To readers unfamiliar with this case, David Olofson, an Army Vet and gun owner, leant a 20 year old AR to (supposedly) a prospective buyer. The buyer took it to the range, and after firing approximately 800 rounds through it, the gun malfunctioned, fired two rounds, and jammed. Law enforcement took note, and called the gun a machine gun (because it fired more than one round per trigger pull), and charged Olofson with illegal transfer of a machine gun.
There is little dispute about the above. The government is knowingly making a felon out of this veteran because his gun malfunctioned.
Take note. If your gun slamfires, you're a felon.
I really don't know why I'm posting this. I'm not looking for comfort, I am quite calm with death in fact. But, of course I am sad and frustrated. I guess, if anything, I just wanted to ask that you please take a moment of silence in your busy lives for my friend. She was doing what she always wanted though. Teaching young children English.
Thanks, and as always, peace.
Much anecdotal evidence has been held up as proof that payday loans are booming. Several American newspapers have run reports that local cash advance lenders are experiencing a major upswing in business, as consumers flock to take out short-term, high-interest personal loans. Supposedly, these paycheck-to-paycheck households need a way to fill the void created by burgeoning demands on the family gas and food budgets, and see fast cash loans as the answer. Corresponding increases in car title and pawn loans have also been reported.
On the other hand, some cash advance lending industry execs scoff at these optimistic reports, countering that the poor state of the economy has left borrowers less able to repay personal loan obligations than ever before. National payday loan trade organization the Community Financial Services Association of America recently quelled the notion that its member businesses were seeing an increase in business. Even if there was a small jump in the number of fast cash loans being written, the CFSA reasoned, the increased number of defaults was balancing it out.

to all seniors
this is the facts
the oil companys are screwing us
fact 1=in 2007,2008 the oil co's made 1300.00+++ a second
fact 2= this means that in 30 seconds they make more money than most seniors on social security make in 1 year
fact 3= it cost the oil co's less than 8.00 a barrel to take it to market and with oil at 126.00+++ a barrel they are making over a 118.00+++ profit.
fact 4= it costs 26 cents a gallon to refine a gal.of gas
fact 5= it costs 25 cents to deliver this gas to the service stations across this nation and in this cost is the profits of the gas stations
fact 6=
40 cents of the price of a gallon of gas goes to state and federal taxes
fact 7= the oil co's make 70% profit on a gallon of gas
fact 8= the last increase on social security was 2.1% the average monthly increase = approx 18.00 a month
fact 9= during the katrina aftermath oil hit 50.00 a barrel and gas rose to 3.00+++ a gallon
fact 10= since katrina oil has gone up 76.00+++ a barrel and the price of reg.gas today is 3.69 a gallon
now whats wrong with this picture
fact 11= food prices have gone up to record prices and there is shortages around the world and the value of the dollar has shrunk to levels that have not been seen before
fact 12= if we dont vote for change in this election in november then we have only ourselves to blame because if you think its bad now wait till 2009 with the same old crap going on in washington dc
the future of our kids,grandkids,great grand kids are in dire straits if we the 20 million seniors keep the same old politics going in the next 4 to 8 years our kids will pay the price of the same bush,chenny rove,libby,and all the rest of those gop members of congress that have raised the national debt more than all the presidents since the 1940s.in 8 years the debt has gone from 4 trillon in 2001 to 9 trillion in 2008 and counting
sen.obama wants to give us seniors a 18.000.00 raise on the ammount that we can earn ie"32k now to 50k without paying taxes
he also wants to raise the cap on fica so that social security stays solvent.when us seniors were in the work force we paid fica and never complained about putting more of our earnings into social security to help keep it going for our parents and grand parents,now the young people have the same chance to keep this tradition going.it will help all now and help the baby boomers who will have social security when they retire
this is a simple thing to do.forget about the racial divide that still exists in this country and vote in november for the future
thanks and god bless all
