You really need to read the Constitution.
Harry, I spend 99.999% of my time reading techie stuff and have not
read the Constitution since i was 25 yrs old.
Well, it isn't a lengthy document and most of it is pretty
straightforward.
Then how come the judges seem to have so many conflicting opinions
regarding what the Constitution says?

Simple. The writers of the first amendment were *not* talking about
pornographic DVDs. The defence lawyers were having to deliberately
misrepresent it to get their clients off. Obvious misrepresentation
leads to arguments from the prosecution.

I wonder if the writers of the second amendment were talking about any
of the sorts of firearms around these days?

They were talking about anything a State Government may use to shoot an
invasion by British soldiers.
Or Federal troops.

Not crossposted.

Played The Gauntlet down in Fredricksburg today. Lost about nine balls.
Miserable course. Shot 108. Will probably never go back.

You have to come up and play this nice little muni on the
Montgomery/Frederick County line sometime. Damn place kicks my ass
everytime and I don't have to loose any balls.

I'm tired of getting my butt kicked. I started some lessons last week.
Since then nothing is working. Hopefully it will get better.

How much do bowling balls cost?

Why would you expect to be better at golf than you are at anything else?

Try line dancing.

I have one available. Since my chielectomy, great toe on right foot, I
can't bend it and I refuse to swing the ball with both hands between my
legs.

Golf is a lot of fun if you lose the score card.
Just enjoy being out in the sunshine and hitting the ball.
I get a lot better bang for my golf dollar. You may only get to hit
the ball 80 times or so, I get to hit it 100 or more ... from wherever
I want..




I go hunting with some of my buddies, but I don't hunt, in that I would
never shoot an animal. When I visited my uncle in Florida, I walked
along with him while he golfed. He never used a cart. It was great
exercise and pretty scenery.

You're absolutely correct. But a bad shot feels like crap. A bunch of bad
shots is worse.

It's like getting a nice fish up to the boat and then watching it shake the
hook. Depressing.

Of course landing the next one or the one after keeps one coming back for
more.

Yeah, but see...you operate at a much higher moral and ethical standard
than most of us.

And you probably don't even like fish!
