What's ironic now is that he's gotten older and his skills have declined so much he's not allowed to transport his grandchildren anymore. (He may also be drunk most of the time) Yet he still has his license. I'm tempted to yell that at him but he also needs hearing aids.
So, do you consider Timothy McVeigh a real patriot?
Well, let me ask you this, that part in the Constitution, that gives the people the right to throw off govts and install new guards for their future...would that be 'terrorism' or 'patriotism' if a tyrannical govt was in power?
It would really depend on what side you were on, to the govt, or anyone that works in Govt, (whether it be federal, state or city), and also law enforcement, such a thing would definitely be terrorism, but to the general public, it would be patriotism.
Another thing, those men that took part in the Boston Tea party event...do you think the king of England saw this as terrorism or patriotism...how did the people in the colonies see it?
Point to me if you will, the specific portion of the Constitution which grants the government the power to regulate marriage.
If the Left would realize that it doesn't......then maybe they wouldn't need to spend so much time demanding that LGBT folks be granted the right to get married when the government has no constitutional authority to prevent it.
See if you can grasp the simple concept that you shouldn't have to beg the government to grant you permission to marry someone when they have no legal standing to prevent you from marrying them.
When you get that....then you can move on to the others.
I agree that the LGBT folks should be able to get married without the government's or anybody else's interference. But until then . . .
This collecting of rainwater is not everywhere, Just in some parts of the country. Oregon is most notable. Some guy had a farm and would collect the rain water and have it go through filters to water his plants and livestock. Somewhere down the line, county officials declared that water coming from the sky belongs to the government, so anyone collecting it without a permit or license is stealing. They used this guy as an example. Fined him, and ordered his home made designed filters to be destroyed. I see it as the rulers of this country are threatened with intelligence, so they will punish those who use that intelligence.
This isn't the case of some guy using rain barrels to collect the water running of his room. He actually built multiple reservoirs on creeks that flowed across his land. These reservoirs held over 13 MILLION gallons of water, that could no longer flow downstream to his neighbors. He wasn't collecting water, he was destroying all of the ecosystem that no longer had a natural water source.
If anything that man is an example of exactly why we need government regulations. No person's activities on their land should be able to destroy the value of anyone else's privately held lands nor that of those held in the public trust.
