Popped off this e-mail to your retire friend from your work computer, using your work e-mail? Yeah, you may get fired. You do not have the right to use your employers tools for stuff he doesn't want you to.
If you wish to pursue a Conservative Club at your work, go through the proper channels and ask permission from your employer or his appropriate representative. If he says no, either suck it up or quit.
Why is it so many freepers understand the right of free association except when people don't want to associate with them?
He doesn't get it. Reading his rant, I am not surprised.
I'd start with that clause from the Contract for America - all laws passed apply to congress, too.
The real problem is economic. The drugs one of these idiots would use in a day under rational circumstances would cost a dollar; that would simply present no scope for crime or criminals. Under present circumstances that dollar's worth of drugs is costing the user $300 a day and since that guy is dealing with a 10% fence, he's having to commit $3000 worth of crime to buy that dollar's worth of drugs. In other words, a dollar's worth of chemicals has been converted into $3000 worth of crime, times the number of those idiots out there, times 365 days per year, all through the magic of stupid and evil laws. No nation on Earth could afford that forever.
A rational set of drug laws would:
Do all of that, and the drug problem and 70% of all urban crime will vanish within two years.
At work by creating a club? Yes. After work on your own time? No. Get your self a cup of coffee; it isn't that difficult of a concept.
What's being described here is the slow transformation of this country from a constitutional republic into a banana republic.
Me too brother. I have made many stupid choices in life, but I like to think that what defines me is that I have never taken advantage of anyone. I have often sold things at a loss so there would be no chance of anyone being shortchanged, and I have passed up opportunities to "get rich" by taking advantage of others' stupidity or misunderstanding. If I die poor, it will be with a clear conscience and a nice pine box.
Nice rant.
"No we are not property, but we can own property."
Allow me to expand on that -
The property you own doesn't have "rights," but rather the individual has rights in the property he owns. These include the right to develop, to farm, to sub-divide, to use, to improve, to sell and other rights.
The various state and federal agencies and the courts have stolen these rights. Whether it's a federal fascist bureaucrat telling you can't cut trees because an endangered bird lives on your land or a Marxist court telling you must give your home and land to a corporation because it's for the collective common good, we are seeing a severe crippling of our rights.
It's time to take back our birthright.
That be right!
"Only little people pay taxes."
BS. The top 5% of wage earners pay 50% of the taxes in this country while the lower 25% pay nothing.
As for what the solution will be...solve et coagula. Old forms will dissolve, and new ones will form. Such transformation is never free of pain.
"BS. The top 5% of wage earners pay 50% of the taxes in this country while the lower 25% pay nothing."
"Wage earners"?
I doubt that those who make up the top 5%, in terms of income, can honestly be called "wage earners".
"There are choices. In our area, you do not have to pay for the sitting or photo from the school selected photographer to have the picture in the yearbook. If pictures are wanted for personal use, you pay for them, but no one is required to do so to have it appear in the yearbook. In fact, if you don't like the way the first one turned out, you can even have it re-done by the same photographer at no cost. Still, you're not required to buy any of them or pay for the service. Secondly, as far as I know, no one is forced to buy the yearbook in the first place."
Do those who pay the school tax have the choice of subtracting the cost of the school photographer from their tax bill?
Thanks for that link.....i'm feeling it.
I'm tired of elected officials and appointees circling the wagon for one another. It seems to be the only thing they're all good at.
yep
good post
