“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

In My Craft or Sullen Art
In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms,
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charms
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most secret heart.
Not for the proud man apart
From the raging moon I write
On these spindrift pages
Nor for the towering dead
With their nightingales and psalms
But for the lovers, their arms
Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art.
–by Dylan Thomas

Gov. Wayne Abbott? ABC News should get the Texas governor’s name right. Makes you wonder what other details of the story may have been misreported.
Yeeks.
And what holds the republic together? It for damned sure is not the courts, DA, or cops; those have eroded into minions doing the bidding of whomever is in charge. It is people living under the voluntary agreement to behave in one’s own self-interest and at the same time not harm others. The “self-interest” part often includes egalitarian, charitable, and generous acts; neighborly behavior that doesn’t intrude on anyone’s privacy. You know, the Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, Make Room for Daddy kind of stuff. The exact subjects your prog English teacher in high school sneered at.
“You can’t be here without authorization” and “Lemme see some ID” and “Where are you going?” is a direct line to “Some are more equal than others”. As I’ve oftenrepeated: it’s a small club and you ain’t in it brother.
This shit is getting far too commonplace and my confidence in the near and far future is too shaky for my comfort.
“Makes you wonder what other details of the story may have been misreported.”
Bunny, the report did refer to “armed rifles”, which sounds as scary as “armed grenades” and “armed torpedos”.

@ Jimmy. I watched it this morning. MUST SEE!

My state, Alaska, has a no guns in banks or bars law, generally interpreted to mean inside the premises, not outside in the parking lots.
I’ll have to check the wording to see if they can stretch it because if they can, sooner or later they will. For example our DUI laws; cops have told me, why yes they can go on to private property and arrest someone mowing their lawn with a riding mower with a can of beer for driving a motor vehicle under the influence.
