Bloomberg and his buddies will get all the painkillers they want, they can be TRUSTED with them you know.<br /><br />I've made the following comment in so many places I fear I'm on a list somewhere, but here goes. Bear in mind that Donald Trump and Robert DeNiro possess NYC CCW's. There are a handful of unrestricted CCWs in NYC that don't belong to the police or retired cops, and they ALL belong to the politically connected. So Mr "You Talkin' Ta Me?" can carry a pistol, legally, in NYC while everyone else has to rely on rape whistles and cell phone calls to NYPD.<br /> <br />I work in NYC, and deal with NYers every day.

If a helicopter's engine cuts, you can still land it safely using the stored energy in the rotating blades. If you lose an engine on a tilt rotor while hovering, you're fucked, generally speaking. Tilt rotors are more dangerous than helicopters, which is saying something because helicopters aren't the safest way in the world to fly. Generally speaking, I prefer my wings fixed. I wouldn't bet my life too many times on anything that has a part called a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_nut" rel="nofollow">Jesus nut.</a><br /><br />So I have to agree.

Not the way I have. Not for years on end. Not to the point to where every morning you're debating whether the pill bottle or a 357 magnum would be better at dulling the pain. If Bloomberg had his way I'd have died seven years ago because the additional hassle of working around his bullshit to get my meds would probably have tipped the balance and the 357 would have won out. <br /><br />If you haven't been in chronic debilitating pain you have no place in this debate.

NYC dwellers could care less if Bloomberg shovels the snow from the streets, or picks up the trash -- as long as he "cares", nothing else matters. NYC is a microcosm of what America will look like when the Obama Revolution reaches its endpoint. <br /><br />Unfortunately, New Yorkers refuse to stay put in their hellhole of a town. Many move, to otherwise sane jurisdictions (VA, FL, TX, etc.) and demand things be done as they were in NYC. Alternatively, the NYC viewpoint is pushed to all corners of the country via the NYC-based mass media. Their concerns become our concerns; their fears, our fears; their solutions, our solutions. <br /><br />Yet, in all this, do not forget: the urban masses crave the feeling of security above all else. Bloomberg obliges. Liberty is a racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic construct that must be regulated, controlled, and ultimately eliminated.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
