....the constitution is a magnificent document but---practically---useless in modern governance....
....libertarianism may provide the answer with the courts embracing the "basic normative theory".... I prefer to shop on old time main street rather than follow the majorities out to the university of walmart. But, I wonder if the courts will embrace that preference.

"So why don't you help the poor in Calcutta..." Easy, keith. Im sure he is just busy drinking from the gold chalice of wealth and sophisticated world travel. Ive done a bit of traveling too, dal, much of it courtesy of Uncle Sam. One of the most important lessons I learned is that we're all one percenters. Scary, huh? __________________ http://youtu.be/5rVzsEXk3kQ

I'm not a monarchist. I respect the way Queen Elizabeth does her job. I post this from the official website of the British Monarchy because of the ignorant nonsense of the Queen of England on the Canadian dollar:
"The Queen has a unique relationship with Canada, entirely separate from her role as Queen of the United Kingdom or any of her other realms.
"As in all her realms, The Queen of Canada is a constitutional monarch, acting entirely on the advice of Canadian Government ministers. She is fully briefed by means of regular communications from her ministers, and has face-to-face audiences with them where possible.
"The Queen personifies the state and is the personal symbol of allegiance, unity and authority for all Canadians. Legislators, ministers, public services and members of the military and police all swear allegiance to The Queen. It is for this reason that all new Canadian citizens swear allegiance to The Queen of Canada. Elections are called and laws are promulgated in The Queen's name.
"The Queen is represented in Canada on a day-to-day basis by a Governor General at the federal level and by a Lieutenant Governor in each of the ten provinces. The Governor General is appointed by The Queen upon the recommendation of the Prime Minister of Canada while the Lieutenant Governors are appointed by the Governor General upon the recommendation of the Prime Minister."

I see I've struck another nerve with the bloviating Canadian liar who pretends to ignore me. Cha-Ching! Maybe this at least partially explains King Brown's excitement and loss of bladder control over us having a black Queen named Barack Obama living in the White House. https://theobamahustle.wordpress.com/201...gay-bath-house/I wonder if Obama's preference for older white men has any significance to Burger King?
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

geeze...I've had shoulder surgery, knee surgery. My wife's had knee surgery, my son a had surgery.....all included x-rays, MRI's etc.
How many dozens of surgeries does it take to reassign someones gender. Is that really caring, understanding and open mindedness?
not sure that's covered, as are nose jobs, breast reductions, facelifts....unless a panel of doctors ok's it. you sure try hard to deflect from or avoid the topic. I hope your HMO is a true capitalist, and charges you an arm and a leg, literaly, should you need some surgery. Of course, private health coverage is perfect.
I drink from hand blown, Moser crystal BTW. Canadian Club (of course), Macallan, and Hennessy XO, usually touch the crystal.
Me thinks your jealous.
D.
Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

But hey, if all the Regan and the Bush's economics could get you is a hub cap....then....sorry to hear that. I can only hope your retired, that'll let me sleep, in my 800 count egyptian cotton sheets. D. D.

....I drink.... Deflect? You were belly aching about greed and the ruling class. Do you drink to forget? On a brighter note, sorry you folks have to face a death panel. Oh, I'm sorry not you, you get all the surgeries and xrays you could want. Is the panel of docs on standby to make decisions on elective surgery, or do rural Canadians with critical medical emergencies have to wait for 'approval' for a life flight. No big deal dal, it sure reads like deflection when sometimes you're the victim, crusading hand in hand with the little guy, next you're an elite, invitation only for the private club. Lucky you.
