Are we allowed to talk politics on here? If we are I have a lot to say

Post by hobojim on Sun Mar 11, 2012 12:10 am i guess the EpA doesn't want the flyash to pose a threat to the asian carp after they arrive and destroy the lake. :shock: AND IF THE FLY ASH DID HARM THE ASIAN CARP, OUR GREAT GOVT. WOULD THEN PLACE IT ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST. :roll: :roll: :roll...

Add the C-130 to my list. The most versatile aircraft ever built. Behind the B-52 it is the longest running aircraft in the USAF. I flew on it one time, a medical evacuation from Vietnam to the Texas with many stops in between.

Aaaaand it was all a photoshopped hoax to stir the 1% vs. 99% pot: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/02/27/wealthy-banker-leaves-one-percent-tip-nasty-note-for-waitress-in-newport-beach/ Lol, that is a hoot. BUT , I still haven't found a banker that I trust. I have felt this way for 40 years and ...

Anyone else enjoy reading the comments at the bottom of the article? :lol: I wonder if the banker had problems with the waitresses service and the "tip" was sending her a message? Good point. Tips are to be earned, they are not a right. Using that as a benchmark, it is a good thing bankers don't ha...

Excellent link, 12bridge, everyone who posted on this subject should read it in order to get a true perspective of restoration.

I love to bike almost as much as I like to watch trains. It is many times safer to bike on a rail trail than on a road. Even though the law gives the same rights to cycles as it does cars, there are a lot of a..h.... who will purposely run you off the road. It is impossible to over state how much an...

One thing about railfans is there is no cure. I have loved trains all my life from 4 years old and no matter how long I might take a hiatus from it , I always come back.
See you in the future sometime,

Yes, she WAS a good entertainer but did not deserve to have State flags flying at half-mast. Agreed. Only those who die for this country and Presidents deserve the half staff.

Capital = all other uses of these similar words

LMAO, I think we all suffer from 'Capitol" punishment. Thanx for the laugh

Life in prison is considered capitol punishment? No, life in prison is not considerd capital punishment. I think the thread title comes from a POV that those who are serving life without parole for 1st degree murder could be candidates for capital punishment. I believe MI does not allow capital pun...

Does anyone know or know where I can find out, the number of prisoners in Michigan serving life without parole for 1st degree murder?

Its a nice way to cross the lake without having to drive a few hundred miles. My wife and I are going to take it this summer and visit the submarine museum in Manitowoc.
