(Ex-liberal film maker
David Mamet): Disarmament rests on the assumption that all
people are good, and, basically, want the same things. But if all people were basically good, why
would we, increasingly, pass more and more elaborate laws?

Dedicated versus Committed
I heard this recently. People can be dedicated to fighting
for freedom (speech, bearing arms, voting rights.... what have you) and very
passionate about the issue in question. Others claim to be committed. The words
often are used interchangably. A guy said this about it, as it relates to
Soldiers (my line of work for the last 26 years) and how they approach
supporting and defending the Constitution: He said, "Civilians are often
dedicated to the Constitution. Soldiers are committed to it. The same way a
chicken is dedicated to your breakfast but a pig is committed to it.”
Back in Arkansas for a While
Back in Little Rock Arkansas at Camp Robinson Army National Guard Professional Education Center. Will be here two weeks, teaching at SMTC. Started sleeting/snowing Friday morning.
