Let me see... my choices were big government statist or big government statist. Neither of them were fit for the office. Sorry, unlike some people, I have my principles.
While I agree with the fact that the patients share some responsibility for their healthcare and that many of us do not do due diligence, the healthcare providers do not make it easy for us to make informed choices. This is probably due to the large bureaucracies running these hospital networks...
Oh yeah, let's get another law passed. Let's make big government bigger and more intrusive. While we're at it, let's ban fences and locks because that restricts my right to freedom of movement.
I don't see how your links disprove what I said.
Basically, it is a situation where people are being told "your money or your life" which falls under the category of threat and intimidation. Sounds like coercion to me.
Is what the so-called gougers doing really gouging? To me, for something to be gouging, there needs to be coercion. I've yet to see coercion. This is not like trying to sell a bottle of water for $10 after a natural disaster where people's lives are on the line. Sure, I'm frustrated by the...
Only thing I know for certain is that the big box retailers are selling at well under the current fair market value. I am sure they have their reasons for doing so. Frankly, it their business and they can run it how they choose.
To use the car analogy, if the eight dealers are selling at...
There is the possibility that there is a pricing agreement that keeps Gander or Wally World from raising its prices. Not saying that is what is going but it is a possibility.
Personally, I think things would settle down faster if the big box retailers would charge what is now fair market...
This is really starting to go off on a tangent to the point I was trying to make. My point is that there are expectations and responsibilities on us (irregardless of whether or not the state mandates it) that can create a chilling effect on liberty.
Now back to guns. Is there or isn't...
I might not have been clear on my original post. The accountability is the consequences of not properly securing the pool if a young child drowns in it. At least that was what I was intending to write.
I am using a situation based on the doctrine of attractive nuisance. The home owner...
There is the possibility that there are pricing agreements that limits Wally World from upping their prices. Although, the likelihood of that being the case....
The home owner can be held accountable under the doctrine of attractive nuisance. He is expected to reasonably secure such things from young children who might not know better. I'll agree that the parents should be held accountable here as well.
I only used a very well known example of...
Personal responsibility and accountability are also conservative concepts. Up to a certain point, accountability and liberty are at odds with each other.
As an example of what I mean, consider a private swimming pool at a person's house. It is no question that a home owner can have a pool...
For a hard drive, I would go with one of those solid state drives. They would be more resistant to shock as there are no mechanical parts to scratch the platters.
This is what I am thinking. I would get a good quality thumb drive (maybe 2-3 for redundancy). Find some anti-static packing foam (1/4" thick if possible) and make a pouch for the drive and keep the pouch in a anti-static plastic bag that can be sealed against moisture. For EMP, I imagine...
