wonder about the phrase

"call a spade a spade" . . .

seems I recall that one causing some stir around here not too long ago.

spade = shovel

however some took exception to this as I recall . . .

and don't even get me started on tarbaby. the horrors.

this place is heaven for the smug, passive-aggressive type poster. I can see them now --

staring down their nose as they type their condescending, obnoxious, pretentious, sanctimonious, insulting posts, that is intended to needle another poster into
posting some flagrant violation that could offend four random jurors' sensibilites.

and then they snicker gleefully as they hit ALERT!!

It was. (directed at you, I mean)The amount of fail in that OP is awesome and yet, boring.

What I like is, how the same people say to vote a post on its own merit are now in here saying to take it in context.

the randomness continues.

which would in turn be regulated by some authority. ??

you can't pull stuff out of thin air and make it part of the constitution.

but, with that said ... then "some auhority" would be "my own authority" ...

as I am the "authority of myself" within the confines of society. I am one of society and have a right to help society determine how to govern itself.

on edit: I am a well-regulated milita of one.

you will never be free of those who carry guns, Hoyt. How could that ever happen?

Guns, for better or worse, are here to stay. Indiviuals, make up our government and our police and our military. They are us and, we are them.
