Avoiding Negligent Discharges

Before we even start with gun safety I think the first thing we should get out of the way is to show everyone why you should never give a gun to a monkey.

What you learn from this video is that they are unpredictable and remember that also goes for lots of everyday people out there that you might run into on the firing line.

I think of gun safety often when I hear of firearm tragedies. Here is one I just read from a blogger under the title CarteachO.

Over the years I remember a couple of times when clearing weapons that I missed a proper part of the sequence and could have really had a bad experience. Mostly this means the risk of putting a hole through a floor since I generally point it there when clearing one. Still, this should give you pause.

Here are some stories on the subject.

Speaking Truth to Power Clint Eastwood Style

Clint asks the country to Make My Day. It takes an 82 year old man to show the courage the rest of the entertainment industry and the media would never show. Now the media is turning on Clint with trying to mock him simply because he did his job as an entertainer and mocked the President.

In the end, he simply said to Mr. Obama that you are our employee and we think it's time for you to move on. What is so bad about that?

Drug Resistant TB

Step into the wrong elevator or get on the wrong airplane and you might pick up a deadly and nearly incurable version of TB. The world is floating in nasty infectious diseases and TB of the antibiotic resistant type will bring us back to the days before antibiotics where catching such a disease is a death sentence. With open borders and no public health agency that really manages such risks we are all just one elevator ride away from wretched death. This alone is why I prefer to travel in cars and stay out of large groups and confined spaces with people.

Here is an story about the alarming rise of drug resistant TB.

West Nile Virus on the Move

New Tick Virus from the Heartland

Here is a new virus that may take the name Heartland Virus since many viruses are named after locations where they are first found. It has some nasty symptoms and as usual is transmitted easily by tick bites. Add this to the growing list of tick infections that doesn't seem to be important to the government in terms of finding cures or vaccines. Lyme is still the big daddy on the tick disease front due to its widespread distribution and long lasting effects on the neurological system.

Saving Money the Old Fashioned Way

Here is the Southpark take on how saving money really works. For those of you with money in MF Global or some other operation that somehow lost Billions of money for its clients I think this little video takes on special meaning.

This is why I suggest owning silver, gold, and holding cash.

Civil War 201?

Well, the U.S. Military is writing papers on the subject of civil war in 2016 so it makes you wonder when the DHS purchases 400 million rounds of .40 JHP. The signs are becoming evident that they are readying for some type of insurrection of social unrest. The worst part of it is that they might foment it in order to justify a harsh response.
