No luck Itchy. They are still babbling on about how we are stealing from the government.

And to think when I started the topic I just wanted something common to chat about before the storm took my power…[/quote]

Have not been around the corner to Richmond/610 area lately, but I know it is hit and miss for power.

HEB on Westheimer at Fountainview is open and fully operational

Rice Epicurian on Fountainview is the same

WholeFoods on Woodway is open

Kroger on Voss at San Felipe too.

24hr Fitness on San Felipe up and running.

Received power last Wednesday myself.

No such luck…yet.
I was told that I would have power on Thursday by a pole tech working by the house. I’m not paying much attention what the internet and TV people are saying about the power restoration.

Anyhow, I took the family, my computer and food and went to stay with my sister-in-law. I Got real tired of buying ice and switching it from one ice chest to the other…

I can’t wait, I’m gonna do the same thing when mine is restored…[/quote]

Ouch. Well, good luck to you. At least when you have grandchildren, you can brag about how much tougher your generation is than theirs and tell them about the time you went two weeks with no power and it was no big deal. “Soft little whipper-snappers, blah blah blah…”

An educator! Jesus. And he wants to talk about tax robbery.

Oh, just wait and see what happens if Martin Luther King comes up in conversation.[/quote]

Yeah, mentioning that St. Martin plagarized his doctoral thesis (scholars and his family say this) and that he whored around (family and friends of his admit this) makes me a racist. I think your dental drill went into that mush you call a brain.

Wow…steal from…‘the government’. Just …wow! Did you really say that? And I thought these guys already here were stupid.

The east Texas water supply been infected by aliens, making you all retards or something? How many standard deviations are you folks below the IQ mean down there?

Wait, bad question. You guys need to take off your shoes to count to 20.

Wow!

206

Fine HH, it’s immoral to raise taxes and use them on a national level. I don’t agree but you can have that.
It is practical for the running of a successful country to do it.

You Ayn Randist remind me of communists in that you have these radical ideas that just never work. Maybe an Ayn Rand philosophy based community is the ideal form of a state. Maybe a communist one is. It doesn’t matter as neither work.

Altruism had its chance since Comte invented the term, and long before. Fuck it. Let’s try rational selfish egoism.

Here’s a question: Why did you post in this thread?? Better yet…why do you post at all?? You’ve become the “crack whore” of T-Nation…desperately needing an attention fix.

Grow up…old man(that was odd). If you TRULY don’t like whatever it is that possessed you to kick people when they’re down in this thread,make a post in PWI about it…I’m sure you’ll have full support of what you posted here(sarcasm).

Stop acting like a desperate whore. Seriously. I’m start calling you Larry Craig…tapping your foot…waving your hand…“look at me…I NEED YOU.” That’s right…you need us…we don’t need you.

Here is a break down I found of deaths so far from Ike, have not heard how many are still missing or unaccounted for. If you haven’t heard from your friends or family there is still hope. Take care

Authorities have reported a total of 61 deaths in the U.S. as Ike moved from Texas northeastward across the U.S.:

Texas �?? 26, including three people found in their Houston home where they had been running a gas generator.

Louisiana �?? six, including two contractors who were electrocuted.

Tennessee �?? two, both golfers killed by a falling tree.

Arkansas �?? one, a man killed by a tree falling on a mobile home.

Ohio �?? six, including five by falling trees and one person electrocuted while working on a generator.

Indiana �?? seven, including a father and son killed helping children escape from a ditch.

Illinois �?? two, including an elderly man found in a flooded backyard.

Missouri �?? four, including a woman struck by a tree limb and an elderly man suspected of drowning in a flooded yard.

Kentucky �?? three, a 10-year-old boy struck by a tree limb, a woman exposed to carbon monoxide fumes from a generator and a utility worker electrocuted while restoring power in Louisville.

Pennsylvania �?? two, a 46-year-old man struck by tree limb while helping remove a large tree from a house, and a 43-year-old utility worker who was electrocuted when he stepped on a live wire while working to repair power lines.

Michigan �?? two, a 1-year-old boy apparently drowned in a stormwater-filled ditch near Auburn, Mich., and a 15-year-old killed when his all-terrain vehicle crashed into a hidden ravine created by storm water.

I’ve heard about too many people being killed by fumes from generators that are operated in enclosed areas. Christ.

I think we need to evacuate Ohio and Indiana immediately.

Otherwise, these selfish criminals will be stealing from us.

Like refusing Texas it’s taxes when it needs them?

If you want to disregard weighted averages with AynRand you are mis-representing the factual way our tax system works but fine.

Go with an apple to apple comparison.

Employees in Texas pay their taxes. Now they will be used for repairs on Texas’ roads and public infrastructure in general. Apples to Apples we are not sucking any money from any other state.

But Federal money comes from everybody you say? Back to the original argument, your (AynRands) measuring system is flawed. Admittedly made up even.

Weighted averages are required here and Texas pays more period, all the time. For your roads and infrastrucure too.

Nothing altruistic or philosophical here. Just concrete fact.

Are you saying that, since damage is relatively way less in Ohio and Indiana, that the people in those states should pay way proportionally less for repairs and rebuilding from the hurricane?

Thank you for finally admitting you are wrong. See, it wasn’t that bad, to admit you’re an ignorant putz. You did fine.

Really? Don’t try to shimmy out of your own selfishness now…lol. What I posted is what I said…stop twisting the truth to suit your selfish agenda. Admit that you have no stance…or are you truly as shallow as you perceive to be. Am I still doing fine? :slight_smile:
