  2nd amendment right ... where should it end?

  by Simon in

  one thing i like to do to test a theory is to take things to extremes or to their logical conclusion to see if the premises still hold.

  very often, a claim that seems to make sense at a superficial level falls apart when you start to stretch it a little.. so let's play a game.. suppose the 2nd amendment is valid, that some "well regulated militia" really is necessary to hold the government to account.. obviously when this was drafted the government had access to the weapons of it's day which would be muskets!

  so muskets all round.

  Why not simply rephrase the Second Amendment to: "All citizens shall have the right to own and bear arms." Period.

  JW related collective nouns

  english is a great language, especially when it comes to collective nouns.

  a "murder" of crows is just fantastic as is a "mob" of meerkats.

  a "colony" of ants, a "pride" of lions.

  i saw a 'news' article today about pizza hut (i think) delivering pizzas via a robotic vehicle in nz.

  also another article headline saying it is not a question of if, but when.

  my immediate thought was, why?

  As far as automated cars are concerned they will go into the same place as flying cars did when they were fantasized about 80 years ago.

  Don't forget fast food workers.

  The people who come out with these moronic ideas just want to save money for their corporations. The problem is that the more people there are who cannot afford their trash the less money they will make. That applies to the unemployed and even the employed minimum wage workers.

  Just bring a dozen famished homeless persons to the Memorial and watch how quickly the Matzos and wine disappear.

  None of the options for helping was to help their brothers, it ALL came back to sending money to Brooklyn bethel.

  There is a disproportionate number of youths that are disfellowshipped compared to adults. We were told that the reason for that was that they were more sexually active and inexperienced in hiding it.
