My gun control acid test is simple: take the text of any gun control law or proposed legislation, replace the word “firearm” with “book” and tell me if you still think it’s a good law. The Second Amendment should be no more subject to individual state regulation than the First Amendment. – Paul L.

When is a Lab Rat not a Lab Rat.   Seems to be a comman moniker. :)

In preparation for the Baby Shower this afternoon – Knowledge Is Power

There they gather — dependent on Other People’s resources — and their demand is that Other People use Other People’s resources to change Teh System to their specifications as they demonstrate that they cannot adequately run a camp-out.

Dear Occupy Wall Street ... - daveramsey.com

When you scream, “I’m in the 99%!” you just look like a whiner. Those of us willing to pay the price to win look at you and shrug. Heck, when it comes to the music business, I’m in the 99% myself! But that doesn’t mean I have to tear Toby Keith, Brad Paisley or even Kanye down. Oh, and a special note just for Kanye: Capitalism has been pretty good to you. I celebrate your success, but you look a little hypocritical protesting capitalism while wearing a $50,000 watch.

Occupy Wall Street

Based on some of the rehtoric I'm hearing from the protesters I may want to stock up on ammuntion.

Tax the rich? Tax corporations? Tax anyone that makes too much money?

At what point are you making too much money? Should a kid mowing lawns to make money during the summer be taxed extra? It's not like he's going to spend ALL the money on something he needs. Should you give all the money above what what you "need" to the government to be given to someone else that needs it? Even if they don't bother to work as hard as you.

Yes there are some that can't work. But at what point did that become the governments problem? I'm happy to help someone in need, but not at the point of a gun. And make no mistake, taxes are taken at the point of a gun. Try not paying them sometime.

 

Update:  After looking this post over I wanted to delete it.  But I'm told that deleting a post is consider rather gauche in the blogosphere.  So I just want to say that I had a point when I started writing it but seem to have rambled more than anything.
