Did Meredith Viera just say "would require"...? [More]
I think she misspoke. I wonder if she's aware enough to know how interesting things would get if she didn't?

A Total Meltdown
Obscene. [More]
Guarded by weapons-of-war-bearing "Only Ones."
Committed by an economic fascist company that they won't identify.
And cheered on by bubble-headed watch...uh...lapdog "Authorized Journalists."
Just obscene.

We're the Only Ones Who Left an Innocent Man in a Coma Enough
Surveillance video doesn't answer victim's family's questions [More]Hey, he shouldn't have run.
They should have beat his ass harder.
They should have shot him.
Oh wait, wrong video.
See how he stopped and raised his hands to surrender?
No matter. I've seen updates where the department spokes"Only One" says everything was within justified procedure. So it must be OK.
Meaning it could never happen to you or me, right?
We're the Only Ones "Sexy Time!" Enough
A Los Angeles County sheriff's sergeant has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman and inappropriately touching two other women during traffic stops while on duty in Compton last year, prosecutors said Friday...Hey, if they hadn't committed traffic violations, this wouldn't have happened.
In 2006, another sheriff's deputy, Gabriel Gonzalez, was convicted of raping three women while he was on duty in the Compton area and sentenced to 30 years in prison. His victims received nearly $5.6 million in civil settlements. [More]
Next thing you know, we'll be expected to believe this isn't just a few bad apples among the fine crop of Compton "Only Ones."
They got rid of those already.
I Can Feel It Coming in the Air Tonight
But if I were an MP today, I would make it my business to learn the course and the lessons of 1381 by heart. Then I would give thanks that there are no longer any chopping blocks at Cheapside. [More]That could easily be rectified.
But what are they going to revolt with?
And would you "lend a hand"...?
A Real World Example
Iceland was a real-world example which privately produced more peace than the US has had, for longer than the US has existed...[More]The comments in this thread went a bit far afield, and are buried in a post that is days old, and therefore not likely to be read.
How does a society with no "government" protect itself from invaders? I'm given the example of tenth to thirteenth century Iceland.
My read on that: we're talking a non-technological society that most of the world at the time didn't even know about, let alone have the means or the incentive to invade. It was a homogeneous culture--the same language, tradition, religion, mores, culture, history...
Let's examine the time and conditions in which we live.
I don't expect to resolve the anarchist/libertarianist vs. Constitutionalist debate here. I just wanted to make this dialog available for readers here to engage in.
Please read the linked comment thread before engaging, and then leave comments here (I'm turning them off in the older post so that we can move the discussion here).
And please--I started out my dialog with this poster with the understanding that name-calling would not be tolerated. Let's focus on light, not heat.
Speaking of Spreading Internet Rumors...
Man, I no sooner get done urging you not to do it, and here I go. [More]
Don't think of this as a rumor (and don't call me "Chubsy-Ubsy"), think of it as an investigation. Anyone know anybody in New York who can shed some confirmation light on this? Are the cops going door-to-door with permit registration lists asking to inspect guns?
I do see a critical and fundamental mistake made by "Mr. Shotgun."
We all know what it was, right?

Spreading Gun Law Rumors Distracts from Real Threats
I don't mean to discourage Internet activism. We need electronic Paul Reveres. Just please, before galloping and screaming "Through every Middlesex village and farm, For the country folk to be up and to arm," make sure the British really are coming... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column explains how passing along unconfirmed Internet rumors doesn't help the cause and doesn't help our credibility.
Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.
Tell your friends? Using "Bcc," of course...
