The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
Where you find the laws most numerous, there you will find also the greatest injustice.

Whether you're a liberal or a conservative, you'll probably be shocked by
the latest from Washington:
They've decided that they "own" certain words.
1) The United Seniors Association has been fined $500,000 for the use of the
words "Social Security" on an envelope, and this fine has been upheld by the
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals!
2) The White House is also taking action against "The Onion" satirical
newspaper for using the Presidential Seal in its parodies.
I'm a libertarian, and I find these two stories to resemble something from
Alice in Wonderland, or George Orwell, not the US that I learned about in
school.
The government's justification is that the use of certain "official words"
and "symbols" could confuse people about the official positions of the
government, or cause them to ignore communications from the government
agencies. Anyone who believes that the United Seniors Association or The
Onion are official government agencies is not going to be able to function
on their own. The irony of the government trying to protect itself from
satire in The Onion, by arguing that it is trying to protect the citizens is
more than even Orwell considered.
You've probably got lots of other places to learn about this, but I
expect that
www.downsizedc.org will have a bit to say.

Hi All,
Is there going to be a meeting in November (11/3) as discussed a little
while ago? If so, any location yet?
George
I am forwarding this on, as it is an issue I am very concerned about.
If you don't like signing petitions, you can go to the website just to
read more about the new House Bill, and then call or write your Rep.

</color>Important! Fair Elections Petition
</fontfamily></bold>
Hi Folks
I don't usually spam folks anymore about political things, but this one
seems simple and so effects our rights for have our vote counted as it
was
intended, the root of a democratic society. It's very easy to sign the
petition - the link goes straight to the site. If you see fit, please
pass
this one on.

This petition is for a national law giving us voter verified paper
ballots
by 2006. Many of our current voting machines are DRE's (Direct
Recording
Electronic systems) which do not produce a record of individual votes
at
all. Other systems have optical scan ballots, but only the vote total
produced by the ballot scanning software is ever counted. The GAO
continues
to warn that we are too reliant on voting software and that errors can
become certified election results.
HB550 would require that ballots be the vote of record upon which we
base
our election results. The petition's website is:
http://www.icountcoalition.org/ .
Please let your voice be heard in Washington by signing this petition,
and
forwarding the link. People of all political affiliations are
interested in
this bill. After all, nothing is more reflexive to the American
psyche than
counting everyone's vote.
Thank you for helping to make verifiable elections a reality!

That is phenomenal news! All our hearts have been going out to Cori, Tom and
their 12-week old puppy. What a great story of survival, and being watched
over & protected.
Thanks for the great start to the day!

Dear Pumitas y Pumitos,
Please remember to vote in the November 1 election. Because this is an odd
year and the ballot issues puzzling, please vote and pay careful attention
to these issues. The crux of Referenda C&D is funding for health, education
and transportation. Please mail in your ballots by the deadline, November 1.
Thanks for your consideration....

We are giving away a monitor screen for a 15" CRT type computer
monitor. It is by 3M and is supposed to reduce glare on, and radiation
from the monitor. We had it on our monitor until we got an LCD type.

That's great! Remember to take good care of whoever it is, so they'll come
back next year <g>.

John and Wally and other Pumites,
I located a snowplow company who will come over here.
Mark at Sno-busters 303 258-3777. He came by and gave me an estimate.
He will be doing 2 houses here on Pine Glade so far - from Coal Creek I
believe.

I have a large, dry, mostly cut up tree if someone would
like it for firewood and can come and get it.

Hello
My horse's water trough has developed yet another leak. I repair it as
well as I can but. . . . .
Does anyone have a water trough for sale? Please let me know via e-mail or
call at 303-443-1409.

Dear Neighbors,
If you are in the library district (you got a yellow postcard recently if
you are), you will have a chance to vote on Ballot Issue 5A. This issue
would enable Nederland Community Library to collect the full amount of
taxes that we voters overwhelmingly approved in 2002.
The community library has grown and increased its services to the
community and surrounding areas, but does need the full allotment of taxes
that approval of Ballot 5A would garner in order to cover its operating
expenses.
I have been involved in the library on a volunteer basis as well as a
patron. We are fortunate to now have a staffed library with great
resources for kids, young adults, adults and seniors - let's do what we
can to keep that going!
Please show your support of the library by voting yes for ballot issue 5A
and encouraging everyone else you know to do the same! Remember that this
election is mail-in only, so send your ballot in by October 27th to be
sure your vote will count.
If you have questions about the initiative I'd be happy to try and answer
them.
Thanks for your support,
Susie Gallaudet

I don't know of anyone doing plowing for hire. Here's why:
Most services like Sugarloaf don't last very long. The economics just aren't
there. You have an expensive, complex piece of equipment that you are only
using a small amount of time. It has to have a big engine, so it uses a lot
of fuel. When you're using it, it's typically during the worst conditions
(causing breakdowns, which are expensive to fix, and mean you can't charge
for plowing that you can't do). So, you're trying to get enough customers to
pay for that expensive truck and plow, and its maintenance. If you get
enough customers to make a go of it, along comes a big storm. In a big
storm, it takes longer to plow each customer, and what was just enough
customers is now too many! And most of those customers will be upset,
because they want to be plowed first.
This will be the twenty-second winter that I've plowed my 0.7 mile driveway
on Porter Ranch. I also plow HCFD Station #4 and my mother's drive. That's
more than I want to plow, already. I've worn out two plows and one truck
over the years (I'm on my second truck and third plow). In other words, I've
paid a bit of fools' tax, learning the ropes. If someone wants to get a plow
for themselves, I'd be more than happy to share what I've learned, and point
them in the right direction.
