Did you see MVB's most recent post on the matter? http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-sipsey-street-public-service.html

I do wish them success, but they sure need to up their game from the Jetta my wife had. Our experience with that car was so bad we will never purchase another VW product ever again. 

Ditto.  :hat:

It's good manners.

What does government have to do with the rule of law? Our government has long abandoned operation by the rule of law and is almost completely lawless now. Rule by diktat and fiat is the modern MO. Only the thinnest lip service is given outdated ideals such as "rights" or "liberty" that belong to the individual free from infringement by the state.

Is this about soccer? :shrug:

MVB hit a home run with that one.

IIRC it was folks that attempted to file but were late and missed the deadline.

[quote name="sigmtnman" post="1116227" timestamp="1393295798"]Service unavailable?[/quote] Crap, it isn't working for me right now either. The article was about the state of CT sending out letters to late filers telling them to get rid of their prohibited items.

[quote name="bersaguy" post="1116133" timestamp="1393285999"]I don't think they will allow him back in. They have seen all the trouble he caused here and they have enough problems already............jmho[/quote] He doesn't want to go back because if he does he will be forced to answer some unresolved questions about a phone hacking scandal.

Exactly. Anything the fed.gov can force the states to allow today, they can force the states to prohibit tomorrow.

You make a pretty valid point. I prefer my bigots (whatever stripe they may be) to be out in the open so I can avoid them altogether.

Maybe I should have used the /sarcasm tag. I figured the quotation marks (as in I was quoting someone else if not in word, but attitude) and the whistle smiley would have imparted that was my intent. I guess not, my bad. If you read the other CT thread it is more than obvious what my stance on this is and what I think is the proper solution to correct it as well.

I'm calling shenanigans as well. 

Waiting for it to complete then I will binge watch it. I have a hard time keeping up with TV shows. The advent of the streaming and the ability to binge watch an entire season over the course of a week has been a godsend for me.

"it'll never happen here."  :whistle:

I got the Liberator as well. Usually a virtue, your single-mindedness can blind you to what is around you. Sometimes crude, you don't put up with formalities and don't need the finer things in life, just the things you really want, like nachos.

  YES!

I would suggest that you should read some more Old Testament. Specifically everything prior to Kings. It was the people of Israel that beseeched God for a king and he gave them one, only after telling them of the sorrow it would bring them. A very strong argument exists that He desires for us to live directly under His rule.       Prior to God giving Israel a king, he sent them Prophets and Judges at the specific times that they needed them. They chose instead to reject Him for a king and political solutions.     Edited to add: I am not attempting to actually make the argument that God endorses my political views. My real point is that the scriptures are large and varied and one should be very careful before claiming He endorses ANY man made solution as God likely has His own ideas.

Nice job slightly altering your language there but it doesn't fool me. I still don't think you actually understand the words you are using. Your civics teacher gets an F.   What has been proven time and time again is that men of baser instinct are attracted to government because of the power it wields and then use that power to control, steal from and murder their fellow man by the millions. Once again, I ask of you the question Frederic Bastiat asked nearly 200 years ago.  

Mark, you are half right. I am not looking for definition B, but would be very  happy with A. The strain of anarchism that I most closely identify with is Anarcho-Capitalism. This would be the system I would choose if it were up to me, but it isn't. As I mentioned before, I can accept a semi-minarchist style of government which would very closely resemble the very small federal system our government initially resembled, not the many tentacled leviathan that seeks more and more control that currently exists. So while I do advocate ultimately moving towards a voluntary based society, I also advocate returning to the constitutionally limited republican form of government this nation once had as a more immediate method of restoring individual liberty. I can start a thread about Anarchism/ Voluntaryism and we can discuss its merits and flaws as it may provide a nice illuminating discussion. I'm going to leave that subject here with this quote on the supposed rampant violence of anarchy folks love to bring up.       All of that aside; Now to Robert.   You did an admirable job of deflecting the subject away from your own confusion of democracy with the republican form of government that our nation was intended to and at one time did have. The founders of this country viewed democracy with the same sort of revulsion that most of us here today view communism. They understood that democracy was nothing more than mob rule. Here are a few quotes from John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on the matter.      Just to throw this in as a bonus, make what you will of these quotes from Jefferson and Adams.
