Reply to comment by No-Setting9690 in Bell Township (Western PA) bar sued by woman who claimed injuries caused by drunken fall from stool by Jumpy-Natural4868

>This country is nothing but alcoholics.

This maybe true. When was the last time you went to a social event where alcohol was not prominently displayed/served?

A bar has certain responsibilities. Some of those are by law, others under its licensure and others under its liability policy. These types of cases have been litigated for at least 35 years. When cases have not been settled, the courts have been clear as to the establishment's responsibilities.

This women did not suddenly become drunk. And, given the place and her age, the bar likely knew of her habits.

Reply to comment by SchnauzerHaus in PA Looks To Study, Expand Conservation Corridors To Save Wildlife by susinpgh

This is a prime example of why donating to non-profit conservation organizations is key to preserving productive farmland. Conservation Districts do some protection of ag lands but their requirements are really strict. For instance, you can have a handful of applicants that are nearly identical but if one is adjacent to an already preserved farm, then that applicant is the most likely to get the preservation dollars. The farm located next to an existing development is least likely to be preserved, even tho its preservation is most likely to keep it from being developed. At the same time, that big paycheck from the developer is hard to turn down. For older farmers, that paycheck funds their retirement.

Reply to Anybody have deforested Rothrock state forest pics? by abou824

Most of PA was cleared of the large trees in its forests by about 1900. Folks thought the supply was endless... until it wasn't. Took real effort to grow back the trees.

Now we've got insects and fungus removing certain species. Chestnuts and elms are mostly gone. Ash are almost gone. Hemlocks are in danger. And now chestnut oaks are under attack by fungus. Which tree is next?

Unable to counter my specific comments, you insert gratuitous commentary that supports only your narrative. I need not temper my comments just because you want me to state something different. Nor does what your latest comment subjugate my point to your narrative.

Fact: the lack of competition places UGI in a position where they, and they alone, can determine the market price. Is it a monopoly? Technically, no. You do not deny that point - the lack of competition - when you describe the propane situation.
