Okay, this question may seem a little weird, but I need as much  
information as possible.  A while back ago, the State of Maryland passed a  
law requiring all out of state drivers to get a special permit to park  
(for long periods of time) in the state (i.e. this prevents residents of  
MD from keeping their cars registered in MD).  There's a clause in the  
law, that says students can get a special permit to not get fined or  
ticketed.  Most police probably don't even know about this law, but I'm  
interested in any information that may be available on this topic.  Is  
anybody familiar with this law?  Thanks.

Dear USENET Neighbor,

Are you interested in Orange County?

Are you interested in the United States?

Are you sick of politics as usual?

I am. And, I am doing something about it. You can to. I have decided to run for 
public office. To to this I will need help. To make things even harder, I will 
be running as a Democrat in an area that hasn't elected a Democrat, ever, for 
this office.

If you are interested in getting the politicians, and the attorneys, out of 
office, please contact me. I am a successful business and computer consultant, 
as well as a systems analyst with over 11 years of experience in analysis. I am 
for less government (I want the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constituton 
enforced) and am labeled a fiscal conservative (I want to eliminate the deficit 
and the debt). I am also catagorized as a social liberal. I support pro-choice 
and support programs that give hands-up, not hand-outs.

If you want more information on where I stand, or want to discuss specific 
issues, please contact me (at this time, use e-mail ivler@mdcbbs.com or 
call me at home (714) 828-8489 ). I will be running for the U.S. Congressional 
seat of the 46th district, currently held by Robert Dornan.

This is a grass-roots organization. I am not accepting monies from Political 
Action Committies, Special Interest Groups or even the Political Parties. I 
want to prove that a citizen who cares can take the government back from the 
machines that have been running it into the ground. It has to start somewhere. 
It will start here. Now. And I need your help to do it.

Thank you.

Would you are anyone else post an example message that has resulted in
receiving a file through the Simtel system. I have tried three times to get
DVC18.ZIP using the info from SIMTEL.HOW without success. Obviously, I am
doing something wrong, as I saw a while back a message from an enthusiast

Yes; yours. If it were known that the embassy guards might be
HIV-positive, *no one* would go near them. Further, HIV-positive
does *not* automatically imply homosexual. There are many other
ways to become infected while pursuing heterosexual practices.

I suppose that since you find PACs to be a form of moral leprosy, 
you feel that the eco-freaks, oil companies, mining companies,
transportation companies, beef producers, pork producers, corn
producers, farmers in general, video equipment manufacturers, 
record companies, unions, taxpayers' rights groups, consumer
protection groups, auto manufacturers, steel companies, and 
several hundred (at least) other groups should have their
"unnatural" behavior "corrected"? Right.....

Being free means not having to live someone elses way. That includes
your way. I haven't seen any homosexual group attempting to outlaw
churches, simply because they think differently. They just want
the churches to leave them alone, to not persecute them.

Unfortunantly, history has shown that there is never a shortage
of persecuters....

Did you here that they got the guy who is the "role model" for
Matlock to work on her defense...I am suprized they haven't
announced Tim Morgan as being one of her Attorneys. 
  I read an editorial in todays (Wed.) Paper from someone who
says that the only reason Mo' wants to prosecute this case is
because it is a "National Media" hype story. I also think that
is a bunch of bologna.
  I look at it this way, if there was a job I had been working
on for X time, and that job was critical--say the invention of
the MODEM (grin) and I was nearly finished with it when UDS
decided they no longer needed my services, I would not hesitate
to ask to continue working on the modem until I finished it as a
"contractor", and UDS would be better served allowing me to
complete the work rather than having someone else come in "cold"
attempt to decipher my notes and then attempt to finish my work.
  Do you see my point?

I have been fillng Chevron regular unleaded at gas station on corner of
Hwy 20 and Wall-Triana.  Lately I noticed the car would knock a little bit 
on fast pickups.  I tried Chevron supreme unleaded, but no help.  Also all 
this was happening after a tune up.  Then one day I happened to fill Exxon 
regular unleaded at Old Madison Pike and the knocking problem was gone.
Needless to say, I have better pickup than I used to have by using Chevron.

