Obviously, the problem could be solved with more gun control laws even though France already has extremely harsh gun control/bans etc that law abiding citizens follow.  However, even though the areas attacked by the terrorists were gun free zones, we need to penalize the law abiding even more to make ourselves feel better.

Many employees in the post 9/11 federal branch has become a totalitarian, regime, with little regard for, and zero understanding of, civil rights.

Evidently many Americans don't care.  They are willing to give up their freedom, liberty, and rights for Kabuki Theater Security.  As long as they have the Kardashians to talk about, then everything is OK in their little bubble.

So long as the Judicial and Legislative branches allow the Executive to continue unabated nothing will change unless it is to get worse.

A lawless, imperial President is the single greatest threat foreseen by the Founders and is specifically why we have separation of powers, and the Bill of Rights.

Since Congress has repeatedly abdicated their responsibility (most recently with the budget, Iran and pacific trade deals) it would be insanity to expect anything different from them.

As for the Supremes, they are part of the problem at this point having given up on any semblance of evaluating against the Constitution and instead choosing to continue to legislate from the bench.  The Roberts Court will go down in history as extremely damaging.

We are witnessing the slow death of the shining city on a hill, not as we feared from the outside, but from the inside exactly as Khruschev threatened.

'Gimp

^^^^^^^This!  Since the Dems have the mainstream media on their side, as well as government, and education they can get away with illegal laws, and violating the Constitution at will with immigration, Obamacare, use of government agencies to penalize conservatives, etc.  If the Republican do any of this stuff, the media would be howling, and create public outcries, and thus political pressure.  The Dems don't have to worry about that.  Double standard, and hypocricy anyone?

There seems to be a growing trend with some cops to demand COMPLETE submission.  If you don't immediately comply, or ask questions you run the risk of what happened to this girl.  They also have become government, thug fee collectors as more, and more they find ways to levy fines, court costs, penalties, etc.  No different from the mob if you ask me, accept they have badges, government bueacracy, and the courts behind them. 

(We don't need no stinking badges!)

IIRC the Traveler had 150HP, the Cheetah 160 and Tiger 180.   So fuel burn should be around: 8, 9, 10.5 respectively @ 75% power.  Is that about right?  I've seen Travelers for 25k and Cheetahs for 35k and Tigers for 55k.

Yes, that is pretty much spot on for the fuel burn.  I think your prices are pretty close too, but as I am sure you know avionics, time, condition, etc all make the costs go up and down. 

Bingo. Boomers want to be "friends" with Millennials instead of "parents" or "responsible adults", so they indulge them with this wacko shit that is doing nothing but further dividing society.

Yes, we are intentionally being further, and further divided so their is no consensus, and therefore politicians/government can control us better because their is NO UNIFIED RESISTANCE nor accountability.  Identity politics is ruining a once great nation.  We are all at odds with one another thanks to government, education, and the media.  The great triumvirate of evil. 

Just keep on promoting your kind of hate. Why is it that those who love the constitution, particularly the 2nd amendment, seem to forget we have a first amendment?

Since when have I tried to limit someone's free speech???   

The two issues I stated as missions of NASA are true.  So, I don't understand your statement at all.

My, my.  A minority person in academia trying to raise a fuss over race.  I never heard of that one before.
