    Ohioans, Iowans - What do you think? - Non-Cattle

    The bill states that the INSURANCE that is provided by ANY employer must provide coverage for contraception. And since many of these Catholic institutions are SELF INSURED, they would indeed be providing contraception to their employees. I am not Catholic, I do know that the vast majority of...

    Ohioans, Iowans - What do you think? - Non-Cattle

    If you want to see why the country is in the state it's in, just look at some of the comments here. It is, after all, a free country where everyone has a right to voice their opinion, no matter how STUPID or uninformed it is.  And there are some STUPID and uninformed opinions presented here...

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    Yeah I know, I sincerely apologize to you. I was sick today and couldn't do anything, bored and just found that article in the paper so I thought that was what you wanted, some idea of what others in the area thought and then it had how much rain we have received as well. And I didn't mean to...

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    Lets assume for the sake of argument that your philosophies are true, I don't think some of them are, but lets assume.  What math are you using?  A $15/hr job, even at an 80% tax rate is $100/wk higher take home than you are figuring.  In Iowa, it may only take 800 acres to make $1,000,000 on...

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    In other news, this just in: The House Oversight Committee has just reported that over 50 requests for added security from diplomats in Libya had been turned down since in the last few months. Why? Because to beef up security would give the appearance that there was actually the threat of...

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    I am with you buddy, I don't like any of them. I noted in my first post that George Bush directly lost over 5000 jobs in our area due to the politics of getting re elected.

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    Robert, I am just going to have to agree to disagree that few of us pay too much in taxes. As long as the government continues to waste my money on Ethanol subsidies, loose it through loans to people like Solendra, line the pockets of GE with it, buy $507 hammers at the Pentagon, get our sons...

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    Always happy to correct those that are wrong...................that's a joke. However, you sound pretty wrong just from your own statements. Any product with an artificial market, one that is not subject to the laws of supply and demand, is subsidized. There is zero demand for Ethanol. ZERO no...

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    See you actually live in an area that could actually use some assistance. I am not for not helping people that need it. I am instead tired of the government wasting my tax dollars when I KNOW that SOON they will be asking for much more because of the 16 trillion dollar debt that has to be paid...

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    Posted by: flacowman Insert Quote I can tell you that I live in an area that has been declared drought 2 years in a row.  They have been 2 of the best grass years ever due to perfect timing of rain.  Peanut yields are expected to bust the records wide open, but corn was terrible this year for...

    THIS IS WHAT DROUGHT LOOKS LIKE ( not really cattle related)

    Recently I was informed that my county had been declared a drought area for 2012 and was eligible for all sorts of freebies and loans, etc. etc. And by law then all contiguous counties are eligible as well. I can't EVER remember having this much grass in October. WHY do we have so much grass you...

    Never made me smell like garlic, but it did someone else I know that used it. He also said he could taste garlic.

    THE FAIRNESS POLICE

    I enjoyed your essay. And I think we are pretty much on the same page. You said it's not all about winning, and it's not. But the attitude that it is not about doing everything you can possible to prepare to win, within the rules,  is an extremely dangerous one to carry into adult life. Do you...

    THE FAIRNESS POLICE

    Gators rule, you're right, you could be wrong. But look at your screen name and your avatar. What else would you expect?  ;) (lol) Seriously, Would you also believe that 12 year olds competed in baseball with 18 year olds? What do you think a 12 year old would do with a 6'6" 245 lb 18 year old...

    THE FAIRNESS POLICE

    I think that no matter what you do, baseball, cattle, motocross, piano, beauty pageants, you will always have a few parents that live vicariously through their children. I think in this debate it's totally a non issue. What the debate was about is what is fair to the child. The reason you have...

    THE FAIRNESS POLICE

    Not to brag,  ;D,  but I had a calf we sold via Steer Planet do really well at a fairly large show in AR this week.  In talking to the family that bought the calf, I learned some things I found to be very strange to me concerning rules and regulations set up by those in charge of the show, I...

    Boots

    I think all the toe shapes have  been around for a while, it's difficult to make up very many shapes for the end of a pair of boots, it's just which one the company's promote to sell new ones at Christmas. And I too agree they are comfortable although that roper is about the same for me.
