I was a deputy sheriff/corporal in southern Arizona until I had RK done on my right eye to allow me to reduce the weight of my glasses. It was not entirely successful, and I had to resign from both the sheriff's office and the volunteer fire dept. I ended up as the lead security supervisor for a homeless shelter in California, I got my left leg busted in a fight with a former Marine on PCP. I have been disabled since.

  • Will we soon have to say "Seig Heil" to Obama?

    As I told people from the beginning. Obama is a dictator! He intimidated Congress into accepting Obamacare, and I warned people he was only testing the waters, as it were. Now he has made the same statements about his gun control plan. Is the Army going to have to goose step? Will we see the Obama logo in black and white on a red flag? Will we be required to wear arm bands with that logo and color scheme? when are people going to wake up and smell the coffee?

  • What do you think of this?

    Washington has Initiative 502 on the ballot, which would legalize marijuana, even though it would remain illegal under federal law. Supporters claim that it would deprive the drug cartels of a great deal of money, the pot would be put under tight regulatory control, with severe sentences for selling to minors. Sure, a lot of pot is imported, but pot is not a big money item for the cartels. they want to get you off of pot and on to the hard drugs, where they make more money. A lot of pot is grown locally, in basements, national forests and in farmer's fields. Alcohol is under tight regulatory control, but minors seem to have no problem obtaining booze, how would pot be any different. They claim that the taxes collected on pot would allow them to tackle violent crime. Baloney! Any rise in the taxes due to pot will be channeled into the pet projects of politicians. Do you think that the supporters of I-502 think the rest of us have shite for brains? I say the emperor is naked, his new clothes are invisible. What say you?

  • why AC adapters are not marked?

    Many electronic items are powered by batteries or an AC to DC adapter. Only a very few have markings identifying them as to the item they came with. Why is it not possible for manufacturers to label the adapters, so the consumer can tell at a glance what it goes to?

  • Washington state air rifle laws?

    I have the latest Heartland America catalog, and they have two Gamo air rifles. The text says they cannot be sent to Washington. I don't understand this because WalMart sells air rifles, as do about a dozen other stores. I have never seen Washington on any other restricted shipping list. What gives?
