    Wrong. They interpret it as the right to keep and bear arms as being there /because/ of the need for a well-regulated militia.

    That is, the idea is that the need for "a well regulated militia" is the reason for the "right to keep and bear arms", not in and of itself.

    It's Yet Another Place the framers could have chosen their words better to be more transparent.

    Holy fuck you're ignorant.

    In the 1800s? Yeah, the Dems were the conservative party, hostile to minority rights. In the civil rights era? The southern Dems (Dixiecrats) left the party because they were told that bigotry wasn't compatible with the national party. Guess which party welcomed the bigots with open arms. The Republicans.

    The rest of your post is wrong, but it's not so egregiously ignorant of history. Quit listening to media personalities who are paid to tell you what to think.

    No, they interpret it differently, emphasizing the "A well regulated militia" clause.

    Whether that's right nor not is orthogonal to hostility.

    Thing is, though, with the Republicans doubling and tripling down on obstructionism, we can count on none of Obama's nominees getting past the Senate.

    True, but in instance TSA won't happen - Obama's got no interest in shuttering or hamstringing that monstrosity, just as he didn't object to illegal warrantless wiretapping.

    I am totally open to it being a problem.

    No you're not. Your political interest is in it /not/ being a problem, and you're making that very clear with your arguments that are remarkably similar to AGW and evolution denialism in shape and tone.

    You still have to keep up with new releases of the spec. An old programmer who learned K&R C isn't so useful now that C99 and C11 are in the wild unless he's kept up.

    what happened to politicians working for the people?

    Our very own Roy Blunt was asked if he wanted to meet with some local protesters a few years ago who were asking for gay rights. He said that he "doesn't represent those people".

    Your legislators do represent the people, but not "those people".

    Absofragginlutely. If I ever have a house built, I want it to be a prefab factory-built unit that only needs to be assembled on site.

    Sears (the catalog people) used to sell those in the old days. You'd spend between a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars (a long while back!), the house would get shipped via rail and then road to your site, and if you were reasonably handy there's your house.

    Most people aren't qualified to understand the data on their own, or to model it, or do do much of anything besides let scientists filter it and understand it for us.

    The libertarian fantasy that the common man has the time, ability, and motivation to understand any subject is just that, a fantasy, and has no place at the adult table.
