Of course he does, that's what a good race hustler with no other real discernible purpose in life will do. he should really call himself into his office first.

thankfully nanny Bloomy is gone because you know he'd be on the great cinnamon crusade too .
Hello again, nanny staters:
Does YOUR state ban anything?? Bwa, ha ha ha ha.
We don't ban cinnamon, sodas or washing your car in your driveway.
Just gay marriage, abortion, and voting rights.Quote:

Stop taking broad statements personally so we can discuss the actions of what has been done by conservatives that have the power to make laws, and the laws they make.
Dude, as long as you continue this faux war on women meme and lie about voter Id, which most people support and I've already shown increased turnout in texas, don't preach to me about having an honest discussion. I was totally honest in my response.
Look they will get to that, we had a socialist government who did infact do more than ban you washing your car, they banned washing down of hard surfacesQuote:

Why is it illegal in some places and NOT others?
Best guess is because of arcane water rights laws that date back a hundred years or more in some of the Western states. If a stream is dependent on run off ,and the run off is being captured by homeowners ,then the person owning the water rights of the stream is being deprived of that right.
The "logic" behind banning rain water collection is a fear that the collection will affect the recharging of the streams .
Also many of these rain collection vessels are plastics and as such release Bisphenol-A (BPA)into the water being stored ,especially when it's hot. BPA free barrels are available however so that is not really a justification for banning water collection.
Here in NY there is pretty much an abundance of water .We occasionally have drought restrictions so the reservoirs can be saved to water the golf courses.
I heard some idiots here were contemplating restrictions ,but it won't go anywhere.
The state apparently owns the rain, unless of course the runoff from your property cause problems, then it's all yours.
Nanny Bloomy banned indoor e-cigs use on his way out the door. Nanny de Blasio ,not to be out done announced that he wants to get rid of horse drawn carriage rides in NYC. Rides on carriages around Central Park have been a popular tourist feature for years . But de Blasio says it's cruel to the horses. It has also been a lucrative business as you can tell by the prices .
Central Park Horse & Carriage Ride, Wedding Carriage New York
Animal rights groups claim that it's inhumane to have the horse working on the streets of NY because they are exposed to exhaust fumes, and are overworked (sounds like your typical NYC pedestrian and commuter).... and have come up with an alternative "vintage" electric 'horseless carriage'to replace the attraction.
Will This Antique-Style Electric Car Replace NYC's Horse-Drawn Carriages? - ANIMAL
Best guess is that the quickest way to ensure a breed's extinction is to eliminate it's purpose for being . What is the future of the working horse breeds ?
Typical ignorant elitist nonsense. You'll be happy to know it's still perfectly legal to have horse drawn carriage rides in Texas. Occasionally you'll still see folks riding horses in town in these parts.
I'm guessing this will make ex proud...

Anyone else get the irony in scientists announcing today that the earth is warming even faster than expected on the same day it's announced scientists and passengers finally got rescued from being trapped in the expanded Antarctic ice?
Don't know what they were researching but it was to commemorate the 100th anniversary of a voyage led by Australian explorer Douglas Mawson. Either the ice breakers were tougher then or the ice is worse now.
This site is reminding me of healthcare.gov more every day. I have no idea what you posted tom, I get this:
someone should say how to post a pix. I put it in the thingy that says "insert image" .
I just used the old "manage attachments" button below. Let me see if it works this way...Quote:

Attachment 45401
Ah, it worked for me in the preview then vanished. Which is another glitch, every time you edit and click "save" it acts as if nothing happens, but apparently it does. It's all very confusing now.
too bad ... I have a bunch of pix about the ship of fools stuck on Gullible's Island.
you can "go advanced" and use the "manage attachments" option below the advanced window, it still works.
Try saving the image on your own computer or coverting it to a jpeg file
forget that . We had the ability to post pix before all the tinkering . I'll wait for the heads to figure it out .
yes I see you can't post coloured signatures anymore, I do like the new look now I've go used to it, but it is annoying to have to navigate to the the most recent post. I don't like setting the default to bring up the most recent post, you tend to loose the thred of the conversation
btw , the 'humane 'organization that is pushing the horse carriage ban is a front group for a politically connected (and de Blasio campaign contributor ) real estate developer who wants to convert the stables on the west side to parking lots ,and storage space. DeBlasio is just another lefty hypocrite.
Yes, you find them on both sides of politics. Best found in those who hold political office.
yeah that's the fall back position but since the lefties point the J'accuse finger at us all the time ,turn around is fair play.
So as opposed to pointing out all those who do it how can the situation be fixed? I think we know the motivating factors.
got me . If someone like De Blasio ;who spent a career doing the populist pablum, railing against the privileged ,makes his 1st act as mayor a payoff for a political patron,( who should be ,according to his rhetoric ,right in his cross hairs)....then perhaps there is no answer .It's just the way it is .
How about trying to remove the incentive for politicians to do these things? Just saying "It's just the way it is" is basically giving up the fight.
uh huh . You think funding reform works . That's a fantasy . To illustrate ,this crusader for the common man de Blasio opposes a lawsuit in NY that seeks to scrap the state’s $150,000 cap on an individual’s total annual political gifts. But in 2005 ,as a City Council member ,he pushed a law that created a special exception to let unions ...and only unions skirt a $4,950 cap on gifts to candidates.
He's beholden to union support ;especially public unions. Hence his support for scrapping non-union charter schools . So let me hear you and all the lefties here call for hard limits on union spending for candidates ;remembering that taking public union money is a conflict of interest for elected officials who have to negotiate public union contracts ...then perhaps I'll listen to the phoney sanctimony .
I'm no "lefty" and it certainly has nothing to do with which political party one supports, if any. All are in it for the money from special interests groups, not to represetns those that elected them. Greed is the motivating factor by far.
You obviously have no interest in seeking solutions - just in continuing to whine moan and about "lefties" when the "righties" do the same thing. That's partisan politics at its best, and a very shallow view of the problem: visit right-wing blogs, find articles, repost here, repeat ad nauseum.
Perhaps if you can convince the left of their phony sanctimony we might get somewhere. It's not us in denial.
Did I stutter? (a speech saying) It's not a left/right thing.
It's the denial and phoney sanctimony that's mostly a left thing. You can't fix a problem you're b*tching about if you're complicit or in denial, and quite frankly I'm fed up with listening to such hypocrites lecture us about it. When they DO something about their own then they'll have standing to talk about it, but they need to clean up their own damn house before preaching to me. Understand? Clear enough?Quote:

Does anything work right here any more? Are they trying to emulate healthcare.gov? Changed my profile pic and it still shows the old one. So anyway, my new puppy...
is that an Aussie cattle dog ?
