Sedition and Treason
Author: TriSec Date: 08/16/2014 11:58:59

Good Morning.

I've had this idea kicking around in my head for quite some time. Perhaps it will turn out to be a thesis; perhaps it will turn into a feeble series of rants, time will only tell.

There are many things going on around the world that impact the United States, and many more things that do not. We've got a leader, but we don't have a legislature right now. Oh, it's not because they're on "recess". It's really because they've been "on recess" since January 21, 2009.

A Shadow Over Missouri and America
Author: Will in Chicago Date: 2014-08-14 10:35:18

As I write this, the news from Ferguson, Missouri is grim. After the death of Michael Brown, a teenager getting ready to start school at a technical college, massive protests have started. While there are many peaceful protestors, there have been some violence and reports thatpolice on Wednesday night fired tear gas on a crowd of protesters.

A Dark Place

"Robin Williams has died"

Four words I never thought I would ever hear, read, or utter. I suppose that might be foolish of me to say; after all, Robin was over a decade older than me and statistically likely to pass away before I did. However, it just didn't seem possible that someone so talented, so vivacious, so beloved could die.

Light Through A Tunnel?
Author: Will in Chicago Date: 2014-08-11 10:50:42

Bullets over Broadway. Or, is that 8th Ave?
Author: velveeta jones Date: 08/10/2014 14:07:08

Here's some news you may have missed this past week.

Do you own a gun? Well, why can't blind people own a gun? It says nothing about it in the 2nd Amendment. Sez right here: anyone can carry a gun.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Some climate change scientists and environmentalists fear that we may be approaching the point of no return.
