I would ask DeBerry from North Carolina if he would like to entertain in his home a man who broke his marriage vows three times by committing adultery, consorted with prostitutes, lies automatically about inconsequential things, makes up "facts" and when shown them to be in error blames "someone" else for the mistake.

Nay sayers have an absolute constitutional right to not wear a mask if they so choose. However they do NOT have a right to effect others. If local law says wear a mask when in public individuals must comply.
Same with seat belts, local law says drivers must wear seat belts while driving. If the car is not in motion the seat belt can be removed.
As long as naysayers are in their own homes no mask is required, but if you are in public or in my space put a mask on or get out of my face.

Rob,
Thank you for your reply.
At this time $1,300 US is more than I wish to spend.

I will be in Captiva the last week of 2018. How much are you asking for the lens?

Hi Mickmates,
I'm a bit older ( 85 ). I wan't us a lens longer than 300mm for birds. Is yours for sale? Where are you located?

Does any one have either of the above lenses for sale. To be used with a Nikon D 600

I live in Manchester, CT. Are there any clubs in this area?

As former air Force Officer who took an oath to defend the Constitution of The United States against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC, it is necessary to remind some people that the Confederate F**g and its defenders represent an act of TREASON and should be labeled as such. Statues of Robert E. Lee and other Confederate soldiers and politicians could be preserved as long as they are labeled for what they were historically---T*****RS!

I play CD's and the Radio. I've been photographing since age ten, am now eighty three.

I forgot who said that there is no such thing as bad publicity. Over the past two years a day did not go by without a Trump headline. Free publicity.
Now that Trump Republicans are in power we will see how they can legislate and execute.
Perhaps relying on the best promises of coal and oil producers will keep our air and water from continuing contamination. We will have to rely on these corporations because any federal clean air and water rules will be rescinded.
Repealing Obama care will reinforce the power of commercial for profit insurance companies. These same companies who stated during the debate before the law was past:" rates will go up if this law is passed, AND, rates will go up if this law is not passed".
After all, insurance companies are used to spending 30 cents of premium dollar for administrative cost, AND taking 30 cents of premium dollar for profit. That leaves 40 cents for health care.
Of course a single payer can operate for 7 or 8 cents of premium dollar for administration and no expenses for profit. Look at Congressional health insurance, Medicare, or Military health care.
How will the Republican tax reforms stimulate job growth in industries that no longer need workers replaced by automation? Will a decrease in corporate rates increase employment? Since so many corporations do not pay taxes anyway why should we expect things to change?
It would seem that any benefit to the average citizen in the next 4years will rely on some unrestricted individuals to do the right thing. These are the same individuals who run the banks, energy companies, insurance companies, drug companies,etc. These folks needed restrictive regulation in the past to keep their greed in check, but now that we have a new regime perhaps they will voluntarily change.

While I was in practice I sat on a hospital committee charged with vetting insurance companies. Private insurance companies averaged 30% of premium dollars for "administrative" costs and 30% of premium dollars for profit. That is 60% of premium dollars NOT PAYING FOR HEALTH CARE. When interviewed before the Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress, Insurance Company Spokesman stated that if the legislation passed premiums would rise. Further they said if the legislation did not pass premiums would rise.Single payer plans already existing in the US such as Medicare, Military Health Care, V.A. and Congressional health care average 8% costs for Administration with no profit charges to premium for profit. Why does the Affordable Care Act include for profit insurance companies as the administrators of health care care insurance? Perhaps the fact that the Insurance Lobby was instrumental in writing the law.

All the four letter words are overused to the point that they are ineffective. My preferences are: Goodness Gracious, Merciful Heavens, and if particularly provoked, Oatmeal!

That is what happens when for profit insurance companies are the only game in town!
