Look at the Truth in Voting The absolute truth is that a whole lot less than the whole population votes. Those of us that do exercise our choice to get off our fat butts and vote, in fact have our vote count for a majority way beyond the one man, one vote ideal. What saddens me is that there...

War Story My dad was in the Navy in WWII. He repaired airplanes at Barber's Point, Hawaii. When he would get to telling stories about his duties there he would get a tear in the corner of his eye. When I got an R&R during Vietnam, I met my wife there. We went out to Barber's point on a trip...

You Really Do Know Pax, You really do know how to help your wife understand your desire to own and shoot guns. I basically do not do any of the things you use as examples in the site. My wife is a liberal, non gun using teacher. I never shoot my guns when she is about. I clean them and...

Pawn Shops are a Business I have a Brother-in-Law that goes to many different Pawn Shops each week. He looks at the merchandise and often makes offers that are rejected outright. He sometimes finds bargains but that is rare. He thinks the Pawn Shop owners are foolish to hold on to things and...

Not Enough People Vote When the minority of the people get to elect people for office we wind up with the fringe of the parties. If our voter "turn-out" continues to not draw out the majority of the voters, the majority of the minority will get to select/elect our leaders. I once had a...
