What the hell's wrong with this country and with the Supreme Court? Do we really need more guns in the arms of an untrained populace? We shoot each other and lock each other up more than any country on earth and the Supreme Court strikes down laws limiting hand guns? That's f*ing ridiculous! When are we going to get over this Daniel Boone/John Wayne fantasy of ours?!
The New York Times said it well yesterday: "Once again, the court’s conservative majority imposed its selective reading of American history, citing the country’s violent separation from Britain and the battles over slavery as proof that the authors of the Constitution and its later amendments considered gun ownership a fundamental right. The court’s members ignored the present-day reality of Chicago, where 258 public school students were shot last school year — 32 fatally."
If ever this country needed a benevolent dictator, it's now! If anyone's asking, yes, I'm available.
On other matters, let's talk about cash. Can we please just get rid of cash?! I wasted 30 or 45 minutes Saturday night on the drive to Kennedy because a few hundred stupid motorists refuse to get an EZ Pass, thus clogging the Hutchinson Parkway as it feeds into the Whitestone Bridge. The EZ Pass lanes were a breeze, but I couldn't get to them because of all the cars backed up waiting to pay cash. What's wrong with you people? EZ Pass is free. EZ Pass saves you money. EZ Pass saves you time. Get with the program, idiots!
It's hot here. Can you tell?
Mmm...sounds like you found your voice. Nice of the Supreme Court to have you some subject material. And good to have you back!
