Of course, this means the country will fall apart. Hopefully, I'll be around long enough to see the Trump-GOP caused destruction get off to a good start. :) When you describe half of the country like that you get the kind of result we just saw. More significant than the white house is the number of state legislatures that were flipped by people who felt disaffected by that kind of rhetoric. If you think there are not people who simply want to get away from the same old **** from Washington, you need to get out of DC more. Now they want 10% of the land area to pick the POTUS. How about changing the EC to the one who gets the most land mass voting for them. The system we have had for the last 237 years is just fine. The only time anyone bitches is when they lose a close election. Can you imagine the recounts we would be in if they only had to find a million votes across 50 states and tens of thousands of election districts? We would have to push the inauguration back to june or july and that still might not do it. |

When you have lawyers on TV in every commercial break looking for people who want "free money" and no real penalty for frivolous suits, it is the recipe for disaster. Since most legislators are lawyers, I doubt anything will change soon. Down here we have the biggest tort lawyer in the state, running for governor in 2018 (responsible for 60% of the total number of actions in the central and southern district) it starts to make Scott look like a saint. |

Four years is a very short period of time and the experience and maturity gained is well worth it, especially for a 19 year old. Sure beats sitting around on some high school or college campus participating in a "cry-in" because your liberal teachers or professors encouraged you to do so after their political candidate got whooped.

How much is your pension? How much did you save? You only look at cheap boats, not what you would really like. Impressed with a person you can crew on with a 30' boat. I was a professional Silicon Valley engineer. Most likely a 5x factor salary of a janitor at least. Stock options, not granted to a janitor. They are easy to hire. A good engineer? Much harder to hire. Companies compete on salary, benefits, options, and how interesting the job is. I turned down a job at Sandisk, for a biomedical engineering job, as it was more interesting, then doing the firmware for a SCSI interface memory chip. There isn't much room to store a decent size boat on a 4000sf lot along with his house, a car, and a couple of out houses. You've heard him complain about how difficult it is to place his little boat in storage. Well, mine is hard to back into it's garage at the storage yard. Thinking of putting a front hitch on the truck. Hard to get a 45' long rig to turn into an storage structure with a not real wide lane in front. |

Works well, not too hard to install. |

You really should stop commenting on the language skills of others, Mr. Silicon Valley engineer. Maybe you should have gotten something other than an English degree. Might not have had to declare bankruptcy twice. When is the the third declaration? Krause won't get a third chance. He's tapped out. No one would loan him a dime. Mrs. Moneybags is the only thing preventing him from residing in a cardboard box. Sad but true. -- x |

"Donnie's car isn't capable of wearing a front hitch." I don't have a car, Justine. It's registered as a truck and the insurance company rates it as a truck. |
