It sickens me that someone could murder that many people without being shot dead in the act by 4 or 5 bystanders. But this is the world anti-gun bigots and their legislation have worked so hard to create and perpetuate.

Worrying About The Wrong Things
My parents seem to worry a lot about “illegal immigrants“, just as FOX News tells them they should. They manage to bring this up in conversations that seem (to me) to have nothing to do with the topic.
You’ll Always Offend Someone
The Righteous and Holy Arbiters of What is Acceptable now seek to cancel Dr. Seuss. This may be my final last straw with “cancel culture.”
“Law Enforcement” Not What We Have
A couple of local sheriffs claim to be concerned that new legislation makes “law enforcement” (sic) the enemy. If so, they don’t understand the nature of legislation.
Start Getting Prepared for Emergencies
I thought the past year had taught people to be prepared and less dependent on rescue by others. It seems I was wrong.
The Wisdom of Knowing When to Keep Quiet
These days it feels like it’s hard for most people to have pleasant social interactions with others who “believe” differently.
Politics Destroys Civility
If you’re going to decry the lack of civility; the anger and division, with one breath, and then call for government violence to be used against other people with the next, I can’t take your concern seriously… but I may still take your threats seriously.
Politicians Responsible for Much Loss
It’s so nice of New Mexico’s political overlords to allow businesses to re-open a bit — until they change their minds again. We should gather in the frozen fields and sing hymns to their glory. Wearing two or three masks each, obviously. If you don’t praise the bully when he beats you slightly less, you’re ungrateful.
Statists Admit Statism is a Failure
Statism “works” for a lot of people. They do well under it and may even like it. They don’t care about their liberty or the liberty of others. Just as long as nothing changes too much and they have someone else to abdicate their responsibility to and blame when that doesn’t work.
“Black” History
When I was in seventh grade, even I would say I was racist. I had moved from a place where there were few “black” people (and where I liked the ones I knew and never gave it a second thought) to a place far away, where there were lots of them. And at school, they ganged up on me and treated me really badly. For the first time in my life, this made me actually notice them and their apparent differences, and categorize them based on that.
