I'm happy that that worked for you, but some big trees have to be cut before they can be moved. Central Florida is full of old Water Oaks. They have shallow root systems, and the whole damn tree falls, but some roots are still connected. If you push that, the roots come with it and break up sidewalks, foundations and even paved roads. Some not only block the road, but the right of way on both sides of the road.

So, material stock that is constantly rotated would all be defective? OK.

I think it would at least be sub-standard. It would be sold to the government as top quality, then pilfered for use to which it is suited.

People selling stuff to the government rarely go broke doing it.

Free AK47s & ammo for gang bangers? Armed dopeheads? people with a violent history too? No thanks. There is a segment of any population that can't safely handle any weapon.

And only THEIR guns.

Or they wanted sex with the indigenous people.

Huh? I'd be surprised. Very surprised. There are any number of jobs where one "can serve his country."

  • Teacher
  • Nurse
  • Legal representative for the downtrodden
  • Public health worker
  • Abused child mentor etc.

There is no longer such a thing as a "conscientious objector."

Today medics and Marine corpsmen are volunteers. Unlike in WWII, today's medics also carry arms, must qualify in their use, and kill the enemy if they get the chance.

Thus the men with chainsaws.

We have >4' dia oaks rooted in thin sandy soil over ledge too. I have a couple myself.

Sigh. SO few working brain cells. I stated that the inventory will be maintained by companies that supply utilites. All it would do is make sure that a minimum inventory of critical items be maintained. They would continue to sell to the utilites, but not be allowed to run out of emergency repair stock. Since it has to be used on a FIFO basis, how will they know it's safe to stick crap in the supply lines?

This area isn't sandy, and some of the trees are wider than a traffic lane in the road, so it takes some big saws to cut them. The idiots in the 'St. Johns Water Management District' declared the road to my subdivision and made it illegal to trim or remove the old Spanish Moss covered trees. It took two years to get that reversed, but by that time over half had fallen, and every few weeks a huge branch would fall somewhere along the two miles and block the road for half a day. At one time you needed headlights at noon to drive that road. Now, 80% of the trees are gone, due to age & disease. Spanish Moss is light, but adds a lot of weight during a heavy rain. Enough to pass the tipping point. :(

I guess some folks have never heard of combat engineers,like the SEABEEs. I recall the Indiana blizzard of 78 where the National Guard used their M-

60 tanks to pull semi-trucks out of ditches on I-65,after they had jacknifed on ice and unplowed snow. The tanks were the only vehicles available that had the traction on the ice,the normal wreckers with tires couldn't do it. IIRC,an M-60 weighs over 50 tons.

And most of them already have weapons. Of course they didn't obey the laws when buying them, and the fact that they are using or pushing drugs that are also illegal shows their disregard for the law.

Look: forget it. It won't work. Every "foolproof" plan like that has failed. The people who would corrupt such a system are always smarter than you - always.

The difference is that I can choose not to shop at Walmart. I can't choose not to pay US and state taxes.

But then who gets the corporate boot off the citizens' necks, and the socio/psychopaths and criminals out of the executive suites (and the citizens' pockets)?

It will be perfectly safe, since it's illegal to shoot other people.

Relaxing gun control laws won't arm criminals. Just balance the power, so the good guys can be armed. But, the overlords don't want armed peasants.

The big problem is who pays for the warehouse, the stock, the people who run the place, the utilities, the computers needed to keep track of stock, etc. How many would you need to keep everyone within a certain radius of a warehouse, etc. etc. You don't just plop a bunch stuff on the ground after it mysteriously appears.

I see no irony, at all.

So then why do you keep changing the subject lines??

It's ironic that you recommend that we can 'group messages by sent date', but you complain about how you don't like to have to scroll down to see the most recent text in a thread post. Do you recognize the irony here?
