Here in NC they are working on a bill that would allow CC in parks and restaraunts that serve alcohol (as long as there is no alcohol being consumed by the bearer). I'm hoping it passes, too.

What happened to the White Fleet? American hostages freed just because we got an *adult* in command instead of a "gentleman peanut farmer"? What happened to the will of a people that pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps; from poverty into the most powerful economy on the planet? What happened to the nation that saved Europe's collective bacon not once, but three times in one century? What happened to four letter responses to demands for surrender? Well said sir!

Besides these duplicates, it is also time to kill the dept of energy and the dept of education. We don't have more energy at a cheaper price nor our our kids better educated since these depts were created...time to cut them out root and branch.
