug screen........so good luck with that.

I would much rather have a snake than hippie infestation.....

That's interesting because the libertarian/conservative back and forth is one of the primary things I find enjoyable here.  There is no substantive debate to be had with liberals  at this point and I learn more from differing opinions than from an echo chamber.  I also wasn't aware that Fred Cole is an editor, although he is definitely paranoid about being called a hypocrite.

I think Dr. Sowell is primarily addressing how to decide on government policy, not how an individual farmer or company should behave.  What one does in a specific business example is not the same as how the country should formulate economic or immigration policies affecting that same business.  If you are in a competitive environment you can't put yourself at a disadvantage by deciding to pay all your employees $10 more an hour than everyone else in the hopes of attracting  American citizens.  Would you want to bet your house that more American's will do manual labor if only their pay was higher??? 

1,300 rounds??!?!?!  So that's where all the ammo is! 

Yes, I think Rob's response to all questioning about his involvement with Ricochet are along the lines of "I can't recall".  :-)

1. Toll roads are an abomination and I avoid them whenever possible.

2.  How did you get a picture of my speedometer?

Guinness!!

I'm sure it's safe and just to be clear, any and all posts I may have made referring to firearms I own were purely hypothetical.
