Around here we don't cut cookies we do donuts. Skid around so that your tire marks make a big circle in the snow.

I was thinking of laws that limit action in an attempt to 'save' citizens from themselves. Banning trans-fats from restaurants, for example, which implies that restaurants are to blame for the porcine rear-ends rather than the over-indulgant mouths feeding them. If people demonstrate that they are generally inherently incapable of making decisions for themselves that will benefit them (such as not eating trans fats), then isn't law obliged to intervene? After all, the government ends up spending billions on people who's (whose?) health is failing after a lifetime of making such decisions. Less federal intervention seems to work only if the people being governed have the ability to govern themselves. Our high rates if diabetes and heart disease speak for themselves; most Americans (I include myself in this assessment) seem incapable of making responsible decisions about what they put in their bodies. I agree with you that it's ridiculous that we need such laws. But until we are a nation of educated, self-respecting, health and integrity oriented, law-abiding individuals (which will not happen so long as we continue to widen the abyss between those who have and those who have-not), I believe that we need laws like the one banning trans fats For anyone who wishes to make my post more word-related, I'm sure that I made a conjunction-related mistake somewhere or misused a word.

>make my post more word-related
well, okay. regarding it's and who's then.
if you truly have this problem with possessive pronouns, and aren't just having us on, try this: would you put an apostrophe in hi's or her's?

oh, and Porc? I don't think anyone here really came down on dahil until he started bubbling back up his political posts, claiming all the while that he just couldn't help himself due to the onset of senility(!?).

has any really come down on Daleh at all?
have his posts been deleted? (only 1 to my knowledge)
has he been banned (even just for 24 hours?) from making posts?
has he been warned he will be be banned?
no, no, no.
has he made it clear he KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING? (in spite of his claims of "senility"
and his mocking claims of "OH, i must be terrible"?
yes. at this point, it's pretty clear, Dale is low level troll who is, like a two year old, has no sense of boundries or polite behavior.
and he thinks himself too clever by half. He finds a nice place, and isn't happy till he has proved he can make it it mess.
(and then pats himself on the back and tell himself "what a good job I've done)
and eventually, he will be banned here, just has he has been banned else where.
