Native Son replied to Sean Grogan's discussion Opposing a Charter of Secularism in the group Catholic Men"From what I've seen in other venues, this Quebecois initiative sounds a bit like it has the same motivation as California's Proposition 187 did back in the 1990s.
It's apparently a reaction to the perception (and I will not comment on…"
Native Son replied to Nick H's discussion This is a stick-up! Now hand over your profits! in the group The Great Debate"It's been said that the only "business advantage" Texas enjoys is that "the Leg" only meets for one short session each term. Unlike California, where enough poor fools drank the koolade about the wonders of a…"
Native Son replied to Nick H's discussion This is a stick-up! Now hand over your profits! in the group The Great Debate"A Hypothesis. This particular set of hearings might be because the fellow is one of the folks lobbying for another loophole, in order to avoid paying taxes if that $100 billion ever gets back into the US. It's an unanticipated…"
Native Son replied to LShieldes's discussion Scandal run down in the group The Great Debate"As I recollect, from dim memories of the required classes. You do have the right to remain silent under oath. BUT. You do have to state the reason as invoking your 5th Constitutional Right. "
Native Son replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"OK, OK. Texans excepted. And the picture one isn't what I had in mind. I was visualizing the BIG belt plates my brother routinely wins at the Turkey Shoots. by direct observation, most guys just can't quite pull off one…"
Native Son replied to Nick H's discussion This is a stick-up! Now hand over your profits! in the group The Great Debate"Actually, it seems to be related to Apple finding a nice, legal tax dodge. What the hearings showed is that under US law, Irish subsidiaries can't be taxed as American companies. Under Irish law, those companies are considered…"
Native Son replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"Unless you're into rodeo or skeet shooting, avoid the huge belt plate buckles."
Native Son replied to LShieldes's discussion Whistleblowers vs leaks vs security in the group The Great Debate"I think what's going on with the leaks is two-fold. First, there's that streak of "I know better than anybody else" that seems to infect "Progressives", of whatever political persuasion. Second, how is…"
Native Son replied to LShieldes's discussion Scandal run down in the group The Great Debate"Re: the IRS. This demonstrates the unfortunately typical lack of proper internal analysis and leadership/supervision that has noticeably shown up and been in the mainstream press. Apparently there seems to be no need to question…"
Native Son replied to LShieldes's discussion Scandal run down in the group The Great Debate"Some new information came out about what started the whole AP mess. NPR reported the AP was leaked enough information, which they published, that blew the cover of the mole the CIA actually had in place with the bad guys.
The IRS affair…"

Native Son replied to C.C. Dolph's discussion Standing up to "The Man." in the group The Great Debate"Except that Brown v. Texas (1979) is not the controlling SCOTUS citation. That would be Hiibel_v._Sixth_Judicial_District_Court_of_Nevada (2004) that allows the police to require your identification during a this sort of…"
Native Son replied to C.C. Dolph's discussion Standing up to "The Man." in the group The Great Debate"Actually, the courts (all the way to the US Supreme Court) have held you generally must identify yourself during a detention. Whether you must provide written identification varies by circumstance and state (for instance, if you're…"
Native Son replied to C.C. Dolph's discussion Standing up to "The Man." in the group The Great Debate"Oh well. No matter what the fellow says about predication, he has no knowledge of what was reported to the cops. Sure sounded like the cop was trying to find out what's going on and was the guy legally entitled to have the…"
Native Son replied to C.C. Dolph's discussion Standing up to "The Man." in the group The Great Debate"Well, first off, trying to argue court decisions with a beat cop is pretty much going to get you no where.

The Beacon is Lit.
Posted on December 8, 2010 at 1:32am 0 Comments 0 Likes
It's Pearl Harbor Day.
On the evening of December 7, 1941, the aircraft navigation beacon on top of Mt. Diablo, east of San Francisco, CA was not lit for the first time since 1928.
The rotating beacon has a visual range of some 200 miles, well within the flight range of 1941 carrier based bombers, and it was feared that Japanese would use the beacon to bomb the San Francisco area.
The beacon was not relit until December 7, 1964.
It will be lit…
Continue Culmination Day.

Almost unbelievable! Our daughter just "culminated" from elementary school today. Good grief, it seems like only a couple of weeks ago she was a "Campbell's Soup Kid" look-alike of a toddler. Now, she's on the verge of becoming a young lady. Absolutely amazing how quickly time flew by.
One minor note. I laughed at the contrast between her Culmination Ceremony, with speeches, awards, certificates and cake and my successful departure from elementary school, which was on the…

Matt Eo replied to Andrew Bennett's discussion The death of neck ties?"I think the neck tie is becoming less popular in some parts of the country and in some professions, but I don't think it will ever go away completely.

Sex Symbols
From the Grammarphobia blog.Q: In a recent radio appearance, you said the idea that “he” can refer to any human being – man or woman – was introduced in the 18th century by a female grammarian. I think you’re wrong. The concept of male as universal has been around much longer.A: If by “male as universal,” you mean using male pronouns (“he,” “him,” and “his”) for women as well as men, the idea did indeed begin in the 18th century.Before then – for two centuries, in fact – it was considered…See More
Andrew Bennett posted a discussionThe death of neck ties?
I heard that according to researches that the neck tie is expected to become obsolete in the next few decades. Because more and more men are dressing more casually these days thanks to Facebook and google where the CEO shows up in jeans and a hoodie. So is the neck tie really becoming obsolete or are men just not caring about his personal appearance?Please feel free to give your taken on this.See More
Chuck Knight replied to michael mckeown's discussion something for summer in the group Manly Hats!"What are you looking for, in terms of style?
Where I live, a "white" straw cowboy hat is very common. Affordable, too.

Chuck Knight commented on Steven C.'s group Exercise"Hello, Ivan. Welcome. And, thank you for the offer of assistance. I may have to take you up on your offer."

Ivan S commented on Steven C.'s group Exercise"I started working out a few years ago, but since 2011, I am taking it seriously. I've managed to gain 40+ pounds. I'm interesting in exchanging information to help each other out...anyone?"
