The Smallest Minority: OK, So, I Lied

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

OK, So, I Lied

OK, So, I Lied

I said a couple of days ago that "normal blogging would resume" shortly.

OOPS!

I took the rest of this week off, and figured I'd use the time to write and reload. WRONG! Instead, I've been reading and vegetating - plugged Serenity into the DVD player Thursday and thoroughly enjoyed it for the n^th time, finished reading S.M. Stirling's In the Courts of the Crimson Kings yesterday, then went to the book store and picked up some more books, saw Wolverine yesterday afternoon, then blasted through John Scalzi's Zoë's Tale last night (first time I've done a non-stop cover-to-cover read in quite a while).

I've got stuff I want to write about. (Specifically, I want to finish my final reply to James Kelly, but I'm having problems working up the enthusiasm to actually do it. Sorry.)

I guess you could say I'm enjoying my vacation.

And now I'm getting ready to go to the gun show downtown to see if I can find any of that elusive prey known as primers. Wish me luck.
