HA! What exactly do you mean by that?:lol:

You know, Griff.....I'm wondering if your safe to be teaching malleable young minds. :eek:

texas scares me, for many reasons. i grew up here, but it's become a nazi state. not to sound extreme, but all things considered (executions galore, bible-belt-baptist christ-extemeists, guns everywhere, etc.), i'm thinking about moving. i don't even want to try to change it from within. i'd rather live the rest of my life in a place where i can feel free to express myself and to go to bar if i want, and to drive down a highway without worrying about some road-rage a-hole shooting at someone, or heaven forbid have a gay or muslim or black friend bashed.

can you tell i'm burned out on the place?

Sure twentycentshift, that's how you feel tonight. But after a good nights sleep and a hearty breakfast just step outside...... it'll look worse. ;)

Most police departments have that as their "mission statement"... the bullshit of entrapping people buying dime bags and johns with "stings", busting people for being drunk in public on private property.... not exactly protecting and serving. It is nothing but stealing from the public, embezzlement actually, organized crime.
I think that most are great cops doing what they are told, a shame really... it is wrong that the officers get these bright ideas to bolster the pensions of the the brass.

I use to see this sort of brutality at festivals. We'd peform, go out and mix with the crowd, then see the gestapo filter in to strike up conversations with the participants.... if they wavered or responded "confusidly"... the poor peoples were arrested for being "drunk and disorderly"...
..like the cops were some sorta 19th century school masters.

AND the poor drunks didn't do any negative or disruptive thing, other than being planted on earth at the moment in a safe enviornment, and "STANDING" away from doing harm... they were just drunk.

The next Republican Law = the "BUI", ... Breathing (Alive, Minding Your Own Damn Bizness) Under the Influence.

The Breathalyzer works on the principle that one of the ways your body rids itself of alcohol is transferring it from the blood to the air in your lungs which you then exhale.

The next person then inhales that air or is surrounded by air containing flammable fumes.

It's about time to crack down on second hand alcohol. ;)

The first thing you learn about operating a Breathalyzer is don't stand directly in front of the person who is doing the blowing.

Sure, turn your head and cough becomes turn your head and blow. :blush:

thats not what the doc said after he put on his latex gloves and canola oil.

In many states if you tell them you "just had a drink" they will have to give you a half an hour before giving you a test.
