Like I said, it ain’t about pay for me…

Boots and Sabers was wondering why someone would sign the recall petition against Walker, so I was happy to explain my point of view:

Many different people have many different reasons for signing the petition. The main reason why I signed the recall petitions is because the ban on collective bargaining goes way beyond the paycut that most public employees were forced to take. The trade that I’m involved in can be dangerous at times; people can get hurt on the job, and sometimes they even die. OSHA/State laws don’t always protect us (for instance, there is no law/regulation in WI in regards to workplace fatigue…working 10 hours without a break can be an inconvenience if you’re working at a desk, but can be very dangerous if you’re working around heavy equipment/machinery. Rigging/climbing is another example…there are a lot more) so we have safety rules & workplace conditions as part of the contract with our employers. Some of our employers include cities, counties, and even the State of WI, but ACT 10 has made it illegal for any safety issues/workplace conditions to be part of a contract with them, thus making it more likely that I or one of my co-workers will get hurt or killed while on the job. This is the main reason why I signed the petition to recall our Governor.

Different sort of solid oral meds are accessible at commercial center as a solution for ED yet viagra sans prescription canada keeps on being affirmed generally essentially in light of the fact that that it has worked for thousands of men with erectile dysfunction are hesitant to discuss their condition with other people. The act generic pharmacy cialis of Lovegra holds up for roughly 4-6 hour. Fortunately, there are numbers of herbal supplements to cipla tadalafil overcome PE. Is Kamagra as safe as the branded medication? Kamagra contains the active ingredient known cialis tablets as Sildenafil citrate. I don’t expect this would be enough to change you mind about supporting Walker, but hopefully you’ll be able to better understand where some of us are coming from….

There are more than just two choices.

Althouse was discussing Rick Santorum desire to wage a War on Porn and someone commented “If Santorum is the nominee, I’ll vote for Obama”, prompting this response from me:

Actually your best bet would be to vote for a 3rd/4th party that better suits your tastes.

By voting for Obama, you’re telling the Professional Pollsters that you’re willing to accept him despite his major flaws and thus nothing will change in the next election – the major parties will still keep on putting the same ol’ same ol’ on the ticket.
One cialis price should check a store’s payment gateway and its privacy policy. Alike gel drug, it is also available in foods fortified with it and cialis generika in supplement form. Sperm buy online viagra can survive up to 5 days in a conducive environment. The advanced formula of sildenafil citrate 100mg has been a main answer for treating erection issue in prescription order viagra without men.
If more people started voting outside the TwoPartySystem…especially if there are enough votes to “cover the spread”…then the PartyLeaders will see that they need to address other opinions/stances in order to win your vote. Until that happens, they can just ignore those concerns ’cause you’re still voting for their guy anyways.

It can be a slow process, but that is how Woman’s Suffrage was finally passed in this country, as well as the passage & repeal of Alcohol Prohibition.

Papers pleeze….

I keep seeing these long lists of stuff that everyone “needs” a Official Gov’t ID in order to accomplish (for both interactions with the gov’t as well as private business transactions) and I can’t help but wonder: Why even bother with a paper card anymore?

Perhaps we should have every citizen embedded with a electronic chip that can be used as an official ID. Simply scan your wrist and there is no question at all of who you are.

It would be easier, more cost effective, and less prone to abuse and counterfeiting…so why not?

It’s intended cheap levitra 20mg devensec.com for the men’s only use. Sex vaginal discharge fishy, color clear, might order cialis online have vaginitis, a timely troubleshooting. It is not only for men, if you are a woman and does excess smoking, viagra prices australia then you may face difficulty in conceiving a child. Same applies to buying best viagra or viagra. That was my comment in response to a post Althouse made in regards to the Voter ID Law in Wisconsin. What prompted my remarks was seeing several “small government” conservatives going on&on about how we’re required to show Our Papers whenever we do practically anything else, so what is the big deal about this law? Nevermind the fact that I haven’t been carded for booze for years (I guess that those particular commentators ain’t out of their 20s yet…NTTAWWT, of course), but it is kinda surreal seeing people on the right asking…nay, demanding….for this law to be enacted and their justifications for it.

I can’t help but recall what my favorite author once said about this issue: “When a place gets crowded enough to require ID’s, social collapse is not far away.” However, it seems like that battle is already over….ID are required and that ain’t gonna change. So if requiring an ID for anything/everything is how our society is to function, then why not take advantage of modern technology in order to make it more efficient?

Can’t get change by voting for the same ol’ same ol’

Alternate Brain posted a link about organizations that lobby in favor of the War on Drugs as well as an excellent editorial cartoon regarding medical marijuana, and it prompted this remark from me:

Unfortunately, this seems to be one of the MORE INFORMATION ABOUT KAMAGRA ONLINE: Active Ingredients: Sildenafil citrate and Dapoxetine. pfizer viagra mastercard As water passes by municipal collection facilities, it is gathered up and pumped to residential neighborhoods where the hardness causing ions begin to wreak havoc for homeowners. lowest price for viagra Since psoriasis is not caused by any virus or bacteria or any generic overnight viagra microorganism for that matter, it cannot be transmitted by either indirect or direct transmission.

Nothing will change on the national level until enough people start voting 3rd or 4th party.

Remember, a toker voting for Obama is like a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.

Ain’t about pay for me

Dane101 has a report about the rally yesterday, and one of the commentators in the thread said “Poor babies have to pay a small amount for your health insurance and retirement accounts. Welcome to the real world!! BOO-HOO!!!!”

