    Fair warning for the fair (no guns)...

    OK2A is going to run a bill to stop them from prohibiting guns on the fairgrounds. It would make it the same situation as the Zoo (concealed only). The House floor leader was at the meeting and said he would bring the bill to a vote in the House.

    Property Tax Sale - Any Lawyers Out There?

    It does work out to be the fourth year after the tax year, but it’s three years after taxes become delinquent, which is March 31 the year after the tax year. So for tax year 2015, property taxes came due December 31, 2015 unpaid taxes became delinquent March 31, 2016, then as of March 31 this...

    Property Tax Sale - Any Lawyers Out There?

    Three years. If tax year 2015 is still unpaid it goes to auction next week. I just linked to 2018 for that property because linking to the list of all tax years wasn’t working.

    Electoral College

    Our constitution started out without the Electoral College (first few drafts, I believe). The original idea was for Congress to elect the president, which would have been even more indirect than the Electoral College due to US senators being elected by the state legislature in most (all?)...

    Why My Family Opposes Certain Vaccines

    Arguing from authority and personal experience are fine and all (they’re not – they’re fallacious), but in terms of making informed decisions, you need evidence. How many people here have actually bothered to read any vaccine research? I’m going to guess there’s not much interest in that kind of...

    Why My Family Opposes Certain Vaccines

    Okay I’ve got to stop trying to rely on sarcasm to make a point. Having no reason to think that you do your work with anything but devotion and careful consideration for what’s best for your patients, I was trying to point out that what you said can’t be an honest representation of how you think...

    Why My Family Opposes Certain Vaccines

    Woah boy that’s a big question. I’ve spent ridiculous amounts of time over the last three years looking for answers to that question, and I’ve mostly found more and more questions. But there is some head-turning data out there, and there’s more all the time. You’ll have to allow me to take some...

    Why My Family Opposes Certain Vaccines

    So the level of risk doesn’t matter because no activity is risk-free? :lookaroun I guess if that works for you that’s fine, but I evaluate risk a little more carefully. And that was my point in the first place. Medical decisions are highly personal and individual. And risk itself is individual...

    What is the “serious jeopardy,” specifically?

    Why My Family Opposes Certain Vaccines

    This might begin to approach being a decent argument if vaccines were risk-free. As it is, the potential risks are underplayed, to put it mildly.

    Why My Family Opposes Certain Vaccines

    I’m for informed consent (as all healthcare providers and authorities should be, but unfortunately coercion rules in this topic). Many people have many good reasons for refusing certain vaccines, but if someone’s reasons are stupid, it’s still their decision to make for themselves and their...

    Property Tax Sale - Any Lawyers Out There?

    After some very helpful conversations with y’all and doing some more due diligence, I’ve decided this isn’t the right property for me. I’m considering a couple other houses in another county. If you pray, please pray that God will give me wisdom and clarity in this. It’s a significant...

    Property Tax Sale - Any Lawyers Out There?

    In the county this house is in, the treasurer immediately deeds the property to the winner. The treasurer is done with it at that point and it’s up to you to have the deed filed. If there are state or federal tax liens, won’t they show up in a search of the county clerk’s records? I believe...

    Property Tax Sale - Any Lawyers Out There?

    Thanks! That’s very kind of you. It’s tricky to evaluate because I don’t have access to the inside of the house (haven’t been able to contact the owner), so plumbing and electric are a crap-shoot. There’s a chance the house has frozen without the plumbing being winterized, and there are signs...

    Property Tax Sale - Any Lawyers Out There?

    Yeah I’d want to fully control the property and protect it as soon as possible. I don’t have a problem with physically getting past the lock, but if someone else has possession of the property, I can’t go in and lock them out just because I own it. I don’t think anyone else has possession, but...

    Property Tax Sale - Any Lawyers Out There?

    Thanks for all the responses! I’m sure the sheriff is knowledgeable and deals with this kind of thing all the time, but I’ve been burned by the advice of law enforcement before to the tune of thousands of dollars in legal fees and more. I will ask the sheriff’s department, but won’t trust their...

    Property Tax Sale - Any Lawyers Out There?

    I’m hoping to buy a house at a tax resale auction. The house is in pretty bad shape. The plan is to make repairs and improvements and move the family in. This is my first experience with a tax resale, so I have a couple questions that maybe someone out there can give some advice on, or recommend...

    Remember Toxic Masculinity?---Dad Teaches Trans Son to Shave in Heartwarming New Gillette Ad

    To be fair to you, if you think I misrepresented your position on hypocrisy among Christians with my post about police, please clarify your argument, because the law enforcement analogy fits perfectly what you’ve said so far.
