What AZ Legislators and California Gangbangers Have in Common

What do our state legislature and California gangbangers have in common.  They both think it's a good idea to walk around with a gun tucked into your pants, with enough showing so that people know you're "packin."   I can't tell you how disturbing it is to walk into a popular Arcadia fast food restaurant and pass a teenager with a gun tucked into his pants headed for a car with California license plates.   The pants were so loose it's surprising they could hold up the gun.  Was he just a teenager strutting his manhood for his gangster pals, or a Jared Loughner stalking his next victim?  How the heck was I supposed to know.   I don't care if a rancher needs a gun to keep the coyotes at bay or someone wants to go turkey hunting, but there's got to be limits.   I am way done with shooting at people and being shot at.   I am now too old to duck for cover and would like a little peace of mind in my old age.

Krauthammer and the Crimea

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/charles-krauthammer-obama-vs-putin-the-mismatch/2014/03/27/e26a27f2-b5d5-11e3-8cb6-284052554d74_story.html

Charles Krauthammer who was born in New York City and grew up in Montreal sat out the Vietnam war when he was still an able bodied man.  Now he wants our children to shed their blood in faraway Crimea fighting Russians of dubious character defending Ukrainians led by people of dubious character.  My answer is NO.
