Immigration hawk Pearce elected president of Arizona Senate

I admit I am a little surprised, even with all the Republican gains, that this guy was elected president of the senate. I guess we know which way the legislature is likely to lean this next session. http://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2010/11/03/immigration-hawk-pearce-elected-president-of-arizona-s

Actually, no. I don't. How does the government enforce regulations/behaviors? They will incarcerate and/or fine you. And if you ignore that fine, what is the next step? They will forcibly take your property or your money. And how do they accomplish this if you resist? They will show up with

Re: The Happy Meal Nazi: No Toys for You!!!!!!!

The penalty for saying 'no' to McDonald's is that for one meal, me and my kids don't eat fast food. The penalty for saying 'no' to the government can be a fine or jail time. See the difference there? With McDonalds, I still have a choice, with the government, not so much. On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 a

RE: Obamacare will likely shrink the economy
