I'd like to think it was the Power of the Zomby.

Of course, I am a bit of a self-aggrandizing jerk, but still...

The powers of the Zomby are ineffable, to be sure, but I didn't think it included the ability to pump up Google rankings.

Fascinating.

I don't really have anything novel to say, I don't think. Obviously, this is unacceptable. Obviously, the complaints about "lack of training" are ridiculous, because every military servicemember gets mulitple training iterations about the Laws of Armed Conflict and the Geneva Convention agreements. Obviously, everyone involved needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Obviously, these soldiers failed the Iraqis and the United States by perptrating these evil acts.

I would like to provide a few of my thoughts, though. Maybe you'll find something useful in them.

First, the General is absolutely responsible. She will probably get away with a reduction in rank and an option to retire, but she should be subjected to a court-martial. Some might say she didn't know what was going on, and couldn't have known what was going on. Bull. It's her job to know what was going on. She is to ensure her orders are carried out, and even the distance of the chain of command should not be allowed to prevent her from knowing the conditions of the people in her charge.

Second, this is going to add fuel to the campaign to get the US, and particularly the US military, subject to the International Criminal Court. This was the worst possible thing to have happen, and the worst possible place and time.

Third, this is the face of humanity. Everyone looks at what the Germans did to the Jews and points fingers at the evil of the Germans. They would never do such things themselves, of course. Again, bull. We are all part of the mob, and we do things in groups that we would never do alone. We do things in anonymity that we would never do in front of our mother or our kids or our friends.

I'll tell you how this happened:
Most of the people involved in this are not any more evil than you. It got out of hand, and when it started going too far, no one spoke up and said, "Hey, knock it off!" It was always easier to go along with it than to speak up.

Well, then, would someone like LT Smash have done this? No, but not because he is anything special, rather because he has shown (if you remember one of his first stories he wrote about from Iraq) that he has the courage to stand up to bullying tactics by superiors. Would I have done this? I don't think so...not because I'm anything special, but because I have the courage to stand up in my workplace and tell people to knock it off when the language becomes unprofessional or the jokes become off-color...so I think I would stand up to and stop the abuse.

But it's Mob Mentality, folks. It brings out the worst in all of us. Most people in the same situation would have done the same things. Think about it. Search your heart. Have you ever made fun of someone because everyone else did? Have you ever been so frustrated you hit the wall? ...or a pillow? ...or yelled at your kid? Then you have within you the character flaw that helped these soldiers take out their frustrations on the Iraqis.

So am I excusing them? No. Not just no, but Hell no. Character flaws can be eliminated once you admit them. You can develop the courage to do the right thing, even if no one else is. These people lacked the moral courage to stand out, do what was right, and stop what was wrong. They need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If they can single out the people who thought up some of the more depraved acts, I wouldn't object to capital punishment. Sure, it would suck to be executed or in prison for life for making an error in judgment on what was okay to go along with....but I don't care. We need to use this tragedy as an opportunity to show everyone (other soldiers, citizens back home, Arabs, Iraqis, the world community, everyone) that actions have consequences.

One commenter at John Cole's Balloon Juice said we need to root this out of the military. We can't. It's in human nature. Does anyone think that for some reason all the sickos just happened to be assigned to the same unit? No. Take any group of people, and if no one has the courage to stand up and say, "Knock it off! This is wrong!", then it would happen with anyone.

On the other hand, I don't think the US Army or the US Military at large is full of sick, depraved individuals like this. I think all the people involved followed the path of least resistence, and things sank to the lowest common denominator. That's why I recommend the harshest punishment possible, because the punishment needs to serve as a deterrence and a reminder to anyone and everyone else that they must have the courage to stand up.

I admit, part of my reaction is from seeing the young female soldier in one of the pictures posted in the Balloon Juice post. She doesn't look evil, and females are supposed to be gentler and kinder and more empathetic. Her face shows that it wasn't one depraved individual corrupting others, it was the group effort of a group that had lost perspective. I blame the leadership for failing to provide the sufficient supervision that would have nipped this in the bud.

Moral Courage can be taught. Moral Courage must be taught. We have another opportunity to start now. I pray we don't drop the ball again.

My blog post (Try a visit!)

notes that there was a dual chain of command, with military police & military intelligence. Headed by a female Gen. & a male Col., respectively.

Bad, bad mistake, to have an unclear Chain of Command; and the woman vs inferior man stuff is bad, too.

