Don't Let The Door Hit You In The Ass

This is my resignation letter as the "face" of the American anti-war movement. This is not my "Checkers" moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources.

Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.

Why do I have trouble believing this?

The whole letter is here.

Honoring the memory of those who made the greatest sacrifice.

Sunday Ugly Gun Post

What happens when you pair up a Model 1917 action with a stock that looks like a piece of mesquite covered in gloss polyurethane?

This:






Apparently the 'smith who made this has a thing for barrel porting too. Reminds me of my SVT. There's nothing like a series of big vertical cuts in a sporting rifle barrel to add elegance:

Illinois' Loss Is Iowa's Gain.

Les Baer is moving to Iowa,thanks to the Illinois legislature's continued efforts to make criminals safer. If they're up and running this fall like they hope, I see a weekend motorcycle trip to LeClaire coming up. I'd have to do some serious scrimping to buy one of their guns, but I bet it would be worth every penny.

When Natural Selection Is Suspended

Living in the Midwest, I'm not often exposed to what happens when huge numbers of people live in large concentrations in relatively small areas. Things like a convergence of irrational, emotionally/mentally unstable, pampered professional whiners for various political causes. This seems to be a problem peculiar to advanced western nations. I think the root cause is too much success. When there is virtually guaranteed food, shelter, clothing, and security, far beyond basic living requirements, people begin looking for a deeper meaning in life. This seems to range from the extreme's of devoting one's life to religion on one side, ranging to the opposite extreme of devoting one's life to debauchery. In these people's case, it seems to be devoting their lives to paranoia and hate.

Thanks to Ace Of Spades HQ, I've been introduced to the Zombietime weblog, who seems to specialize in photographing political events (NSFW or those who have just eaten)in San Francisco. Which has reinforced my belief that I will never, ever voluntarily enter that city. A quick irony note: I'm reasonable certain the people demonstrating against Israel/zionism would be among the first imprisoned/tortured/stoned/beheaded by the people they're supporting. I've yet to see any mass diversity, gay pride, or nudist demonstrations in muslim nations.
