Gun Control and Ted Nugent

On Tuesday a man in England strolled around and killed a bunch of people. I don't know how many, you can look it up if you're interested in the gritty detail.

I'm more interested in the fact that England has laws that kept these people from having guns to protect themselves with. A government that does that obviously is frightened of the citizen, and most likely.... especially based on some of the British government's latest moves... deservedly so.

But I digress. Here's what Ted Nugent said a while back.

On catching trolls

Mrs B has a cuz with an autisitic teen kid. Not profoundly so, just kinda out there and prone to fantasy.

Teen calls mom....

"I just captured a troll!"

Mom sez...

"That's nice Honey. I'll see him when I get home."

Mom comes home......hears all manner of thumping and banging coming from her hall closet. Opens the door....out pops a midget Census Taker.....madder'n hell and screaming bloody murder.....

True story.......

Oil and the liesure class - Commentator's Comment Award

It's been a while since we have had a "Commentator's Comment Award." Not that there haven't been thousands that meet my strict standards, but that I have been slothful and lazy. That end's this morning with this jewel of a comment.

The subject was the oil leak in the Gulf and the use of oil by society. The venue is
Talk Left.

Read the comment several times. It will get better each time.

are very adept at getting around outside of NYC. I would say that we can be very resourceful.

Interesting (for me anyway) development on the buses in NoCal since I last lived here, bus racks on the front of buses. And they are used :) Rapid transit cars also are all equipped for bikes, and they are also used. Yesterday, 3 bikers sitting next to me. None looked like a "biker" either. One was a pre-teen getting around. The key to good public transit is making it all work together. I can get anywhere throughout NoCal all on my own. And do. Everything hooks up and is scheduled together. Took just a bit of research up front.

Reducing a dependency on oil is fairly easy if you're willing to look around a bit and be not so creative. It's really more relaxing also, imo. And I'm not talking just transportation :) And just so you know, I haven't lived in a "concrete tower" in my life. I'm partial to Victorians ;)
