Re: Where in the World Have You Been?
I've only been through Del Rio on the train, but what I could see of it didn't look like any place I'd ever want to live. Interesting to know that it's essentially a base town, because otherwise its sole claim to fame is the home of Doc Brinkley's goat gland clinic, where he did a completely ineffe...

Re: CNN POLLS HAVE TRUMP WINNING
I never saw Hillary as a strong candidate. I saw her as a media creation. But then I'm strange. Even so, her presidency would have turned out a lot better than drumpf's did. He fucked up, big time, inspired violence, scared the hell out of some people, and made all our mortal enemies stronger. He g...

Re: An Elderly Electorate with Severe Mental Anemia
You know what they say about poor nutrition. Works for thinking too. Garbage in, and all too often, yes you do get garbage out. Careful, you might just get the conservative wacko conspiracy theorists a new subject to go after. They'll probably say when the fast food industry began offering healthy ...

Re: Where in the World Have You Been?
Alpine is at the top of a branch of the Rockies or some such range. I think, though I might remember poorly, that it is almost as high up as Denver. There are mountains all around that look like the ones in Taos NM. Descend the mountain roads back into the desert, and eventually you come upon a bor...

Re: Voted Today
No you walked across the room with the filled out paper ballot in your hand. The selections were in dark block black letters on snow white Shiney paper.

Re: CNN POLLS HAVE TRUMP WINNING
I'm suspicious of polling this far out from an actual election. As the primaries in each state draw nearer, the polling may become more relevant for that state and local races. This is due to the fact most voters don't engage in the process of deciding who they'd vote for until about a month before ...

Re: Self-checkout?
My mom used to always get mad about careless baggers. When I was a teenager, a couple of friends of mine worked as baggers at the commissary. They told me of the tricks they'd use to steal from the shopper like candy and gum. For them, it was a game and I'm sure there were plenty of shoppers who di...

Re: Voted Today
I thought it odd that you had to walk across the room and who you voted for was pretty easy to see before you put it in the other machine which counts the ballots. You don't have a privacy sleeve to put the ballot in or some other way to keep it from being seen by anyone? I also didn't like that on...

If a frozen embryo is a person then does that mean if you are driving in your car with the frozen embryo you can use the carpool lane?

Absolutely. I forgot to mention that military bases stress proper training in handling weapons, and keep them locked up the rest of the time. That's more than I can say for the streets of America. I've met some very stupid people in the military and they should never have access to any weapon but i...

Re: Alabama Supreme Court rules embryos are children
Stating an embryo is a child, does that mean a frozen embryo, in Alabama, can be used by the parent(s) to claim a child tax credit on their state income tax? In the case of a divorce, which parent is responsible for paying for the maintenance of the frozen embryo? Also, in the case of a divorce, whi...

And insisting Biden has senile dementia without a clinical examination report in hand isn't grasping at straws? I won't even say drumpf has that without proof, though there is more credible evidence in his case. We haven't eliminated the more verifiable facts that he's just stupid and miswired. I a...

We have wars. We need to give our warfighters training and lethal weapons, so that they can do a job most of us would not want to do. It is obvious to just about anyone who made it through college that these weapons are best not used routinely for civilian pursuits such as hunting or self-defense. ...
