As I'm getting older I find them a bit heavy. Instead, I'll just carry my Glock and a few spare mags.
Back in those times, children used “copybooks” in school. The individual lesson would have a “heading” that the child would then copy over and over. It was an exercise to improve penmenship. The typical “heading” was a genarally accepted norm or fact.
For example, “The sky is blue” or “God is great.”
The poem is using this turn of phrase as a declaration of fact, when you see the phrase in the poem, think “and the fact is” or something similar....
I’m sure that this explanation is not adequate or complete, so hopefully a more scholarly FReeper will step in and assist.
Thanks for the help! I will reread in that context.
That is an excellent book and scary as hell. Everybody needs to read it.
If you aren't "carrying" now, you will be afterwards...
And check those buses every morning. School buses are a concern I have (I won't let my kids ride them anymore). I'm worried they'll go for a coordinated strike and bomb buses across the country. I think they would only get one shot at it as security would be massively over-hauled over night; but still. In my area, they are sitting on the side of the state roads in parking lots with no fences to speak of (probably no security camera's either).
You need to carry a dumocrat with you for a shield.
They tend to be really fat, drool a lot, and talk constantly about really stupid things like how great the economy is since 0bama took over. Besides, if they ever saw a real Muslim terrorist, they would probably pee all over me and crap their pants.
No thanks. It wouldn't be worth the trouble even though they might be able to soak up a lot of lead and shrapnel. But all the whining and yammering would drive me crazy.
I pictured you trying to pick up Moby Moore. It probably gave you a Hernia.
Sorry.
“Start carrying people”
or
“Start carrying, people”
?

Terror group ISIS reportedly has 71 trained soldiers, at least 23 of who are ready to carry out attacks in 15 states
Thanks, Old Sarge.
HiTechRedneck,
Swap those statements around:
Start carrying, people
or
start carrying people.
It seems to be about forgetting the obvious, on purpose. Sooner or later the obvious asserts itself again, to the detriment of those who failed to note it.
True. I would nit-pic your thesis just a little. The ramifications are not able to only be detrimental to those who failed to note it, it will reign down on everyone....
Yes, the burden often gets shared by those who did not expect it.
Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, California, and Michigan. I think that those are all very blue states (not positive about VA) but I think that that they made some good choices so far. I nominate New York, Vermont, Mass, Washington and DC for future consideration.
Send them to Alabama.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Didn’t someplace in AL have some kind of role in their capture?
And look how often school buses are destroyed by a pack of hooligan kids on the day before school starts.
The bus fleet is obviously wide open to sabotage.
Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, California, and Michigan are the next best thing.
If seven of the remaining 10 are the usurpers’ extra 7 states then there’s less to worry about.
Far too many to count in Austin, TX. Succeeding to Keep Austin Weird.
