		<description>Heh, read it and weep, Max!

&lt;i&gt;Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms byfelons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those 
“in common use at the time” finds support in the historical traditionof prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. &lt;/i&gt;

http://supremecourtus.gov/opinions/07pdf/07-290.pdf

The upshot: as I predicted, not much would change. Absolute bans are history, but reasonable regulation will continue.</description>

“&lt;b&gt;U.S. Army Corps of Engineers admits fault&lt;/b&gt;
On April 5, 2006, months after independent investigators had demonstrated that the levee failures were not due to natural forces beyond intended design strength, Lt. Gen. Carl Strock testified before the U. S. Senate Subcommittee on Energy and Water that, “&lt;b&gt;We have now concluded we had problems with the design of the structure.&lt;/b&gt;” He also testified that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did not know of this mechanism of failure prior to August 29, 2005. The claim of ignorance is refuted, however, by the National Science Foundation investigators hired by the Army Corps of Engineers, who point to a 1986 study by the corps itself that such separations were possible in the I-wall design.[16]

Nearly two months later, on June 1, 2006, the &lt;b&gt;USACE finally and unequivocally admitted responsibility for the events in New Orleans&lt;/b&gt; with the release of the completed report. The final draft of the IPET report states the destructive forces of Katrina were “aided by incomplete protection, lower than authorized structures, and levee sections with erodible materials.” “</description>

Regular - what a choice of names! I have read many of your posts. I just cant help but wonder if your name is trying to tell us about the nature of your bowel movements, or the type of fuel you burn in your vehicle. :roll:

I confess. I am not good at jokes at nearly 5 a.m.

But this one I could not resist!
---------------------------------------
Only a lib, an old cranky one would be interested in someone&#039;s bowel movement.

I wonder if Chas/Das/Sugar aka SquarePeg is gonna have a &#039;Carlin&#039; soon?

One never knows when they go from human to worm food.

Too bad for them,  the devil&#039;s foot will be on their chest once they get there.</description>

&#039;Regular&#039; hates tree-huggers.

He inaccurately blames them for the NO levee failures, when the real cause was USACE&#039;s design flaws, and improper construction.</description>

		<description>fleetwood posts:  “Well, note the lack of coverage of McCain hoping for another attack on the US because that would help his campaign:”

ben– You used to be better than this. McCain “hopes” for another attack?

The dems know it would help his campaign. We all know it would help his campaign.

Answer why that is true and you will figure out why Obama won’t win in November.
-------

I&#039;ve been wondering since I heard this stupid statement McCain&#039;s adviser made:  why would this be an advantage for McCain??

bush tells us the ONLY reason we haven&#039;t been attacked since 9/11 is because he has kept us safe, thwarted attacks...

McCain promises to continue bush&#039;s policies.

So if we were attacked wouldn&#039;t that prove bush isn&#039;t keeping us safe?  Isn&#039;t thwarting attacks?  And wouldn&#039;t that further prove the McCain&#039;s promises to continue bush&#039;s policies also wouldn&#039;t keep us safe??

Let&#039;s go over this again!  the only reason we haven&#039;t been attacked is because bush has kept us safe from attacks.  McCain will do exactly what bush has done and keep us safe from attacks.  And being attacked translates to helping McCain??

That&#039;s some weird thinking there!

Is this when I&#039;m supposed to be afraid, very afraid??</description>

		<description>Actually Maggot, Norway does shale exploration, just not here in the U.S.  They have some of the worlds finest seismic exploration teams.

Estonia has extracted shale from rock for many years now.  They are not an environmentally friendly country as it as an cold war mindset that didn&#039;t care about things.  But their shale oil production they export to countries like Germany and others.</description>

The Norwegians can do it, so can we.

The operative word in the above sentence is CAN.

The real question to that is would we bother? If a CONservative, the answer is, eh, not so much.

Come on, Regular, do you really want to be known as a tree hugger?

Didn’t think so.
--------------------------
Actually, I worked for a organization that called itself Environmental Services.  They did field and lab measurements of pollutants and worked with Occupational Medicine Physicians that needed particle surveys done in work areas.  They also helped with fire protection surveys, HAZMAT, Physical and Radiation hazards.

So, I guess you could say I already am a tree hugger of sorts, but I was more vested in human protection than resource or environmental protection.</description>

		<description>MP - I doubt that Regular has any experience in shale extraction.  It is a fascinating study but has never made it out of the lab.</description>
