It’s a small thing in the general scheme but a gubernatorial candidate cannot do this and expect to get elected

Burns has said that this was the hardest of his films to make. There are no photographs, no living witnesses to put on screen, and a lot of what would be interesting letters and correspondence had been destroyed. Martha Washington burned all of her letters to and from George, for example. That said, we had a chance to see a preview a couple of weeks ago. What we saw was great. The National Park Service, Virginia 250 Committee, and the PBS station in Norfolk had the showing on the battlefield in Yorktown. They showed about an hours worth of footage, a lot of what we saw was tailored for the event so there was a lot of Yorktown footage. You can see Burns and company's fingerprints on this, it didn't seem to show any political leaning imo. But there are folks who tend to find Colonial Williamsburg a bit too woke for their tastes

This sums it up... Unless it won't.

BTW if strong restrictions on weapons don't work. Can you explain why the US has with the largest firearm ownership in the world also has the highest gun death rate in the world? Also if countries like Japan, the UK and Australia all have stricter gun control laws AND much lower firearm death rates. How do you explain that?

And I thought you guys were in favor of Law and Order. It still may be so unless it applies to you

Had em all the way

This team is cursed. All the Good Karma from the second half of last season to July has worn out. Need a new Karma supplier

By that logic let's just go Wild West. Do away with all laws because criminals don't follow them anyway. Got it.

So you're saying that restrictions on "automatic weapons" worked. And only rich people can afford them. Great let's put similar restricts on semi automatic weapons or magazine size. That should reduce crime even more

Possibly filed under "the more things change....

If Joe Biden were giving this rambling speech, itd be treated as a four alarm fire in every newsroom in the country about his very obvious physical and mental decline. But because its Trump, they'll all mostly just shrug and move past it.

I like 2, anything to avoid the turnpike. We also try to avoid Columbus on our way south, depending on the destination. As I've said for 20 plus years now, the Michigan to SW or even our current location in Virginia wouldn't be so bad if Ohio wasn't in the way.

I don't know Wallace would have probably been smarter. Now Lester Maddox is another story.

Pre-pandemic and when I lived in Michigan I would take my then pup to Lyon Oaks for the dog park several mornings during the week. There would be about a half dozen or so of us. Retired, or near retirement age. We'd about an hour or so just walking the perimeter of the park discussing the days events or whatever. It was cool, a chance to socialize, get a bit of exercise, the dogs got some extra socialization out of it. I used to describe it as like the old guys at McDonalds

Happy for you. No wonder by oysters taste funny

Guess who's paying for the increased cost

Most Americans cannot comprehend the size of the Great Lakes. Each individual lake dwarfs the Chesapeake Bay. The Great Lakes collectively holds 3 times the amount of water than the Bay, for example

I think one could be both pro second amendment and be willing to support guardrails. After all it says well regulated militia. One can support guns and regulations. We also have regulations on the operation of automobiles without banning them. Prove me wrong

To most of us here gun control does not equal gun a ban. You keep harping on cars. Nobody wants to ban cars, and I would guess that 99% of those on this board are not in favor of banning firearms. And I would guess nearly 90% or more of the general population feels the same way. If you want to drive you need a license and if you get caught there is a price to pay. The same with traffic laws. If you own a car, most states require some sort of licensing and registration. Not to mention vehicle inspections and so on. Why do you oppose the same for firearms. If you want to own a gun you need to pass a stringent test showing 1) you are familiar with the rules and regulations, 2) you are competent enough to use the tool properly. Members of the armed forces, police forces require such training so why just pass out guns to every Tom, **** and Archie? That's all most of us are talking about RESPONSIBILITY. You're not handing your car keys to a 12 year old or to your 80 something relative who may not be competent any more to drive. So why allow that 12 year old or any relative who shows signs of mental distress to handle a weapon. All most of us want here is some accountability. And common sense. That said there are too many assholes on the road who ignore speed limits and other auto safety issues who don't deserve to get behind the wheel. I'm all for taking both their guns and vehicles away from them.

Not sure. The big white building there looks like the old Wrigley Building. Which would put it near Michigan and Wacker. It’s been way too long since I’ve been in that area. My first job in Chicago was on the other side of the bridge. The office was a closet in what we called the Paul Harvey building
