The remarkable technology of today.
From Edson Stiverson
I was visiting my son last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
“This is the 21st century Dad,” he said. “We don’t waste money on newspapers anymore. Here, use my iPad.”
I can tell you that bloody fly never knew what hit it………..
Baconomics
FEUDALISM: You have bacon. The lord comes and takes the bacon. And your last pig. You get a potato.
PURE SOCIALISM: You have some bacon. Your neighbor does not. The government takes your bacon and gives it to the neighbor. You have to take a second job to bring home the bacon so you can continue to supply the non working neighbor with your bacon.
BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have some bacon. The government takes half of it to give to the neighbor with none. The bacon is then managed by a Bacon Czar with a large staff. The Bacon Czar is a vegan. With the ensuing paperwork, and the latent inability of the Bacon Czar to actually handle the bacon, the bacon goes bad and is thrown out.
FASCISM: You have a little bit of bacon. The government takes it, and offers to sell you the oink.
PURE COMMUNISM: You have bacon. Your neighbor works to help you get more bacon and you share in it, even though he eats twice as much as you and does half the amount of work.
RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have bacon. The government takes it and gives you a potato.
DICTATORSHIP: You have bacon. The government takes it and drafts you. You get MRE’s. They do not contain bacon.
PURE DEMOCRACY: You have bacon. You vote with your neighbors as to how your bacon should be protected.
REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have some bacon. You elect someone to vote on how best to ensure you get more bacon.

Supv. Taylor Named Coconino County Board Chairman
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Coconino County District 1 Supervisor Carl Taylor was named as the County Board of Supervisor’s next chairman during the Board’s regular meeting Tuesday.
Supervisor Taylor, who has served as chairman twice before, said he was honored for yet another opportunity to represent the Board and County residents as chairman.
“It is always a tremendous honor and privilege to serve the County as chairman. I look forward to carry out this duty on behalf of the Board and the residents we represent,” Supervisor Taylor said.
Supervisor Taylor replaces outgoing District 5 Supervisor Lena Fowler as chairwoman. The Board also voted unanimously to name District 2 Supervisor Liz Archuleta as vice-chairwoman, replacing District 3 Supervisor Matt Ryan.
Outgoing Chairwoman Fowler thanked her fellow supervisors for the opportunity to lead the Board since being named to the spot in August. Fowler was the first Native American to hold the post in County history.
“The County is well managed and it’s because of the support of our dedicated staff and our fellow elected officials,” Fowler said. “We all work together for the greater good of the residents of Coconino County.”
Supervisor Taylor begins his duties as chairman April 1.
Senate committee sends emergency bill to the legislature
Phoenix —The Senate Committee on Border Security, Federalism and State’s Sovereignty voted on Thursday, January 26th to send two bills and a resolution to the legislature for a vote.
S.B. 1083 to establish the Arizona State Guard received six yes votes, one no and one not voting. Major General Salazar, Adjutant General of the National Guard, expressed some concerns about the wording in the Arizona Constitution which might make the Arizona State Guard under the National Guard. The Arizona State Guard when called by the governor would, in effect, be a militia and thus subject to National Guard. Senator Sylvia Allen noted that there is was an effort to write the language so that it is clear that they are two separate entities and the Arizona State Guard would be under Arizona State control. Another point General Salazar made was whether or not federal agencies would welcome State Guard personnel in their areas of operation. He was unclear what coordination could be conducted.
He did clarify that he was not objecting the the legislation but pointing out areas of the legislation and Arizona Constitution that might cause contention. At one point he joked, “I’m not taking this personally.”
One concern expressed was basically giving a gun to untrained people and sending them to the border. In previous testimony, however, it was made clear that they would be trained before they were sent into areas of operation. One Senator with previous military experience balked at the notion giving several examples of where the Army trained various groups around the world in a short amount of time to fight.
SCR 1008 and S.B. 1081 giving counties the ability to declare emergencies in the forested areas to clean out fire fuels also passed, both with a vote of 6 yes and two not voting.
