Re: Socialism
I am swamped with a studio project this weekend so the volumes I want to write in light of the recent postings on this thread will have to remain in brain. But Betsy is right, socialism has the capacity to be very broad and many principles associated with it are good principles. Using Ian's definiti...

My uncle (not George) used to keep a Russian assault rifle, loaded and ready to shoot with its 40 round magazine under a guest bed at my grandmas house. Like any lit...

Re: Gun Control
I'd fight a guy with a lead pipe. And if I had a couple of friends we could take him down. But a guy with an assault rifle? Not so much. Edward, does closing loopholes, or banning assault rifles make law making more important than education?
