A good proportion of those in prison are there for drug offenses, many minor. Fully half of federal prisoners are drug offenders, and about 1/6 of those in state prison. As for allowing women and minorities to vote...things were not better before that happened. Read some history, please.

I know Texas history is required in Texas; how can anyone in this state think that Anglos alone are responsible for establishing Texas? As for the rest of the country, Florida, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Texas were all Spanish developed territories. There were...

Texas has a very bad reputation for putting the innocent away. Here where I live, a man spent 25 years in jail for killing his wife. There was prosecutorial miscounduct, botched evidence and a da that refused to test evidence. The real killer killed at least once more, and an innocent man...

The transgender potty issue is actually an easy fix. In most homes, boys and girls' men and women use the same rest rooms. The deal is they all have a door and a lock. Shower facilities don't have to be gang style, rest rooms do not need to be huge and open. Additionally, no school is going...

These are what everyone in Southeast Alaska, day in, day out. They are long-lasting and durable. If you are looking for something else. http://www.x-tough.com/types-of-xtratuf-boots/#Original

When I was referring to the hiding going on, I wasn't advocating that. What I was saying was that the "Mayberry" mask wasn't real. When outsiders see a quaint little town, they don't see the nasty politics, the alcoholism, the domestic abuse, the meth labs etc. In the old days, people didn't...

I think there can be a lot done better in this world. I grew up in a small town Alaskan town where hunting, fishing and doing on your own was normal. Many people gardened, but many did not. Pretty much everyone hunted, fished and gathered. We didn't have TV for more than 6-8 hours a day, had...

The only types of birds allowed for apprentices are red-tailed hawks and American kestrels. They must be caught as first year birds.

The majority of the HOA board is in my camp, or at least neutral. And the animal control person was on my side as well. She knows you can't see my chickens from the road. My husband and I tried to see the birds, and the only way we could see into the run was to climb on the fence. I think...

whoops... I guess I was wishing for a spare $100 bucks for Christmas.

The Fed is about $100 years old, and our dollar is about 220 years old. So we have had a "Federal Reserve" for almost half of our money's history. I don't think it is going away.

Rufus, she's from Dallas. I think she wants the whole world to be like Dallas. This is the area of the world where they called in the SWAT team to raid a farm....what they found was compost and building material...

This person lives about 1/4 mile from me, but in my neighborhood. This summer she complained about my chickens to the HOA. The HOA rules say that no one can keep poultry "for commercial purposes"; and the board had previously ruled in my favor. I knew I was golden, but still had to deal this...

I have to disagree that there are few people who are raised vegetarian, and have never eaten meat. If you had qualified that with a "American" it would have been a true statement. I have quite a few friends from Indian, many of whom have never eaten meat, and never will. Some of their...

I think many vegans come at it from an animal rights point of view; hence no wool or honey. In the case of wool, the breeding, raising and shearing the sheep is considered unnatural activity, and in the case of shearing, stressful for the animal. Honey also confuses me, since you can take...

I get a little tired of the same stories about elected officials compensation and retirement benefits. They do not 100% of their final salary, the do not get it if they have only served 4 years, etc...here it is in black and white...

Congrats to your boyo!

A sad day for the world. He was one of the world's true heroes.

I think Punk has this situation right. You are dealing with someone with mental illness; your mother. I think, in some ways, dealing with a family member with mental illness is like dealing with someone with addiction. Your mother's behavior isn't going to change. It is who and what she is...

The other thing to keep in mind is there are fewer manufacturers than there are labels. I think only 3 or 4 companies make washing machines, the rest are relabeled. The relabeled ones can be cheaper or more expensive, so it pays to do your research. I have a variety of appliances in my home...
