  You would think with those special rules, the Yes on 1 campaign would have some mention of it in their TV ad's and flyers.  Whoever is responsible for that oversight might cause a majority for Yes to still fail.

I plan to vote on Friday.  I'm still deciding who gets my Senate vote and I need to do more research on my General Assembly candidates since this is my first statewide election in my current residence.    As far as the ballot measures go...   #1:  No, for several reasons.  There are no exemptions for rape, incest, life of the mother in the proposed amendment, thus no guarantee they would be in any laws passed I truly feel this is a woman's decision, not a man's I don't like lowering the standard of privacy found in the TN State Constitution, even in this one specific subject   #2: Yes.  I want to keep judges as far away from money in politics as possible.   #3:  Yes.  TN has proven the ability to run the state well enough without an income tax, and if one is going to be levied after this long without one, it should be up to the people to approve it.   #4:  Yes.  Like I said earlier, this should be a legislative fix, but it should happen so I'll vote yes.   The Wine Conundrum:  Leaning yes by 60/40 on free market economic fundamentals, but still deciding on this one because of local business concerns.

I agree that PSA has good deals and products.  If you order and forget about it, one day you'll get a surprise knock at the door or call from your FFL dealer that your stuff is here.   Very nice AR-10 for the price, atlas.

It's probably just a bug in the malware the NSA is using to track and catalog gun and gun parts for BATFE.

  Pretty much.  For the grocery stores, the potential profit in this not happening isn't enough for them to close stores or lay off employees.  In their grand accounting, it could be as small as a rounding error.   For a local package store, it would be a much bigger hit percentage wise if they lost some of their business to a grocery store.  Some might go out of business depending on location and if their liquor sales and top end wine can keep them afloat or not.  One of my local wine and spirits stores is in the same shopping area as a Walmart.  And I think we all know what happens to a small business when Walmart opens in the same shopping area and offers the same products.     I'm actually torn on this one and haven't decided which way to vote yet.  I don't want to see local business' hurt and understand the value argument of keeping more money in the community, but I also think the prohibition makes for an unfair market practice. 

  Hell, I'd let them keep what they have, keep taxing me and I never get to draw Social Security at retirement just to wind down the scheme.  It would suck, but at some point, we have to pick a year of birth, make that the cutoff and force them to keep paying into Social Security while they get no benefits or a reduced rate of benefits.   1-2 generations will get screwed, or everybody will.  Might as well get it over with now while I still have the time to save for a retirement on my own.

  As long as the chart of percentages for voting by ages is skewed left, with those drawing and getting close to drawing Social Security, we will never be able to quit cold turkey.  To put it in perspective, look at this chart.       Spot on.  We created a problem we have no interest politically to solve until it collapses on itself.

I usually shop at the Publix down the road, but find myself in that same Walmart  from time to time, even at late hours since my daytime schedule is often full.    Going to an outdoor ATM at night isn't the smartest thing to do.  If you need cash after dark, go to a gas station and use one inside the store.  Saving on an ATM fee by going to your bank isn't worth your life.   Either case is a perfect example of why I have a HCP. 

  I've never seen this issue (and this ballot question especially) as an either or proposal.  People can be against abortion on principal, but not wanting it to be decided by anybody except the person in that situation and lest of all by legislative decree.       Sort of...5019(c)(19) is the IRS designation for a Veteran's Organization that applies or gets tax exempt status.  This would just add them to the list of who can apply to the TN General Assembly and hope for a 2/3'rds vote allowing an annual event for their benefit.  This one is really just bookkeeping that has to be done by ballot vote since it involves changing a section of the TN Constitution.  If it was in the TCA, it would be a simple legislative vote and we would never have to be bothered with it.   I'll be voting for it.

  My average time at a theater gateway was about three days during redeployment, so I hope they add at least a few weeks to that, but then you have the risk of mass infection with group facilities, communal living, ect...  Not sure where they are establishing the gateway for this deployment, but for political reasons, I wouldn't imagine any of our allied nations would be excited about us holding troops in that may have been exposed to Ebola on their soil.   The emergency leave scenario is what has me worried the most as well.  I could imagine there will be a few troops who try to abuse that privilege just like any other deployment.

  The bigger worry is if those Soldiers don't have an observation period before going on leave after the deployment.  After Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army standard was 7 days of reintegration before signing out on leave.  They need to have some kind of longer period for observation in this case.    You mention anywhere in the state within six hours, but there are a lot of out of state metro areas they can get to on a short drive from Fort Campbell/Clarksville as well; St. Louis is 4 hours away Atlanta is 5 hours away Louisville is 3 hours away Cincinnati 4.5 hours away Indianapolis 4.5-5 hours away   I honestly think the only thing containing Ebola in Africa are a lack of roads combined with available air and ground transportation for the majority of the population.  Those limitations won't exist if this virus gets loose in America.

