Re: free TV (off topic)
Petrophysics notes:
TV in the US is free.
except for the satellite & cable stations....
Assuming you could call the free TV in the US anything close to real TV, it seems to me more like Beige Establishment Propaganda. You have to submit your mind to a relentless barrage of numbing dumbness after dumbness that subconsciously seep into your dreams and shower singing moments.
It's actually humiliating to take a step back and realize what you've been subjecting your brain to for the last hour or so. Of course it's "free", heh heh.
What's really sad is that commercials work. The people wind up paying for their so-called "free" TV by a roundabout method anyway.
I agree with most of what you said, though, Petro.
I have never met a "gun nut" who wanted to force me to do anything or to take my property or force me to pay them money. I have met and seen many in gov't who who think it's perfectly fine to use the force of arms to make me and others comply.
As Woody says in "Pretty Boy Floyd":
As I travel through this country I meet a lot of funny men.
Some'll rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen.
But as through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam,
You won't never see an outlaw drive a family from their home.
