While you're at it, go ahead and start lobbying for cheaper gas prices. If everyone else did the same, we wouldn't have this problem.

Although I don't agree with you in this thread - ya have to try....the solution on this one is don't buy gas next weds. If we all do it...

Let's see, it's called voting for your school board, and going up to the school

Ah, FF. You're one funny duck with a little detachment from reality. Do you REALLY think you're opinion would matter in Baltimore? That's the general point I was trying to make. You can do everything possible - being retired - and it would still be futile. There are plenty more there that people care about more than you and your opinion.

These large districts will set precedence and it's done. Even if you do keep it out of your smaller district (I live in one too, specifically because of this shit) - every other kid grew up used to it - totally negating any good that we agree on.

At least he is actually trying. If everyone else did the same, we wouldn't have this problem.

Don't know why I quoted you, just there.

A problem is hard working Americans are just that. Hard working. Work, family and home take up 110% of their time. Where is the time for us to go lobby, even at the local level. There are a couple of folks I knew did that, until they got married, had a kid and bought a house. ***Remembered why I quoted you. To an extent you can expect a certain amount out of people. Remember though, we're not all retired and are on our toes all the time trying to stay ahead of the f'ed up policies sucking our pockets dry - regardless of the touchy feely reasons.

On the flip side. All the folks that have nothing better to do, they can protest and do whatever it is they do to convince politicians their votes are important. oh, and they still reproduce more than a lot of us have. So, 18 years from now all those new babies have that much more voting clout. Which means those who reproduce most are going to win, essentially. This is not a race thing either, it's a...don't know term...lifestyle thing. So, if the lazy ass mo-fos who like government funding and big brother reproduce the most - they win. As far as I can tell, it's happening already. Why else would we be in the shape we're in?

Which leads me to the conclusion I came to about a year ago. What I considered the stereotypical American 40+ years ago is like those old tools that never break. We'll fight the good fight but there will be less and less of us. The difference is, I think after we've all lost everything due to (at the end of the day) piss poor management and corruption of our country, we'll probably band together in one way or another and fight back. The shit will hit the fan one day, just not sure if it is 5, 10, 50 or whatever years away.

The sad/funny part is, we'll be criminals beyond all belief when we're push against the wall that hard. I think things like what we saw in Austin and other places that we all consider extreme now, will start it all off.

That group will likely fail end game, but what other choice will they/we have?

I hope and pray I'm completely wrong, that the US stands together for the country as a whole and kicks these politician's asses out of Washington (down to local government). Then opens the way for honest leaders to take their place.

Okay, you can stop laughing now.

Your ignorance can not be blamed on your keyboard. Those are far more than typos. Look, Justin... If you want to have an intelligent conversation, you must first appear to be intelligent. Catch a clue, you backwoods fuck.

I will try to improve . My typing skills aren't the best . However some of my keys are broken and only type the letter half the time. I may invest in a new keyboard .

I'm so glad my crotchfruit hasn't come into fruition. I don't know why anyone wants to raise a kid in this society.

About this? Doesn't seem to be working very well in your favor.

Take your ID, put it in the microwave, and turn it on for 5 seconds. RDFI chip disabled.

Then they kick you out of school, charge you with a felony for damaging their property and then sue you $1000 for the replacement cost.

Texas schools punish students who refuse to be tracked with microchips

A school district in Texas came under fire earlier this year when it announced that it would require students to wear microchip-embedded ID cards at all times. Now, students who refuse to be monitored say they are feeling the repercussions.
Since October 1, students at John Jay High School and Anson Jones Middle School in San Antonio, Texas, have been asked to attend class with photo ID cards equipped with radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips to track every pupil’s location. Educators insist that the endeavor is being rolled out in Texas to stem the rampant truancy devastating the school's funding. If the program is judged successful, the RFID chips could soon come to 112 schools in all and affect nearly 100,000 students.
Students who refuse to walk the school halls with the card in their pocket or around their neck claim they are being tormented by instructors, and are barred from participating in certain school functions. Some also said they were turned away from common areas like cafeterias and libraries.
Andrea Hernandez, a sophomore at John Jay, said educators have ignored her pleas to respect her privacy and told her she cannot participate in school elections if she refuses to comply with the tracking program.
Hernandez said in an interview with Salon that subjecting herself to constant monitoring through an RFID chip is like being branded with the “mark of the beast” – a reference to the Bible's apocalyptic Book of Revelations. When she reached out to WND with the school’s response, though, she said that she was threatened with not being allowed to vote for her school's homecoming king and queen for disobeying the student ID rule.
"I had a teacher tell me I would not be allowed to vote because I did not have the proper voter ID," Hernandez told WND. "I had my old student ID card which they originally told us would be good for the entire four years we were in school. He said I needed the new ID with the chip in order to vote."
After Hernandez refused to wear an RFID chip, WND reported that Deputy Superintendent Ray Galindo issued a statement to the girl's parents: “We are simply asking your daughter to wear an ID badge as every other student and adult on the Jay campus is asked to do.” If she is allowed to forego the tracking now, the repercussions will be harsher than just revoking voting rights for homecoming contests once the school makes location-monitoring mandatory, he argued.
“I urge you to accept this solution so that your child’s instructional program will not be affected. As we discussed, there will be consequences for refusal to wear an ID card as we begin to move forward with full implementation,” Galindo wrote.
The girl’s father, Steve Hernandez, told WND that the school was somewhat willing to work with his daughter, but said that the family is unwilling to “agree to stop criticizing the program” and publically endorse it.
“I told him that was unacceptable because it would imply an endorsement of the district’s policy and my daughter and I should not have to give up our constitutional rights to speak out against a program that we feel is wrong,” Mr. Hernandez responded.
The Northside Independent School District expects to collect upwards of $2 million in state funding by reversing its poor attendance figures, with the RFID program costing around one-quarter of that sum to initiate and another $136,005 in maintenance. The new funding may not offset the other damages that could arise: Heather Fazio of Texans for Accountable Government told WND that she filed a Freedom of Information Act request for $30 and received the names and addresses of every student in the school district.
“Using this information along with an RFID reader means a predator could use this information to determine if the student is at home and then track them wherever they go. These chips are always broadcasting so anyone with a reader can track them anywhere,” she said.
Kirsten Bokenkamp of the ACLU told the San Antonio Express-News earlier this year that her organization expected to challenge the board’s decision to use the tracking system, but the school went ahead with the program undeterred. Steve Hernandez told WND that he approached the ACLU abour representing his daughter’s case, but Rebecca Robertson of a local branch of the organization said that, “the ACLU of Texas will not be able to represent you or your daughter in this matter,” saying the case did not meet the group's criteria.

It's happening people WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!! They are implementing this and are ostrisizing and cutting out the people that refuse to abide by it. Soon, you and I won't be allowed to vote or do normal things without one. That is the day I start killing the people responsible for it. Mark my words. Whomever you are out there, if you try to do this to me or my family, you are a marked target.

[ceyko]

You mean other than make people aware of it and make sure it doesn't happen in my school district?

Understood, but has it ever given you any FTF or FTE problems or any magazine issues that many have experienced?

I've never had an issue with it. She fires perfectly, though I keep her oiled like crazy

[SS Junk]

I know it's inevitable but it doesn't mean I can't fight it.

My PT145 is a great pistol, but a bit bulky for summer carry. It's my winter weapon

Good luck with that. You, as a Christian should know this kind of thing is inevitable.

P.S. You never did answer my question about your PT145 as your carry. Too cool for school?