I had this to say in response:

The reason I am against the ban on collective bargaining has nothing to do with insurance/retirement and everything to do with going home alive/unhurt at the end of the day.

Is it Possible to be taller after a Certain Age? at the age of 18 cialis generic uk or after 18 the rate of growth becomes too slow. it ceases after the age of 22 or 23. so, if you have crossed your teen age how can you gain height? we must have to know some factors to answer this question. There is risk involved however, acquisition de viagra so you need to take support of the person before it is too late to ruin your life totally. You also need to verify that the instructor is licensed to order generic viagra http://www.wouroud.com/process.php?ln=en practice in the state of Colorado and she is a member of American counseling association (ACA). There are so many online stores available in this jelly medicine. on line levitra The work my union is engaged in can be dangerous…even now-a-days people still die while doing it. OSHA doesn’t always keep up with our trade and there are very little state laws/regulations that cover our concerns about things like fatigue (working 10 hours without a lunch can be an inconvenience if you’re sitting at a desk, but can be deadly if you’re around heavy equipment/machinery all day) climbing/rigging and other issues….hence we want safety issues and conditions about our workplace in the contract.

Now that it is illegal to have any of those safety concerns addressed in a contract with the city/county/state, they will become mere suggestions…subject to the whims of the supervisors…rather than something that can be contractually enforced.

Don’t get me wrong…retirement and health insurance are something workers should be concerned about, but you were lied to when you were told that those issues are the only thing this collective bargaining ban is about. It goes waaaaay beyond this pay cut that Walker enacted…literally is a matter of life&death for many workers.

Local blogger is scared while at rally

Althouse was frightened by an encounter at the rally and she has video of what took place. This is my comment in her thread:

That is rude and creepy behavior for sure.

Makes me wish I had seen ya’ll in the crowd (and yeah, I was looking!) ’cause then not all your interactions with others at the rally would’ve been negative.

 

I can’t help but wonder tho…was all of her encounters with other people also this scary? Were all of the other signs she saw as nasty as the ones she posted pictures of? Having been at the rally myself I saw a lot of things she seems to have missed…those thoughts (and a few others) prompted this comment from me in her latest “open thread” post:
buy cialis line Apart from these, there are also some good medicines in the market that professes to solve these issues. Full-term newborn children likewise advantage viagra shops in india with expanded sharpness and social conduct, altogether less crying and lifted weight gain. Acid change in the bile is also dangerous. free levitra sample One in five men across the world cheapest viagra suffers from low sex drive and low premature ejaculation.

In one post Ann says that there is nothing wrong with crossing-over in a primary in order to vote for someone you think will weaken the other party’s chance of winning the general election, but in another she suggests that the mere act of having a recall election is akin to subverting democracy.

That doesn’t make much sense to me…can someone please explain how one person can hold both of those opinions?

Also, couldn’t help but notice that the reports from Ann&Meade about yesterday’s rally focused only on the few rude signs in the crowd and one boorish encounter, but they insist that they are “neutral” in their coverage of these events. Did nothing at all “positive” really happen to them? Was every sign they saw really as nasty as the 3-4 pictures they posted?

Rude signs at Rally

There was a rally at the State Capitol today, and self-described “neutral” Althouse was there to take pictures. I had this to say in the thread:

When I saw that “Dick Tater” sign today I thought to myself that it’d show up on this blog for sure. 😀

I had an short convo with the guy holding the “Stand with Walker, not with Union Thugs” sign. I asked why he thinks we’re thugs and he said his sign didn’t say that all union members were thugs. We talked a bit more, but he seemed upset after I mentioned the legal fund our Governor has just set up so I strolled away.

Ann responds to that comment of mine and then asks me “Why don’t people who profess to believe in democracy accept the results of an election and concentrate on beating him in the next election?”…and this was my response:

You seem to be saying that regularly scheduled elections is the only proper way for a democracy to function and that having a process that allows for the citizens to call for an earlier vote subverts democracy. Would you mind clarifying that? ’cause I don’t understand how having elected leaders more accountable to the citizens means we end up with less democracy.

She seems to not have an answer nor response for that, so if anyone else wants to try and explain her line-of-thinking I’d appreciate the insight….

Flying Penguins

“Is anyone here allergic to penguins?” the captain of Delta Flight 486 from Atlanta to New York asked passengers—including this writer—on Wednesday night. “No? Alright, we have a surprise for you.”

“How would we even know if we were?” I asked the woman seated next to me in seat 33D.

“He can’t be serious,” she said, pausing briefly as she flipped through her copy of Sky Mall.

But sure enough, after the plane reached a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet and the seat-belt sign was turned off, a pair of penguins waddled down the aisle from first class.

“You can take pictures, but we ask that you don’t touch them,” the captain announced.

I’d probably have to sit on my hands in order to follow that last request…’cause if I got that close to an actual penguin I’d have to at least pet it. Rest of the story, along with a video clip, is here.

This is a short clip of the same pair on an earlier leg of the flight:

Right-wing preacher says “legalize” but left-wing blogger says “no way”

Caffeinated Politics has a post about Pat Robertson being wrong to say that marijuana should be legalized, and I had this to say in response:

Just curious…do you think we should ban booze again?

I’m also curious to know what “modifications” do you think should be enacted that would make the War on Drugs….especially the War on Tokers…..a success?

When should a judge recuse themselves?

Althouse made a one-word post (“So?”) in regards to a County Judge that signed a recall petition against Walker but also heard a case about the Voter ID law. I had this to say in the comments:

Is this the same judge that took thousands of $$$ in services from a law firm in Milwaukee that then also appeared before him in several different cases, or am I thinking of someone else?
