Over at the Skeptical Optimist, some new developments towards what would be the most effective anti-terror weapon — improved batteries.
Fred Thompson wrote a book a few years ago about his experiences during Watergate. Salon looks through it to try to find damaging material. Well, they may think it’s damaging. I don’t.
In the new issue of the Blue Press from Dillon, there’s an article by Marko Kloos, “Why the Gun IS Civilization,” that’s really well-written. Money quotes:
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force.
…In a truly moral and civilized society, …[f]orce has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
Emphasis mine. You can read Marko’s blog here. Seems worth a look.
Marko is always worth reading; he is one of the first blogs I check in the morning.
