Free Republic

Let's show them what price gouging really is or if you prefer call it the free market.

Have you seen one of these "fast turning turbines"? Living in west Texas I've seen hundreds and they don't turn verrry fast.

I'm all in favor of these windmills but only if not one KW leaves the state.

I've claimed I'm of several different ethic groups on the last 3 census'. Who's to say I'm not what I say I am. What's the criteria for each group?

As one of the Texas 100 in 1976 I don't see one on the horizon. I'm not swallowing any of crapola I've heard so far from any potential candidates.

I wish I had a copy of RR's speech he made after his defeat by Ford at the '76 convention. If there had been a re-vote after that speech he would have been prez 4 years earlier.

If anyone knows where I can get a copy of that speech I sure would appreciate a post.

My local school board did the same thing about a year ago. Banned any clubs not related to school classes. No problemo (just practicing).

Any idea how much it is and is there a expiration date?

Anyone who thought that Islam was a "religion of peace" probably would also favor letting some Arab country run our ports or let "guest workers" in our country or give illegal aliens amnesty. They also would know nothing about Islam.

What? There's some corruption in Lousiana. Glory be!!!

Reverse the races involved. Change the sport to basketball and back up the date of the alleged offense to the middle of March and see if the administration's action would be the same. Wanna bet?

I sure am glad my kids are out of the education system 'cause I probably would end up in the slammer if this stuff was tried on my kids.

By the way, has anyone sent a package by UPS lately? I haven't send one for at least a year until yesterday. The GED clerk behind the counter said he wanted to see my drivers license before he would ship. I showed him my CHL with my thumb intentionally across my picture. He glanced at it and that was it. Oh, Mr. Orwell if you only knew.

The end is near. All is lost. The seals are distressed.

Does the "greater fool theory" apply to real estate?

I for one am sick and tired of hearing about the underpaid teachers. No one snuck up and changed the pay scale when they started teaching. They knew the pay when they signed on. If they had wanted more pay they could have taken chemistry, biology, or calculus in college instead of those mind numbing time wasting education courses.

My wife suffered through those courses so she could teach because she loved to teach. She knew her pay wouldn't buy us a new Lexus every year. She just loved teaching and young people.

And paying paper pushing administrators, counselors and assorted flunkies those inflated salaries is just plain stupid. I'm never voting for a school bond issue again.

I don't understand how this could be taking place. I thought our leader called Islam a "religion of peace".

Did one of his yuppie speech writers get something wrong?

When Berger walked I lost the last bit of confidence I had (which wasn't much) in our judicial system. He and Teddy walking around on the loose is just too much.

Isn't that the same lake where a mans life was saved last week? Someone shot at him and missed. Or was that some other lake? Now that I think about it I believe it was that other lake. Or maybe it wasn't. I can't remember. But I think it was. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

You're correct. Some aren't but only because they haven't had the opportunity. Keep on thinking.

Montana-not Wyoming. Big difference, kinda like East Germany and West Germany.

What's really scary is that Montana has someone called a "commissioner of political practices". See above.

I want everyone to know that today I ate and drink two items that do not cause cancer or at least they didn't when I ate and drank them. Tomorrow I'll check on them again.

If it will get them out of Texas quicker let's build it today. And if it will all be toll roads we can make a buck while doing so. Sounds like a winner to me.
