Guest Post, from Dorian:
Smoking hot nerd of the Month: Jeri Ellsworth
Ok, Jeri is smoking hot, and stone cold brilliant. She’s a high school drop out who taught herself electronics and programming. Best of all, she makes youtube video’s where she does stuff that ordinary people just are not suppose to be able to do. Yes, makes integrated circuits in her kitchen. No seriously, makes integrated circuits in her freaking kitchen.
I’m not smart like Jeri, though I wish I was.
A) She’s beautiful, B) she’s brilliant, C) she’s brilliant, and D), did I mention she’s brilliant?
Ok, Jeri has her own youtube channel, you can watch any of her 400 plus video’s. They’re are both amazing and inspiring.

EDIT: Just as an non sequitur, I would ask Jeri to marry me, but damn it, she’s obviously way to damned smart for me… <— Yes this is me weeping at the though of her rejecting of me…
free trade? i think not. as usual, america gets the shaft
it ceases to be competition when there are govt subsidies, especially at the level of south korea. this is a direct violation of trade agreements, but america are suckers, so we lose, again.
i thought the dems were for the little guy, obama?
@ coldwarrior:
I’ve never been an advocate of “free trade”. There are too many ways for foreign countries to gimmick the deal, and no real incentives for them not to. I think, rather, to have fair trade, but that means if the prospective country has subsidies that cut their prices they have tarrifs that bring them back up to what the market price in the United States is at. Likewise, our companies have a vast plethora of environmental regulations that they have to comply with bringing their prices up. Foreign companies do not have that, an unfair advantage when it comes to the bottom line. Also, tarrifs were really supposed to be the taxes that kept what Federal government we had afloat. Instead, we have gotten rid of the tarrifs and gone instead to the “progressive’ income tax. A tax that in many ways converts most of us into indentured servants of the State. We have to make the money to pay off the Federal government first, before we can put a dime in our own pockets. This is neither fair nor just. When the big debate over NAFTA was occurring, I was taking a course on the politics of China and Japan. The instructor was Taiwanese. He said that it really wasn’t his place to tell Americans how to run their country, but if he were American he’d be against it. I agreed with that. NAFTA hasn’t really done what it was promised it would do. One of the supposed benefits of NAFTA was going to be that it created jobs in Mexico so that people would quit jumping the border. How’d that work out?

reagan put the slap down on toyota, datsun, and honda because they were dumping here. now they have plants all over america.
we are suckers. we let countries walk all over us on this trade stuff. it costs jobs and forces production overseas.
on a level playing-field the american worker kicks ass and is far more productive than anyone elese inthe world.
coldwarrior wrote:
Exactly. It is getting the level playing field that is the thing. Places like China don’t have OSHA to worry about, let alone separate bathrooms for transgendered left-handed wrench-turners and all the other nonsense that American companies have to comply with. I don’t object to imports if they are done correctly. I like being able to buy a Glock that was made in Austria, or an AK 47 that was made in Bulgaria (currently Bulgaria is turning out the nicest AK 47s ever manufactured. They are even nicer than the Polytech Legend series weapons, which were manufactured specifically to be a higher end weapon for American civilians). But these companies are able to have drop-dead prices because they don’t have to spend as much just to be at the baseline of manufacturing that we do here. I don’t advocate getting rid of OSHA, though maybe curtailing some of its most restrictive requirements would pose no threat to human life. I’ve worked construction, and people will do crazy unsafe things if you give them the opportunity (you should see iron workers climbing around on steel that is high up in the air. Crazy shit). But if we have to comply with these laws it is not fair trade if we are going against nations which do not.
@ Iron Fist:
even with all but the goofiest regs, the american worker is far far more productive than anyone else. i’ll need to dig up the nuimbers but IIRC, 26x more productive than chinese, 10x more productive than euros.
fact is we cant win if say, he govt of korea is giving billions to one or wo huge steel mills to turn out pipe to dump in america. there is no way in a normal world that korean pipe is cheaper than pipe made in western pa that is to be used right here…transportation costs should make american pipe a no brainer.
we ALLOW this to happen and for the life of me i cant figure out why.

seems like lotsa ‘educated’ peeps are severely lacking in predictive skillz.
I hope this is accurate:
As they say, read the whole thing. They go into detail about the Courts more “controversial” decisions of the last few terms. They don’t mention Heller or McDonald, arguably the most two important decisions of the Roberts’ Court to date. I want this to be true. I want them to be laying the groundwork for even more expanded decisions in the future. I was severely disappointed in Roberts for his ObamaCare decision, but he hasn’t apparently gone full Souter on us. That, at least, is somewhat comforting. Roberts’, Alito, Thomas, and Scalia are likely to be on the court for many more years, and Kennedy has said he won’t step down until there is a Republican President to replace him (much as Sandra Day O’Connor did). It is a narrowly divided Court, but we get something of the decisions out of it that we want, if more limited than we’d really hope for.

