The real problems start when enough of them move in to be able to legislate

There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the
mashed potatoes.

You claim to know the objective of the attacks?

No, but just look at what terrorists have done over the years. Strike and
watch the chaos.

Arizona, North Carolina, and Florida get most of their growth these days

from
retirees. I suppose most of the rest are mainly attracting businesses?

Georgia
certainly is.


Where did you get that info? NC, for one, is growing leaps and bounds in
the research triangle area, which is Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill. The
ocean, up and down the coast is booming, for tourism and the services
required to service the tourists.

No doubt, there are some retirees settling along the coast, but that is not
the largest percentage of property use; rather rentals and time shares.

Look at the growth of the Charlotte area. They are building a couple new
large high schools, every year. Retirees don't have that many kids. ;-)

Hundreds of readers responded to last week's column about airport
security.
These were letters from Americans who fit no terrorist profile -- airline
pilots, mothers traveling with children, disabled people, elderly and
other
law-abiding Americans -- and yet were frisked, groped and hassled. The
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) behaves as if all passengers
and all baggage pose an equal security threat, and that's stupid, because
not nearly all passengers and baggage pose a security threat.


This article seems to indicate that:

a) Airport security HAS been improved, since they are frisking everyone.
(They certainly never did that pre-9/11)

and

b) Political correctness, dictated by umpteen zillion stupid lawsuits over
the years, dictates that the TSA must frisk EVERYONE, even though any idiot
knows that a 93 year old woman in a wheelchair is probably not a security
risk. It's a sign of the times, not of the TSA.

How does this article support your point?

you can also traceroute from your PC: open again this black box, type
"tracert www.alexisparkinn", then you will see all hops an IP packet makes


Neat-o. Fun to watch all the twists and turns it took to get to Jav's
server!

Yeah, that danged "majority rules" thing always seems to ruin a good
thing...

Cute expression - 65,000 equals a city. That's a town, not much more than
a village.

120,000 a metropolitan area - that's just a big town.

What does it take to become a city in the US?


Where do you live, Chris?

Like it or not Norm Mineta is the big reason profiling is not allowed. His
parents were sent to the Japanese camps in WWII and it is his way of getting
even.

Frisking everyone has little to no effect on security. There are dozens of
other ways to get what terrorist need on to airplanes.

The lawsuits could be prevented by a simple act of congress. I doubt there
ever were lawsuits but it is an easy scapegoat for the PC ninnies.

The fastest-growing states by 2030 are shown as Nevada, Arizona,
Florida, Texas, Utah, Idaho, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington, and
Oregon.

Except for New Hampshire (15th: ugh!), the Northeast is essentially
irrelevant.

The top ten states in 2030 are shown are California, Texas, Florida,
New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Carolina (!), Georgia, Ohio,
and Arizona.

Florida displacing New York at 3! North Carolina displacing Ohio at 7!

Don't give all the credit to the internet. UPS has a lot to do with
it, too


I knew their drivers could be promiscuous, but I had no idea....
