I'll never understand

I thought this story was great, other than the fact that nobody else would help. That part I think is terrible. I've heard other stories of crowds of people not helping a victim in an attack. Where is the intestinal fortitude in this "age of the wimp"? I'm disgusted at peoples unwillingness to physically get involved when somebody is in need of help. Is their no real men left in this world? Yes men, I'm sorry, but if your not willing to help a weaker person in danger and in real need of physical help, your not a real man.

Human Nature

I have been a member of our local VFD for a # of years now. I have observed the changes that have been taking place here in our "out of the way" community. There has been a migration of people from out of the area moving in. People from larger areas that have some money. It is very perplexing to me as to why people move to a small area and then try to make it into the area they came from. People from the big city move to the rural area to get away from it all. Then they proceed to do there best to change the nice, small community into exactly what they came from. My area (yes, I migrated too, but I prefer to keep the area the way it was) has for many years been a little bit of a step back in time. Many people here don't have power and in many areas it isn't even available. The roads have only been paved in the last 20 years. Electricity was brought to the main area 50 years ago. Beautiful place. People are individuals here and keep to themselves. I get along with all my neighbors (although it took a while to get to know them). You can walk down the road with a rifle and nobody thinks anything of it. In fact, they will stop and chat or offer a ride. Anyhow, I was just elected to the board of the local VFD and part of my job means I must make recommendations on new subdivisions and houses being built. All the big city requirements are now being required here, emergency equipment access, road widths, signs, etc. No more will places like my house be able to be built. There is no way a fire truck is getting to my place and that is fine by me. I provide my own fire service. If the forest service or law enforcement tells me I have to evacuate because of fires, floods, etc., I am not moving. Why can't we as people take care of ourselves anymore? I don't need or want the government keeping me safe from myself. There is and has been a trend to stupify the American citizen. There is a whole group of hoplophobes that can't even stand the thought that they might have to defend themselves. What ever happened to people with backbone? Now, if you disagree with the current government administration, Homeland Security says you should be watched for potential "right wing extremism" violence. It is time to wake up Americans! It is time to wake up Christians! If your a practicing Christian and you voted for this administration, I hope your repenting! If you chose some supposed money gain (which will not happen) over principals and morals, I hope your rethinking your decisions! So far, this administration has killed more innocent children, put us in the greatest debt we have ever been in, and threatens to take away more rights. You will soon be criminals if things continue. Obama says we are not a Christian nation, that is like slapping God in the face and saying we reject you! Dangerous stuff. Enough said.

Will People Ever Get it Right?

We are NOT a Democracy! We are a Republic! There IS a difference. Lots of thought was put into this when our forefathers framed our government. In a Democracy, two wolves and a lamb vote on whats for lunch. In a free Constitutional Republic such as ours, the lamb has a say too because the constitution guarantees him some rights. The lamb is armed to repel such tyranny. In a Democracy, the majority decides what is good for you. In a Constitutional Republic, all the people are free. In a very basic sense, this is what we are.

Another Good Quote

"How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual... as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of." -- Texas State Representative Suzanna Gratia Hupp

Wonderful things happening in the Montana state government

I love the state of Montana. Although not perfect, it is a wonderful place to be. I say this with apprehension because I really don't want a flock of people moving here and making it the same as many other states. But nevertheless, at considerable risk, I will share the good news. Many new and interesting bills have been introduced, some of them successful (or appearing to be so far) and some not. The right of self defense is an important one and the one that should be least messed with. It is the most basic fundamental right we have. Without which, no other rights can stand. If you can't defend yourself, you can hardly speak up for yourself, publicly worship, fearlessly pursue life, liberty and happiness, or any of the other basic human rights. Every creature under heaven will defend itself the best way it can if attacked. That is how we and they were made. Jesus clearly gave up that right when He went to the cross because He very explicitly stated that He could defend himself with unstoppable force. So clearly He was familiar with self defense. He even implies its use in other passages that I won't get into here. Anyway, recently Montana has sent to the governors office HB246 stating that the federal government has no more right to regulate firearms made, sold, and remaining in Montana than they do any other intrastate commerce. Basically, it is an attempt to regain some state rights. It is sad that we have to work to take back "rights" that can't be taken away in the first place. We also have HB228 which puts the burden of proof back on the state (rather than the victim) in a situation where force had to be used by the victim. Although we lost some cool things in this bill as it has worked its way though the system, it so far has remained a great thing. I am happy to see some state governments stand up to what has become far far too large of a federal government. Now if only we could get them to refuse this stupid stimulus money! Now for something really cool.... check out the Montana soveirgnty resolution here... http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2009/lchtml/LC1170.htm

Good day my friends!

Update: This is now HR3 and the new link is http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2009/billhtml/HR0003.htm

I've been pondering......

If a man alone out in the woods speaks out loud, and there happens to be no woman around to her him, is he still wrong???
