"Show me the man and I'll show you the crime" -Lavrentiy Beria, the ongest-serving secret police chief under Joseph Stalin

It's not for you to judge whether you're innocent in the eyes of the government.

Feeling that this may be my last Mn.convention - I am adding a bunch of my traps to what I usually sell at a convention.--I can hardly move in my basement and have yet to bring in all my footholds let alone all my 330s.
My problem is vehicle size.

My choice as well.

I got my share of spankings growing up. Some for stuff I deserved others not so much. My ol man was always ornery so I think he must have enjoyed doing it. Mom had to stop him several times yelling enough was enough! My parents divorced when I was a kid and mom couldn’t control me. However a quick phone call to ol dad would straighten me up quickly. I firmly believe in spanking a child when they need it but there is definitely such thing as spanking for ridiculous reasons or spanking too much. I am also a firm believer in kids needing a strong male presence in a home to keep them in line. I am a father of 3 now. I rarely have to spank my kids. My son is older and admits he is not scared of his mom but he is afraid of me. Its a healthy amount of fear. The kind where he knows he doesn’t have to walk on eggshells around me and he can be himself but he clearly knows right from wrong and knows ol dad won’t put up with crap long. Mom on the other hand is more of a pushover. She threatens with “If you do that again Ill spank you!” Well she may say that three times before she actually does it. I on the other hand do it after the first warning didn’t sink in. My daughters get spanked semi regular for not cleaning their rooms or taking all day to do it. Threatening them doesn’t work, taking electronics away doesn’t work, but by God after a spanking buddy the cleaning starts! All three are great kids. They know how to act in public, are respectful to others and cause no mischief otherwise. Overall I believe spanking works when necessary and a good male role model in the home works wonders.

Good dealing with Monster Toms

Nice catch of fish

When the left, including many on this site, read or hear something they disagree with they invariably make comparisions to the austrian corporal?

Why not the georgian bank robber? Or the chinese librarian?

Good afternoon mole

Way to go.Very nice.

Like ,and love my 211.

I would argue that without voluntary peaceful seccession as a lawful protected option and ultimate check in our system of checks and balances then all other checks are now meaningless having only the strength of tradition and lip service. Because ultimately without it we are subject to the tyranny of the majority or strangely enough as long as one side abides by the legal fiction, the tyranny of the minority as we are now experiencing. It all puts the lie to Jefferson's words,

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness".

They will work fine, just check early and a shock spring like the old Northwoods had, help also. they are mostly found along the transition zone between crop land and wild ground.

Thank you all for the insight and encouragement. Definitely a roller coaster.
