So, we can start packing, as long as its not concealed? We are all engines of karma

My brief glance through the decision didn't seem to confirm right to carry (i.e., lug the thing around you at the mall). We are all engines of karma

Thanks for the links. They look interesting. Give me some time to read them. We are all engines of karma

It'll be the weekend before I can really sit down with this. I am quite pleased right now. The county I live in makes it very difficult to get a handgun, plus you're not allowed to defend you're home with it. If you did defend you're home, the cops might get nasty, and you'd be open to civil litigation. We are all engines of karma

The specifically upheld one ability to protect your home, and to have the gun in the house without gun locks, if I'm reading this correctly. My county doesn't allow that. Guess that's going to change. We are all engines of karma

LOL! Thanks, I needed that this morning. We are all engines of karma

Restricted scope, or broad terms? We are all engines of karma

Isn't that self evident? When one culture tries to eliminate another culture, especially through repeated violent attempts. When that same culture teaches their children to hate and kill, for no other reason than the other culture is different from their own. While I support our armed services, I don't recall ever having supported Bush's decision to invade Iraq. At the time, I remember being very uneasy with his decision. It's the funding of people dedicated to our physical destruction that we shouldn't get over. So what if the economic pendulum is swinging. There are alot of very smart, very hard working people in the world who have earned that. Good for them. America has proven itself capable of competing at that level. Thanks for the correction. Agreed. We are all engines of karma

Kill the money funding this activity. And do so without remorse. That's where I think we should be right now. Let's keep this in simple terms, because it is time to do so. We are in a culture clash with Islam. Are all Muslims bad? Absolutely not. Can the leaders of this so called "religion-of-peace" play well with others? Demonstrably not. Once the money funding them is dead, worst case scenario we give them all TVs and show them Baywatch. They'll grow to love us. These are well placed priorities, and I agree with all of them. But, the world is not full of people who can rationalize such things. There is evil out there, and lots of it. And, unfortunately, there's not enough people willing to say that. It's time to call this exactly what it is... a culture clash. You can't effectively solve a problem until you properly define it. Am I a "war monger"? Absolutely not. Never killed a person in my life, and I hope to never have to. Hell, I've only beaten up two people in almost 50 years on this planet. But, there does come a time when might does make right. And I think we're at just such a point in the history of this planet. I hope its the USA that gets to write the history on this one. We are the good guys. While not perfect, we are the good guys.

Some things are simply self evident. Why continue to repeat self evident things? Our views are very different. At this point in time, especially tonight, let's just agree to disagree. We are all engines of karma

Yep. We are all engines of karma

Lots of RINOs these days. And I think there have been some serious abuses (beginning with Gingrich), with which Republicans are going to be shackled for some period of time. We are all engines of karma

The cost of the transistion can't break us. That's a practical boundary limit in this problem, IMO. We are all engines of karma

IMO, you were simply trying to make a sweeping play via semantics. The US is not a terrorist country, nor or we imperalists. Based upon your previous posts, I'd expect you would disagree with that statement. Why go there? And, I did answer your question, clearly. We are all engines of karma

Really! A firm decision pro 2nd would be a great day, IMO. We are all engines of karma

I believe you. I also am starting to think you're one of those people that think the world is full of rational people who can discuss their way out of any and all conflicts. I answered you're question. The world needs a clear winner. Badly. We are all engines of karma

Isn't that an oxymoron? We are all engines of karma

No argument there. I absolutely do not think the govt should force this transistion via some ridiculous tax scheme, e.g., carbon rationing. But, then again, I'm a "less govt is better" type of person, and I do not have any developed thoughts how to facilitate this much needed transistion in our economy. More nuclear - absolutely, more alternative (e.g., soloar) - yes, more use of our existing resources - yes. We are all engines of karma

I did. We are all engines of karma

I lived in San Francisco for 3 years. That's my favorite city. Lived in Edinburgh for 2 years. Nice people, loved the single malts, weather sucked. London is ok, if you can take the weather. Dublin was nice, Guiness is the best there. The train ride from Lyon, France to Gap was literally breath takingly beautiful. We are all engines of karma

I'm expecting something very limited in scope. We are all engines of karma

I really don't understand your response here. Obama is very good at going with the flow, then eloquently stating something to that effect. We are all engines of karma

You swing enough times, you're bound to get a hit. We are all engines of karma
