How fast and far could she have gotten handcuffed. The officer just didn't want to have to run after her and was mad that she disobeyed him. That's not a good enough reason to taser somebody. Of course, she should have cooperated to avoid any problems.

Perhaps, rather than trying to make such lying illegal, there should be a web site to easily verify anyone's claims and make sure it is well promoted.

Who is Ort and Melissa Williams? I feel left out.

I just heard that Walmart only sells gasoline (Murphy Oil) from oil pulled from sources on American soil only. Some other American-only gasoline is Flying J, Sunoco, Conoco, Sinclair, BP/Phillips, Hess, ARCO, Maverick and Valero. Most others are Middle-Eastern sourced. I have to support Walmart on this.

The owner should have been put down! That owner better pay all the boy's medical care and then some. And if he makes them sue him, he should lose everything he owns to that family.

Edd's big song was "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb." I smoked my first cigarette because Ephraim Zimbalist, Jr. made smoking look so cool on that show. [/quote]

He really was soooo cool! If I remember right, he died of emphasema.

Not a bad person?! Only a bad person would take advantage of a stranded mother and steal a car with two little kids in it.

[quote][b]McCarthy[/b] - The entire thing sounds pretty perverted.

So, if your former girlfriend was angry with you and she posted your name on Craig's List under 'men seeking women', would that be perverted or just juvenile and mean? Or would you be happy to take the calls and e-mails?

What insurance; read your policy.

[quote][b]Anonymous Dude[/b] - Being that We The People own the LEOs and their equipment and their dogs, [/quote]

I've been hearing folks talk lately about the people, not the government, own this and that. It's a trend I find a bit disingenious and annoying. We do not own an officer of the law any more than your boss owns you. I believe we settled that issue of owning people about 150 years ago.

I just had this discussion with a retired cop last week and this is what he said was true. He also said he personally thinks the requirement to wear seat belts is wrong and that he never cited anyone for not doing so unless he cited them for other things. Cops have this discretion.

[quote][b]SilencedBlue15[/b] -
Again you are very incorrect

Pardon me, but your statements are annoying. If you believe the statements are incorrect, then tell us why they are incorrect and then what is correct. Otherwise your statements are moot.

i'm assuming he was being sarcastic.

Thanks for your perspective! I could use a few more male points of view if anyone would offer.

It's all that fracking that's causing all these quakes! Gonna be the big one any time now.

Well, you've done your small share of dumping. This is replacement for television I can't afford. Same sort of wasteland except it increases my keyboarding skills and does make me use my mind a little less passively. So go on moaning and laughing just to pass the time.

That may be true, but when I lived in Nashville in 1972, it wasn't such a nice place. Evidently they have cleaned it up.

I would like to see clarity on this issue in the law. Assisted suicide should be available to everyone, but only under reasonable guidelines. We want to be sure no one is "talked into" suicide by practitioners or by well-meaning or not so well-meaning relatives or friends. Perhaps requiring a brief number of counseling sessions and a doctor's assessment. As always, the details are the hard part. Deep down I would want suicide to be a private affair, but we have to protect citizens against undue pressure.
