Or maybe you should just speed on your way to Hell.

Re: Eliminating a Dukes of Hazard Toy Does Nothing to Fix Racism or Murder

I said nothing of the kind and nothing in my argument requires such a position. You just vomited words rather than read what I wrote.

Very good point. I lapsed.

Unbelievable. Yes. That is what I meant. Thank you.

No, "transgender" merely means someone who "identifies" (i.e. claims to "really" be) the opposite sex. Only a few do the surgery. Apparently this guy wasn't even dressed in a noticeably feminine way.

Yes, fixed now. Somehow both I and my proofreader missed that. Thank you.

Nothing more than recording the license plate would have enabled him to legally ruing that girls day (and many days). He should have done exactly what you or I would have done. Recorded the information and called the on-duty police to investigate. If you (assuming you aren't a supposed LEO) had responded to a hit and run that way, you would be in jail that same day.

Re: Would You Miss My Blog Archives?

markhorne — Mon, 29 Dec 2014 21:42:18 -0000

You're doing the right thing. Blogs are for staying connected, not for providing a detailed history to strangers. If I had time I might do it (except I have lost archives anyway).

Re: Shooters are Guilty for Shooting, not Protesters

markhorne — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 14:13:43 -0000

I agree about that bloodthirsty and hideous chant. I added a note that will hopefully clarify issues.

Re: Shooters are Guilty for Shooting, not Protesters

markhorne — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 14:11:49 -0000

Thanks for pointing that out. I completely agree with you. But the reasoning I was looking at was not aimed at such bloodthirsty rhetoric. I added a clarifying note.

Re: How Politics & Culture Collaborate with Killers by Gun Control

No, no. They can be fixed. We just add to the document. Any woman who is granted one gets a loaner handgun and a few hours of training by police. The piece of paper is an emergency gun license and provision of protection. If the government is supposed to protect people from harm then this is the only rational policy.

Re: Jon Stewart on Eric Garner: Pushing Race

markhorne — Sat, 06 Dec 2014 15:19:12 -0000

Historically, when the police went on strike in New York City, the crime rate didn't change. And the police have no obligation to protect you from harm. That's been proven over and over again in courts when victims or next of kin try to sue police for failing to do their basic duty and leaving people unprotected.

Re: Rand Paul and Ted Cruz Are Not Opposites

markhorne — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:35:12 -0000

You are incorrect; I am not a libertarian. I don't believe prostitution should be legal, to name just one example. I don't believe that the so-called "non-aggression" principle gives us the only law code that society should govern itself by. We also disagree on who, in this exchange, is displaying arrogance.

Re: Police Brutality for Seatbelt Violation

markhorne — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:57:04 -0000

From a personal wisdom standpoint I agree with you unless they genuinely were afraid and were hoping they could get more witnesses on the scene via the driver's 911 call. But in many of these cases I am outraged at police behavior but horrified that people do stupid things to bring harm on themselves.

Weird. I won't use it again.

I had worked out as a vain young guy, but it was in my 46th year that I did my first ever barbell back squat and my first ever dead lift. I got some info that allowed me to pursue a serious, if simple, strength program...

So thank you for inspiring me to stick with it!

I misread the pronoun! Very embarrassed. Fixed now and, uh, withdrew one of my inferences.

Re: Cops Terrorize Family For Driving Car that Didn’t Match Description

markhorne — Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:35:20 -0000

What that means is that some good and honorable police officer is going to find it harder to work because of what others have done to damage his reputation by acting like bullies--or because a police department is insisting it is no big deal to treat people this way.

Oops, that was a bad edit on my part. Fixed.

Thank you so much. Some days I get help because other writers chime in. (But everyone is a volunteer so I can't demand anything). I think the writing would improve if I had more other writers to help more often. Working on it... God bless.

I don't remember you commenting in a while. Glad you are back. (Or maybe I just missed other comments) :)
