"When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home." - Chief Aupumut, Mohican. 1725

From the AZCDL briefing - Protection for the only ones
Whose braniac idea was it to make CCOs and SI's exempt from weapons violations? WTF? Who made them above the law?
Oh hold on - the last 3 Presidential administrations - hold a sec, 4 generations of Prez administrations (yeah, going back to Reagan) made fantastic exemptions for themselves when they knew they were committing treason a.k.a BREAKING THE LAW. So, much as shit flows downstream, so does sheer brazen idiocy, and criminality. If the guys on high can do it the shady way, why the hell not shouldn't the lower echelon of bureaucratic filth and their sponsoring stasi do the same? According to this logic, they should. In this instance, I do not tend to agree with this way of rationalization. This thing might not pass this time around, but that fact such idiocy was introduced at all is a serious statement of how far astray this system has gone. Accountability? What's that? Apparently it's only something for those who aren't within the "only one's" category.
"HB 2464, which adds Community Correctional Officers and Special Investigators to the list of law enforcement positions exempt from most weapons misconduct violations, passed in the House Public Institutions and Retirement Committee on Monday, February 18, 2008 with a 7-1-1-1-0 vote. AzCDL OPPOSES this bill because it exempts these individuals from violations regarding prohibited and defaced weapons."
Might I remind everyone of the fantastic video - where a DEA agent is earnestly trying to do a good thing... makes a big mistake, endangers lives, and manages to shoot himself in the foot.
Guess what - I do this in a class-room while teaching people about handgun safety, not only is my street-cred shot (and someone might be injured) I'm facing criminal charges because I was a negligent moron. Period. Stupid is as stupid does. Unless you are one of the "Only Ones". Who are the "Only Ones" you ask?

Damn skippy AZCDL is opposing this blathering buffoonery.

the age of the tactical spork
to my good friend - the discontentedcookie
who so eloquently reminded me of something the exploited have said for years:
for a clean sounding version (with a nice howl at the beginning) - click here
So, when the storm comes and they take our weapons, it'll be about the time to start shanking with whatever we got - even if it's only a titanium spork. I imagine it could go thru a Kevlar helmet. Next test, a riot shield!

Bring on the Amero - Vincente Fox - NAU
It would appear that politicians can dance in any language.
Bring on the NAU (North American Union)
remember - these are just plans. the NasCorridor ISN'T happening. I repeat, it ISN'T happening. Those lands being seized in Tejas aren't happening either.
on the positive side, VF actually answered questions and dealt with the ambush journalism with aplomb - so props go out to both Luke for being respectful and VF for actually taking the time to answer questions. Musn't forget, VF would very much like a 1 world government. W00t.

Why I was a failed Goth
just listened to an hour of Sisters of Mercy and christ, it's just not that inspirational. gotta wonder if I listened to this crap to get the goth/industrial chicks, or because I'm really a depressing mofo at heart.
oh yeah, a dum-dum bullet - lol - like these brits know wtf a dum-dum is.
Most of my days are spent in THIS state -
which while I guess the lyrics are a little darker - I don't see myself sitting in a dark room crying and lamenting some sad nonsense. I like to take the slightly more aggressive direct approach to address the issues.

knowing I'm not a fan of nu-metal
I found this website to be one of the coolest multi-media pages with all sorts of actions and interactive action happening throughout - the poetry is OK, but the combination of a huge page space with graphics moving across the visible and background videos and music was simply way cool. "the Unthinking Majority" was particularly poignant. Cheers to Serj Tankian!

Sure, I'll be there for less than 24hrs (approximately 19 to be precise) but I haven't been to Baaaston in like, 11 years, so even if it's for a minute, I'm looking forward to stopping in at Logan Intl and keeping it real for a couple of minutes.
Ok, back to playing with firearms. I mean, working heavily on my deliverable.

Wow.

Metal and Wood
an excerpt by Dennis Bateman
on www.thefiringline.com
Our Forefathers decided to make America different from any country, anywhere, at any time in the entire history of the entire world. This country, this new nation of immigrants, would be based upon the concept that people could rule themselves better than any single person or small group of persons could rule them.
Other countries have had outstanding documents with guarantees for its citizens - but the citizens have become enslaved. How, these great men pondered, can we ensure this new government will remain subject to the will of the People?
They wanted limits upon this new government. Therefore, our forefathers wrote limitations into the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And one of those Rights was that metal and wood, as the final power of the people, would secure this country for the future generations.
Metal and wood were the means by which we won our freedom.
Metal and wood were the means by which we kept our freedom.
Metal and wood may be the means by which we regain our freedom.
Metal and wood are the final power of the people. Take away the metal and wood and the people become powerless - they can only beg, they supplicate for favors.
We are unique in our ability to rule ourselves but we are letting it slip away. Today we compromise. We try to appease man’s insatiable appetite for power by throwing him bits of our freedoms. But the insatiable appetite for power can not be appeased. The freedoms we feed him only make us weaker and him stronger. We must conquer him and again ensure the “Blessings of Liberty” won for us by our forefathers.
We must be ready to use metal and wood again, for if we are ready, truly ready, we may be able to conquer the monster with words - for in its heart it is a coward. But if we continue to feed the monster our freedoms, we will become too weak to win, to weak even to fight, and we will become a conquered people. We will have sold ourselves and our future generations into servitude.
If words fail us, we will use metal and wood, we will regain what we have lost, we will achieve what we seek, we will guarantee the America of our forefathers for the future generations.
So you see, our guns are more than metal and wood. They are our heritage of freedom. They are the universally understood symbol that the government, no matter how big and strong it may be, answers to us! They are the tools we will use to prevent tyranny in the land of our forefathers and our children. So, ask me what my guns mean to me. Ask my children what our guns mean to them. Ask us. I dare you.

Latest Stats on Primary Race in AZ
Republican Votes Percent
MCCAIN, JOHN 189,582 47%
ROMNEY, MITT 134,486 34%
HUCKABEE, MIKE 35,658 9%
PAUL, RON 17,217 4%
GIULIANI, RUDY 11,923 3%
The MCCAIN thing is somewhat predictable - and I suppose it should be good that RP is coming in fourth. The one positive thing I can say about the whole experience today - other than the "discussion" I had with the voting staff leader about the Diebold e-voting machine - is that I wasn't the only one talking about how the e-vote systems were compromised...nice not to be the only "crazy" one around.
Also, as side-note, I heard much talking both young and old - about how ppl were starting to wake up that the government hasn't been looking out for them and it was a time for a change.
It would appear that change is indeed on the horizon, the question is whether it productive or bloody and destructive.
