So they can understand America better and love her more. Paraphrasing Mencken: 'In America, it's pretty well impossible to heave an egg out of your car window and not hit a gun owner'. |

You should note that Mecken was in fact quite PRO gun ownership. He was complaionig about about harrassmnet by the government do gooders. The full quote is below. Mencken was a genius and ahead of his time. Note the date. ================================================= "The new law that is advocated, indeed, is one of the most absurd specimens of jackass legislation ever heard of, even in this paradise of legislative donkeyism. Its single and sole effect would be to exaggerate enormously all of the evils it proposes to put down. It would not take pistols out of the hands of rogues and fools; it would simply take them out of the hands of honest men. "Here I do not indulge in theory. The hard facts are publicly on display in New York State, where a law of exactly the same tenor is already on the books the so-called Sullivan Law. In order to get it there, of course, the Second Amendment had to be severely strained, but the uplifters advocated the straining unanimously, and to the tune of loud hosannas, and the courts, as usual, were willing to sign on the dotted line. It is now a dreadful felony in New York to "have or possess" a pistol. Even if one keeps it locked in a bureau drawer at home, one may be sent to the hoosegow for ten years. "With what result? With the general result that New York is the heaven of footpads, hijackers, gunmen and all other such armed thugs. Their hands upon their pistols, they know they are safe. Not one citizen out of a hundred that they tackle is armed. For getting a license to keep a revolver is a difficult business, and carrying one without it is more dangerous than submitting to robbery." H.L. Mencken, Baltimore Evening Sun, 1925 ================================================== ===== |

In today's world it may well be re-phrased as: USA Selling it's Birthright to Halliburton for a Bowl of Oil Where oh where do you come up with this ****? Good question. Let's see... a) bowl of soup didn't sound right. I remembered 'porridge' b) The previous poster noted that somtimes people can be bought too cheaply. c) The original biblical phrase came to mind. d) I typed in the phrase. e) I noticed Esau was potentially a very badly misspelled USA. f) Instantly, I had a vision of EVIL, in all it's swirling, sulphurous, Ashcroftian, demonic horror. I was mesmerized by the stench of unrefined oil. g) After that, the trembling slowly subsided. I wiped the fear induced perspiration from my brow, changed my soiled underwear and then, the rest of the composition fell naturally into place. h) I pressed the 'Send' button just before the jack booted Cheneyians kicked my door in. It's a good thing I have all those seventies vintage boat anchor receivers piled all over the place. The bumbling robos tipped one over and were subdued by the weight. I will wait for the elections in November to be over before releasing my unwilling and prostrate house guests. By that trime they will have forgotten why they're here. They claim they can take the discomfort, but all the cats in heat here keep vigorously backing into their mustachioed dogfaces. Being a poor country limits our ability to abuse the helpless. With a larger GNP, I'd be able to use MUCH larger mammals in heat. That should be a suffient outline, but I can't guarantee one hundred percent completeness. mike |

TLF, More people will Listen to a Man with a "Gun in his Hands" then a Man with 'empty hands'. Many people will Listen to a Man with a "Cash in his Hands" then a Man with 'empty hands'. The Rich and Powerful Man can Buy the Men with the Guns. Therefore the Average Citizen needs a Gun to give him Equal Standing with the Rich and Powerful. For when a group of Average Citizens come together in Common Defense; they are more powerful then all the Rich and Powerful and their Hired Guns.

Then 'she' trashed their sleeping quarters... Doing a string search on a Gutenberg project Bible file, comes up with "A pottage of lentiles". Pottage is best described as bean stew as it's a lot thicker than soup. Lentils are those little flat flying saucer shaped peas. The old world before Columnbus didn't have what we call beans, but they did have Fava beans, chick peas/garbanzos, peas and lentils. And something else called pluses which contain a neurotoxin and were outlawed, except that they're still grown and used as food in poor parts of India, where the rich landlords can get away with feeding the peasants poisoned food. (Sorry, just a diversion. My killfile left me with only 92 postings out of 359). Mark Zenier |
