I just received mine and I love it! This is the only mount I've ever had where it just worked right out of the box.

I read the manual (several times) while waiting for the mount to be delivered, so I knew what to do when it arrived; I unpacked it and checked for any missing pieces or shipping damage. Finding all in order, I assembled it and setup the Keypad, put my scope on it...And it worked perfectly!!!! No 'tuning', no frantic calls to the manufacterer, or forum searches...it just worked.

This mount doesn't just fade into the background during use, it's 'invisible' when it arrives!

Everyone is certainly entitled to speak their mind on this particular issue, however at least be honest in what's being discussed; we're talking about nothing less than abdicating to the government complete control over our healthcare and related decisions...this is big time serious and needs to be very carefully considered, and not rammed through by a single party.

I've tried to read and understand the legislation, and it's mindbendingly obtuse; no one, not Congress, not the President, or any of its ardent citizen supporters can honestly say they've read and fully understand this 2700+ monstrosity.

Besides the Federal Government has managed Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid (and the list could easily go on...) into the 'ground' already, are we really sure that taking everyone's healthcare down that same road is good idea?

What more is there to say. Case closed.

Wow, now that's an amazing deduction based on nothing but a single generic poll vote! 8O On the other hand, I'm sure Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot would agree....

"F-" Cute, wish I'd have thought of that...I only gave them an ordinary "F".

The approximately 600 "Mandarins" in Washington D.C. that inhabit elected and appointed positions of authority knowingly defy the will of the American People they pretend to represent. Most of these have either their own best interests at heart, or are ideologically motivated and are willing to risk punishment for the advancement of their Marxist agenda.

That's just the way it is.

If by "necessary to provide for the common needs", you mean the Federal Government should have sufficient funds to perform its constitutionally mandated duties, then I'm all for it. However the role the Federal Government is now playing bears no resemblance to that foreseen for it by our founders.

The size and appetite of the Federal Government has reached the point where we literally work for it for a substantial portion of each year (to pay our tax obligation), and that's just wrong; it owns and/or controls student loans, home mortgages, healthcare (hopefully to be repealed), car companies, insurance companies, banks, and wall street investment houses. And that doesn't even begin to enumerate the number of ways that it has managed to insinuate itself into our daily affairs like legislating the type light of bulbs we're allowed to use or the amount of water our toilets flush.

The government has plenty of room to downsize and still meet its constitutional obligations, let it do so and then we can revisit taxes.

Ok, I'll bite...I objected to the Medicare B Prescription Bill too. However, unlike Obamacare, Medicare B Prescription Bill didn't effectively nationalize our healthcare system. I also would dispute that it's more expensive than Obamacare, since once the Feds own our healthcare, everything becomes moot anyway.

Your statement seems like a non-sequitur...what is the referent, the efficacy of tax reductions, the cost of government run healthcare, the 'science' behind the anthropogenic global warming hoax?
