And so, you become like them. Rigid, unyielding, and unable to see any viewpoint but your own. I feel pity for the future you and am glad I will not live to see it

But, are they wrong?

Seriously, someone can be the epitome of what you despise and still be correct about something.

Contact or join your local SCA group. They may be anachronists as opposed to anarchists, but if you want to learn how make and use weapons and armor of that sort there are few more accessible teachers and trainers.

One of them made large amounts of basic body armor from heavy gauge plastic barrels for use by protesters a few years back. They may not stop bullets, but they are very_ effective versus “non-lethal” rounds and similar.

And yes, the person did get a visit from the FBI, who let the person keep on making as they weren’t working on weapons of any sort. Just the armor.

The US already has died as a global superpower. Only it’s military keeps it going.

But… Are they wrong? Have you run for a public office, volunteered for a political cause, or done anything besides talk?

I’m Canadian, and this year I went to Florida to fulfill a life-long (I’ll be 60 next year) dream to visit the Kennedy Space Center. One thing I noticed, beyond getting “randomly secondarily” screened at EVERY security checkpoint, was that there were no wait lines for anything anywhere.

No lines at NASA, no lines at restaurants, no lines at Orlando attractions. At least nothing more than a couple of minutes, at most. Even the beaches were mostly empty…

Me, as a Gen X, just keeping under the radar…

Thanks for the driving tip as I absolutely am renting a car at the Orlando airport and driving out to our hotel, which is about 15-20 minutes away from KSC.

I plan on spending at least two full days there so I’ll try to hit all of that. How much of that has to be booked in advance?

Also, is it still possible to visit the Apollo 1 memorial?

59 years old today and still in denial.

From Atari’s Combat, through Tribes, and now Helldivers, the gaming goes on. There may come a day when I put away my mouse and controller …

BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!

I wish I could afford red meat…

I debated how to reply to you for probably too long. The best reply I could think of, is the following:

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

No, a man with the right to be innocent until proven guilty is being presumed guilty before due process can be done.

There is a difference
