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

The cult of the left believes that it is engaged in a great apocalyptic battle with corporations and industrialists for the ownership of the unthinking masses. Its acolytes see themselves as the individuals who have been "liberated" to think for themselves. They make choices. You however are just a member of the unthinking masses. You are not really a person, but only respond to the agendas of your corporate overlords. If you eat too much, it's because corporations make you eat. If you kill, it's because corporations encourage you to buy guns. You are not an individual. You are a social problem. -- Sultan Knish

All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war. -- Billy Beck

What, You Thought I was Kidding?

Well, I'm back, finally. We'll see how long this time. I just spent the last five days on an overhead travelling crane control retrofit that didn't go as well as I would have liked. We were supposed to be finished Friday afternoon.

There's an engineering joke - "If it ain't broke, keep 'improving' it until it is." It seems that one of our vendors made some firmware changes in their product, and now it doesn't work the same way the (otherwise) identical units made last year do. Not good, since they changed functions I needed and used.

Anyway, I'm home, and barring any catastrophe, perhaps I can get back to posting again. Thanks to all of you who kept my stats up this week, but I did tell you I'd be gone! (I wasn't about to try posting something from the computer in the lobby of the EconoLodge, even if I could get some seat time in front of it. Besides, 12-hour workdays suck, and I didn't have the energy anyway.)
