You don't want to follow me. I am a grumpy old man, who yells at clouds to get off his lawn.
I don't like blue.
I don't like red.
I don't care about your pronouns.
I don't care about who you're attracted to.
I don't care who the president is or isn't.

I can't believe I have to say this. Immigration is not a crime but there are rules/regulations/laws for immigration (and the US is quite lax compared to our Northern Neighbor). If you immigrate without following those laws you have broken the law which is a crime and therefore you are a criminal.

I used to hear #comic writers like Gail Simone talk shit about Jim Shooter all the time. Problem is in the end he was right and always put the comics first. He put them before investors and before the fragile egos of writers.
Industry should have given him more credit.

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book because there would be no one who wanted to read one.

My biggest hope for both Trump presidencies was that the massive amounts of power bloat given to the Executive Branch in the 20th century would be stripped away and that the 3 Branches would restabilize to where our Founders intended.
I forgot how greedy and power hungry ALL politicians are.

You can say "it's the guns" but it is really that American culture (all of it not just a single demographic) does not teach self responsibility, civic responsibility, or basic morality.
You can take away the tool but that will not change the mentality behind it.

Some #booksky people may find this funny.
After my son's ELA class finished its Steinbeck unit (The Red Pony, and The Pearl) my son started using "Steinbeck" as a catch-all for "bad stuff happens."
Rough day in school? "My day was totally Steinbeck"
Lose a game? "It was a Steinbeck game."

Question:
Where were all these Americans who are decrying the new #H1B rules because "they have families" when my entire team was let go because the company wanted to "strategically restructure" which meant replacing us with cheaper H1B contractors from an Indian company?
We had families too.

I have found though my layman study of history every societal collapse is preceded by a length of time where the society becomes more debauched and decadent.
Rome took a few centuries of this slowly occurring while Germany barely took 15 years (1918-1933).
The US seems on the German timetable

The vast cancellation of #Disney properties by the Left should hopefully show Disney that the Left is a far smaller demographic than they thought which would then hopefully cause them to stop pandering.

Got a call from my ex-wife this morning. She wanted my help in suggesting a firearm for her to purchase.
My ex-wife was the biggest anti-gun nut I personally knew. I couldn't even own a hunting rifle when we were married.
