Unregulated, free market:
1. Firefighters: Your house burns to the ground if you can’t afford to pay them.
2. Cops: The guy who can pay their fee has justice on his side.

Mick -
Some girls take my money
Some girls take my clothes
Some girls get the shirt off my back
And leave me with a lethal dose
A Jerry Hall poem -
Icon

The hint of chocolate gives the sausage a lush mouth-feel and the mild peppers provide just the right amount of heat on the tongue. The taste experience is intoxicating. I’m talking mouthgasms…

My wife’s mom and stepdad were here a couple of weeks ago. At the time they asked if we’d be allowing our new son, the reason they were visiting, to run around the neighborhood with the other kids when he’s old enough. My answer was an immediate and definite “no,” and they teased me [...]