I have had similar problems with BP and AMOCO at Wall-Triana & Hwy 20
intersection.   Does anybody else have similar performance experiences based
on different brands of gas?  Nowadays, I believe only in Exxon.

In town where the roads are lighted anyway, they are probabily redundant, but
out in the country where the only light is from headlights, the reflectors
are handy.  I hated them when they first put them on some of the roads in
east Tennessee where I grew up until one night when I needed to get someplace
in a big hurry.  I found out that I could drive a lot faster because my
effective vision (ie knowing about curves in advance) was doubled+.
For this reason I rearned to accept the scaring "twhakk" of my tires hitting
one.

Last night I saw perhaps the most blatant and insensitive case of media bias
to date...

On CNN Headline news, they began a story about Bush's mother dying, showed a
few seconds of Bush, a 2 second clip of the mother (from DEEP in the vaults,
I'm sure), then about 30 seconds of Willy and Hilly strolling along, basking
in their newfound Washington glory, with a comment that Willy "had met Bush's
mother once".... anyone else think that the media is rubbing it in just a BIT
much? Well, I guess they put enough effort and money into buying the election,
so now they are going to damn well enjoy it...

That does it. No more CNN. And I don't even LIKE Bush. I just can't believe
another word those folks broadcast.

Well one thing I love about Democrats (I should say LIBERALS) is
that they give me lots of things to do in my free time :)
  I get insight mag' and they list how the Senators and
Congressmen voted on issues. Cramer is not one of the more
CONSERVATIVE Democrats---he leans way left.
  Voting for programs in our area is what he is supposed to do,
if he didn't he wouldn't get the local Republican vote, but his
voting in the National Arena is what has been lacking. If he
votes to cut defence in places like CA. TX et. al. you *might*
be led to believe that is good, because that *might* strengthen
our military programs here in Huntsville. However, what he and
his party want to do is take from defense and give it to Welfare
Roles and social programs. Those cuts will be felt here, and
those cuts will be deep for many of the families living here... 
  
Wait and see.

...Wait a minute there....  did you actually mean to say 'FORCE'? 
-  It is not the place of government to run the private sector in a free-market economy.  You want socialism?  What agency should decide who gets assigned to what job?

-  Maybe I've been listening and reading news from a different planet (entirely possible :-) ), but it seems that most of the Dem's proposed policy will lead to smaller companies:  Most of the proposed nicities (mandatory training reserves, mandatory family leave, insurance, etc.) have a "cutoff" of small business with less than 50 people.  If enacted It seems that small companies with 50-75 people (especially those that are boarderline already) will have a STRONG temptation to drop below the magic number.
  Even those that don't will most likely drop a few people to save money (how do you adjust for a new 10% payroll tax?  Fire 1/10 of your workforce).  Whichever, they will have to raise prices to keep profits.

     - Oh yeah, you are forgetting one thing.  The money has to come from somewhere.  It makes no difference if people are supported by tax dollars or by higher prices.  We still pay. The only way for jobs to really be added is for companies to grow on thier own because there is a market for their product/service. The government can't do this.  


     Of course, this post only has meaning if you really meant "FORCE" ! :-)

I read an interesting article the other day. In terms of percentage, 
the U.S. murder rate peaked in the 1920's and 30's. It dropped quite 
a bit in the 40's and 50's and started to slowly rise in the 60's 
and is still slowly rising overall (there are ocassional dips in the 
year to year report). However we have yet to exceed the murder rate 
in the 20's. So yes the murder rate has gone up in the last 30 years 
and no it has not gone up in the last 60 years. Simple? <grin>

No I am not brainwashed by the local paper. Actually compared to 
most, I think the Huntsville Times gives a unbiased story (again compared 
to most other papers). We could argue about this all day, just look 
at his voting record and you will see severl of your statement
 are incorrect. He constantly voted for area military and NASA
projects. Now I do think you are correct about NEA, but so what. 
He voted to give them some funding. With the new guidelines there 
will not be a repeat of the Cricifix in a jar of urine, that started 
the whole NEA debate.
Come on Leah, not all democrats are bad, just most of them<grin>.
