Get insurance, pharma and hospitals out of stock market. Then America will have a chance over wall Street and stock portfolios. When stockholders are more important than the health of a nation then that nation will not endure. American's to be so rich, so powerful is so blind.

Why did you not turn him in to the authorities? He is not allowed to possess a weapon or have a CHL if he suffers from mental illness. If you knew this and did not report him you are culpable.

Gladys: For many it all boils down to flexibility, if one owns a home they are tied to it's ownership and upkeep directly, if they desire a more transient lifestyle, this simply limits that flexibility. Many don't want or need the financial or foundational aspect of home ownership.

Just to set the record straight, I supported ending prohibition. (Small "l" libertarian) It was unproductive and adults have a right to chose their methods of recreation. What I was pointing out is what Boozer did. The revenue pales in comparison to other taxes and the distribution formula is wrong.
