And to add to it is don’t forget “Goliad”….

If this guy had been travelling at regulation speed that turn would have been completed without incident.

You think you have time to turn and then a cop arrives.

Now two young people are dead. I feel for the families.

sorry cold thumbs

We can’t do that with guys the corporations paid to put in office writing the laws to favor the corporations.

I think policemen are prone to god-complexes and power trips in a way that far surpasses any behavior I have ever witnessed from doctors. “To protect and serve” is a useless, meaningless motto in far too many cases these days.

“Right now those two cornerstones of the American legal system are under fire by corporations who have used K St. graft to unbalance the system.”

Agreed.

“Natural real people, citizens as the Founding Fathers meant, should be the only people allowed to vote or lobby and only on their personal behalf. One man, one vote, one say.”

Agreed.

“1 : the state of doing well especially in respect to good fortune, happiness, well-being, or prosperity (must look out for your own welfare)
2 a : aid in the form of money or necessities for those in need b : an agency or program through which such aid is distributed”

The second definition did not exist when the Constitution was written. The first is what they had in mind. I looked it up in an 18th century dictionary. There is no provision for taking money from one individual and giving it to another. I can also quote Jefferson on that subject as well. He was quite against taking from one man to give to another. And I am sure he would be even more against taking from an individual to give to a corporation, he would be apoplectic.

Corporations need to quit buying congressmen and senators, but then isn’t it up to us to send representatives to DC that will not corrupt our rights to line their own pockets?

“What if solar power was more practical at the personal level? In this segment, we’ll talk with an MIT chemist working on ways to improve solar energy. His lab has created a catalyst that can aid in the hydrolysis of water, producing oxygen and hydrogen for use in fuel cells. The researchers say that such a catalyst could make it simpler to store solar energy.”

The truth is you can smoke this building but it won’t get you high!

Conversely, there is also no prohibition of governmental size. It doesn’t mention any number of things. But there is a reason size of the government is not addressed in the Constitution and only form and function are defined.

Because our system was designed to be function based.

A systems of checks and balances designed to limit any one branch from having too much control. T

his means that flexibility in apparatus scale is required and is dependent upon what the defined and desired function of any given task might be but that flexibility is constrained by the Separation of Powers Doctrine and the Bill of Rights.

The size of the mechanism was left unaddressed because the size is irrelevant as long as the core forms of our institutions and personal civil rights assured by are protected from abuse FROM ANYONE.

Right now those two cornerstones of the American legal system are under fire by corporations who have used K St. graft to unbalance the system. It’s been broken on purpose. If the government is the source of corporations, it’s as if the artificial child is trying to eat the parents alive.

Do you want PharmaCo telling your children who they can marry based on gene assays? That’s what you’ll get on the path we are on. Because as long as we keep letting corporations and their scumbag lobbyists write legislation that tends to their profits you while ignoring and stealing from critical social infrastructure, what you have is fascism.

Social stabilization systems are only “social” if they are managed to benefit us ALL. If they are geared to protect Lil’ Timmy’s Profits, guess who history shows gets holding – as they say in the septic business – the shit end of the stick? WE ALL DO. Except Lil’ Timmy. This is because of another feature of unrestricted capitalism: it attracts sociopaths and criminals. They are (in theory) responsible only to the bottom line and keeping those shareholders happy. What’s good for society, for us all, doesn’t factor into their thinking and in fact is often an obstacle for them to overcome when not the object of their venal desires proper.

They impede the function of our Constitution, ergo, corporations must either have no direct access to the legislative process or they must be eliminated in toto. I’d settle for the short leash, but hey, if they are willing to play this idiotic and narcissistic penis comparison game until society starts to crumble and you can see the glow of their burning gated communities and corporate headquarters from miles away?

I’ll put on the popcorn.

But either solution fixes the problem of fascism. Natural real people, citizens as the Founding Fathers meant, should be the only people allowed to vote or lobby and only on their personal behalf. One man, one vote, one say. Not fame man can have as much say as his puppeteer’s black heart can buy. Corporations should be silent in government. Period. They are fake people that criminals use as a mask and shield. They should pay ALL of their taxes with no exceptions and they should be thankful they are allowed to sell anything at all.

But again, this major social malfunction they have ushered in is a function size. THEIR SIZE. And the disproportionate amount of graft they can funnel into the trough. If anything, corporations are too big. It’s their ability to buy the legislation they want instead of legislation that benefits each elected officials constituents regardless of their campaign contribution that is destroying this country.

Yeah. Size is a problem, Byron. But not a governmental problem. Government was design to function for the benefit of all – to provide for the common defense and promote general welfare. You know. Welfare. Not the demon the right tries to make that word, but what it actually means.

wel·fare \ˈwel-ˌfer\, n.; Etymology: Middle English, from the phrase wel faren to fare well. Date: 14th century.

