Hillary's Amendment

No point in trying to vote against any of them. Just move away.
Watching their tax base disappear can have a salutary effect on
politicians. Heck, why do you think we call the Washington State
Legislature the Idaho Economic Development Council? I bet that Jeb Bush
is very grateful to the governors of both parties of those states that
just passed huge estate tax increases.

In theory, this doesn't sound all bad. We've been saying all along
that GA is a small risk and that the FRZ is unwarranted. If they
actually study it, they might find that out.


Right. Well this is admittedly a wild-assed guess, but I would suppose
the "conclusions" of such a study are already known quite clearly.

Too true...but they have a point...put even a small thermonuclear device
in a Cessena 150 and.... :-O !

That would suck. Democrats don't bother to campaign here, they can't
win. Our one Congressman sent us all a letter in April of 2004 and said
that was the last we'd be hearing from him as far as campaigning was
concerned. He didn't spend a nickel after that and still clobbered the
tomato can the Democrats offered up. If you didn't watch the national
news and therefore didn't have to watch the ads of Bush and Kerry you
would never have known there was an election.

And what will happen to that FBO if this commission causes Congress to
order that you have to go through airline-class security before being
allowed to fly your plane? Schumer, who happens to be one of the
sponsors of this bill, is on record as saying that that's what should be
done.

It'll never pass.

Put a thermonuclear device in a Ford Escort and.... :-O ! It can carry a bigger
one than the Cessna can.

Let's hope you're right.

It is rational to do a security assessment in a relative way. Would you
really expect rationality from such a study?

The "Stars and Bars" ... Confederate Flag

Actually,
The "Stars and Bars" was a different flag, but don't fret..alot of people
get them confused. The Stars and Bars was the nickname of the first flag of
the Confederate States (March 1861- May 1863), but it was a reason the
Confederate Army adopted the Battle Flag. During a heated battle the Stars
and Bars could look like the Stars and Stripes, and the soldiers wanted a
flag they could see and recognize in battle. The Battle Flag never flew for
the Government of the Confederate States, it only flew on the field of
battle for the men fighting . And just for the history lessons sake the
Battle Flag was really a square shaped flag, the copies you see today of it
would actually be a Naval Jack.
