    Social Security should have been private to start with if we were going down that road. I would have 3-4 times the income from stocks than I have from SS.

    When I do buy stock, I expect the best return possible. Anything else is stupid.

    I suppose if you believe burning a hole in some metal or damaging electronics is killing.

    Directed energy is technically accurate.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
