All you need to do is shoot a leopard early and we will fish this river.

If one puts their hopes and dreams into elections and political parties then this is indeed a scary time and always has been. I voted for Trump but do not agree with many things that are taking place. I believe less government is better, that government control of most areas of life is wrong...

Penguins are not the cute cuddly tuxedo wearing birds that they are often portrayed as. I can remember watching a documentary in the 60s that was aired by the BBC, this is back when the BBC was a legitimate organization. Giant penguins with stinging tentacles were clearly portrayed.As we...

Tundra Tiger did you get inked. I did a 4 year stint in the Navy and left unadorned, although I did by a few in my service years. A cobra on the arm of a girl that had led me astray and a revenge tattoo on a shipmate that needed to learn humility. In Naples Italy my shipmate Scott ( The...

There are examples of how European countries give exemptions to VATs, my purpose was not to impune the idea but add to what is actually taking place. I personally think the entire premise of government tax on private industry is a step in the wrong direction. If one is to read into the process...

A VAT (value added tax) increases the price of a commodity. This does not occur in the USA. When building a device each item that goes into the manufacture of that equipment is sales tax deferred. Tax is paid when the finished product is sold. With VAT tax is paid at each step of development...

LBJ, no way. It was Joe DiMaggio, JFK a Bostonian (Red Sox fan) vs Joltin Joe. Last game between the Yankees and Red Sox in 1963 was a win for Boston. This did not set well with Joe and what about Marilyn Monroe there’s no sweeping that one under the rug. Forensic evidence found that the wooden...

The problem that occurs when an institution accepts money from the government is that there are usually strings attached, although I sent my children to a private Christian school I never felt that I was owed reimbursement. This is a sacrifice that one makes and should not expect others to foot...

There is one other aspect that is becoming more common, I have several family members and friends that home school their children. Had I not been able to send my kids to a private school I would have opted for this choice. It is not just academics but the unteaching of moral values that may...

You used the word “believe” in you response, just trying to be helpful.

I am in Fenton. Welcome aboard.

The US voting population has made a decision to reject socialism and big government. The phrase “ The government that governs least, governs best” has been one of the driving factors in Trumps election. I do not agree with the drastic way that this is being implemented but appreciate the...

This would seem an large size to hunt small game. I have a sxs perdersoli in .72 caliber, which is comparable to a 12 gauge in diameter. Track of the Wolf has 550 grain round balls (.715 diameter) that fit snuggly with a patch. Although The max load is 120 gr of FF, I found it was most accurate...

I agree with planting trees, the US has more trees then in recorded history. Trees like CO2. I do not believe that man made activities can change the climate in any appreciable fashion. Please convince me that I am wrong. Tell me if there are lifestyles that contribute to climate change. Human...

Conclusions are drawn from facts, I do not “believe” the earth is warming from the presentation of evidence, the mistake you make is “believing” that everyone should agree with you. “Man made climate change” is a code word for socialism. If the facts clearly pointed for a coming catastrophe as...
