Couldn't agree with you more.It is a shame the way the Gov. is treating the regular blue collar worker and catering to all these college graduate spoiled brats. They seem to have forgotten what this country was made from.There will be a day when the "Regular Guy" is really heard from. Keep going with your "Global America" It seems to be working well. Close some more factories,if there any left,Keep reading and learning how to bomb the moon and all the other wonderful things we are doing with our money.I wouldn't worry about the kids that are going to bed hungry and the families really struggling to heat there homes. It is going to come back and kick you in the ass.This is just the start of what has to happen to open somebody"s eyes.

If "they" would legalize pot, this guy wouldn't need 32 guns, and he would be taxed like the rest of us. Sounds like he's been in business long before the recession started.

The 32 guns were taken because he is under felony indictment. Unless they are all full automatic, they are legal as owning a slingshot. If he pleas to a misdemeanor, then the guns have to be returned. Many collectors own more than 32 guns, it's not a crime or illegal in any way.

He is a self employed mechanic. Do any of you note the amount of money a self employed mechanic makes these days? PLEAAAASE the going rate is anywhere from $45-$75 per hour. HELLLOOOO recession did not hit the auto mechanics, cars still break down and need regular service.

He broke the law. MJ will not be legalized. Not in my lifetime. So get over it. Obey the laws and you wont have this problem. Stop blaming the economy for ppl breaking the law. That is no excuse.

According to the latest Zogby poll 52% of Americans think Marijuana should be legalized. So far 14,000 people have died in the drug war in Mexico sense 2006 and California WILL Legalize weed in 2010 if not sooner. Times have changed and Legal weed is coming Very Soon. Plus, times are bad and prohibition of Pot cost a heck of a lot more than it's worth. Poor Devvy must not plan on living to long then if Legal Weed is the determining factor.

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Cancer

You feel the urge to move onward, powered by your wisdom: when you're right, you're right. You may feel that any further explanation is unnecessary, but the people you're dealing with might need it spelled out for them. Take the time to draw a picture or use smaller vocabulary words to get your point across, Cancer. A public demonstration will probably prove to be the last word on the subject.
