Gun Control

Just wanted to share this great post on gun control over at the RedNeckGoon blog on November 13 (I’m a little late–sorry).

Can Politicians Be Patriots?

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Something’s been bothering me.
Last night, for no reason, I remembered a high school speech class.  We were learning how to debate; I was asked a question and, rather than giving a straightforward answer, I gave another question in return.  Later my teacher pointed that out as the perfect response for a politician…I didn’t know it [...]

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Hurray for Grizzly Groundswell!  I’m glad Chad asked me to post here.  Although I never paid much attention to politics and government before, this past year I discovered I have strong feelings concerning some of the things going on around us.  Grizzly Groundswell will be a great outlet for these feelings.
I’ve never chosen any particular political party but I seem [...]
