Basically, like every government plan, program, or initiative, it gets bastardized and fails due to Mission Creep and other factors until it ceases to do the job that it was designed to do.
Utter failure, really
Just wait….the Government isn’t done with you yet…..
Yes, the building is salvageable. Yes, we caught it early., so the damage was limited…
Yes, a lot of water damage, and yes, I have to get the roof fixed.
The alarms system appears to be damaged (EMP? Dihydrogen oxide?) dunno until the experts come out on Monday. The internal video surveillance system has issues….again, maybe EMP?
Insurance is, sadly, unreachable til Monday AM.
All I know at this time.
‘Twas an interesting day.
I thank you for your thoughts and words of encouragement.
’cause I gotta find one to sacrifice.
My business got struck by lightning Sat evening AFTER the storm had passed.
Fire in the attic. I don’t like fires.
Lots of water damage. And, of course, the firemen cut a 6’x8′ hole in the roof after the fire was out…..(I’m not criticizing, I just don’t understand WHY they do that…..I am sure they have a good reason….right?)
Twice this year. Getting a bit irksome. (Ok, a lot irksome). I am getting tired of this game. Once was enough….I am feeling a bit put upon…..Yeah, a LOT of people are worse off in this world, but I still think it sucks royally. A lot. with Berries. Srsly. Enough, OK?
So if anyone has a goat that I can sacrifice …..
now if you’ll excuse me, I got a whole shitload of cleanup to do…
So it would seem that the Australians are becoming aware that there are some seriously whacked out Islamic Radicals who wish the rest of them harm….and that there is no easy way to stop a whacked out psychotic islamic nutball who is wielding 2 swords without getting seriously hurt….especially when you cannot give them a high velocity lead injection.
With ISIS arrests, Australians wishing they had guns.
I mean, a quarterstaff works to disarm a whackjob swinging a sword or two much of the time, but you gotta practice even more than with a pistol…and more often.
Nothing like a 230 G .45 at 850 FPS….or a 9mm (more likely in Australia) 124 G at 12oo or soFPS.
(Although #1 Buckshot might be an appropriate substitute….)
But being disarmed, they have little to fight back with.
But that is part of what you get when you allow the Liberals to disarm you….
To remain serfs.
The reported count is 55.3% to 44.7% to keep themselves as part of the UK….They chose to be (again) the reheaded stepchildren of Britain. Poor treatment and less political power for the, same as before.I guess they chose security over freedom. Serfdom over independence.
I am sad for the (nearly) half that had the guts to try and be their own country.
Who block your blog from open internet connections.
Do you really think that if we are on an open public internet connection we care if someone might be able to see what we are reading? (hint: the NSA already can) It’s not like I am putting my credit card info into the internet just to read you blog or anything….Does it make YOUR blog any more secure?
Can any of you explain just exactly what you are accomplishing when you block those of us who must sometimes use and unsecured network?
’cause I fail to see what it does for security.
So a Federal appeal court says, in effect, that if someone is offended by the American flag, (especially on the uniquely american Cinco deMayo) that the American flag must not be displayed.
Interesting.
I find the flying of flags OTHER than the US flag here in the US to be offensive.
But that, my friends, is a First Amendment right….(which I actually agree with) so I can’t do anything about those flags….
But a US flag? Offensive to Mexicans? Gotta go. Can’t offend our brown Brothers…
Fuck that. Equal representation under the law.
GUess what I’m gonna have allover come next Cinco De Mayo?
I’ll probably fly it from my truck in Hispanic neighborhoods too..
Theater shooting victims parents sue online retailers over ammunition and gear used in attack.
Are we gonna let people sue Chevy and their dealers everytime someone buys a car and then later mows down a pedestrian? Drunk or sober?
Sue Louisville Slugger everytime a kid hits another with a bat?
Belt manufacturers everytime sombody beats a kid too much?
Or Independence day….or even Christmas!
Yeah, Sept 17 should be a Holiday . A big one.
Why?
It is Constitution day. Today is the day that, 1n 1787, the US constitutional convention actually signed the Constitution.
This day, IMO, is as important a day as nearly any other. It is the anniversary of the creation of the set of rules that effectively makes this country what it is. It sets forth the freedoms and basis of our system of laws. IT LIMITS THE GOVERNMENT.
SO think about it today. Today marks the anniversary of what makes the US what it is.
AKA “Steal anyone’s money we can because we can…We are cops and because drugs“.
Seems that everyone is finally figuring this out….
Some commentors think I am overly negative about this practice. Perhaps I am. They seems to feel that it is OK, if it catches one drug smuggler …I think that it needs revision if it inconveniences even one innocent person.
This is theft, plain and simple. No one should have to account for the source of the money they carry unless they have been PROVEN to have committed a crime and it can be proven that the money or goods was/were from profits from illegal activities.
Anyone involved in such schemes to steal from the citizens of this country should be charged with theft….Officer or government official or whatever. No immunity should apply.
Link fixed!
