The bottom line conclusion from Peter Grant and Masaad Ayoob about mob violence: DON'T BE THERE. Growing up as the runt of my class I developed a good nose for trouble and I'm gone before it starts. I worked for 38 years in a "gun free zone", a major medical center, and I used to tell my co-workers that I had a very bad attitude about that. If I'm not allowed to carry concealed, with the threat of immediate termination if I did, then as soon as I hear a "pop-pop-pop" anywhere, I will vanish without even a cartoon puff of smoke. Don't count on me for help. We are ever so relieved now to have retired to the Oregon Outback, 170 miles from the nearest interstate, and while I can empathize with those who cannot do the same, that same advice about mob violence still applies. DON'T BE THERE.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.
