I got my hair cut yesterday here in Dyersburg. Feels so good.

The bolded portion is the money quote here folks. Our supply chain is built on a Just In Time logistics model. It is wholly inadequate to handle sudden surges in demand or interruptions due to acts of God. There aren’t warehouses to hold supplies of stuff, the warehouse have just enough room in them to hold a few days to a week’s worth of stock. We get taught this lesson every time there is a natural disaster of any type, but just as soon as we clean up the mess and get caught up, we ignore the lessons we learned and go back to business as normal.

Yup. We were forced to deal with our messes openly in a way they never were. I believe that allowed us to make a lot more progress on dealing with those issues. The northern cities didn’t go through that as much as therefore are still highly segregated and the amount of casual racism that can show itself is frankly quite shocking at times.

When one understands the relationship between gun control and the black codes, this isn’t so surprising. Of course while we may have some holdovers from our less than racially sensitive pasts, if you listen to the arguments being made for gun control by Yankees up north and squint, their clothes seem to get a whole lot whiter and flow-y, to the point of being almost robe-like.

This go around at least. Got registered and everything.

No special rules. Load up your gear in your vehicle, go to the range, have fun and return. That simple.

As of now I pay more in just road and fuel taxes on an annual basis than the median income in this country. Now, I earn my living on these roads in a vehicle that is harder on them then your average four wheeler. I don’t mind contributing more to their upkeep. I do take issue with the manner in which that financing of the roadways is managed and how much is siphoned off by useless bureaucrats. I will return to Greg’s question of what is reasonable? “That’s up to society to decide“ is a dodge. So, what percentage of a persons income do you consider to be a reasonable percentage for taxation? What’s the number?

Tp put it another way, if slavery is equivalent to a tax rate of 100%, at what percentage is it not?

Gives a whole new meaning to “peep sights”.

I’d send an email to the guys over at Squared Away Customs to see if they have the molds for it. I don’t see that one listed, but they’ve got all the others so I’d check with them. They make really good holster. I’ve got 3 of them in different styles for my M&Ps.

When a person steals a little, they never stop there. They keep stealing more and more. It’s a compulsion.

That’s a DOT violation.

See, there’s the difference in our views on this laid bare. I can call an action stupid (or in this case lazy) without making a judgement call on the person themselves. So, no, I’m not calling you lazy, but writing political or ideological opponents off as stupid because they did or want something you think is stupid? Yeah, that’s lazy as ####. It’s also stupid.

You’ll notice I didn’t use any political identifiers either. That was intentional. I still it’s it’s unwise and lazy to write opponents off as being stupid, even when they make what appear to be stupid mistakes. Doing so generally doesn’t turn out so well.

While my opponent may have wildly differing goals or beliefs to the point of incomprehensibility to me, I won’t let myself fall into the lazy trap of believing that he/she is stupid. Once I do that I have laid the foundation of my own defeat.

Man, ain’t that a ***** for y’all?

Dude, you’re years behind the curve on that one. I wonder if a property tax hike that big will finally tamp down on the Nashvegas population boom?
