Many Canon users would not think to go outside the Canon fold to buy any equipment. Digital cameras automatically select the ISO but most have a setting to change it manually.

And in fact, you should be looking for a Hoodia product that doesn’t contain anything except for Hoodia Gordonii and Gelatin. The psyillium seed husk does not cause significant side effect on the patient.

Bad timing, McCarville on the whole “I’m not a racist” thing today.

Join Jerome Ersland and Mike on Sunday, Januart 30th as they hold hands and tell us that despite their racist actions, they arem’t racists.

Kyle, Thanks for the comment you are right on with your assessment. Loved your link to drug war facts too
Terrill’s bill charging $5.00 per transfer doesn’t hurt a drug lord with loads of money. It only hurts the little guy who is honestly trying to make a living for his family south of the boarder.But it raises a BUTT LOAD of money for the OBN to buy more toys to make more war on lots of otherwise law abiding citizens that smoke pot instead of drinking alcohol.

Wow….usually you guys write some pretty good stuff, but you are WAY off base on this one. Terrill’s bill last year put a $5 fee on every wire transaction for non-Oklahoma residents. A pretty clear violation of Interstate Commerce Laws…but I guess that’s not nearly as exciting as a giant corporate conspiracy to make Bingman the next Pro-Temp.

I, for one, am not surprised. I have read the bill in its entirety. OKPNS is spot on, cudos for your insight and you apparently have some well-informed sources.
I’d like to clean out the “Oklahoma Coffee pot” and don’t forget the leftover grounds…bye, bye Bingman!

Kyle, the text of the bill is here. Chris is pretty much on mark with his understanding of the impact.

This bill undercuts a similar bill, advanced by Randy Terrill, but which did not have the same detrimental effects described here.

Chris, I’d really like to see the draft of this Bingman bill. Despite you’re explanation, I think Bingman – and maybe Coffee for that matter – might be on to something very good good for our economy.

Capital flight restrictions that affect the poorest among us – those who use wire transfers – in the name of fighting a failed prohibition on drugs seems neither conservative nor compassionate.

Rather, HB 2245 SEEMS MISGUIDED AT BEST, specifically when you consider the down-line effects both the taxes and the prohibition have on our economy. For wire-transfer taxes, this includes potential reciprocal taxes on capital inflows, decreased capital for consumer purchases/investment. This leads to – in the near-term – lower living standards for the poorest amongst us higher, and in the long-term, higher labor costs.

And of course, anybody can see the down-line effects of prohibition.

Neither prohibition nor taxes are conservative, as both increase the size and power of government. If Bingman wants to tackle the taxes, more power to him.
