The early heavy snow sure shut things down and cancelled lots of events. If it is any sign of what is ahead we better all have snow tires put on our vehicles. No one can predict weather very far out. That’s because of complicated things like high and low pressure, heating of the oceans and storms on the sun. Knowing all those things makes me the skeptic of the CO2 business where the earth heating is being promoted as a true thing, when it is only an unproven, questionable theory.
Several countries in Europe have a carbon tax. People in those countries have triple the electric energy bills than they had before it was started. Take a good look at your last bill and times it by three to pay a tax invented to make some people rich and the rest of us beggars. It hasn’t reduced carbon in Germany but it sure must be hurting not only homeowners but also Germany’s industry who needs it to make products using this high-priced energy.
In New Jersey, it is against the law to own a Daisy air rifle. I am not kidding, you can’t give your son or daughter one for Christmas. If you have one in your car you could face felony charges. I grew up with a Red River model and later a pump model and cannot believe they did that.
I learned gun safety, and how to shoot with one. I never considered them to be deadly and I never shot anyone. Now we have all these restrictions, and no place to house the mentally disarranged individuals who should be restrained. Oh, give them medicine and turn them out. They must not take it. With people like that running around we will continue to have disasters. The plan to have these folks loose is not doing us any good. Look at the mental problems of folks who have led these massacres and all we get is more laws to take guns away from normal folks. We aren’t facing the real problems but we get laws where your children can’t have an air rifle. Number two; I call them copycat business crimes. There is absolutely too much news and glory available to would-be killers to go down in a blaze of glory.
For instance, the Boston bomber was shown as a hero on a major magazine cover. When he was an insane assassin, who should have been shot immediately by a firing squad for what he did to innocent men, women and children in the Boston street.
Let’s make some resolutions for the New Year. To redirect America back to the things that made us such a great nation. Let’s ask the folks who make laws, to have less, not more restrictions on our lives, our ways and our well being. But let’s be frank with each other, there are limits to a populated world and beyond that we can live here. To stop writing laws that only take our rights away and don’t stop anything but the real folks from having their rights. Chicago has strict gun laws – they kill more there than any war. Let’s get our insane hospitals open again. Remove people from society who should not be loose.
And then let’s all take a little time to be grateful for this wonderful land of ours despite our problems. It still is a great place to live in when compared to alternate places. Say prayers to whomever you trust and believe in. May God bless you and America, Dusty Richards
