Bagpipe ping!
Bagpipes sound like a bag full of kittens being squeezed.
Government has gone mad.
Legalism with the absence of common sense is facism.
Amazing what we do to protect elephants.
US Fish & Wildlife. ????
What with all the islamic beheading going on the Sgian Dubhs order scares the hell out of me

As Robert Heinlein called it way back in the freedom days of Richard Nixon (1973);
In a Mature Society, "Civil Servant" is Semantically Equal to "Civil Master" "Time Enough for Love"
The solution to the bagpipe problem, of course, is just to lie. When asked if you have something to declare, you just say no.
That way, you become a criminal, and the government can arrest you at will.
If they were Mexicans with ivory inlays in their leaf blowers, they’d be waved through, no problem.
Obviously, there needs to be a major - and I mean, MAJOR - re-balancing of the number of people involved with the Federal government and the execution of its functions. A major one. There seems to be a lot of people involved in it looking for for something to do. I’d say, for starters, except for the military (the PRIMARY FUNCTION), about 25-40% cutbacks.
I wonder if there's equal regulatory scrutiny over the transport of embryonic stem cells?
And the federales have a program for reincarnating the elephant from which the ivory is made, right? The is the same program that causes people to throw their old pianos in the landfill because it is illegal to sell them. I can understand not wanting new elephants killed for their ivory, but a lot of that ivory is a century old. And how stupid do the customs inspectors have to be to not tell the difference between plastic and ivory?
Federal Sassenach bastards!
Och Aye!

The word of the Lord came to me again, saying, “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
Ezekiel 28:13
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Ivory Buttons and Keys on the Instrument.
Same crowd that looted Gibson Guitars.
Utterly OUTLANDISH...
Thank you!
