Rantings and remarks on different political things. I’m not a member of any political organizations or political parties, but to make things easier in the name-calling, I’m a Libertarian.
Guns: Enough already
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen the shootings in Aurora happened, I stirred up enough trouble with an angry midnight rant and the unexpected attention that I hoped not to say anything else on the subject. But..I can’t help it. We have a shooting in … Continue reading

Gun Debates Don’t Fix People Problems
