From a reader:

We ask that all firearm owners put this on their wall. The Supreme Court of the United States has affirmed that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right of the individual. If you believe in the 2nd Amendment, and you are not afraid to show it, re-post this!!! … I hope to see this re-posted by a lot of my friends. Remember, if we outlaw guns, then only outlaws will have guns!!!

My problem with the absolutism of these people is that they are unwilling or unable to differentiate between the right of a farmer in Wyoming to own a rifle, and some kid with a history of mental illness to own a cache of AR-15.

What about rocket-propelled grenades? Flame-throwers?  Surface-to-air missiles? Nuclear weapons?

A little sanity here would go a long way.

The Sanctity of the Second Amendment

This is funny–and it’s true, but I suspect there is more to the analysis.

A huge component to what makes the people of Denmark and the dozens of other similar nations so happy is that, where the U.S. is a collection of 335 million individuals looking out for #1, the Danes are a community of people who honestly care about each other and the future of their nation.

For some crazy reason, they prefer not to live among a small group of ultra-rich selfish pigs, and an enormous group of desperate, impoverished, ignorant, mentally unhealthy people.

Nuts, right?

Denmark Is Better at Accounting? Sure, but That’s Not the Real Deal Here

Obviously, the meme here was concocted simply as clickbait, but here’s a comment anyway.  I’m sure there are companies all across the nation that would prefer not to hire liberals, on the basis that we reject the core tenets of the Trump administration: racism, anti-science, disdain for environmental responsibility, the destruction of our public educational system, and so forth.

And all that’s fine if you’re an auto repair shop or a pizzeria.

On the other hand, the Fortune 500 tends to favor candidates who are bright, articulate, well-educated, and focused on problem-solving with fact-based methodologies, rather than what they just heard on Fox News.
