The Gipper on Government Tinkering
Monday, September 24th, 2007“Our problems are both acute and chronic, yet all we hear from those in positions of leadership are the same tired proposals for more government tinkering, more meddling and more control—all of which led us to this state in the first place… We must have the clarity of vision to see the difference between what [...]
The Power to Meddle
Monday, September 24th, 2007“The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivalry of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is [...]

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007After the VTX tech session today in Darlington we conducted on a tour of the Ropkey Armor Museum by Mr. Ropkey. What an awesome collection.
Northwest Passage
Thursday, September 20th, 2007Now that the Northwest Passage is open they’re blaming it on global warming?

Motorcycle Crash Statistics
Thursday, September 13th, 2007With all the bravo sierra nanny stuff going around I found the post on Motorcycle Crash Statistics rather interesting. 72 percent of fatalties(sic) in [motorcycle] operator age group 40-49 involved alcohol. It is typical to blame the motorcycle for the accident just as it is typical to blame a firearm for the actions of a [...]
First They Came for the Smokers
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007I can’t help but, in light of recent pushes by the Nanny State do-gooders, paraphrase Pastor Martin Niemöller’s famous poem: First they came for the Smokers and I did not speak out because I was not a Smoker. Then they came for the Fatties and I did not speak out because I was not a [...]