The only thing I can figure is if it is the same thing as importing cheap illegal labor. The big businesses support it because it helps maximize their bottom line. What is it to a drilling company if they buy South Korean pipe that the South Korean government subsidizes? It is corporate welfare, really, being paid for by the people of South Korea. If you take it as a broader market, though, and think about maximizing the share of the wealth that the United States produces as a whole, it can be seen that it is pernicious to permit this to happen. I see no evidence that corporate America thinks long-term about much of anything. They think about the next couple of quarters and what will maximize the bottom line over that time span, rather than thinking of the broader market and the fact that the more prosperous the United States is as a whole, the more prosperous they will be as a company. But what do I know? I’ve got a poli-sci degree and a computer degree. I’m not an MBA or economist.

Oh, I should tell you that the swelling is down in my right foot, but the left is still swollen. I have to get into the doctor’s at 8:00 tomorrow morning. She wants to check me out, and has told me to not take the Phentermine today. I don’t know if this is a reaction to the meds or not. My doctor (nurse-practitioner, really) is concerned about my kidneys. SO I go get checked out. If it were just the neuropathy hurting worse, I could deal with the pain over the short term, but if it is going to cause my feet and lower legs to swell I have to come off of it.
@ Iron Fist:
we also pay for the corporate welfare in korea by NOT haveing the production here.
the guys down the road from me were making pipe 24/7 365. now, most of the overtime is gone. no layoffs yet, luckily. they factory did a nice upgrade two years ago but now has excess capacity becasue of dumped imports.

I don’t think that there can be any doubt about that. Look at the Keystone pipeline. How many blue-ribbon panels does Obama need to tell him there is no negative environmental impact for it for him to pull the trigger and let it run? He’s been told that, what, three or four times now? Every time one of his panels come back and says it is good to go, he calls for more investigation. If he ever got one to say it was negative, well, then the “science would be settled”. It is clear to anybody paying attention that Obama just doesn’t want the pipeline built. He is just looking for some political cover with the Unions, since they are going to be mightily pissed about Obama pissing away all of those jobs. You can also see that in his “stimulus”. That was just a raid on the treasury for his big doners. If Obama were serious about his “environmentalism” (as opposed to using that for a club to punish the American economy), he’d have made a huge push to nuclearize the American power grid. That is what all of these “greens” would be calling for if they really believed the global warming shit. Thing of the hundreds of thousands of jobs that would have created for years. Long-term work in the construction of the plants themselves, and long-term employment for the operators once the plants came on line. If you are going to try a Keynesian “stimulus”, make sure you get something in return for that money. All Obama did was make some of his rich cronies richer.
@ coldwarrior:
Yeah, it is. It does help with my hunger, but if it is going to cause my feet to swell I have to come off of it. It is unfortunate, but that is what it is. I need something to help me get these last 10-15 pounds off and keep it off. I am doing good on my cardio and everything else, but controlling my diet is a damned hard thing.

Interesting. It may be because the Unions are so strongly for Keystone. They look at tall of the union jobs that would create, so it is no wonder they are pissed at Obama for spiking it. Keystone really was a no-brainer project. We should have started on it years ago. I’ve heard that another factor in killing it is Warren Buffet. Apparently Berkshire-Hathaway makes good money trucking that oil to refineries, and the pipeline will ct into that rather dramatically. So there’s a lot of Democrat money pushing to kill it.

It may be that since Obama has unilaterally lifted sanctions that this is legal now. I don’t know what all was in the package when Obama decided we wanted to play extra-nice with the Iranians in exchange for their pinky-swear that they aren’t trying to develop nuclear weapons (while their nuclear weapons program marches on). Just more damage that the Obamessiah has done to American foreign policy. I think we can take “judicial notice” of the fact that it is Obama Administration policy to let Iran develop nuclear weapons.
@ coldwarrior:
thanks! We’ll see what my doctor does. I know I am never going to be the athlete I’d like to be, but I’d like to just get 10-15 more pounds off and keep them off. It’s a hell of a lot better than needing to lose 115 pounds, though, like I was before my surgery. I’d have never been able to take that off and keep it off any other way.

