With one august member pushing themes of equating our current society to one which existed 400BC [give a BC or two] [who's history was 'translated' by those guessing what the symbols/language means into today's "modern" context] to the one that ceased to exist long long ago; coupled to pushing rhetoric from newspeek/internet/social media interpretation; or pushing studies even the most inept first year grad school student can interpret as being non-viable, non-repeatable, and completely bogus; and i promised myself i would not mention his childish & elementary taunts towards other forum member, but lost in my discussion with myself!
that stated...I can not begin to solve the society from 400BC's possibly mistranslated problems, nor concerned with poorly study[ies] written by biased wantta be scholars, nor can i fix narcissistic play ground taunts, but...
I am truly concerned with the here and now, especially with the high newspeek/social media rhetoric coupled w/unrestrained grandiose political re-election pandering so found it quite to read about a interesting discussion which occur in a recent congressional House Judiciary Committee about Protecting America From Assault Weapons with what appears to be a highly selected, but apparently biased, group of speakers.
One in particular...a Ms RaShall Brackney, PhD/, Chief of Charlottesville VA PD who when asked by the panel if she would support a ban on hunting rifles responded...
“I believe any weapon that can be used to hunt individuals should be banned!”
Committee members attempted to get Ms Brackney to quantify/clarify as her response seemed to perpetuate the notion she is advocating the banning of citizens' having any type of firearm!
At one point a committee member asked her 'any type of weapon ~ that can be used to kill people should be banned?' Ms Brackney responded "you're adding the word 'type'. I said 'any weapons' so that is my answer. thank you."

Guess the extreme political pandering is getting carried away at the highest levels of our established government and yet not one iota mention out here on the nation's premier OC'g forum...W H Y ?
