  1. I'm an Eagle Scout (once an Eagle...) of course that happened in the late 60s. Tried to get my son involved back in the late '80s early '90s. He showed a bit of interest and tried Scouting for a year or so. I was not very impressed with the troop. I was involved on a small basis but it seemed to me the adult leaders were more interested in making fabulous meals than woking with the kids. Times change, too many other outside activities. The 1948 Handbook and Field Book are the best ever survival books ever.
  2. What do you expect from a guy who had to fund his own organization to get his medical license
  3. I don’t live there anymore but I’m not a big fan of Ms Stevens. She and her staff was unresponsive to approaches from the company my wife works for. Other reps in the area at least answered calls and took meetings. Meanwhile, I see Slotkin is moving to Lansing and has announced she’s running in the new 7th. I hope she is successful, I like her a lot.
  4. They'll have to rip my '45 handbook from my cold dead hands
  5. Quick search indicates it goes back to 9th century England. The belief was a liar would lie in court. A copy of the bible or gospel might stop him from lying. Personally, I feel a 1945 Boy Scout Handbook would be a better option.
  6. A couple of things. In God We Trust didn't become the Official motto of the US until 1956 replacing E pluribus unum. It wasn't officially added to coins until 1955 when Pres Eisenhower signed legislation requiring the phrased be used on currency. It had been used sporadically since about 1864. Under God was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954 by presidential proclamation. While there may have some support during the founding period, the biggest push came in reaction to the cold war. Mostly by conservatives pushing back from New Deal policies.
  7. It helps if you read them in an Elmo type voice...
  8. I wonder if polarized sunglasses help, you know like a mask.
  9. Render unto Caesar. I equate that to separation of government and religion. I grant it’s a thin blurry line…..
  10. My comment was more to your interpretation of the Founders view on liberty in general, not just COVID. I happened to pick names at random not from the article. The NBC thing was an afterthought. Sorry to confuse your Libertarian views, they are much more liberal than was intended by many members of the Constitution Convention.
  11. As we say here in the Colonial Triangle Happy Christmas
  12. James Madison, John Jay, Roger Sherman and a few other gentleman may disagree with you https://www.nbcnews.com/think/amp/ncna1274477

  14. I can't speak for Comerica but about 13 years or so ago we did a "wedding rehearsal" party at the Frisco Roughriders park in Texas. We were given a few food options for catering in the suite. It was extra of course. The food was included in the final bill. I would assume it would be the same way in a suite at Comerica. The few times I had the opportunity to go to the game in a suite there was a small spread. Or maybe they had a menu that the hosts could order from. Food would be extra but it would be a poor host if a party, or business manager not to include food for the guests.
  15. You, You, You You....always about you isn't it. Tells me all I need to know
  16. (Mentally calculating time to drive from NC to NJ)😊
  17. So I'm supposed to bend over backward just so you can do what you want to do and expect no consequences. I dated a girl like that once.
  18. Happy made up pecan holiday to you too
  19. As long as your freedoms done interfere with our freedoms.
  20. Others have refuted your facts. Try harder
  21. Please post your medical credentials
  22. One out of 350 spam sites is a decent record for you Back to the bush leagues until you learn how to post better
