Something else to do in the "northern" off season!

Tom's last 56 posts took 32 days, off-season I guess. Factoring in holidays and a couple of horses finally dying, I'll extrapolate that to 35 days. That works out to Jan 2, which I'll pick.

I didn't say I was a (capital "L") Libertarian, but I do lean that way with respect to the proper role of the federal government. State and local government is another matter (or used to be before the 14th amendmend made us all one big happy overpowering government...).

The states and locales do have a proper role in exercising their police powers, including regulating public nuisances and laws regarding public safety. However, even that is being abused by the anti-smoking, anti-alcohol, and anti-fat nazis.

How's that? :cool:

Crap, I was hoping you were one of them "Disband the FDA cuz its not in the constitution" "if the market demands a red light district next to the elementary school who are we to regulate?" libertarians.

We probably agree on more than we disagree then, since you have a brain, unlike hard core libertarians/anarchists so unfortunately I cannot provide for you the post whoring opportunities you need. 😀

As you said, crap! (Increasing the post count on the cheap....) 😉

Hows that?

You're dream is realized! Such a place already exists.

It's called Washington, DC.

🙁 I have decided today that I do WAY to much READING of these discussions and WAY to little time POSTING!:eek: I guess most of the time some of the discussions are just way to much flaming of other posters. I just try to sift through everything thats been said and try to pick up some solid knowledge.
😀 Now I'm only 4,945 some odd posts behind irish!😃 😉

Dakota

Hey, if you consider what we do here "flaming", you must consider the baseball board to be a freakin' inferno! 😉

PABlue

😀 That's exactly right Dakota! LOL I wasn't speaking of the softball board in particular when I said about flaming.I was commenting on the forums in general how stupid they can get. I belong to ABUA and NFHS also and I can't get over how stupid some people can get. I will say that the baseball board seems to be the worst.:rolleyes: I don't look at all the boards here just the ones for my sports which are baseball,softball and wrestling so maybe somewhere else is worse.
I just want to let you guys know how great I think this place is!Like I said I don't post much but I READ everything trying to learn anything I can.

I was gonna say, here on the softball board there is nothing remotely near flaming. Even when we disagree, we tend to do it with style.

Well.... could be that one could view the umpire as part of a facist governance of a highly regulated system of softball.

Will that work.

I predicted he would do it yesterday, so he's probably tormenting me.
My new guess is the 10th.

Actually, it is the off-season, holiday season mellowness.

Fascism on the softball field is OK by me, so long as I'm the one in charge!

It's called Washington, DC.

New motto for the district's license plates:

"Washington, DC—A Work-Free Drug Place."

In Trenton, New Jersey, years ago, the operators of a day care center complained about the crack house nearby. Authorities immediately investigated and promptly shut down . . .

the day care center.

Well....the actual date was 1/25/07. We should have gotten into a discussion about background checks a long time ago! 😀

Second-guessing is a national past time, even when it's aimed at yourself.

BTW, second is like a silver medal in the Olympics, everyone else but the gold winner thinks second was ok.

Second place is the First Loser. 😀 😉
