Re: A Clear Picture of Experience

No. Experience doesn't matter.
You should know as well as anybody that its not what you know, its who you know. (and in some cases, who you blow)

As an IT guy performing on site work for a plethora of companies, you of all people should have first hand knowledge of this fact. How many networks have you come into, only to leave saying "What the hell was that guy thinking!" These corporate execs are hiring IT guys because they knew them in high school, or played golf with them, or they are the brother of their wifes sister's cousin and needs a job; and it just so happens that he knows how to send emails therefore he must be an IT guy.

Experience? None required. At least not near enough.

One of my principles in life has always been to "think for myself and question authority."
Authority could be anything, from government down to my teachers and college professors.
This attitude has really helped me formulate my own opinions and separate fact from fiction.
Your blog often times really lets me do just that.
Keep up the good work!

LOL! (sorry about this but my mind is in the gutter now)
I just glanced down at changeforge's post and thought he said masturbation instead of maturation.
HA! HA!

"I'll defend my liberty and happiness with firearms."

You forgot to mention attack dogs, claymores, and hand grenades.

I agree. I'm a huge proponent of my second amendment rights to keep and bear arms. I am also a proponent of concealed carry rights. I believe that two things are going to happen if the government decides to disarm America and its law abiding citizens.

1) We gun owners move to the mountains and disappear.
2) Civil War number two.

The only thing you guarantee by disarming citizens is that criminals targets are helpless and defenseless.

Something else I caught in the video.
the ponytailed guy makes a comment 9:40 seconds into the video.
He says: "When you arrest a rapist, the rape stops. When you arrest a bank robber, the robberies stop. What ever happens when you arrest a drug dealer?"

Ok, when you arrest a rapist, that rapist stops. No doubt. But the next rapist still keeps raping.
when you arrest a bank robber, that robber stops. No doubt. But the next robber keeps robbing.
Same for a drug dealer. Same for a child molester. Same for a car thief. same for any crime. Murderers are still on the street. And what's worse is prison systems are so luxurious now days the criminals want to be there. But thats another topic for another day.

Point is, this guy just lost my confidence. You can't say that arresting a rapist stops rape. It doesn't. It stops one rapist. If arresting a rapist stops rape, then we wouldn't hear about rape cases today at all.

I think you are walking a real fine line there bud.
Legalize everything?!!?
I see no benefit from that. Do this and you now have heroin addicts, meth addicts, crack addicts and the like roaming the streets laughing at you because they can legally destroy themselves. Problem is, once they need their next fix, at what ends are they going to stop to get it? These drugs are so strong, and their addictive power so strong, that you stop at nothing to get high again.

Legalize everything, fine. There's going to be a lot of dead crack addicts lying around - not because of overdose, nope. I see one of those crazy ass holes coming near me or my family and I'm going to exercise my right to defend myself with lethal force.

At least while it's illegal they have to hide what they do, and can't roam the streets like idiots.

Just my $.02