Hmm, can't seem to find the trackback option. However, thought you would like to know that I mentioned your post at http://messychristian.blogs.com/messy_christian/2004/05/iraqi_prisoners.html.

Great post especially when you said:

I've been trying to tell people just that.

i'm sure we all agree, the war in iraq
was not to free iraq it was purely
for profit .oil.
the u.n.pulled troops from s.africa
from what was 8,ooo leaving 800 knowing
about the planned invasion that
resulted in the massacres in rwanda.
why? because s.africa had nothing to
offer the west in the form of resources
bush is a joke.his campaign financed
by energy companies,pulling out of
the kyoto summit,the florida votes.
need i say more?
bush and his patsy president tony
blair have lost it.
in england we have an impressionist
comedian called john culshaw,he has
a show called dead ringers.check it
out.he parodies bush and blair for
what dickheads they are

I tried that, Nathan. No joy there. Readers simply haven't yet come to trust the Internet as a source of fiction. If I could...but I can't.

Anyway, best of luck with the novel. When it's finished, I'd like to see it.

No, Francis, it wouldn't be an attempt at web-publishing...but at least 5 people have expressed interest in reading it when I'm done. The one person who has read the first few chapters said it was coming along nicely, so offering it to the readers here isn't some way to make any cash, it's just to say "Thanks for hanging with me". A $2 surcharge is just because people don't value things that are free, generally, and if I charge something, then there is a transaction record for legal purposes...plus, a $2 charge clears out the casual individual, making it less likely I might turn around and find my novel published with someone else's name!
Sure, the odds are against me (as they are against any aspiring writer). So what? Someone gets published. And there are good things that don't get published simply because they didn't get in front of the right publisher/editor on the right day...not necessarily that the novel isn't good enough or the system is broken beyond hope. Persistence and obsession seem to be the keys to getting published...
In any case, I'm going to finish this thing for me. I play guitar, but not to become a rock star (anymore); I shoot guns, but not to become a sniper; so I don't necessarily need to become a famous, rich, or even published author to make it worth my time to write.
The way I see it, I've overcome longer odds than these several times in my life. That may mean my luck has run out...it also may mean that I have the ability to pull it off...with persistence. Dunno. We'll see.

Life keeps getting in the way. I can certainly see why you need to write a few novels first before quitting your day job: the discipline you develop while writing the first few around the rest of your life will help prevent you from wasting time surfing the net or building birdhouses when you finally decide to jump into writing full time.

What I'm learning is that I have more time to write than I take advantage of. Every time I sit down to write, I make some progress....so why, then, do I not sit down to write more? I dunno.

Some of it is just timing. I need to let what I've written sink in as I plan the next surge. But part of it is that I simply get frustrated with the slow pace of writing. When reading, I can surge through a large chunk of plot development in 30 minutes. In writing, I'll be lucky if I can get halfway through one scene. This shift in pacing is difficult. So sometimes I just don't want to return to the novel where things are developing so slowly.

Writing a novel is, to me, one of those "A Journey of A Thousand Miles Begins With One Step" things. I feel like I'm not getting anywhere, but when I look back, I'm surprised at the progress I've made so far.

Someone once said that a Fantasy novel is nothing more than a map with some uncertain area labelled "Here be Dragons". Or something like that. I'm not good at verbatim...

...but that's what a novel is like, I think. It is very difficult to hold a complete novel in your head at one moment. You can think of characters, scenes, beginnings, and endings...but there will still be a big vague area in the middle labelled, "Here be Dragons". It is fear of that uncertain area that prevents many novels from being written, I think.

Or maybe I'm just an idiot.

In any case, I'm whittling away at the uncertain area from both ends. The ending is shaping up nicely, and so is the beginning. The middle part, how I get from the beginning to the ending in an interesting and plausible way, that's the hard part for me. But I'm remembering about foreshadowing techniques, character revealing techniques, and reminding myself that the best fiction is "forging character in conflict". That's really helping see me through and keeping me on the path, methinks.

Now take a look at the politicial orientation of the states. (based on predictions for the 2004 Presidential election...it's just for reference, because between voting for President, the affiliations of the Senators/Reps, and the affiliations of state positions, judging a state as Republican vs Democrat can be complicated)

Then take a gander at tax burdens.
Five Highest Tax Burdens:
1. New York
2. Maine
3. Ohio
4. Hawaii
5. Rhode Island
(note: if DC were included, they would be tied for first with New York)
Five Lowest?
1. Alaska
2. New Hampshire
3. Delaware
4. Tennessee
5. Texas
(A slightly different ordering, based on a slightly different criteria, can be found here

Now check out one liberal solution. Surprise! He wants more federal aid.

