MK2, 74 novaman is really an ok guy. The board has for the last month seen some pretty heavy trolling by newly joined people. He's just feeling a little defensive of Charles which I hope you can learn to forgive most of us for.
I still bid you welcome!
PS: I don't know John Woods either.

Re: CALL TO ACTION: SB905
Welcome to the board, Mike. Technically you are right, in that a hidden reason has no face value, as it is unseen, not declared. Now, if Charles were the face value, I believe in his sincerity. However there are those yet unseen, undeclared within the amendment push. What are their motives and what price is to be paid? That is what I seem to hear you saying, and I cannot say that you are entirely wrong.M2K wrote:...Why should I accept your hidden reason at face value?
Mike
I know everyday people are tired of the Texas politics, but that didn't stop me from voting today. We should participate as best we can when we can. Don't let divisions on either side distract you from thinking your own thoughts. Letting passion overcome reason is not a good thing. Now passion with reason......
I hope you will continue to voice your opinions now that you have joined. I believe you will enjoy it even more than before.

For the evening crowd......sugar land dave wrote:This bill seems rather imperious to me. It's whole notion seems just "wrong-headed" as my father would have said. I could compare the current situation to an Emperor's court throwing a party for themselves while their people suffer. When faced with the public outcry for the Legion to remind the Palace that they exist to serve the people, the Elite invite a few Centurions to the party and suggest that in a few years they'll let the rest of the Centurions attend a similar party.
I know that's the way Texas politics work. I know that sometimes they are in effect telling me I must kiss a pig. I shouldn't have to like it just because they put some lipstick on it.
I love this country. I work in support of it each day, as do most on this board. Some times I just ponder if those at the top occasionally become as wonderful yet uncaring as Marie Antoinette.
Let me also say that I personally never had any interest in this bill. From the start I assumed those in Austin would take care of themselves. To them I would say, "Just do what you normally do, and..... forget the lipstick."
I am not a lawyer or politician, just one of the people who believe that the country is the people, not the ground they stand on. May God bless the American people, those in Texas, and especially Charles and the Moderators for allowing me the freedom and the place to comment.

Re: CALL TO ACTION: SB905
Bonus points for you for the correct usage of the words "actualization" and "egregious." You have my "Bravo!"CWOOD wrote:... It infringes on our rights of self actualization and we cannot permit this sad state of affairs to exist. These facts are all the more egregious considering the fact that we cannot all carry all the time and everywhere.
PS: you should read my above post on page 4 about kissing a pig with lipstick.
