The atheists, agnostics, and Freethinkers are motivated to prove that you don’t need religion to be good and the religious people think they are good enough without really doing anything for the homeless guy. The results are skewed by these things.

Mental composition is there by 7, but helping them learn to live best with their personalities emotions strengths and weaknesses, interests and motivations is a much longer job. A 7 year old can be misdirected terribly over the next dozen years with very serious consequences. Nobody will do it perfectly but there is still a big job to do. There is a ton of ongoing care and nurturing due to them.

Some people are good with soup sandwiches, so I won’t say “run”…but definitely understand everything from every angle.

We don’t have a trust. Some very long term friends agreed that they would take our kids and be executors of the trust and then we just dropped it. I am not sure why…I think I feel guilty about putting that on them even though they agreed. Still in Limbo

Besides the issue with the earnest money use, I would be very careful about title on this one.

Is a court supposed to sign off on it? Any pending law suits?

I don’t know about this case but like seeing the government back down.

No doubt land control/development/use and influence peddling go hand in hand. It is apparent the environmental issues are a tool in that. Governments have lots of ways to extract wealth and opportunity from privately held lands to support the machine or pass on to favored parties.

[quote=spdrun]If the sheriff decides not to do anything, what about printing up official-sounding mailings yourself “GUN OWNERS: KNOW THE LAWS!” and mailing them out to people in the neighborhood? Stamps are cheap.[/quote]

Interesting idea but it doesn’t sound like a safe thing to do. No, people in power will have to want to take the lead.

Dianne Jacobs. responded to my email inquiring as to why shooting laws are not enforced out here. Just a note to say she forwarded my email to Sheriff BIll Gore.

It was a PDF format so I am wondering if this is not something they send out on a regular basis. I can see several people calling or writing her after every weekend since we are talking about huge semi-rural areas and lots of shooting. If that’s all true, it means nothing will get done about the shooting. That lack of enforcement will probably continue.

Wait and see.

If the laws are in favor of making it safer I am going to ask the politicians and sheriffs to make a public awareness campaign on the legalities of shooting, print notices/warning in local media….maybe more signs in neighborhoods.

Thanks AN, does the carp make good soup if the chunks have been stored in the freezer or does it have to be fresh?

[NotCranky]

I was reading that it is not really bad, just super boney. I tried to filet one , that was chore….very tough bones but the meat looked good.

I killed a big one last week. I don’t like to kill them but my dog has been bitten twice. Not going to relocate them.

[img_assist|nid=17996|title=Just fish|desc=Just fish|link=node|align=left|width=86|height=100]Sounds like fun, I’ll have to keep it in mind.

I was wondering about asians and eating the carp fish.Is it poor people’s food or just anyone might eat them? I pretty much only see asians deliberately fishing for them. I remember a nice acquaintance saying it was good for soup. Maybe Flu or AN can say so?

Last week we caught 4 of them totaling around 25 pounds One was pretty big, around 10 pounds.It really wasn’t convenient to give them to anyone , like it would be if I lived in the city. They ended up getting buried in the vegetable garden.

Either way the justice system, at some levels anyway, is ensuring that bad people win, have more power, etc.

[NotCranky]

Is it wrong to say that the system is designed by and for Lawyers and is very subject to political and emotional leanings of judges? That justice and efficiency are coming in way behind money( $300-$400 hour for your basic litigator) and politics?

[NotCranky]

On the civil side, It’s way too expensive, way too slow. If you are being bullied out of something worth less than 50k or some quality of life issue is wrongfully being smashed by someone who is too belligerent to go to mediation there is no practical remedy in the legal system. This is because any court case could easily cost more than what your problem is worth and take two years or more ( which is another quality of life issue in itself).

Then after you have committed these kinds of resources the goddam judge will rule on some goofy sympathies if they feel like it. Balance hardships where there are not any to balance, possibly causing the plaintiff very serious consequences beyond the costs and aggravations of the original problem, the legal fees, and the disaster that spending the time in the legal system is.

Or if things go to a settlement the process starts to resemble forced mediation, something unscrupulous people use the extract things of value or convenience they don’t deserve from innocent people desperate not to litigate.

With our system it is very reasonable to just eat problems if you are truly a civilian and bankrolling your own cause. How is that a path to justice?