Draw your own conclusions.

To me, it seems clear that Democrat states, by enacting Democrat policies, increase misery for everyone. Spending always expands to meet revenue in good times, which incurs responsibility for continuing the programs during economic recessions, thus increasing debt or necessitating tax hikes. The taxes are rarely lowered much when the economy improves, because spending expands to meet the increased revenue, creating a vicious cycle that leaves the citizens of the state in bad shape. The middle-class faces high taxes, the lower class gets programs cut after they have become dependent, and the Democrat governers always cut fire, police, and education first as a blackmail attempt to get people to approve higher taxes.

The perfect example of Democrat policy disasters is Oregon.

...many people think of blogging that way: that it is an attempt to get some attention. There are some who would still blog if no one read their site, but I do think, for the most part, we all want people to come by and find our work valuable and interesting enough to return...better yet, to consider our writing good enough to recommend to friends in the form of a blogroll link.

Well, I'm not going to apologize for whining (although I do reserve the right to disparage myself), but I do want to provide a follow-up: my hittage is once again returning to the levels I had right before I stopped blogging: near-100 a day. That's pretty heady levels for me...for too long I was in the 60s/day. Please keep coming by, tell all your friends, and if there is something you'd like to see me blog about, please send an email and ask. I once did some research into the Iraq oil situation for Zombyboy, something I would never have done on my own; I think everyone who was reading me at that time learned something. I'd reprint it, but I'm still waiting for the delivery of my old archives, and it's outdated anyway.

So, if you miss reading my opinion about guns, let me know. If you want more KC Chiefs opinions, let me know.

That reminds me....I haven't written anything about this year's NFL draft. Hmmm.....

I'll tell you right now that I would stop blogging if people stopped reading. I'm not doing it just because I like to write, but because I really like to be _read_.

Maybe it's all a big attempt to find approval from people that I admire and like--I can live with that if it means that somewhere along the way I start living up to my own expectations of my writing.

If they want, they can have our last Georgia state flag, the one imposed by our now-ex-governor that helped make him ex.

It might take some adapting but it should work. They can make the big gold blob in the middle into a background for whatever color of crescent they like, and in place of the "Georgia's History" banner of flags they can put images of the five highest-ranking Deck of Cards faces, each with a little red circle with a slash across it.

Yeah. That'd work. Where do I write to suggest it to somebody?

I think you just did. Not that it will do any good, but at least I like it.

I wonder if they'll reconsider?

Well, up until recently, I've been forced to engage in "defensive reading" of CNN and BBC, in which I throw out anything that isn't actually a fact and try to remain hypersensitized to editorializing juxtapositions.

But Matt Drudge's website (no link, you can find it yourself) has recently been linking articles from apnews.myway.com
I didn't really like AP much before, but they have improved quite a bit. I've really been impressed by the way they merely report the news without trying to score points for liberals. Well, they've recently demonstrated to me that they also are capable of taking the next step and providing unbiased context on contentious issues. Check out this excerpt:

Democrats call Bush's job creation record the worst of any president since the Great Depression. Since Bush took office, 1.84 million jobs have been lost, but after months of dismal job growth, the nation's employers in March added workers at the quickest pace in four years, swelling payrolls by 308,000.

Even so, the unemployment rate inched up a tenth of a point to 5.7 percent as more people were encouraged to start looking for work again but failed to find jobs.

To me, that aptly and fairly sums up both sides views, gives you the actual facts relatively bare of editorializing (although the "dismal" job growth comes close to ruining it...but it's still far better than CNN or the New York Times, overall), letting you make your own decision which aspect is the most important.

That's where I go for news, now.

Cuties!

They have such nice smiles :) They are so precious! Hey, Nathan- what is your little girl holding?

A toy rifle. That's why I encaptioned the post as such.

Aaaaahh- guess I should pay better attention, huh?

This past week while visiting friends, Rob was challenged to putting together an M-16 with his eyes closed. He hasn't done it in 14 years, so he was very pleased to have only peeked once.

He taught me how to shoot 1)an SKS, 2)a 9mm Beretta (?) 3)a bolt action .22 (perhaps they are all such),and 4) some kind of shot gun (nice that I can't recall the proper names, huh, he wouldn't be pleased). He was a terrific teacher. E gets to learn how to use the .22 this year and she is very excited.

Nathan, you better be careful. These photos are liable to end up on Little Green Footballs with the heading, "American Child Abuse."

Bring it on, I say; bring it on.
My kids can probably defend me at a range of 250+ meters already...

Oooooh, I love cats! We have two- a Norwegian Forest (aka long-haired tuxedo) named Isabel; and a Blue Mackeral Tabby (aka a "blue" tabby with unique markings)name Sam.

Yours looks quite content- actually a bit contemplative...

That's just a snapshot. He's very gentle, but I wouldn't really say contemplative...
You'll see more pics over the next few weeks, I promise.
He's called "Lucky" because we feel lucky to have him, and because he acts like he feels lucky to have us. It takes very little petting to make him extremely happy. I think he was neglected too much as a kitten, and I think the shelter was particularly difficult for him.

Excellent cat!

It's true that you can't get pregnant from oral or anal sex (unless ejaculate or pre-ejaculate comes in contact with the vagina or vulva), but having either one without using a condom or other barrier puts both partners at risk for a number of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.

Oh, the horror! It's telling teens that sex has issues and consequences attached! Oh no!

And remember, sex doesn't have to be a part of every relationship … even if you aren't a virgin. You have the right to decide when to have sex — the first time, and always!

Oooooh, my eyes!

Sleeping with a partner just to keep him or her around may raise expectations that you'll always give in to that partner's demands … and that's just plain crazy. Using sex as a tool to keep someone interested is just a bad idea, any way you slice it.

Crazy talk! Make them stop!

Sorry, but those who blast PPA in print often seem to be tilting at windmills. The reality is much less sensational - but that would hardly sell.

For me, the test is: would I want my child looking at this site at age 13?

Good Heavens, no!

I don't think Dawn is advocating the site being shut down or telling everyone to avoid it. She seems to just be trying to spread the word on what is being done below most people's radar, as am I. Heck, if people like that sort of slant and want their children to adopt these attitudes, then they can go right on ahead and bookmark the site for theirr kids, and thank Dawn for letting 'em know!

Things have changed quite a bit in this regard, and not necessarily for the better.

Most of what I eat these days is store-bought and warmed in a microwave. It's not objectionable, but it's not particularly appetizing either. And this despite the fact that both I and my wife are excellent cooks.

It's worth some reflection. Food is life. What do we do when we get unexpected guests? We feed them. It's a recognition of fundamentals, and a reaffirmation of the safety of the guest: he need not fear that we'll poison him at our table.

But Pathmark, or King Kullen, though it might not poison one, could leave him wondering why he eats at all...indeed, why he lives.

This is worth some extended thought.

Good. You underscore the point of this site: to provide fodder for thought.
Along the way I'll give you my opinions, assertions, and impressions....but thought stimulation is the whole point.

Hmmm, food prior to the microwave was healthy? I'm not so sure - Crisco was good for us? :) Sorry, but growing up the son of a Southern mother, I can say our food was prepared with love, even while it was clogging up our arteries.

I'd be more inclined to say that the rise of cable/satellite television, video games, and the internet has done more to keep people on their asses without exertion than much else.

As an aside, I don't think the sharing of food with guests has anything to do with not poisoning them: if they thought you might, they wouldn't be at your table. Rather, sharing food seems more an evolutionary trait to form bonds by sharing a (formerly) scarce resource.

Okay, you got me with Crisco. There is no defending that stuff.

On the other hand, I do lament the loss of the "bacon grease in a tin can" that each homemaker had sitting by the stove for use in cooking and reheating food. The overall civility in society has declined so far since that no longer became the norm that I often joke that there must have been some sort of vitamin in it that we all lack now.

To tell the truth, the original post was a little more Low-Carb oriented...but the more I wrote, the more I realized that obesity has far broader influences than just carbs vs proteins.

I do agree that the nature of entertainment ("I'm going to sit back and do nothing, and you have to entertain me") is probably one such factor...but while I don't think the microwave harms the nutritional value of food, I do think it changed our attitude toward food. Convenience and comfort became too important.

Yeah, this all plays into Gregg Easterbrook's The Paradox of Plenty book, or whatever it is called.

I don't know, Nathan. I was only born in 1972, but I seem to remember that until the early '90's, the big joke everywhere from talk shows to potluck dinners was that the family microwave was a $300 popcorn popper. Also, wasn't it right after the War that everyone thought canned vegetables were "progressive" and fresh foods were for primitive agricultural societies? When we went to my grandparents' for dinner, the menu was invariably canned corn, canned peas, mashed potatoes, and beef cooked until it was good and dead. I have it on pretty good authority that Grandma (may she rest in peace) hadn't changed her cooking style since the I Love Lucy era.

Something else to consider, for the sake of perspective: the Japanese toss plenty of prepared foods and convenience foods down their gullets, but most of them (the foods) aren't nasty and most of them (the people) aren't fat. Part of the difference is that we in America associate "home-cooked food" with the sorts of baked/oven-roasted things that lose their à point appeal when kept and reheated. Japanese food tends toward the extremes: either it's raw on the plate in front of you, or it's been boiled in some briny sauce for hours. Unless you're hungry for tempura, the food you want tends to be easy to take-out in its most fussed-over form, anyway.

There also hasn't been the massive replacement of fat content with sugar content in packaged foods here.

Which reminds me of something I read once (and am trying to reconstruct from memory):

Americans eat lots of pasta and die early of heart disease. Italians eat lots of pasta and live long lives, relatively free of heart disease.

Americans drink lots of wine and eat lots of cheese and pastries, and die early of heart disease and obesity-related illnesses. The French drink lots of wine and eat lots of cheese and pastries and live long lives, relatively free of heart disease.

Americans eat lots of fried food, as well as lots of protein-and-starch meals, and die early of heart disease and obesity-related illnesses. Japanese eat lots of fried food, as well as lots of protein-and-starch meals, and live long lives, relatively free of heart disease.

Forget diet, it's speaking English that kills you.

...which explains why the Japanese work themselves to death to avoid learning how to do it.

The Chinese aren't so skittish about it. I guess they figure if they can survive the Communist Party and its attendent socialist disasters, they can survive something as minor as learning English...
...or, at least learning Engligh badly...[grin]

First, Sadr's uprising occurred nearly simultaneously with the Marines engaging insurgents/terrorist in Fallujah. And yet, most of the country remains fairly stable. Then the bombs went off in Basrah, killing somewhere up to 68 (recent estimates have revised the figure downward...don't remember how far). But the country remains fairly stable... If they can take this level of shake-up without collapse, it's a good thing for the future of the country.

Second, Sadr doesn't seem to be whipping up the support he needs to sustain this. From what I've seen, Sistani is still calling the shots. The Arab world loves a winner, and neither the insurgents in Fallujah nor Sadr in Najaf are looking all that victorious at the moment. I expect the tide to turn and remaining support to erode away rapidly.

Third, Saddam's trial is set to happen. Actually convicting this guy and carrying out the sentence will be very cathartic to the people, and will bring a whole bunch of people off of the fence on to our side.

Fourth, once the sovereignty handover happens on 30 June, it removes any remaining claims to legitimacy any of these troublesome groups might claim. Instead of sticking it to the US, thugs like Sadr will be making things messy for their fellow Shias. Instead of Iraqi cops quitting on the Americans so we can risk our Western butts for them, they'll be defending their own country and their own leadership's safety...someone will be holding some feet to the fire on that aspect, I'm sure. And at that point, it officially becomes impossible to get the US out by causing trouble, because the quicker stability can be ensured, the quicker the US is gone. I don't think President Bush is holding to the 30 June timetable for political reasons in the US, i.e., the election (although it doesn't hurt that); no, I think he is sticking to it for political reasons in Iraq: See? We are keeping our promise and handing your country back over to you!.

We'll see if I'm right, won't we?

So, do most writers count their words?

Good question. I don't know.

This one does, though.

I need some way to judge my progress. At this point, I have an imaginary goal of 50,000 words. If I finish the novel before I hit 50,000 words, fine. If I'm not done at 50k words, also fine. But there is something reassuring to telling yourself, "I'm 1/5th done", or "I just did another 2% of the novel in the last 45 minutes."
Many use Page Counts. Lawrence Block says that if you want to be a writer, you need to do 3 pages every day without fail. My home and work situation makes that unlikely, if not impossible. On the other hand, when I deploy, I should be able to do better than that. We'll see. I plan on finishing before the 4th of July.

...there were already a good number of blogs out there. Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit fame was already pretty much the king.

But now...sheesh! You can see one person's huge blogroll somewhere, then go somewhere else and see an equally huge but 99.9% different blogroll, and then yet another nearly-totally unique blogroll somewhere else.

With this many people talking, do I have anything worth adding? Will my voice add anything of value to the cacophony?

[shrug]

It does make me a little glad I've been at this awhile....closing in on two years, ya know?

On the other hand, I still haven't cracked 20,000 hits...most people hit that pretty quickly after their first year, if not before. And yet, while I like hits for what they say about people who consider you worthwhile, I also am not that concerned about how many I get. Sort of.

To clarify: I was gratified that after a 3+ month layoff, that my hittage was still right at 100/day, a new standard I had just started flirting with when I stopped blogging. Unfortunately, that's quickly tailed off into the 30s-50s, a level so low that I hadn't seen it since leaving blogspot. It makes me wonder what I did wrong, if anything. Are my postings too biased? Too vitriolic? Too banal? Too verbose? Too pedantic or stentorian? Too sesquipedalian? [man, it's cool when you spell that right the first try, eh? --ed.]

But it doesn't matter, actually, because I do have my core readers, many of whom I consider true and dear friends. Meeting and knowing you people makes it all worth it.

And who knows? Maybe some day I'll get back up to 100/day? But don't go do something stupid like link this post and ask people to stop by, k? I would prefer to grow by simple word of mouth, spreading from the like-minded to the like-minded.

I'm HARDLY an expert on the realm of Blogology. (If that's not a word, I'm making it up.) My own little site has managed to remain sequestered in a little tidepool of the World Wide Web; even after 2+ years. When I look at the traffic that Instapundit receives, or sites like ElectricVenom, I'm kinda glad I have my own little clique to write to. (The overly Geeky, moderately-conservative, not-afraid-to-be-labeled Christian type.) [We're a small demographic].

I guess my strategy is to keep my site personal. My ideas, my content, with the occasional rant or rave about something I found terribly interesting which my little tidepool environment might be too sheltered to know about.
The second prong of my strategy is to occasionally jump into the comment fray of other blogs (like this one) and attempt to say something so cuningly astonishing that people have to stop and think.

Or scratch their heads and say "Who the hell is that guy?"

Of course, I always have that enigmatic "Lady-fans-of-Jeremy-Gilby Fan club" which supposedly has bi-monthly meetings; even though I don't answer their E-mail. Apprently you have to be under 18 to join.

Maybe I should stick to entertaining my tidepool...

There are many different ways to blog, and reasons to blog.
I'm still blogging, so I have motivations beyond getting rich and famous from this.

On the other hand, I do think the same drive that makes me want to become a published SF&F writer is behind me wishing I could be more widely read on the blogosphere...

And yet, I don't envy your under-18 fan club...[grin]

I plan to use my blog take over the world. Mostly because I want a harem.

Damn! If I'd known that was your goal, ZB...

Er, hi honey! *ducks and runs for cover*

I plan to use my blog to take over Zombyboy's harem. He can have the rest of the world.

You are making an inordinate amount of your satisfaction dependent on ZB's taste in women, Kevin...Are Zomby (properly mis-spelled, of course!) women really that hot? Seems to me, the hotter the weather, the less so they are...

Anyway, if I take over the world through blogging, I just want establish my control over the Black Butte Porter brewery. And make George Lucas hand over the Star Wars franchise to somebody with better taste/talent/imagination.

I don't know that I'd say "most people" reach any particular level in any particular time frame. There are a lot of factors, including frequency of updates, networking, how long you've had your own domain name (it makes a huge difference) and so on.

Some of us also seem to turn into "portals" to other weblogs, regularly pointing to others, which tends to drive up our traffic. Or we get involved in things that bring in more readers.

By the way, can we get you to join the Liberty Alliance? :-)

Don't pay any mind to my bitching, Dean. I'm not a jealous person when it comes to material possessions...but I am when it comes to attention. [grin]
I can actually point to about a dozen things I've done that probably helps prevent me from getting hittage/attention:
1. Never email stories to Glenn to try to get Instalanches
2. Don't participate in any of the Carnivals
3. Don't participate in any of Venomous Kate's Memes
4. I take breaks from blogging at inopportune times
5. I forget my audience might not agree with me and go off on rants in which I leave no room for anyone else to hold their own opinions

See? I thought of 5 off the top of my head. What can I say? I'm a stubborn cuss.

But one thing this blog is for is to let me talk about whatever I want. One of the prices people pay to see my other stuff is to put up with this sort of whining at odd intervals. I consider that a fairly minor entrance fee... [grin]

I thought about joining the alliance. I just never pulled the trigger. I'll email you to get the info/code later today.

Since zomby women are already moaning long before I get started, it saves on foreplay.

(Gawd, that's just disgusting.)

Simply put, women prefer flexibility and satisfaction over higher pay.

If you take the time to factor in all the aspects, women make 98-99% of what men make when doing the same job at the same point in the career with the same home situation.

The MSNBC article almost glimpses the truth in the end, but chooses to make it into a joke:

Pay Vs. Satisfaction Despite the pay gap, according to several studies, women are actually more satisfied at work!

CareerBuilder.com's recent "Pulse of the Worker" survey found that despite receiving lower raises, fewer bonuses, and having lower expectations for being promoted, women were more likely than men to report that, overall, they are happy with their jobs.

Who said a woman is never satisfied?

See, the first and main factor in the "pay disparity" is children. When you drop out of the workforce for a few years to have children, your pay will suffer. You will be behind. You will have lost seniority, and be behind the "state of the art" in your field. Even if you only take off a few months, just having kids changes priorities for most women. Mothers start looking for flextime so they can be home when their kids get out of school, or have to spend more time with sick children. And it would be interesting, at this point, if you did an internet search on complaints about "workers who are parents" getting more time off than childless workers, particularly during inclement weather. Guess what? It usually isn't the father getting that time off.

And as this article points out:

According to U.S. Bureau of the Census and Bureau of Labor Statistics data, men consistently log more work activity than women, regardless of educational level. In the aggregate, however, women are actually earning more per hour than men.

Heck, one thing not broached in this whole issue is the non-wage compensation. If women get the same health and retirement benefits for less hours, that tilts the whole ball of wax even more in their favor!

But don't take my word for it, look into it on your own. You can continue to swallow the lie whole, or you can educate yourself. Two of the references below are lists of search results. The truth is out there. Will you take the red pill or the blue pill? [okay, that's enough pop-culture references for one day--ed.]
You can make nearly any case you want by citing the "right" statistics. So as you read articles about the "pay gap", pay attention to what the writer leaves out; that's often far more revealing.

This one:

It's a MAS 49/56 semi-automatic battle rifle.

Yeah, it's French. [insert inevitable derisive French jokes here]

But let's be honest, the problem with the French is their government, not their military. It wasn't a lack of bravery that led to the fall of France in WWII, it was incompetent leadership. French artillery has been famous for its superiority for centuries. The French Foreign Legion kicked butt. Napoleon didn't conquer most of Europe with mercenaries, he did it with Frenchmen. The French also led the world in various aspects of small arms development over the last 150 years, including the first of the modern smokeless rifle calibers (the 8mm Lebel). Their FAMAS (known affectionately as "The Bugle") is actually an amazingly effective weapon, for a 5.56mm...

In any case, the French MAS 49/56 is an excellent battle rifle. It has been battle-tested throughout the world in post WW-II French Colonial regions, meaning both South-East Asia and all over Africa. It hasn't been commonly seen in the US until just recently...but ammunition is relatively cheap and plentiful because of the rifle's ubiquitous presence worldwide.

It uses the same direct gas-impingement system found in the M-16, but since tolerances are a little looser, it doesn't have the Black Rifle's jamming problems. It fires a .308-class bullet with a little more powder behind it than the NATO 7.62mm/.308, so the round is powerful and potentially very accurate, and the rifle itself performs within a very respectable 2 Minutes of Angle (meaning shot groups will spread 2 inches for every 100 yards). That means you should still be able to hit a dinner-plate sized target within 300 yards, which is dang good for any non-match-quality semi-automatic rifle.

And you can get them for as inexpensive as $240. At least, that's what mine cost.

For those of you who were reading at my previous site, you'll remember I used to own one of these before. I'm sure you are wondering, What Happened?

Well, I had two, as you may recall: one in the original 7.5mm French, and one in .308 NATO. They both chambered flawlessly, and I couldn't decide which one I wanted to keep. So I put them both up for auction, with the winner getting to choose which one he wanted. I sold it for about $350, and the winner chose the .308 NATO. Then I saw a French 7.5mm rifle for sale on Gunbroker for about $180, and the picture was misleading...it was taken from a distance and didn't show the bolt handle, making it look like a MAS 49/56 with the magazine removed. [frown]. I don't blame the guy, though, because caveat emptor is the law of the land in online auctions. So when I won the auction for it, I immediately sold my other 49/56 in 7.5mm French, thinking that if I sold it for the going rate and picked this one up for less than $200, I came out ahead by about $150. Well, it ended up selling for $300, and then I found out I had purchased the bolt-action MAS 36. Argh!

