Re: [MBZ] vote today for a woman named Sarah
So Randy...are you telling me that you think that what the disaster that we have now is and better than Palin at her worst! Barry so. Anyone think that the Republicans could or would have done any better in the past couple of years? Aren't you diehard Republicans secrety relieved that Ms Palin didn't make it into the head office? What if poor old John McC had suffered a heart attack and dropped dead??

But my point exactly about short memories. We the People were not too happy with the previous adminstration if one accepts that they voted Democrat because of unhappiness with the Republicans. Short memories. I really do not think the current administration had much choice in how they did what they chose to do. The lessons of the past - 1930's depression - were essentially that one must not tighten things up or it will get worse. Hopefully, what has been done will not prove to be as bad or worse. Unfortunately, we are not much different in Canada. In most of the recent elections the choices have been pretty poor and I have mostly voted against people rather than for people who ran for office.

What if poor old John McC had suffered a heart attack and dropped dead?? Most of the rabble are mad that he didn't fix the economy. Bush administration was trying to spend its way to prosperity, and Obama voted for that in October 2008, so the rabble had no right to expect anything other than more senseless spending and debt, but it appears they WANTED it, and now are mad that it didn't help much if any. One thing seems clear. Tuesday's election was, contrary to Obama's contention, a referendum on his policies, and We The People don't like it. Having recognized that, we can argue for months over why they don't like it.

I say Yes. I have never changed fuses as Dr. Booth suggested. Rarely have a need for fuse-messing unless I do something dumb. If I don't change out my fuses every 10 years should I still use Mobil 1?

Re: [MBZ] vote today
I did change all the fuses in the 300SDL - and it did cure several seemingly random electrical faults. There are a few such in the ML now - but it has the blade type fuses, and is only 10 years old - should I replace them now? Does Rusty have a kit of fuses for it???

Re: [MBZ] vote today
More like the last 100 years... Probably more. At least since income tax was established. It 10% is enough for God almighty, a mere mortal gummit ought to be pleased with 8 or so. Now the gummit total take among feds, state, property, sales, and so forth is over 50%. Randy wrote: And they sure do have a SHORT memory!

Re: [MBZ] vote today
I wondered about that 50%, so did someadding and calculating, pulling last years taxes, etc. Now, you have to factor in that I live in a relatively poor State, so YMMV - but our total tax load last year was under 20% - property, sales, state ,and federal. The feds got 8% - so they're right where you said they should be. Not that I enjoy paying taxes, but they don't seem to be as bad as many complain they are, at least here. Maybe you need to move South? On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 8:06 PM, Dieselhead 126die...@gmail.com wrote: More like the last 100 years... Probably more. At least since income tax was established.
