We need to follow Florida's lead, become a shall carry state and pass a law that prohibits localities from regulating firearms. I need to carry my .357 to work, my kids school, to church, to Target and to the bar when I get my drink on. And I need to stay proficient by shooting targets in my backyard.

It's about the money, the weight of a spare isn't more than 1% of the curb weigh, not really significant. I wouldn't have a car without a full size spare. If you have anything more than a small hole, like you might get from a nail, sealant isn't going to be very useful. And driving on a donut spare for any duration isn't much fun. And maybe I am just unlikely but when I have a tire issue it seems to happen at inconvenient times and places. Now, if you can't or won't change a tire then I guess it doesn't really matter if you have a spare in your trunk.

Everyone who has a car should have their own air pump, they're cheap and can be a real life saver.
Here's one that is inexpensive and has it's own guage - http://www.harborfreight.com/12-volt- ... 84-8788.html#.UxfAGvldUUU Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. That's hard to do if you're driving to get free air unless you're going to Costco for their free Nitrogen. Most people forget to check their spare tires until they need them. If you don't have your own pump don't forget.

Re: Bayonne: Man astounded by bill for 4 stitches at ‘most expensive hospital in America’

$14K for stitches is outrageous. But, I think there might be more to the story.
My guess is that the kid had to be sedated because of the location of the cut and his age. Most 3 year olds I know would not sit still for 1 stitch to the chin let alone 4. Pinning down a freaked out kid isn't a good option. If there was an anesthesiologist involved the cost would be much higher. Also they would be in the ER much longer than if it was just 4 stitches. About 5 years a friend got stitches in the ER, the total was ~$1400. I think that's stitoo higll h. Moral of the story is if you need a cut stitched up and the bleeding has stopped call your doctor or find an urgent care center in your network. Save the ER for life threatening situations.

I like the spirit but seems like you haven't thought this one through. This isn't a "who do I have to call to get this done." It's a "dedicate a good portion of my life TRYING to get this done."
Have you thought about who is going to be against this and how are you going to win over those people. That would be the most critical part of the project. Building a bridge is simple, we've done it for centuries. The political realities of doing something like this is the hard part.

This is an indefensible tactic by House Republicans to try to get their way plain and simple. The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. It passed muster with the Supreme Court who found the law constitutional. If Republicans don't like it they should repeal the law. But they can't get the votes so they stamp their feet and say they don't like the law and that the only way we'll get the government back is by making it go away. That looks like a very unlikely outcome.
Wait until the Dems use this tactic when they're in the minority in the House and can't get their way. The Republicans will be screaming bloody murder.

Heights, my take on things is that terrorism has been steadily declining in the US since 9/11. To say we need to be more suspect and vigilant now is an overreaction based on anecdotal evidence. We should probably worry more about gun deaths or lightning strikes (in 2011, 26 people in the US were killed by lightning.)
If you don't believe me here's an article - http://www.thenation.com/blog/173876/ ... ston-terror-all-time-low# However, I do agree with you in wishing everyone would act like it was the day after 9/11, I felt like I was in a caring community instead of a suspicious one. Quote:

They say it's not the right time to talk about gun control. I say this is the exact right time. At least 75,000 people agree with me - https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petit ... slation-congress/2tgcXzQC
They told us it wasn't the right time after Columbine, Virginia Tech, Tuscon and all the other killings. 12 people were shot in an Aurora, Co movie theater less than 5 months ago. 5 MONTHS. Now 26 more innocents are dead. Children and their teachers. I never imagined it was possbile someone in America would execute 26 innocent children and their teachers in their classroom. As we mourn we should be asking what's next and what are we going to do to stop it. This will happen again and again and again and again unless you do something. I don't know how many days or weeks it will be until the next mass shooting but we'll be thinking the same things we are today and saying how awful it is. DO SOMETHING. If you don't know where to start, go to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence http://www.bradycampaign.org/ Quote:
