No, it is about respect. Everyone wants it no one wants to give it.

This is a level of wrong that I can't even comprehend. They need to run this all the way back to the source and then send him down the road with nothing. I can't even imagine carrying out the order to do it. These people lost their lives protecting our freedom. They deserve to be treated with the dignity in which we would give a president. It is that important.

No, because nothing is sacred! Yet, so many want to act like nearly everything is of rather high value.

I know I am different than most people, including ways and manners sometimes detrimental. But I wouldn't have followed that order if it was given to me even if I was informed that the family had authorized such a disposable. There would be a couple of hundred vases, or perhaps jars, at my house. If I could find a contact for a family member they would eventually get a call. If no one wanted them then I would keep them. (And I really believe the part that leaves this world is the part that matters.)
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

BING!!!
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