It has been a real transformation for me. My diabetes is better, and would be manageable without drugs if I could just make myself eat right. While this little bit of swelling is worrisome, I used to deal with much worse as a chronic issue (hence the two diuretics I was on). I couldn’t walk 1000 yards, let alone the 5-6 miles I run (on the elliptical) regularly now. I could go on. I was on the swift train to premature death, and now I am not. It wouldn’t particularly surprise me to live into my 90s with the advances in healthcare and the longevity on my mother’s side of the family. Could I be still better? Certainly. I had made it my goal last year to be in the best shape of my life when I turned 35, and I did not come close to making that. I guess it was an unrealistic goal to begin with. I did make it to my 4th degree black belt this year, and I’ll stack the guy who promoted me up against any one in the arts as far as quality goes. There are a couple of people that I’ve worked with that are better, but he is really world-class. Now I have a year until I am 46. I intend to make the best of it.

Yeah, the Left feels that they’re entitled to be offensive. They can do or say anything, and it is OK. Because they support progressive policies. And for the most part they get away with it. Look at Bill Clinton. He supported abortion, so he wAs free to sexually harass, or even assault them, and the “feminists” supported him in it. It shows how seriously they really take such things. It is like with the “rape culture” bullahit. They don’t really give a rats ass about rape (look at what that Dem said in Colorado on rape and self-defense). They only use it as a bludgeon to beat the culture into a PC shape that they approve of. If “feminists” really gave a shit about rape they’d be pushing women to get carry permits and carry guns. If 25% of the women out there carried a gun, it’d put a real crimp it potential rapists plans. If they stand a good chance of bring killed by the victim, some of these guys will find some self-control. But the “feminists” want women disarmed. They think pissing on yourself should be the only option that a woman has to defend herself.

In his memoirs, General Giap stated that North Vietnam was prepared to sue for peace after their defeat in the 1968 Tet Offensive. They continued though, because they were emboldened by the anti-war movement in the US.

That was before it looked like a political winner for them to be anti-American. When the political calculus changed, so did their opinion on the war. They never were really on America’s side.

Yeah, there was no love lost between them whatsoever. And Obama wasn’t afraid to pull the race card even on them. I don’t remember all of the details now, but I remember the Obama campaign essentially calling Bill Clinton a racist in 2008. It must have sucked to be on the receiving end of that for a change. I remember Jesse Jackson talking about cutting Obama’s balls off, too. No love lost between those two camps whatsoever. Obama’s backing Warren isn’t much of a surprise, but it’ll come as a kick in the teeth to Biden, who’s made no secret of his aspirations to be the man with the lowest IQ ever to be elected President.
And speaking of Liberal Love, read this thread at twitchy. The Left likes to go after people like Aiken for not being sensitive enough on rape, but then they feel entitled to a free pass when they say they want to see a woman raped. For real. Sure, this guy is just some douchebag on the internet, but his attitude is thoroughly representative of the Left. He is only one among millions like this.
This sounds correct to me:
We do not face military conquest by another nation anywhere in the world. Neither China, nor Russia, even if they teamed up together, could launch anything like a successful invasion of the American homeland. They simply do not have the men, equipment, or infrastructure to present that kind of threat against us. In one real sense, we are thus almost invulnerable. True, Russia or China could nuke our cities. I am not saying that they are no threat at all, and they might could launch an invasion of, say Eastern Europe (in the case of Russia; China could maybe invade the Philippines or Malaysia), acting contrary to the national interests of the United States, and certainly there is reasonable apprehension that the Iranians will get nuclear weapons, but an actual invasion by a military power is simply not feasible, nor will it be feasible in the foreseeable future. But the collapse of our borders brings its own threats to the country that, while they don’t threaten outright conquest, do pose a threat to our lifestyle and domestic tranquility. We can argue about what percentage of the illegals crossing the border are also transporting drugs or illegal weapons (to say nothing of human trafficking), but we know that it is a sizable percentage, especially on the drugs front. Indeed, it is really kind of self-defeating to declare the borders open to all comers (and that is essentially what the Obama Administration has done) while trying to combat illegal drug use in the United States. For example, here in Tennessee they have essentially made Sudafed into a prescription drug in the name of combating meth, but what’s the real point of that? Much of the meth in the United States is made in Mexico or South America and smuggled into the United States. With an open border, all restrictions like this one on Sudafed does is move the manufacture of the methamphetamine out of the United States. This is only a mild disincentative to drug trafficking, if any at all. As for arms flowing across the border, I am not sure. I don’ thave the criminal connections to know if automatic weapons are more available today than they were 25 years ago or not. I know that the prosecutions for NFA violations every year amount to only a few thousand cases a year, and that includes things like sawed-off shotguns and silencers as well as automatic weapons or destructive devices. We know that the flow of weapons to the South is so trivial that the BATF had to run guns themselves to create a “problem” to which “more gun control” was the answer. I’ll take it as a given that if the ATF is manufacturing evidence like this the real “problem” is insignificantly small. Nonetheless, the open border is a threat. Another thing to keep in mind is that bringing in illegal workers also affects the labor market in the United States (depressing pay across the board in low or unskilled labor), and, too, that some of the people being let in are members of organized crime, aimed at tapping the nation’s wealth though criminal activity (including drug trafficking).
A nation that cannot control its borders is well on the way to being a failed state. It isn’t the only criteria for that, but it is a significant one.

