SRY, my misspelling of athiest is left over rote practice from trying to make it rhyme with priest for fun and profit.

Sorry, I am as unwilling to let Santorum or Romney represent the face of Christianity, as I am willing to let you represent athiests. Perhaps if you had a few years of religious study and some obscure factual insight beyond the usual dime-machine philosophy regurgitated by this generation of " I read it so it must be true" athiests, who are really no better than the "Christianish trained" generation who have no more concept of their literature than you.
Nothing to see here, move along....

A little like a fallacy. since 90k lb. loads require special "lowboy" trailers with extra sets of tires and believe me, you notice these.
Speaking as a shipping professional with more experience than many of you have in breathing, it's not hard to put two plus two together.
1. During anytime of day in any metropolitan area, the same local truck drivers network the city on sameish routes. These guys note who is out and anything strange they see like funny looking trailers pulled by drivers they don't recognise.
2.This whole concept deals with a government bureaucracy doing something outside an office and claiming some degree of success in their efforts. Bullshit! See #1.
3. Unless they got an experienced driver and trained him to be a Fed, his driving is going to stand out to other drivers like a neon sign that says IDIOT to other experienced drivers.
4. Martin Mariettas payloaders are going to have to be dissembled to load anyway. If it's big it will go on a flatbed with a "box-tent-cover or just a tarp. Not too subtle. If it's small and can be forklifted in, it can go in a box trailer and be hidden.
5. The government is made of bigger bunglers than you work with, they did after all have to choose an employer that seldom fires for anything just to have a job for more than a week.

So, you see, this story is just so much gov.public image meant to lul you into that secure feeling. Working?

Can't speak for the chronically organized "YHVH" religions, but I'm guessing it has something to do with" casting pearls before swine". While not very "Jesus-like", they are warned not to waste that which is precious on those who would trod on the act.
They also misconstrue the Jesus-message to turn the other cheek in the face of wrath to mean they are to take it up the butt in every instance. Remember, this is the Jesus who cleared the temple of merchants with a rod in his hand, the macho whoopass Christ.
For everything there is a season, they really need to figure out what, and why and when, then, apply it. BTW, I don't see the "Muslims (with their Judeo-derivative religion) even acknowledging human rights ,let alone controlling their extremists. We control our "Christian Identity" "The Way" and other dangerous to outsider religions. Even Scientology doesn't get away with open crimes towards masses. I'll grant human rights to Muslims as I see the Muslim is human. So far I see fewer humans than swine. They're out there so it isn't all of them, but they better control their animals or they can all go die.

O.K. good point let's edit this for some truthiness.

          The Fair Labor Association found that the plant had all its bribes ready, they had been threatened in the hotel by government toadies the night before, but found the money soothing to their anxiety. Thumbs up!

Yet another chunk of government that needs 90% less power than it has.

We all know the evil caveats of engineered patented seeds and how WRONG everything is about it. EVERYTHING!

I do have a favorite story about one of these seed cops gathering samples of corn when he is confronted by the marijuana farmer hiding his real crop. One shotgun shell,time passing and a new landowner later, this "missing" seed cop turns up as recycled into a shallow grave.

Lol, People don't kill, patents do!

LOL, yeah so much regular rainfall 90% of farming here is dry land wheat and milo farming.

The worlds need for arable farmland is equal to its need for food and that will always supersede sustaining a local population in favor of sustaining farmland.

I come from a place where the aquafier dropped and people get washing,drinking and cooking water trucked in to half the county while the other half can still irrigate.

Aquifiers are only part of the supply though, rivers upstream may get dammed off for an upstream state to hoard water and run it into any depression in the ground that will hold it. Like Colorados "Ancient Lakes" act.

Aquifiers replenish over time. Populations will find it necessary to move and ghost towns will happen. So what? Adapt like a good dinosaur.The lesson, plan better crops, move metropolitan areas away from water handicapped areas and continue to farm. Sustainability is more likely with good planning . Weather patterns change over 20 years, come back in 20 and try again.

Still, raising the cost of food in order to preserve water is a fools errand and unless you can show me something workable, modern irrigation is the only workable solution. We need workable solutions not well meaning hippy ideas. Ideas don't work, people do. Ideas are fine till you run into the part you hadn't counted on. Like cost vs. output. Kind of like the corn to ethanol plan. The cost outweighed the output when applied as a fuel.

Funny how you can give someone a peek at a concept in a schoolbook and they think they know all they need.
Factual education may be in shorter supply for the world than water. Definitely, a more fearsome shortage at this point in time.

Wow, you're quite an advocate.

Unfortunately, my experience with MS and their range of products supersedes your sincere hyperbole.
Even without the list of aches and pains, having a firewall at the workstation,rather than the gateway is like putting mud and snow tires on roller skates.

But don't feel bad, I think ads are a bunch of crap too.

Nicely written.

Actually the fallacy that Democrats are liberal and Republicans are conservative is just a smokescreen to keep the U.S.s tyrannical one party system in power for more than a century in its present form. Republicrats is the proper English when referring to the U.S. government. They don't have separate agendas , just different clubhouses.

As for the rest of the discussion on the table. I am for punishing legislators right beside child molesters. No one need be disappointed or left out.
