My apologies I have had my economic recovery plan trashed so many times I guess I need a little more time being able to engage in humor.

In that vien I am anxiously awaiting the government to pick up my unfunded liabilities for my company's pension plan. Now for the title I think I should assume for my new estate at government expense, how about ost estemed ruler of all I survey Prince of the Lands of Harpseal, Duke of Seal Rock, Count of the High seas and Lord and Master of the all the fish in the ocean, Baron of the esturaries. It has a nice ring don't you think and everyone of teh little peopel will be so awed.

Hey, I have as much right to that title as the idiot CEO of GM who agreed to a deal where automotive technology will become the property of the Chinese in return for letting GM take advantage of cheap Chinese labor. A high school dropout could have negotiatesd a better deal than GM on that one.

You know for the title I am choosing I think if thsi plan gioes through for GM and of course me. do you think there needs to be a Commisar portion out of respect for teh underlying priciple involved or should I just add a "His serene pinneped highness" to it or dies it really need "His serene pinneped highness and commisar?"

After all "What's good for GM and me is good for the nation.

I know you are running your campaign for supreme ruler of the Universe but under a new program I think I can get the titles in #40 and #41. See #20 for how we get teh government funding.

If you notice that little line on the bottom, I was responding your #20. I took you answer to be sarcasm, I was just amplifying and spilling a little vitrol on the Left.

Once more my apologies I really was a little to wuick on the trigger with my defensive mode. Irefuse to call it a flame because I don't really think is was.

Now Ialso please ask you to understand I ahve teh same rhetoric you were using against the leftictc posted at me for non-sarcastic serious posts for saying things protective tariffs were passed as theSecond act of teh First Congress in 1789. i ahve also been called othe things like a NAZI for daring to question teh sacred cow of internationalism or globalism which is merely the same dog in a new overcoat.

The Democrats will get back in to power soon enough. "Arsenal" laws will go into effect. Rewards will be offered to those who inform on people they know who are breaking the law. I do not know how many cartridges will be the maximum allowable, but I expect maybe a thousand pounds of ammunition evolving over time to a few boxes of twenty. Sales of cartridges are going to be severely curtailed, and fairly soon. To make room for the new felons in federal prisons the existing prisoners who are members of the "protected classes" will be released.

Are you saying I should dump my "horde?" That sentence leaves me a little perplexed, but perhaps it is the lack of sleep that leaves me confused. Your last post is correct I believe there will be a general prisoner amnesty of the "protected classes" in places like CA when the political realignment takes place and the "man" is supplanted.

I predict at least 1,000,000 dead if such laws go into effect a lot of them politicians eho boted such laws. Arsenal laws would be grounds for a civil war. Do I expect them to push them? Yes. I remind you that there are many who will not obey such laws and who will resist any attempt to ebforce them. Now there will be some states that try to enact such laws and I would expect Califonia, New York, NJ and Illinois to be the first but should a national law of this type be enacted the enforcement would be a nightmare for everyone.

Realization of this is one of teh reasons I am trying to get the Republicans to get off their butts on the structural problems in the economy. As I have said many times before how can one endure a civil war when one might have been able to help prevent it. By the way the 1,000,000 dead is a conservative estimate based on an early decision of the gun grabboids to give it up. If it lasts longer expect it to involve outside fortces and the full break up of the USA which agfain IMHO would lead to a nuclear war that would up the butchers bill by orders of magnitude.

All of this is more properly on a Bang_list thread.