@ lobo91:
I didn’t know that, but it isn’t surprising to me. Northern Mexico is really a low-intensity war zone. Things are somewhat better on our side of the border, but the mass, unrestricted flow of illegal aliens through the area takes its toll on the communities there. And that is to say nothing about what a mockery this makes of our current legal immigration procedures. Why spend the months (and often years) waiting to come in legally when you can take a flight to Mexico, hop the border, and presto you are living the American Dream? The Democrats, of course, would like to legalize all immigration from anywhere with no strings attached, but this is bad policy for a number of reasons.
@ brookly red:
the American people are, in truth, very tolerant of things like this. Part of that, though, is because they are propagandized to be so from everywhere in the media. We are told that they just want “jobs Americans won’t do”, and that they deserve citizenship because racism. There’s even push to give illegal immigrants in-state tuition to universities, thus, discriminating against US citizens from other States. This is just plain wrong, and Rick Perry’s support of it is a massive negative weight on the scales.
This is interesting because of who is saying it:
Why is this interesting? Because Turley is a very Liberal Constitutional “expert”. He would theoretically be on Obama’s side here, and he is saying multiple constitutional breaches, and that it is of grave concern (or should be) to all sides in the debate. I don’t expect Obama to care, though. He is like that French King who proclaimed “After me the deluge” for France. Being a far-sighted leader this is not.
We are under no compulsion to take in anybody who wants to come here, there is no such duty.
I keep hearing that “We are a nation of immigrants” That’s not true we are 85% native born.
We should welcome new people, but on our terms. Respect our sovereignty, by respecting our borders.
When you come here respect our customs and laws. in other words assimilate.
One way to do that is to make a real attempt to master English.
Of Course everything that is just said is racist and xenophobic.
These things are only tolerable , if an American goes to another nation.

The highlighted paragraph is key. The idea that Congress not agreeing to rubber stamp whatever Obama demands is some sort of “obstructionism” is flat wrong. The Republicans in Congress were elected by their constituents, and a majority of them now control the House. If their agenda is different from Obama’s, tough. Work to get more Democrats in office, or maybe try compromising (as if that would ever happen). It doesn’t mean that you just get to ignore the results of 200+ individual House elections because you don’t like them.

@ Iron Fist:
That is, of course, what they mean when they say that. It’s also irrelevant. Yes, there was a time when we allowed pretty much uncontrolled immigration to the US, and naturalization was just a formality. We also had an entire vast continent to populate at the time. There were also essentially no government-funded welfare programs back then. If you came to America and couldn’t make it, you probably died.
That’s not the situation we have today, though. Like any nation, we have a right to decide who is and is not allowed to come here, and that decision should be made based on what’s good for us, for the most part (actual refugees notwithstanding). People like to say that we shouldn’t be the world’s policeman. We also shouldn’t be the world’s refugee camp.

No it’s not going to be pretty there were NO letters to the editor today in the paper pro-anything-Obama!

Having log lifespan only helps you evolutionarily if the longevity enables you to reproduce more successfully. Otherwise, it is just a random mutation.

