An acquaintance of my son just relocated from Midland to Massachusetts. Is he in for a culture shock or what?

The wind farm is being fought by people like the Kerrys on Nantucket,the Cronkites on Martha's Vineyard,and of course the Kennedys in Hyannisport.
They would love the windfarm off the coast,as long as it's near Hull or Lynn.
Limousine liberals all!!!!!!!

Article 1, section 9 of the Constitution for the United States of America, paragraph 5 states simply: No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.
Interesting---I wonder if this means state taxes?

Sounds to me like a typical statement made at Harvard.

"I attended a meeting at the Harvard School of Public Health where Howard Koh, then health commissioner, said he had considered asking that every pack of cigarettes sold in Massachusetts bear the phrase, ''You are the scum of the earth."Really now. Tell it to this guy, face to face:

Apparently, Harvard, despite being one of the countries most expensive and exclusive universities is not a repository of wisdom. It is particularly discouraging since Harvard, Yale and other Ivy League schools often train the leaders in many fields.

I don't think it would.
The cigarette gives him a Greatest Generation, brave,tired,world-weary,look.
I doubt it it would have worked with a lollipop.

The "public health" lobbies and fascists are the worst scum on the face of the planet. They are the biggest police state ninnies I've ever had the misfortune of seeing in action.

...Howard Koh, then health commissioner, said he had considered asking that every pack of cigarettes sold in Massachusetts bear the phrase, ''You are the scum of the earth." Just one question - was he talking about smokers, or tax-payers in general? That seems to be the prevailing atttitude among people on government payrolls.

Please give him a break. He's just a kid from Kentucky who hasn't been enlightened to the terrible risks to his health by his poor decisions. Maybe thats why he is in Iraq for us.
To: Mears
The cigarette being clean and white and him being dirty and beat up is a good contrast, other than that, I am just as impressed with him without the cigarette as with it.

"You technical types astonish me." LOL!
I'm just a blue collar worker on a drilling rig.
I'm about as far from a technical type as you can get.

Well, you almost got it right.
I've got a ring in my belly button and one in my nose, and I'm wearing a "Make Love, Not War" T shirt with flowers all over my monitor.
