Keeping up....



I have pulled three all-nighters this week. Printed 'til 6AM today.

This defines "busy", I am told; a situation for which I am profoundly thankful, but it does wear on a body. I am off (!) to Knoxville for a 2-day anime and comic con this weekend. Not too far.

I grow weary of the endless whining about Bundy. I do not believe that he is in the legal "correct" column, but then, I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. (DENNY CRANE!) I always tend to err toward freedom, however. I am a liberty person, and the FedGov overreach chaps me.
--------------------------

The FDA is in process of figuring out how to regulate e-cigs.

And cigars. They wish to regulate my benign Drug of Choice. (Self-medication. We'll talk.)

THIS IS A THINKING I HAVE THUNK ABOUT. IT IS NOT AIMED AT ANY ONE PERSON OR GROUP.
---------------------------------------

Freedom, while dangerous, should be embraced.

If you wish, support, and celebrate the Government trying to ban What You Do Not Like, please bear in mind that you may do things That I Do Not Like.

Better for us to live tolerantly and amicably, I won't "X" in your presence, if you will not "Y" in mine.

Anything beyond that is meddling, and just bad form.

In other words, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

In OTHER other words....

MYOB.

(Here is a great story by Eric Frank Russell about MYOB!) Please to read. It is FUN!)

By the time the FDA gets their act together on that one, e-cigs will have gone the way of roller disco and Pet Rocks (and, hopefully, even the FDA).

This may be a variation of a conversation we had before (or, rather, a rant from my end), but I keep wondering how many personal ways of coping with the world in general (and Life in particular) the Government can regulate and/or interfere with before it ends up getting its hands bitten?

On a related note: when is the Government going to apply itself to genuine problems and quit nickel and diming the population to death?

Don't hate me. I have been visiting because I have been, in my own ways, pulling all-nighters, and yesterday literally. Which for me... well... When I return I'll try to get to your broadcasts... which I've been avoiding due to time and a deadline. Well, okay, you can hate me a bit. :p

@Doom- Anything we can be praying about? Your being cryptic worries me a tad.

@Michael- "(W)hen is the Government going to apply itself to genuine problems and quit nickel and diming the population to death?"

When the populace install Constitutionally-responsive representatives.

@Aardvark: "When the populace install Constitutionally-responsive representatives."

Well, it was a nice dream while it lasted.

@Doom: I echo the Aardvark's concerns. I have my subtle moments from time to time, but in regards to prayer I prefer a bit of concerned focus.
