We must honor the dead with action. No more thoughts and prayers.

Re: YouTube TV

I've been a YTTV subscriber from the start and agree with most of what you say. Unfortunately what was a reasonable $34 a month fee for enough channels is now becoming a $50 plus a month fee with endless channels. I'll probably keep it, mostly for live TV but I feel like I've been scammed with a teaser price only to be hit with a 50 percent price increase once I'm locked in.

Re: Dealing With Another School Shooting

Shaun Dakin — Mon, 21 May 2018 15:36:23 -0000

I am dealing with this by taking action in my community. I am the Father of a teen.

We are building a new High School in Falls Church and I am making my voice heard loud and clear by the administration and the school board that the school must be built with a priority to maximum safety and security.

At the same time, the school system must be asking all parents to ensure that their guns at home are locked and unavailable to their children.

Many school shooters obtain their guns from their family home. This is a very easy solution - LOCK UP YOUR GUNS. In fact I've created a model pledge for any school system to ask parents to sign. Here is my op-ed in the Falls Church News Press.

Re: Book Review: New Power and the Dynamics of Digital Change

Shaun Dakin — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 10:16:59 -0000

Would love to see Trump, Putin, etc on this grid. I understand that they discuss Trump in the book, but he needs to be on the grid as well. What is also missing from the grid is outcomes. How successful were these movements in disrupting power structures and moving to power (in the US that means elected power). As many have said, Occupy was interesting for a moment but never figured out how to lead and elect people. The Tea Party (yes part of it was funded by big GOP donors) was way ahead in understanding that power = elected officials implementing your vision.

Question - why does he support: guns in K-12 schools; guns on college campuses; permit less carry; expanding stand your ground; why he opposes background checks - all NRA positions which earned him an "A" .

Re: The Conversation About Guns We’re Not Having

Shaun Dakin — Sat, 14 Oct 2017 08:38:04 -0000

Meh.... Yes, most gun owners are reasonable and not Confederate flag waving kkk members... 3 percent of gun owners own 50 percent of the guns in America. So, if you are reasonable SPEAK UP for common sense gun safety laws. The reality is that their silence allows the kkk to speak for them. Allows the NRA to speak for them. Their silence condones the NRA and the kkk. #truth

#TeamRalph. I like both candidates. Either one would be much better than any GOP gov. Here is the thing. Tom's plan would raise taxes. The GOP (massive outside spending) will do every single thing they can to paint him as a "tax and spend" liberal. They will destroy him in the Fall. Ralph is not that person.

For me, Gun Violence Prevention is critical. Ralph is a long time GVP advocate, while Tom was rated A by the NRA. After VA Tech, Tom refused to stand up to the NRA.

I'm with Ralph.
