The very first time I brought her to Alabama for a visit, TWO things immediately caught her eye. (1) was the amount of churches. Like one on every block. In Seattle other than the big Catholic church you can hardly find one. (2) was that people put flowers on all the graves in the cemetery. Up there you just don't see much of that. There is one cemetery near SeaTac airport, a large one, that we drove by and there might have been four or five graves that had flowers on them. A huge cemetery. Even she could see the difference in living there and just visiting here. When it came time to retire, she said, "we are going to Alabama. I have had it here." Boom, we be gone!
marktwain, I’d like to thank you for keeping us informed on what’s going on with 2nd amendment, and self defence issues around the country.
The WA state legislature has been very, very busy working on laws and regulations of the far left, too. It’s not just Seattle.
This week, they were discussing creating a single payer system for the teachers’ union health insurance. The teachers are up in arms. They took a pass on the Obamacare bill after being given an exemption, and now the state wants to create their own single payer system.
I have a theory about this. I think that the single payer for the teachers is a pilot program for a state single payer system, with a state individual mandate.
My theory is that Obama is preparing to back off the federal individual mandate, as soon as Mitt Romney clinches the nomination. Then Obama will call for individual states to enact their own mandate under Obamacare guidelines. Romney will then be left stuttering and stammering with absolutely nothing to recommend him. Obama will win. WA State is preparing for that eventuality.
