Moving to Wyoming! Enough yackin' about it, we're DOING it.

MWD said,
but it felt very freeing, because ordering ammo to your home is not possible in California.

Not true! Just certain counties, certain cities, and perhaps certain kinds.
Most ammo web sites tell you where it's restricted, like Sacramento, and perhaps LA County.

And then again there's the restrictions on mags, knives, night vision scopes, and a whole lot of scary things they don't want you to have. Welcome to Wyoming Michael!

You need permission from the government to fart in Los Angeles county. I know, I got the permission.

You have to go to
http://www.us.ca.gov/forms/nanny/2009/Permission_to_fart.pdf

download the form, fill it out, then go to
455 Golden Gate Ave.
Room 222
Los Angeles, CA 90029

And take the test. It only takes about an hour if you go on Tue-Thur, and the test is simple if you study the website.

It's only 36 dollars, and the permission is good for two years. Then you can renew again without taking the test, you only have to send in the fee. How cool is that!

O.K. Michael!
The link don't work!!!!!

I made it up.
 

It just sounds like something that COULD be true, doesn't it?

California's just that dumb that you could need a license to fart.

Here's a great headline in Today's LA Times, the wording of the headline sums up what's wrong with California (and many places in America):

Budget's a mess, but it's our mess:

Half jokingly, I did try the link!

After all, I lived out there for the first 21 years of my life - watched it go to shit - don't want to go back (except maybe to see my little brother once more before I die, since he won't get off his butt and come out here).

Figured, maybe - just maybe - they would have started regulating the output of methane and carbon dioxide. Surely, you could obtain a permit to produce excess amounts of said DEADLY GREENHOUSE GASSES - or, on the other hand - get a tax-break of you used 'bean-o' and didn't produce as much as the average sheeple.

I mean, My God!, we're talking about Gov. Arny with his great big knife, autographed state vehicles for auction, and 27,000 criminals to be released in retaliation for not approving the budget. Who knows what they are capable of!

Michael, maybe we should collaberate on this and come up with a 'permit' that, for a 'small and nominal fee', you (generic) could be granted a dispensation to pass as much gas as the average politician in Kaliphornia - and for a measly, little 10% more, you could pass as much volitile gas as the governor himself - and only an additional 50% to pass as much as Pelosi.

Now that may be an up & coming market...

You've heard of carbon credits,
now get the latest way to save Mother Planet!!

P.S.  Wouldn't you know it...that was my 666th post

By golly...there is a market 

Quick Google....Results 1 - 10 of about 356,000 for "flatulence offset." (0.76 seconds)

An article from National Geographic in '07... full link here

New Weapon Against Warming:
"Flatulence Cards" Offset Dog, Human Emissions
Sean Markey
for National Geographic News
March 6, 2007

While global warming is nothing to laugh at, an Australian company is providing some comic relief, selling carbon credits for flatulent pets and people.

So-called carbon emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are greenhouse gases that are thought to be key factors in climate change. These emissions can be offset by purchasing carbon credits, which may be used to fund environmental programs.

For 35 Australian dollars (about 27 U.S. dollars), customers of Sydney-based Easy Being Green can offset a year's worth of carbon emissions linked to their dogs, from trips to the vet to, yes, breaking wind.

Making your cat carbon neutral for a year costs U.S.$6, while U.S.$16 offsets two years of flatulence from that special someone.

The company says it offsets the climate-warming effects of emissions from cars, planes, humans, and pets by installing energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs and water-saving shower heads in houses in New South Wales, Australia (see map of Australia.)

Hmmmm...

....I mean, My God!, we're talking about Gov. Arny with his great big knife, ....

I wish he'd never quit his day job. He was much better as the Terminator than the Govinator.

But who knows, if he succeeds in collapsing California, maybe he'll be remembered as the great Anarchist Liberator!

It's not really his fault, Kaliphornia has been collapsing itself since the 50s. It is a "failed social experiment." You gotta give Kaliphornia kudos for trying to create a socialist utopia, it's kinda cute in a way....It's almost like wide-eyed children trying to govern. But it just hasn't worked, and they should graciously step aside and let the grown ups have a try.

Here's all you need to balance a budget of any state our country, without even eliminating "government" (because that's hard to do):

FIVE-POINT PLAN FOR "FIXING" ANY STATE OR NATION
1. Eliminate welfare, of all kinds.
2. legalize all drugs.
3. universal right-to-carry (even if you have to do it via permits like Florida and Texas)
4. universal castle doctrine.
5. Public hangings for political corruption.

Those five changes would eliminate deficits, gangs, most crime, illegal immigration, and people sitting on their ass doing nothing.

Here's Kaliphornai's latest "attempt" to "make it all work out", charging solo drivers $1.40 a mile to use car pool lanes:

DJ and I drove across Casper during rush hour yesterday, one side to the other, took about 15 minutes.

Only one problem with your plan, Michael. You'd have to eliminate government to implement it! LOL  They are mutually exclusive.

[MichaelNotMike]

Well, as Molon Labe points out, it took a while to get that far into the woods, it may take a while to get back out.

[MamaLiberty]

That would be nice, but I don't think so. I think we'd all like to see a gradual change from tyranny to freedom, but I suspect it is not humanly possible. I can't recall a single incident in history that would support such a hope.

Since government and liberty are mutually exclusive, they can't both occupy the same space.  And I don't ever expect enough people to be willing to exchange one for the other as long as most of them directly benefit from the theft and coercion. Which leaves mostly the grave potential for violence once the gravy train derails. California is a good test market for that concept.

We shall see.

[springtime10]

Michael I love your 5 point plan. See it doesn't take 1200 pages to write decent legislation: just a paragraph and mwd did it.

I'm all about doing things efficiently.

So, we got our Wyoming licenses today. Yay!
Here we are with them, also holding our new non-California mags (50-rd .22 rifle, and 15-rd 9mm sidearm mag.)



(personal info on licenses blurred out.)

   Government and criminality is analogous. No difference whatsoever.
