Random Thoughts
Have you ever noticed the vibrant colors and crisp sounds after a thunderstorm?
Why is it that two twentysomethings don't know and much as one fortysomething?
If we know the speed of light, then why hasn't the speed of dark been calculated?
Why are Yellow Freight trucks painted orange?
Why is it when a woman is caught unawares naked she always covers her eyes and breasts first?
Which smells better ... fresh cut grass or fresh turned earth?
Which really did come first ... the chicken or the egg?
Why is space so big?
Why do they call it "choking the chicken"?

The Upper Crust
The upper crust are those high society people we read about. The get their label from the ancient etiquette rule that granted the flavored top crust of a loaf of bread to the king or senior-ranked person at the table.
Top crust bah, I want the whole loaf!
Top crust bah, I want the whole loaf!
Gun Nuts
Why is it that those who do not understand the law are forever screaming about 'their rights'?
Case in point ... those who rant and rave about their right to own any gun they want because the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution says so.
It doesn't, but that fact seems to elude their cognitive awareness .
Last evening on another forum there was a raging tirade all evening long from the 'gun nuts' who completely missed the point time and again and disrupted the discussion being held by those that actually do know what the 2nd Amendment says and means ... and who had quite a humorous exchange going to boot.
They howled that "we were trying to take their guns away from them". That was not the discussion, but as I have thought on it, maybe those howling such drivel should have no access to firearms as their ravings indicate a serious lack of reasoning ... and as the Constitution requires regulation of "arms" it would behoove us to remove the possibility of those ranters to be able to use something that is and can be very harmful when their demonstrated lack of discernment has already proven their inability to use them.
Part of the non-ranting discussion was about forming a national education and training organization in the use of firearms (something the NRA was originally formed for and was, that is until it became the Cult it is now). This is a good idea. How to get it started is the biggest hurdle and to insure it doesn't morph into a cult like the NRA has.
So to all you gun nuts out there, the more you howl about 'your rights' which don't exist except in your fevered imaginations, the more you push reasonable people to consider to further regulate firearms to the point of you being unable to own one. Because those that cannot reason are barred from gun ownership now and all it would take is for you to be declared unfit due to lack of reasoning ability (read: mentally disturbed), and your ' imagined right' as well as your privilege of firearms ownership will vanish right before your eyes.
