Absolutely agree. Speed limits, like almost every other law on the books, isn't about safety, it's about increasing government power.
That said, I always obey speed limits, regardless of any concerns. I feel it is my patriotic duty to deny as much money to the government as possible, which...
It definitely snows in the mountains. Flagstaff is somewhere around 7000 ft in elevation- one of the highest cities in America. Phoenix, just a couple of hours away (unless there's snow on the highway, lol) is considerably different. Snow there is extremely rare, and highs in July and August...
This is another law that Arizona has just passed, as well. Similar to the other states. Essentially, it is a challenge to the broad interpretation of the commerce clause in the US Constitution, which is the basis for essentially ALL federal law, excepting those things specifically enumerated in...
Arizona citizens don't directly introduce legislation, either. But, they (we, I still consider myself an Arizonan at heart) have a powerful gun rights organization that has a lot of influence in the state house: AZCDL, the Arizona Citizen's Defense League.
See, I would look at these as opportunities to teach some firearms safety. If you do it in a respectful, non-condescending manner, you may very well turn a dangerous, careless gun owner into a safety-conscious one.
Ah yes, Tombstone. Here's one of my favorites from that one:
Ringo (voice shaky): "Fight's not with you, Holliday."
Doc: "I beg to differ sir. We started a game we never got to finish. Play for blood, remember?"
Ringo: "I was just funnin'."
Doc: "I wasn't."
I still don't see anything that SHOULD be illegal. Not legal to own police batons in Mass? They're STICKS, for Pete's sake. And just because something is called a "grenade" doesn't make it "explosive". Again, maybe it's illegal, but why? It's not explosive: it doesn't send shards of hot metal...
On the other hand, choosing either the Republican or the Democrat will also not change anything. Dems and Reps have been in power for over 100 years. In all that time, has anything changed, except for the worst?
A third party candidate or no vote at all are just as viable choices as either of...
Agree with the above: wrong title. What is a conservative, anyway...really? IMO, words like conservative, liberal (one of the most misused words in the English language), left, and right, are just name tags used to misguide people.
That said, Stossel is one of the only political commentators I...
