All of these are areas with very high proportions of African-Americans. What exactly are you trying to say?

The liberal/socialists of this state are truly trying to bankrupt it.

Nice way to change the subject.

When this country resembles a Mad Max movie......well then, at least we have a place to flee to.........Thanks Democrats.

Actually, I strongly share your sentiment...


...but sadly, history is not on your side. As soon as the "mob" you entertain with liberal policies decides they want value (in any way) from those 50 million acres, they will be sold.

You need to take some time off, lower your stress, what happens if you stroke out sometime in the next 3.6 years. None of this stuff that gets you wound up is worth a farthing.

Holy smackers Batman. It isn't the liberals that want the public land sold off, or the resources extracted. It is the conservatives (who don't conserve) Don't you remember the Sagebrush Rebellion? That effort to sell off the public domain was exclusively the right wing whackos.

Now, I have known a lot of loggers, and a lot of miners, they want the resources from the public domain (in the case of miners, without paying a nickel into the US treasury for the privilege) None that I ever met would be considered liberals.

You need to check things out, whenever a person ascribes traits to a group, it is helpful to know whether the group warrants it.

In this case, you got it exactly backwards.

This is a cost control nightmare.
It doesn't have to be a cost-control nightmare. If people paid similar premiums to what they are paying now and the middle man (blood-sucking insurance companies) are cut out of the picture, it could work. It does in other countries, why not here?

If you think the government would be any better, I've got a bridge for sale.
