  1. I don't have the roller handle but I do have the Strong Mount and wouldn't be without it. FM
  2. My CMORE won't stay zeroed regaurdless of the temperature. Every night before a match this year I would bench shoot about a hundred rounds to rezero. (No, nothing is loose.) FM
  3. Jim, I have to disagree about the last part being out of bounds. With the scenario presented by the book the atf agent was breaking the law to get back at a person that as far as the story was concerned, did not break the law, but had embarrassed the agent. So if it is ok for the fictional character to break the law and use his authority to get his way thru whatever means it took, then it is ok for a fictional character who is the victim to do what is necessary to defend and embarrass a govt. agency. All the book was doing was showing how as govt. gets larger it has groups that abuse the authority and that is the unintended consequence. I will agree that most people in the govt. are decent folks, but I also have met some that dont have the maturity for the job and are cought up in the power of the position they have. I was told as a child and I still believe it when my Grandmother told me that power is an illusion that many people think they have. Sometimes even in fiction there are good guys that take direction from bad people and then they pay a price. If this was a movie it would do well, but there will never be anyone that will make it as hollywood would support it with the finanaces to produce it. You have valid points my friend! I respect your opinion...but I think this particular book has gained way too much traction as a tool against our freedoms. In retrospect many stories that are far worse in content have come to the silver screen. As far as movies and hollywood go...I love the movie Pearl Harbor...but I puke when I see Alek Baldwin play the part of Doolittle. This book would make a good movie but I fear the hollywood types would pervert its true meaning into something real ugly. Case in point...the Tom Clancy novel...Sum of all fears. Jim Hollyweird is making ATLAS SHRUGGED; so we will see how they would have butchered UC. Read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand before you read UC. They are essentially the same. I did it backwards and wish I didn't. FM

    I want one of those Winchester Shower Curtains! Are they available at Ohlin? FM
  5. Fixed Time should relieve the Boredom!!! FM
  6. The book was originally published in a different "time", a different "place". That's all I can say. FM
  7. If you have read Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" you have almost read "Unintended Consequences". I have read both and they are books to keep forever. (I don't agree with ALL of Ayn Rand's philosophy.) When John Ross's book may actually be my favorite of the two because of the subject matter, no science fiction and the use of historical facts. I would like to see this thread stay open. FM
  8. I didn't think of that, but it could also be fudged on the receiving side to get the desired results. Such as voiding a contract? I have a portable scanner that I use in my travels and use it almost everyday. If I lost it or broke it I would replace as soon as humanly possible. It saves a lot of work for our home office too. FM
  9. Nice info Carlos. I too want this thread to stay open! FM
  10. Don't worry; I won't do vista but I would like a black 15". I am anal about black. I need one for business. maybe I'm just anal! :lol: FM
  11. TO does deserve to enjoy some of the fruits of his labor CZ. I am not a foot ball fan but Corn Husker foot ball is insanely important to our economy. Which is insane to me in the first place. The entire state identifies with it, and takes it personally. Go Tigers! FM
  12. It would be a most excellent Christmas gift! It only costs a couple of days worth of gas these days! FM
  13. I have yet to pay to watch advertising. When NASCAR goes to FX, TNT or what ever it is I am SOL by choice. FM
  14. It was time for a change! But expect to see some nice cleavage return! THX! FM
  15. I wish I could afford a new MAC notebook. The stuff my (used to be) ISP's Mac did was really impressive. FM
  16. This thread is no good without links to video! FM
  17. It's Bo Polini. Go Tigers! :bow: FM
  18. They call it just like they see it. One of my best friends is of Scottish decent and everything you have heard is true! The meanest and the financially tightest people on earth. Like the Chinese, they think generations down the road. FM
  19. AD and now Interim Head Coach. Again. He's on the road recruiting right now. At age 70. There will never be enough role models like TO for kids (of all ages)! But...Go Tigers! FM
  20. Mine came all roached out but it's usable. FM
  21. Benosverse deserves a link to THAT story! FM
