A local craft brewer, http://www.westsixth.com/ has gone to cans for the brews. I still like my long necks because they can be capped for the next day if needed.

Ignorance is the handmaiden of the tyrant.

Employers have ways to prevent you from having an outside job. If you work for Walmart or other mega retailers, your schedule can change at your boss's whim.

When I was a kid I remember my mom paying per pound before boarding a helicopter. She wasn't obese, so it wasn't a slam at her. Planes and helicopters have a limit to what they can lift. If I owned an airline I'd want two 150lb paying passengers than one 300lb passenger.

Get a MacBook, and use the included BootCamp to run Windows7. You will have to boot into the OS you want, but that shouldn't be much of a hassle unless you switch between OS's often.

If they had cleared it with the city/county, then the public may have not been properly informed by local officials. Not everyone is plugged into the media.

We are the government. The government is not some foreign entity, it is us.

Our house was used for dive bombing training. There were no dummy bombs, they were practicing the maneuver. I was just a kid and I loved it. The chickens didn't. I think the planes were the A 24 Dauntless. Dad finally called and complained. Around that time he was doing work on the pilot's harness for the Delta Dart. I remember him mentioning a pilot's body passing through the harness. They had issues with the ejection seat killing pilots.

But nothing beats the bouquet of a hog farm in August

If you've ever been downwind from a feedlot, you'd prefer horse meat.

I'm sure the beef industry would not appreciate competition. I'm amazed we can get buffalo.

This is what deregulation is all about. They want to feed you any kind of crap without having any oversight. Without regulation it will be difficult to trace from where the pathogens came.

Fecal matter from mechanical processing.

It depends on the cut and the skill of the chef. I've had horse and it was lean but tasty. The best wild meat I've had is feral pig. Buffalo comes in second, venison third, and elk comes in last. The elk was tough. Again, it could have been the cut and how it was prepared that caused the shoe leather texture. Rabbit is good meat. It is very efficient at turning plant matter into protein. Goat is excellent, and so is bullfrog. Bluegill cooked over a camp fire is as good as it gets.

Iran would be very interested. At this time they have no means to deliver a nuke sized payload. Iran must be suicidal.
