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

As a 73 year old with health diagnoses that was described by one of my physicians as a "life defining disease" I approve Obama's message

From the JVL piece. Check out the comments as well, if you can

You just answered your question at the end. These guys have no interest in actually governing. They just want to order people around and in the end leave it to the adults, if there are any left, to try to pick up the pieces. They are impetulant children

Maybe if the party stopped relying on or hoping for a" savior" with a plan they act like a left of center Heritage Foundation, basically a think tank, to formulate a blueprint for all candidates to run on. The problem is that getting Democrats to agree on anything is like trying to heard a Cub Scout Pack after they've had their snacks

JVL today https://www.thebulwark.com/p/america-needs-a-project-2029?utm_campaign=email-post&r=45wcm&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Democrats and Never Trumpers need to develop their own Project 2029. Face it America is broken. All norms have been shattered. We can't count on the courts to help fix it and without major landslides, which are unlikely to happen, relying on Congress is a joke. Develop a plan and run on it. There needs to be a New Fair Deal
