Guess what happened after they were forced to allow concealed carry in Illinois?
Only hoplophobic fools will be surprised. More guns, less crime.
And yes, I know that they weren’t actually allowed to carry until very recently, but sometimes just the perception that people may be armed can have an effect. Which is why concealed carry has a large free rider effect.
Among other things, they don’t like the dating pool. I wonder if The Big Bang Theory helps, or hurts with that perception?

This seems vaguely related: Redefining boyhood. As a disease to be treated.
I guess you could say it’s a pre-existing condition.

There have been several city-killer-class impacts since 2001. We were just lucky they didn’t hit cities. And Chelyabinsk really dodged a bullet last year. You should support the B612 Foundation. Don’t expect the government to do anything about this.
Hiawatha Bray has what looks to be an interesting new book

OK, now that I have my health care squared away (just under the wire), I’m heading down to Long Beach. Not sure how much I’ll be able to blog from there, but I’ll take a laptop.
SLS/Orion is not only not a “spaceship to everywhere,” it’s really is a spaceship to nowhere.
I really don’t understand what he’s thinking.
