Beyond rights I care about the most, you have the right to do things that don’t interest me at all, or things I don’t like. As long as “it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg,” as Thomas Jefferson said — nor the pockets or legs of anyone else — I support your right to live as you wish. I don’t care who it offends; there is no right to not be offended.

We Are More Likely to Remember a Football Score
If you need proof that the American people are brainwashed, I had to be reminded by a click-bait news source, that I sailed past the 50th anniversary last year under the buzz of Covid-19. But May 4, 2021 will see the 51st passage of the mark of the Kent State Massacre on our calendars — an invisible mark in most cases.
A Debt You Don’t Owe
Don’t be guilted into taking on a debt that isn’t yours. You owe what you owe, and not a bit more.

A few weeks ago YouTube suggested that I watch a 1988 episode of William F.

Buckley flashed his trademark impish smile while his guest remained silent looking bemused.
Becoming Trustable
It’s really a magical thing, when people start trusting you. When your wife and kids trust you, it can melt your heart. They can relax, and feel taken care of. When your clients trust you, you can go deeper with them. When you trust yourself, you can relax more in any activity.
Ol’ Joe Bad’un’s “Executive Actions” against Gun Owners
Domestic enemy and anti-gun bigot criminal Joe Biden (probably under the control of his emotional support pig*) has announced “executive actions” on guns.
Rebel, but Make It Responsible
Did the past year signal the end of liberty, or just put a few more nails in its coffin? Is liberty under a greater threat these days or is it only a matter of perception?
