Love is like the sea, it's a moving thing; but
still it takes its shape from the shore it meets and
it's different with every shore.

As an overweight person (trolls are fixated on this), I oppose special-interest mandates like Cohen's (D-TN) SEAT Act, for wider seats.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
Very tall people regularly complain about legroom on planes. The airline industry is competitive, e.g., LUV will soon introduce 17.8" seats— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
United has more legroom in Economy Plus, FC seats can be up to 21" wide, airlines might let you book aisle or adjacent seats at a premium.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
Do I have to remind you to be really careful of what you wish for from govt? Doesn't anyone remember the $640 toilet seats from the 1980's?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
Intervening in the Middle East is like stepping into quicksand. The more vigorously you thrash about, the deeper you sink yourself in.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
As a SC resident, I only regret I have but one vote to cast for my country. Trump, my vote is not for sale. The vote will be against Trump.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
Finally, an ad on Trump that treats him like the immature schoolyard bully he is, featuring the Trump action figure https://t.co/1PkH7wkzkx— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
Bernie Sanders doesn't get criminal justice reform. Overcrowded prisons are an artifact of the overregulated state. Diminishing returns!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
The answer to our extraordinary prison problem is not special-interest politics undermining equality under the law. It's to reduce laws.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
When laws become numerous, they become unknowable. Enforcement becomes arbitrary. Al Capone got convicted on income tax evasion vs crimes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
Okay, when Trump cultist parents start styling their kids' hair after whatever that thing is growing on Trump's head pic.twitter.com/2utXuaxB0s— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
Trump: “I am the only candidate self-funding my campaign.” So he's the only wealthy candidate. Government of, by, and for the plutocrats?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
@LizMair, do you approve of this message? https://t.co/wiiDre2IZF— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
So help me, if I hear Donald Trump compare the attempt to condemn an elderly woman's home for a casino parking lot to roads, bridges,schools— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2016
Kudos to the WV legislature for promoting the rights of individual workers over special-interest unions by passing right to work over veto.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
Trump's exchange with Bush on eminent domain on pipelines was disingenuous. We have a conflict of property with migration rights: easements.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
Pipelines are basically special-purpose highways for energy delivery, a necessity for the economy. Pipelines guarantee access for easements.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
In Trump's case, the widow's property was not blocking access to his casino; the proposed parking lot was for Trump's exclusive purposes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
Image for the DayI remember my high school was a mile across the AFB entrance, but the landowner refused an easement; the bus had to drive 3-4 miles around.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016

Latin America and Socialism