I was just writing that up, more or less.
Modern humanity has been around something between 150K and 200K years, so there would theoretically be enough time for this to have happened, but, of course, humans didn’t live in Scotland for all of those 200K years. But climate doesn’t cause mutation at all. The mutation has to occur and for the mutation to make it more likely to reproduce. It’d make more sense if they said that red hair made you more fertile or something.

D’Souza Tells ABC’s Martha Raddatz: There’s A Link Between Obama And Hillary, And It’s Called Alinsky
Conservative filmmaker and commentator Dinesh D’Souza appeared on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday with stand-in host Martha Raddatz and Georgetown professor Michael Eric Dyson to discuss his new movie “America: Imagine The World Without Her.”
Raddatz quickly veered into asking D’Souza about the claims that he believes there is some type of left-wing conspiracy aimed at undermining America, and that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are apart of it.
“You essentially have a conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama turning this nation into a socialistic nation, something you said started when Hillary Clinton was in college,” Raddatz said to D’Souza.
“It’s not a conspiracy theory,” D’Souza quickly responded. “A lot of people think that Hillary is like Bill and say ‘We want Billary back in the White House’ because” of that.
He then explained that both Obama and Clinton have both been strongly influenced by the ideas of liberal activist Saul Alinsky, and that is the connection they share.
“The point we make in the film is ‘no’ and there actually is a bridge connecting Hillary to Barack, and that bridge is Saul Alinsky,” D’Souza added.

Obama has no intention of compromising any at all on anything. I linked a piece by Jonathan Turley earlier today on how bad he, as a Constitutional scholar, thinks Obama is for this. But Obama doesn’t care what the poles get about him. He’ll never see another election, so he doesn’t care if the vast majority of the country despises him. He knows as the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT he knows he won’t be impeached no matter what he does. Even if his popularity dropped into the teens the Democrats would not vote to remove him from office. They will have already lost the Senate if it came to that, and they, for the most part, will be more concerned with keeping the Democrat coalition together for 2016 than they will be, really, in whether or not Obama himself is a millstone around their neck.

@ Lily:
Yeah, I’d say that is part of it. It is a way to set themselves outside of civil society. You see people in white supremacist gangs that do that too. But what it does is show us that they should be able to filter out some of these gangsters with relative ease. I don’t think that Obama’s Border Patrol is interested in doing that. They’ve been instructed to let these people through.

Like getting immediate access to the Aussie market US pharmaceutical companies who stitched the drug pricing into the high price US scheme and trashed the inexpensive Aussie generic drug buying system through regulation, trashed the Aussie film industry through enforced US mandated unionised work practices forced on the Aussie industry. But somehow the Aussie meat producers had to wait a decade until they could compete on a level playing field with subsidised US beef producers.

@ Aussie Infidel:
I think coldwarrior has pretty much covered this, but I have a little to add. What you (and the world) should be pissed about are our grain subsidies and ethanol mandate. The ethanol mandate causes world grain prices to rise, and that is not a good thing. When the price of grain goes up, people in the Third World starve. I consider the ethanol mandate to be immoral. It doesn’t get much push-back here in the States because even our poorest can afford food. In Africa it is an abomination. On free trade itself, NAFTA has hurt American business. We always had more to lose than to gain there. But what has really hurt us is MFN trading status with China. China keeps her markets pretty much closed to American goods, while over here it is a difficult thing to find things that aren’t made in China.

Bear in mind these are the same Democrats who whined and moaned and pulled on their hair shirts that the Congress was rubber-stamping everything Bush wanted 2001-2006. The trouble for them is that this “PUSH” of the kids across the border was supposed to elicit sympathy and make everyone scream for amnesty. It’s had the exact opposite effect. They aren’t the brightest bulbs in the drawer, but I’m thinking the House members – Republican AND Democrat – are starting to get emails, facebooks posts and tweets from their constituents letting them know that NO, the American people did not now or ever favor a path to citizenship for the illegals, wanted them shipped home and frankly want this new crop returned to their parents.