1 : the state of doing well especially in respect to good fortune, happiness, well-being, or prosperity (must look out for your own welfare)
2 a : aid in the form of money or necessities for those in need b : an agency or program through which such aid is distributed

Yes. Before it was a program, it was a concept. One which our Forefather believed in by the way. Welfare is literally the well-being of society. A duty to all from all when used in the context “common welfare” was used at the time of drafting and still the words primary meaning.

Making sure society does not disintegrate is why we have laws and government. It did a much better job of of taking care of all of us real natural citizens with corporations on the short leash. Time for the leash again or the dog is going to crap all over the carpet and then the house is going to burn down.

You have the nexus in your sights, but you have your poloarity revesed.

Our burials don’t seem very humane to me.

As to arresting others and tying it to the case; duh, isn’t that always the first thing that’s done when a leo gets in trouble for use of force? Why should this be any different. It clouds the waters and can be used to transfer blame to others including the victims.

““I don’t think you can cherry pick a verse out of a Psalm and disregard the intent of the Psalm. Which in this case is clearly a prayer for a leader’s (David) enemies to be taken care of by God.”

Byron,
Please, do you really believe this?”

I would hope that people don’t actually want ill to befall the president. So I hold out the hope that they don’t mean it like it appears to be how they mean it.

But I am resigned to the fact that there are crazies everywhere who would want those they don’t agree with put up against a wall and shot at dawn or at least by 6 pm.

I am very sorry to hear that. It sounds terrible.

Some times I wonder if depression is a co-factor of high intelligence. The brains way of compensating for hyper-activity/creativity.

I do hope things turn around for you.

Sec. 53a-57. Misconduct with a motor vehicle: Class D felony. (a) A person is guilty of misconduct with a motor vehicle when, with criminal negligence in the operation of a motor vehicle, he causes the death of another person.

(b) Misconduct with a motor vehicle is a class D felony.

Attorney Keefe was inducted into the American College of Trial Lawyers 4 as a Fellow in 1984. Mr. Keefe was named by Connecticut Magazine as one of the five “Best Lawyers in Connecticut.” Following a poll of lawyers by Super Lawyers Magazine, Mr. Keefe was listed by Connecticut Magazine as the “Super Lawyer” with the highest number of votes in the State of Connecticut. He was also listed in New York Magazine in its July, 2006 and 2007 editions as one of the best lawyers in the New York area. He has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America every year since its initial publication in 1983.

I am definitely not a fan of Mussolini and think he met a fitting end.

I am also against the Department of Homeland Security, can you say American Gestapo or KGB or NKVD?

I think size matters. I was reading Federalist Paper 51 this morning where Madison was talking about how 3 separate branches are necessary so power is not concentrated in any one. But part of the problem is also quantity of a certain viewpoint. If you have too many people believing that X is the right policy there is no dissension. And everyone talks themselves into believing that they are right because there is not enough dissent.

Maybe if you have a large government there should be more diversity of opinion. But the Constitution is already a guide for our republic and I see no where within it’s words the sanction for the size of government we now have.

I cant say for sure but Mr. Madison would probably be having a sh . . . fit over the Department of Homeland Security and many other agencies that have been created in the last 70 years. And Mr. Jefferson would be sharpening his sword.

I know Hugh Keefe by reputation and he is considered one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Connecticut.

Hang em and then drop em.

No Hanging will be held when Miss Langtree is in town.

OMG You’re right! This Warren character did have his son and at least one hired staff working for him and MO. obviously has to maintain regional staff just to make sure the funeral directors are protected, to say nothing of the State required fee I’m going to have to pay for for the Refusal form being signed off on… As a labor advocate and member of the tax/fee generating drone class I repudiate my earlier statements; I just wasn’t thinking about the greater societal good this trade in death generates

The ability to go up 3 stories is a plus as well as having a house that’s is designed to look conventional and blend in. I’ve only read about/seen pictures and plans for single story dwellings with one 2 story exception.

The pioneers that settled the prairie used straw bales but from the pictures I’ve seen there was a dearth of framing lumber so the housed didn’t fare well, roofs collapsed etc. Log-end building is also an under-appreciated building method that produces great insulation, low noise infiltration and looks beautiful.

I hear tell that some make bongs out of toliet paper roll and that al lumina foil. I say hang em high and drop em dead in the sack.

Lilly Langtree will be here soon to entertain everyone. We won’t tolerate no hanging then.

I object. Do you think chucking bodies out the back door is cheap? What if you have to part them out? Did you ever think about that!!! No, you didn’t!

P.S. I’m so glad you spit in the punch bowl. It’s hard enough to have your dad die and then go through this.

“… BTW twelve hundred bucks to call a recalcitrant judge to heel. That’s a deal. Can I chip in?”

actually, Mespo, I got the idea for my comment from reading what you wrote – and yes, please ‘chip in’. You can send donations to the Center For great Apes in Wauchula, FL

I’m getting that impression. If the funeral director’s get special treatment then the least they could do is fill out the paperwork properly the first time.
