Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It's worth it. It's a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else's rights, because if you don't there is no one to defend yours. - MaxedOutMama

I don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. Kim du Toit

The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them. Moshe Ben-David

Painting, Not Posting

Sorry about the lack of content. I've been painting the exterior of my house. It's been nine years since I did it last, and the Arizona sun has beaten the hell out of the last coat. I've gotten quite a bit done, but it'll take today and probably another weekend to finish up.

Ah, well.

At night I've either been reading or watching DVDs instead of writing. I strongly recommend the SciFi Channel's mini-series The Lost Room. I got it from Netflix, and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it last night. (Why oh why must SciFi, er, SyFy mass-produce crap like Mansquito when it can do quality stuff like The Lost Room?)

I'm a bit over halfway done with Thomas Sowell's Intellectuals and Society, and I just finished Eric Flint and Marilyn Kosmatka's Time Spike, part of the 1632 universe. Quite good.
