the age of aquarius

After all, what's more important, putting your opponent down, or bringing yourself closer to the truth?

There, spoken like a true convert to KBW. I can see now where my relentless reasoning has converted the hardest nut in the land. We can now take down the old Beaglesonian flag with the crossed hunting rifles over the deer’s head and raise the proud KBW flag with the letters in bold blue over a gleaming gold crucible, and probably a cat in there somewhere because I like cats.

As Beagles hath spoken: it seems like the Hippies have taken over the country And all I can say is that it is about time. This is, my friends, the Age of Aquarius.

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the minds true liberation

And hordes driving to to that charming Beaglesonian bed and breakfast

To celebrate their gay marriage with zest.

Well maybe we are not quite there yet, last word from the Top O’ Michigan is that Beagles still holds some renegade opinions, but surely bringing him closer to feeding his beliefs into the sacred crucible of reason which shall reveal the truth.

Trouble with cutting and pasting, it screws up your formats and makes everything look goofy, let’s see if I can get back to normal, well normal typefaces anyway.

But for now back to the debate. I wonder what state has tightened up their gun laws. I can’t think of any. I know that Georgia, which used to be seen as the relatively enlightened state of the south has recently gone hog wild with carrying guns into churches and bars and college classrooms, and still the nuts are grousing that they are not allowed to bring their babies into government offices like the DMV. I saw one guy quoted as saying having to try to renew his driver’s license without his big iron on his hip, will make him feel naked and unsafe, and the only thing I can say that if you feel unsafe entering your local gov offices without packing heat, you should probably move.

The west has always been more libertarian than the rest of the country. Where other settlers looked at the verdant fields of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, and thought it was just fine, the sires of the current westerners thought it was too damn crowded and full of busybodies and they would rather live in the Goddamn desert where nobody would be around to tell them what to do and they could smoke their pot and fire their guns till the cows came home, if they hadn’t died of thirst amidst those big red rocks.
