Really good questions re: 2nd Amendment

[From a mailing list of friends that I’m on. Point three has occured to me numerous times… really, given the unsurpassed lethality of modern professional infantry, what chance would your average citizen gun-owner have of organizing and participating in an effective armed resistance? If you look at Iraq and other areas, actual gunbattles appear to […]

More lunancies from Iraq

The news from Iraq gets ever more bizarre… and while nothing matches the Chalabi/Iran connection, the following two items demonstrate the Bizarro mirror-world nature of events in Iraq.
If the fact that the U.S. Government is paying $1.50/gallon for gas in neighboring countries (which not incidentally keeps a fleet of 4,200! tank trucks constantly on the […]

Class warfare?

Paul Krugman: “The other day I found myself reading a leftist rag that made outrageous claims about America. It said that we are becoming a society in which the poor tend to stay poor, no matter how hard they work; in which sons are much more likely to inherit the socioeconomic status of their father than they were a generation ago.”

Republican “free market” philosophy doesn’t extend to Medigap insurance for drug coverage.

Republicans always say that “the free market” will provide… that people should have choices… but when it comes to being able to freely enter into contracts and pay money for Medigap drug policy coverage, they say, “No way, Jose.” Hypocrisy.

Daimler-Chrysler half-time SuperBowl promo insults and degrades female atheletes!

I am writing you today because of the half-time, pay-per-view
“entertainment” your company is planning to promote during the SuperBowl
(described at http://www.nypost.com/business/12307.htm).
I understand the target market for your Dodge trucks is male, and that
attracting men’s attention is essential to the success of your business.

But, do you have to do that by staging a ridiculous parody that is insulting
and degrading to women and especially female athletes? Why not highlight
and feature the efforts of female professional football atheletes instead?

Glad I’m basically healthy…

The civil rights act for people with developmental disabilities is being
proposed for virtual elimination (the suspension is likely to be permanent).
Massive cuts and program eliminations to other services for people with
disabilities and seniors are on the table! THIS call to action is for ALL
people with developmental and other disabilities including people with brain
injuries; their families, seniors, direct care and other workers, statewide
associations, regional centers, community based providers and organizations,
senior organizations independent living centers, advocacy groups, friends
and neighbors. Don’t wait to be formally invited - you are! Everyone is
needed - this is about our rights, and about the promise. This is the time
to set aside time, set aside differences, get in the car, jump on the train,
get on the bus or hop on the plane and FIGHT for the promise!
