We now have a a bi-partisan amendment that has the critical support from the Senate committees which have responsibility for the FSA and which is endorsed by the Administration (Customs and Border Production have signed off on it). That gives it a very good chance of making it through the process, but first we have to get it voted into the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill.

We're going to ask you to write yet again, because your letters and emails and faxes are WORKING. You are the ones who have made this happen

That’s how liberals think it reads.

Prove me wrong.

Yes, you are correct as liberals only want the State to have guns.

However, the Second says “People” and the people includes everyone in the United States.

Time to overthrow this joke of a govt. and start anew?
If it isn’t spelled out in the Constitution then the govt. should stay out of it.
Place the congress in stocks along the reflecting pond and let’s all throw garbage at them as they ALL deserve.

Wheeeewww that went right over my head.

I have never watched a Harry Potter movie and had no clue who you were talking about.

The wiki explained it a bit. I thought it appropriate the one of the characters had a face on the front and back of his head. I have known 2-faced people, but that image is a first.

In jest-

“Welcome to New Kenya” Africa U.S.A.

“Where the law of the jungle has replaced the Law of the Land!”

The Harry Potter series is a children's book in the same sense that Animal Farm is about farming and animal husbandry.

It is a morality tale of some magnitude for the upcoming generations, set against a backdrop of a shadow reality, the magical world, overlaps but doesn't quite touch our own.

J K Rowling manages to create this fantasy world, make it believable, entertaining, and realistic. (She even manages to make studying magic seem rather boring).

It is the struggle of the good and the ordinary against a consummately evil, implacable, persistent and determined opponent. One could easily draw parallels to our daily news reports.

It's worth becoming familiar with the series. The movies are OK, but the books are far richer. Don't let the first book put you off, Rowling hadn't fully developed as a writer and it is, after all, about and for 11 year olds.

FWIW, It worked better for me to listen to the books during my commute time.

Computer time has taken a lot of my time to read. Have a rather large library, acquired over last 35 years.

I only have 2 books that I would describe as fiction. One of those 2 is a fictional account written to protect individuals from the real world.

My reading interest are technical(RF & computers), history, and political/economics.

Wished I had more time to read, but family members with health issues take what time I have left over after work.

Traveled for a living for over 30 years, but I tele commute now.

More like a Greater Zimbabwe.

A dictatorship 'blessed' with hyper-inflation...
