Joe- were there a consistent set of laws things would be vastly different. As for gun ownership- would be fine if we actually made gun owners and sellers responsible for their firearms and regulated the type of firearms they sold. Who needs a submachine gun to hunt deer? No one. Drug bondage?? – even prisoners have rights, despite the Emancipation Proclamation. Which you have just taken out of historical context to prove- what? That the states should be allowed to run roughshod over basic constitutional rights?
Arkady, we now know what caused the delay this morning. From Wednesday blogwrap:
“A 35-year-old man was killed by a No. 5 train just before 10 a.m. this morning, according to City Room. The victim was pinned between the train and the tracks at Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue station, where police say there was no evidence of foul play. EMS was called, and power was cut to the tracks but by the time the man could be transported to Brooklyn Hospital Center, he was already in grave condition. Doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.”
benson, when one is DIRT poor, one wants the more immediate stuff addressed first – such as steady food, housing,..
as human nature, one you have that, you want something incremental better – ie you eye better schooling for your kids, better paying job for yourself,… and when one gets to middle class status, one is involved enough in politics to even dare try to displace the existing gov. but till then and you’re dirt poor, freedom is not the first thing that comes to mind. so if you want me to say that’s how I feel being dirt poor then vs that’s the consensus, fine. but you cant tell me that you without any 1st hand experience is going to tell me you’re in better position to tell me otherwise
dibs,
you got me with George Takai.
back·ped·al (bkpdl)
intr.v. back·ped·aled or back·ped·alled, back·ped·al·ing or back·ped·al·ling, back·ped·als
1. To move the pedals of a bicycle or similar vehicle backward, especially to apply a brake. [Uhm, Nope that’s not it.]
2. To move backward by taking short quick steps, as in boxing or football. [Hmm, Closer…]
3. To retreat or withdraw from a position or attitude: The senator later backpedaled on the issue. [Ah, yes, THIS is the one!]
CarGar – Wrap says a commuter was killed by a #5 train – bet that’s what our delay was.
