OPEN CARRY (letter to editor)

Open Carry
The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States says:
"A well regulated MILITIA, being necessary to the security of a free STATE, the right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
For those of you that don't understand classic English, I have capitalized words and phrases to help you.
When our Country was founded and the Constituion was adopted, there were representatives from the States that were worried that too much power would be given to the central government. They wanted the right to form their owh army to defend themselves from an agressive and powerful Washington should that become necessary.
The "open carry" folks are NOT a militia as permitted by the Constitution. They are individuals that wish to show off their guns.

Obituary for Gadhafi

Ozymandias
By Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792–1822 Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

This fool wants to impose a national sales tax. How stupid. Anyone with any sense of economic logic knows that the sales tax is highly regressive. In other words, it hurts the poor very directly. This tax would be in addition to the existing local sales taxes. It would add to the cost of essential goods. It;s easy to see a sales tax as high as 15% and maybe as high as 20%, Or worse,
Of course it would be unconstitutional, but I would like to impose some sort of IQ test on those who want to run for high office.

My Ride Chronicle Sunday the 16th

Re. the Ducati in "My Ride". Sunday the 16th. WOW! It brought back memories of long ago.
In 1954 I was in the Air Force and stationed in Japan. I owned a Japanese bike, a Mizuho 250cc twin. My buddy owned a 125cc Ducati, a REALLY cool bike! My bike with double the displacement of the Ducati could not keep up. The Ducati with a rider heavier than I would run away from me, laughing all the way!
It was a great time, never to be forgotten.

MONKEY SEE----------------

Why is the Republican party so enamoured with Cain for President? May I be allowed to be rude and suggest that is is a case of "monkey see, monkey do?"

As an old saying goes, "they are up shit creek in an iron canoe without a paddle" and are desparate to the point of inanity.

I expect that if the Repubbys nominate Cain, the "Abel" Democrats will rise up and "slay" him.

Will it come to pass?

It says in the Bible:

"And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him."


Can we apply this to modern times and the Republican primary? Will Cain slay Rommney?

This is what the "Christians" of the far right devoutly wish for. Rommney of the "unchristian" Morman Church is an anathma to the "devout" Republican holier-than-thous who hope to take over the country, change the Constitution and create a holiocracy. Damn them and all they stand for.
