"Liberty not only means that the individual has both the opportunity and the burden of choice; it also means that he must bear the consequences of his actions and will receive blame or praise for them. Liberty and responsibility are inseparable." - Friedrich Hayek Poster
Interstate 95's new express lanes to get orange poles
Actually, they'll probably build a wall to ~protect~ the poles from damage (Tuesday Jul 22 | post #7)
Central Florida police dog dies when A/C fails in patrol car
Isn't it illegal to leave an unattended car running? Is there some kind of canine exception? I think, to only be fair to the officer, she should be left in the same car for an hour, just like her dog. (Tuesday Jul 22 | post #27)
Gas TV gains popularity as way to ease pain at the pump
If these things weren't 85% advertising they'd be an interesting diversion from the price. I would rather just hear music if they continue this trend. (Tuesday Jul 22 | post #5)
Miramar: Two police officers collide on personal motorcycles
I had always thought that you had to be staggered, one slightly in front of the other. Even legal, it's not a good idea. My motor endorsement was grandfathered, I didn't have to take a test. Thanks for the info (Sunday Jul 20 | post #20)
Miramar: Two police officers collide on personal motorcycles
I'll have to go back and check, but isn't it illegal to ride side-by-side in the ~same~ lane? Will a citation be issued? (Friday Jul 18 | post #17)
Details released in shooting of Broward K-9, suspect
I love dogs and it is a shame this one died. But let's keep it in perspective; a service dog's purpose is to do those jobs that are too dangerous or not possible for a human. They are, in essence, sacrificed for the life of a human. Contrary to what PETA and ALF thinks, a human life does have more value than that of an animal, this one died and no human did, job done.

Florida No. 2 in nation for exporting guns used in crime
Hey...... I was born (and bred) here in South Florida and, while, on one hand I agree that I'm surrounded by idiots, I've never had a problem understanding a ballot or pushing out my paper chad, ahhh, those were the days, a paper trail....... I think there should be a minimal aptitude test before anyone can vote. If a voter doesn't understand what a representative republic is then they shouldn't be allowed to participate!!! But alas, somehow that would be considered discriminatory, to which I agree, we would be discriminating against the ignorant and uninformed (of all colors and races - including my own (Tuesday Jul 8 | post #982)

Mother Charged With Child Abuse After Photos Were Emailed
I wonder if her relationship was more of a sister than a mother. The lines are often blurred when one has a child at such a young age; it might account for such an immature response (on her part). (Tuesday Jul 8 | post #1)
Team called to Pines after report of bite by pygmy rattler
I cannot believe that the Sentinel ~actually~ had the most thorough report about this incident. Good job. (Sunday Jul 6 | post #5)

Deputy injured in Lauderdale Lakes crash
"Right of way" is not an absolute right, it does not remove the responsibility of the operator to proceed with due caution. In other words, there is no right, no privilege, that is exclusively the drivers. If you have a reference to a Florida Statute (State Uniform Traffic Control found in chapter 316) that assigns a driver the right-of-way, please let me know, I can't find anything. However you wish to characterize it; even with a green arrow, drivers "may cautiously enter the intersection only to make the movement indicated by such arrow (Monday Jun 30 | post #38)
