  by JimmyPage in

  this thread was inspired by my listening to the band mastodon lately.

  i just find their drummer brann dailor amazing.

  other drummers who have impressed me in the past have been jimmy chamberlin of smashing pumpkins and dave grohl of nirvana.

  California appeals gun decision..

  the gun issue is constantly in motion..sammieswife.. california gun decision muddies 2nd amendment waters6:00 amapril 24, 2009, by bob barr.

  its been less than a year since the u.s. supreme court issued its landmark heller decision affirming the principle that the 2nd amendment does indeed protect an individual right to keep and bear arms, and that the right it thus protects is a fundamental right.

  the high court last june clearly established: (1) that we the people possess an individual right to own firearms; (2) that this fundamental right pre-dated the constitution (in other words, the 2nd amendment does not grant us the right, it merely protects it); and (3) that a state government (or, in the facts of the case itself, the district of columbia) cannot so restrict the right that it in essence nullifies it.. now, in an april 20th decision, the 9th circuit court of appeals (in a case out of alameda county, california) has already muddied the 2nd amendment picture clarified by the heller decision.

  I took the '1914 Generation' prophecy seriously, did you? Do you even remember it?!

  by nicolaou in

  i was born in 1964, 50 years after 1914. even in my teens i was doing the sums.

  i had a worse case scenario figured out - if the 1914 generation could apply to babies and even if they lived to be a 120, i would still only be about 70 years old after they'd all died!

  i figured i was part of the first wave of 'jehovah's people' that really would live to see the new order - guaranteed!!

  U.S. Auto Industry deserves the grave they dug for themselves

  by drew sagan in

  i don't know how the folks here feel about u.s. automakers (aka the 'big three').

  nevertheless, right now there is a 'bailout' on the table for these folks who seem to have run what were potentially viable companies right into the toilet.

  there is an article over at boing boing that i just had to share.