You see actors with their fingers off the triggers when they should be, not indiscriminately pointing their guns at other people, and so forth. Even some of the military movies showing the characters firing semi-automatic aimed shots. At the other extreme you have da pimp in da hood holding the gun sideways, above his head, and loosely gripped so that the gun kind of dangles there. This guy (of course) hits every time he shoots, while his enemies can’t hit the broad side of a barn. You don’t see much of anything in between the two extremes, at least not in the kind of movies I watch.

that may backfire on him. It is tough to say. On the one hand, they are using kids to pull on peoples’ heart strings, and that works a surprising amount of the time, but on the other hand the economy is lousy, Americans don’t have jobs, and these people you are bringing in will undercut the poor working class. John Kerry may not care if his gardener is name Juan or John, or if he’s legal or illegal, but it makes a difference to people like the guy who does my lawn, who is American. We gave him a little raise this year because we felt he was owed it, but he didn’t raise his prices on us himself. Depending on what part of the country you are in, though, you have illegals undercutting people like this, and, as I said, the economy already sucks. Of course, this latest round of immigrants aren’t even necessarily going to do that. The big push is to get them in-state tuition (which discriminates against out-of-state US Citizens) and grants (which ultimately come out of the pockets of the US taxpayer).

They were more concerned that you be able to memorize rote facts than that you think synthetically with them. It doesn’t appear, though, that they even teach logic and reasoning in college. For a while I was a philosophy major, and I had my share of logic classes. This was good for me, even if it didn’t directly support what my eventual work would be. And in a way the philosophy did that. I’d had truth trees and truth tables, and various logical structures as a philosophy major, so when I came into classes on digital logic it wasn’t an entirely new way of thinking for me.
@ Iron Fist:
Most people don’t realize it, but in-state tuition costs the taxpayers of the state money, as well. The out-of-state tuition rate isn’t some sort of penalty. It’s the actual tuition rate. When someone is granted in-state tuition, the difference (usually around 75%) is made up by the taxpayers. The school gets the same amount of money either way.
@ lobo91:
No lie! The purpose of a slide on a shotgun is to scare people, right? It is a pretty sad commentary on the culture that we are like this. Most Americans think you should carry a gun with an unloaded round under the hammer, which, in truth, was the way you should do it with old-fashioned single-action revolvers. But those have been superseded by more than a century of technology. For the most part Hollywood is still presenting “Wild West” gunfighters, just with different weapons and maybe a broader ethnic base of actors and actresses.

They are taxing me to pay for the college education of somebody who jumped the border. If more people understood that, I think you’d have less support for that than you do. America is going broke. You can’t be borrowing money to give gifts to the neighborhood kids when you can’t pay your own mortgage.
@ Iron Fist:
Very few people understand that that’s how college tuition works, though. I didn’t know it until I went to work for the legislature and a bill came up to give in-state tuition to military spouses. When I read the cost analysis that the legislative finance office prepared for the bill, it all made sense.
@ Iron Fist:
Another thing that annoys me is the sound effects they use. Apparently, TV directors in particular can’t abide someone drawing and aiming a pistol without there being some kind of sound effect, so they always throw in some sort of metallic click. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Glock, even. The person raises the gun, and there’s a click.
Mine don’t do that…
Seems to me that if they’re claiming the state is “intentionally” doing something, they should have to prove that “intent.”
This goes above and beyond the usual claims they make about racial discrimination. Their usual claim is “disparate impact.”
@ lobo91:
The reason I went to FSU was because they offered me the most scholarship money. Part of that scholarship was the waiving of out-of-state tuition. IIRC, monetarily that was more money that they went out of pocket to pay my full tuition. It was a very good scholarship. Paid my full tuition, books, and even left me a little spending money. I had to pay my dorm rent, but that was it. I liked Tallahassee, and if things had worked out differently I’d probably still be living in Florida. But they didn’t. If wishes were fishes, and all that.
@ lobo91:
I hope NC gets back in their face about this. People who are against Voter ID are for voter fraud. We have a voter ID law here in Tennessee, and it is really nothing if you are voting legally. This is the same kind of shit from a Party that demands a photo ID for every gun that is sold in the United States, to make sure that the State doesn’t have some reason for wanting to keep you from buying one. Gun ownership is a right. Voting is a privilege.

Everything is racist! It is getting really old!
/lobo is another thread going to go up? This one is getting so long!

I did some of that myself. Public schools don’t teach at a level that I need to challenge me. I didn’t make straight A’s, especially when I was a kid, but I also didn’t have to put forth any real effort to make B’s. When you are a kid you take the path of least resistance. I wasn’t smart enough to know that I had an opportunity to learn if I would take it. Oh, well, water under the bridge. I’d do a lot of things differently if I had it to do again, but I guess most people are that way. I really need a trial run at life before I decided how to live
