I'd probably skip buying stock in Reynold's Wrap and go right for the aluminum futures.

This is a great thread, isn't it? Thanks for posting this follow-up!

I know! How do you go through life without a SSN -- I had only six months to get my youngest daughter's. But then I consider myself a citizen of the United States!

Can just see me tell IRS -- I am not paying any more taxes since I am not a citizen of D.C. They would probably haul me off to jail!

[mhking]

Should I buy stock in Reynolds Wrap?

Nope - go straight for Kaiser & ALCOA...

[KneelBeforeZod]

Or is this no longer a FreeRepublic?

Didnt you just get here?

[wimpycat]

ALCOA, that's the one I was trying to think of.

Thanks for the tip.

I was pointing to a law designed to protect the rest of us from the "stupid" (in this case fiscally).

IMHO it cant be done, particularly fiscally. We will all pay if we Nit Pik life to death. Christ...this women wasnt the sharpest pencil in the box, but all she did was feel compassion for her baby. some here seem to think that that is a crime against society.

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for alerting me to this thread. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't read it myself!

[Dog Gone]

Just think all of us are paying taxes for this nutcase!

I'd gladly pay toward locking him up and throwing away the key.

Anarchists are not nice or reasonable people, and using religion as a cover for that philosophy is rather sinister.

.this women wasnt the sharpest pencil in the box

I put her in the same category as the idiot who almost ran me off the road while yammering on his cell phone.

And I've got no compassion for her.

She felt compassion by breastfeeding while driving? That same kind of compassion could have been safely exhibited at the side of the road, with the car in park.

I am wondering if this type of compassion by mom is a habit....remind me to stay out of whatever state (or country) she is or is not a citizen of.

" Let those who ride decide"

You mean your not willing to turn over your decisions to the boistrous band of old ladies that demandeth compliance? Think of all the sleepless nights, stress and strokes your giving them.

[wimpycat]

Hear, hear!

[PhiKapMom]

I'd gladly pay toward locking him up and throwing away the key

You and me both -- I would gladly donate!

What amazes me are the several people that agree with him -- that is mind boggling that there is more than one!

I understand completly, believe me I see them every day! But did she commit a crime?

I saw a woman is San Diego cause a 5hr traffic delay because she crashed on the highway during rush hour while putting on panty hose! Should we pass a law on stupidity?

"...some here seem to think that that is a crime against society.

That's why they charged her with a felony and the rest are screaming for blood. I'm sure this all started, because she didn't notice all the 18 wheelers scooting up so the driver could get a good look. One of them must of been an old lady and called 911, or the cops were just monitoring the CB.

but all she did was feel compassion for her baby

Not enough compassion though to pull over to a rest stop and let the baby feed without it's life being risked. One slam on the brakes and that baby's life would have been over.

[mylife]

Im not justifying her IQ

[wimpycat]

Putting on pantyhose? That is....impossible!

But that sort of behavior usually falls under the broad category of "reckless driving", at least in my state. I heard about someone getting pulled over for READING A BOOK while driving. It's a reckless driving offense.

Whats interesting to me is the fact that there are people here that really want blood, even though the most that occured in this incident is a misdemeanor offence!
