  The DOT has been around since the mid-‘60s, but yes FMCSA was enacted on 1/1/2000, in response to The Motor Carrier Act 1980. This is what the aforementioned act did for trucking. This is Jimmy Carter talking upon signing of the Act 1/7 1980: “This is historic legislation. It will remove 45 years of excessive and inflationary Government restrictions and red tape. It will have a powerful anti-inflationary effect, reducing consumer costs by as much as $8 billion each year. And by ending wasteful practices, it will conserve annually hundreds of millions of gallons of precious fuel. All the citizens of our Nation will benefit from this legislation. Consumers will benefit, because almost every product we purchase has been shipped by truck, and outmoded regulations have inflated the prices that each one of us must pay. The shippers who use trucking will benefit as new services and price options appear. Labor will benefit from increased job opportunities. And the trucking industry its...

  I sit up in the morning before day breaks and watch it come alive. I sit and listen to music, and watch it begin, the way it does every other day. I think about what lay ahead, not what lies behind. I enjoy the peace and calm before the tempest that will be the day, a day that will be both too long and too short and wait with gilded anticipation for the dawning of the next one.

I was born with a bad temper, and life gave me a harsh heart. The technology problems of today, are the marketplace solutions of tomorrow  You sacrifice the innocent and the damned at the altar of the lady of Justice, and morality, because of a ritualistic belief.  Details matter, if not then there is no structure, without structure there is no gain. Our system of government is based on the rule of law. Through which the will of the people is administered. Can't have one without the other. To have one without the other is anarchy and anarchy is tyranny.    A FB friend of mine said that some are complaining that too much attention is being given to the Super Bowl and not enough to more important subjects. Well, it is about perspective. People need a break from the absurdities, and realities of what is important now and then. Sporting events. TV, movies, and the need to be social. The Super Bowl does that. For three hours at least once per year, people get together ...

The problem with cancel culture is that it looks at right and wrong through today's mirror of fake tolerance, and dubious moral indignation, instead of through the looking glass of greatness and, dignity.

  Ok, Texas secedes. Let us look closely at the unintended consequences. First, all people Carrying a Texas driver's license, or a Texas passport would become foreign nationals. They are no longer citizens of the United States. To go from Texas to another state they would need a passport. All from Texas who enter illegally are illegal aliens. Texians would need a visa to go out of Texas. Everything exported from or imported to Texas would be subject to a tariff, just like from China. Any electricity to Texas would be subject to a tariff. Texas would have to raise its own Army, and Navy, as the U.S. Army and Navy would have to leave Texas, same with the Air Force. Then The FBI, ATF, and every other alphabet-soup government agency will move out. No more government protection either economically, politically, or physically. And finally, Let us get to oil. There's lots of it in Texas. In order to get enough oil to refine and export overseas, Texas would need to import our oil, wit...

  Not necessarily. Rings are a team achievement, and stats are an individual one. They are both universally tied together. Some good players never play on good teams, and some bad players play on good teams. Ar Doug WIlliams, Brad Johnson, or Jeff Hostetler is better than Marino, or Fouts. me thinks not. The former all have rings, but the latter does not. Are any of the three in the HOF, or will they ever be. Again Me thinks not. All were at the height of their professions. Just in different places. Stats and rings will get you immortality, Stats alone will get you immortality, rings alone, will not get you immortality. It is all about the M's, money, and mortality. Thay are all chasin one or the other or both.

 Hitler's Germany wasn't socialism, it was fascism. The Socialist in the party title was a lie. At no time did Hitler take over for the good of all. He took over for the good of all Aryan's. Hitler was a fascist, there is a difference. The way's they are similar is both want to impose politically-chosen ends on everybody. The difference is that each system favors and harms different groups of individuals in society. Hitler killed 6 million Jews because of religon, Stalin killed 20 million because they disagreed with his politics. That is one of the differences.
