It's impossible for anyone to hate pretzels, right? -- nm - ty97 Jan 7, 06:10 8

unless they had a magical declination adjustment, that Roman sword would point to magnetic north. just sayin'. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 19:56 6
- I'm not sure how they measured it, but the metal would have to be intentionally magnetized to align north on a float, wouldn't it? -- nm - Max Jan 6, 19:59 5

- I don't understand the jurisdiction here. If it's federal property why is a county sheriff mediating? -- nm - Max Jan 6, 19:57 4
  - Short answer - because he wants to. (He's not mediating - he's passing on a message of what local residents think) -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 20:04 3
    - Additionally, this particular strain of anti-government militia folks view the county sheriff as the only valid (or at least most valid) ... - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 20:16
