  1. Another gun-control law in New York: Safe storage in the home may be required

    This was discussed on local radio recently. They said that if cops come into the home on unrelated matters, they can cite you for this violation on top of any other charges, if they see a gun not locked away. Does this mean you can't have you guns out, ready for cleaning or a day at the range?

  2. I only became aware of the scale of drug problems in the region through my time teaching. The stories I heard from my students about the goings-on in their High Schools and local towns were terrifying. It seems nowhere is untouched now. We have serious cultural problems in our country. How did it become OK that drugs are no big deal, and how do we turn this deadly tide? I am at a loss.

    And sorry for your loss too Swamp Bucks. I keep hearing stories like this far too often now.

    Eh, I can't stand the naïve, misguided woman, but that's not exactly what she said.

    She did not say that having kids was bad for the climate, she questioned whether people want or should bring children into a world that had difficulties with climate change.

    Accuracy counts.

    Sounds like 6 of one and half dozen the other. There has been a long campaign to coerce Euros to not have children. The Guardian News paper in the UK is one of the more obvious proponents . Whenever they have an article about how tiring,expensive and generally unpleasant having kids is, they always use pics of white people:

    After my hospital stays in emergency last August and September , I wasn't able to draw my bow set at 60# so archery season was a no go for me . In the past few months I have been working with stretch bands trying to get my strength back . I started to consider lowering the poundage but thought I would try something else first . I put on my release and tried drawing the bow with an arrow . Voila ! I could and shot a dozen arrows at my basement target . Didn't want to push it . I plan to try to shoot a few times a week just to shoot and not worry about accuracy . Need to get the 77 year old muscles back in shape . 

    You can also start adding hydrolyzed protein (amino acids) to coffee and cooked meals also to help healing. I use Great Lakes Gelatin myself. It has no flavor itself. Regular veg juicing is also useful for healing and pain

  5. Not many people realize that about 40% of the RC's income in the US is federal funding, mostly tied up with immigration services for 'refugees' etc. Sad to say, but the RC is really a government agency these days, and very much tied up with the Democrats. A sorry state of affairs. The RC has, for now, abandoned its mission in favor of social work.

    This is an excellent discussion:

    the Catholic church embrace many of the same values like welfare, leniency for violent criminals as victims, gun control and inefficient and wasteful social programs.

    None of which are actual Church teaching to be fair. Right now there is tyranny of opinion over actual positions long held by the Church. It will change some day for the better, but things will probably get worse first.

    The Church's economic policies are actually in favor of subsidiarity (local responsibility vs statist control ).Read the encyclical Rerum Novarum (Rights and Duties of Capital and Labor) for the official view. 

    Quote

    In an important 1991 encyclical on social doctrine entitled Centesimus Annus, Pope John Paul II directed sharp criticism at the Welfare State, particularly at many governmental excesses and abuses that developed alongside it. He noted that the Welfare State produced many negative outcomes as the result of "an inadequate understanding of tasks proper to the state."1' Key among these harmful effects was a reduced sense of social solidarity—an undermining of the societal responsibility which citizens should have for one another. Pope John Paul II demonstrates that the failings of the Social Assistance State are the result of the disrespect of a key moral tenet of Catholic social doctrine, namely, the principle of subsidiarity.

    Well if anything goes in a society, it won't be long before anything of value in that society, anything worthy of preserving, anything virtuous, righteous, morally correct, ethical, upright, upstanding, high-minded, right-minded, right-thinking, principled, exemplary, law-abiding, irreproachable, blameless, guiltless, unimpeachable, just, honest, honorable, unbribable, or incorruptible, is gone.

    We have pretty much arrived here at this point. The culture is vapid and narcissistic. Most people have no concept of their history and the beauty of Western thought, art and literature. Any mention of God is merely lip service to a vapid and empty patriotism for the most part. Schools no longer teach, but indoctrinate.