  Plenty of people working full time, paying taxes, contributing to the system and living within their means aren't able to save enough to last them through a period of unemployment.  That's just the way things are these days.  I'm fine with helping them out during a downtime so they can keep being productive members of society when they get back on their feet.   I don't see this as a sucking at the tit of government type of thing.  RC3 doesn't seem like the type to be sitting on the couch until the benefits run out, and his situation is what unemployment benefits/insurance were designed for.  We have these social programs to help out people in a bad situation and prevent macroeconomic turbulence across the board.  We can probably come to a consensus about reforms that could take place to prevent abuse, but the programs are here to stay unless you live in counterfactual theory.   By your logic, people who take Social Security benefits are leaches because they didn't prepare for retirement on their own.

  Another job lined up doesn't mean he's at work somewhere else yet.  I know plenty of people who had a job lined up only to find it wasn't as sure a thing as they thought.  Putting in for unemployment is a prudent step until you actually start a new job.

  Glad you have a backup plan.  A lot of people would be in trouble in the same situation.  The most sage advice I ever received was "the best time to look for a job is when you have one," and it seems like you had that in mind.   Just be careful with what you try to walk out with.  A lot of places have it built into the employee agreement that whatever you do/develop/invent for the company or on the job is no longer your stuff but their property. 

Weather is weather.  Common sense goes a long way with making sure you are safe.

We had ice cream sales used instead of Nicholas Cage films to explain it in Applied Statics class, but that one works too.

  That's the official line right now.  But mission creep happens with every deployment the military has ever gone on in my lifetime.  Once someone sees how military is more equipped and more capable than any other government org or NGO, they tasking orders will follow.  I can't see this deployment being any different from any other where Soldiers are forced to pick up the slack others can't or won't carry themselves.   This guy has a good point about how we have no idea how many Ebola infected Liberians are out of the quarantine zone. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/abc-medical-expert-very-real-possibility-u-s-soldier-contracts-ebola/   I only hope they don't contract locals to run logistics on the camps that will be set up for laundry, chow hall, ect...

Troops from Fort Campbell will be deploying to Libera as part of the DoD force to help with the Ebola fight.  Apparently with just gloves and masks to fight the virus.  Hope they don't bring anything they didn't deploy with back with them sometime next year. http://nashvillepublicradio.org/blog/2014/10/08/fort-campbell-troops-ebola-mission-wont-get-full-protective-gear/

You need to ask yourself...do you really need the Walmart website this bad?  :D

  That's the one my ping and trace route brought up as well.     FWIW, my ping timed out and the trace route timed out after 12 hops.  But I can bring up the URL without an issue.  I'd imagine that Walmart would have servers on multiple ISP's in case of technical/power issues and to spread out the load from web traffic.  I wouldn't put too much stock in which specific IP you try to go to.

  The guerrilla fights a patient war.  Picking and choosing your fights is a lot more efficient than spreading resources thin with an across the board campaign.   When I give my money to a pro2A org or individual, I want to make sure it's being put towards achieving an result both in sight and obtainable.  The government has unlimited resources to wage court battles, our side doesn't.  Targeted action has gotten us some of the recent wins.   I get why this guy is taking on the MG battle, even if I don't think much of his chances for success.  The legal ambiguity this specific case brought is the kind of issue that you can make a case from.  But fighting every battle just to fight it would make me rethink where my money goes.

Google walmart.com and see if you can get to it through the link.   What security setup are you running?  Could that be blocking you from going there?  Avast has done that to me a few times for various websites.

I think he would have a better chance getting the NFA pecked away at with SBR's and suppressors first by challenging with them as specific items.  With the widespread use and sale of those two items, along with states that have no state level precondition to ownership, you could argue that the federal government has no legitimate need to regulate them as an NFA item, that it should be a states issue and the 10th Amendment applies.  The current Supreme Court tends to like those kinds of limited rulings that aren't too overreaching and dramatic.   We're probably a long ways away from having anything automatic being legal, even with this gun friendly Supreme Court.

  That's why he want's one.  He said he has all kinds of game on scurrying about his property.  He has a bow or a .308 for the deer, but wants something for the smaller stuff.   Did they have another?  He's only about 30-45 min from Morristown.

  Where did you get it?  I have a friend about 45 min north of Nashville who is looking for a Savage .17HMR, too.