So I saved my money and watched Gunbroker. Over time, the price of the MAS 49/56 has dropped to the $220-$270 range, and I was able to get mine for $240. If you do all the math, I made money off of all of my transactions if you exclude the bolt-action rifle. We'll see if I can sell it for at least $150 to break even on all my scheming. If not, well, sometimes life's lessons carry a price tag. [shrug]

However, I'll note that Winston Churchill once said that if you are young and not a liberal, you have no heart; whereas if you are old and are not conservative, you have no brain. Clearly, he felt that passion to make the world right is common in youth, and would bring you to liberal ideals; conversely, he assumed, wisdom gained through experience would tell you that liberal ways don't work, and you would eventually support conservative ideals, particularly when you had children you wanted to protect from the depradations of the world.

Well, I was never liberal, and yet I feel have great heart. I've just always been very interested in things that work, especially things that work for the right reasons. The ends don't justify the means, and good intentions mean squat, so I've tried to hold out for the right things done the right way for the right reasons.

It seems to me, though, that to be liberal is to want everything now, and to want everything easy. Complexity and paradox are ignored, and life and people are simple to a liberal.
Is there any way that Socialism can be reconciled to the way people really are? Of course not. Too many people are selfish and greedy and lazy. Not everyone, no, but enough that when you remove any incentive for hard work other than altruism, nothing gets done. Are people dying from not being able to afford preventative care? Implement Universal Health Coverage, and don't worry about the fact that making it universal will mean everyone will use it more and costs will go through the roof.

I have said earlier in this blog, I look for the long-term good. Everything I do with my children is to try to teach them some life skill, not just to keep them quiet and behaved to not annoy me. I am always willing to make sacrifices for some future good. I hate risks, and stick to the safe path in most cases, to ensure that I don't fail in life, to ensure that I won't have to depend on the government dole for my basic needs. I try to take care of myself and my family, because that's the best way for ourselves and the country in the long run. That means I don't get a BMW right now, even though we could afford it. That means I don't start my own business right now, even though I have a few ideas. That means I stay in the military, regardless of the sacrifices I make to do so, because earning my retirement is the best way to ensure financial security for my family.

And yet, I half expect the govt will break its promises to military veterans. After all, they have done so in the past. And so I cultivate my writing ability to perhaps be a professional writer. I continue to work on maintaining my fluency in Chinese, because there are things I could do as an expert on China issues, or as a teacher. I will continue to get higher degrees, because knowledge and skill help you to remain viable in various job markets. I don't just sit back and scream when the government doesn't give me what I want, I go out and find ways to get it myself.

Contrast that with the techniques and arguments used by liberals to avoid welfare reform, to maintain "affirmative action" quotas, to prevent any alteration of the right to abortion on demand. Heck, look at gun control: the accidental shooting death of a child is tragic, yes, but it is an immediate situation, and will most likely not be repeated; and yet, to avoid that tragedy, liberals want to disarm the populace, leaving us eternally subject to the predations of the unscrupulous. There is a minor, short-term benefit to banning guns, but it is to the clear long-term detriment. If my characterization of liberal vs conservative is correct, is it any wonder gun control is a liberal platform?

I'm sure there are other issues in which "immediate" vs "long-term" views correspond exactly with the "liberal" vs "conservative" policy/platform, but I can't think of any off-hand. Anyone care to give any examples that either confirm or contradict my point? Thanks.

...is that little things at one point can really affect stuff at other points. I cannot hold the complete concept of a complete novel in my head, at least not at this time. Maybe professional writers can, I dunno. My character will do something in chapter 3 that reveals more of his character to me, and then I'll realize I can reveal even more of that same aspect back in chapter 1, so I go back and add more, which slightly changes how things proceed, which resolves something I didn't think flowed well enough, and it all turns out better. But if I'd waited to resolve the problem in chapter 1 before moving on, I would never have made it to chapter 3 to think of the resolution.

That's why the NaNoWriMo back in November helped me quite a bit, even tho I barely got 1/10th of the way at that time: it helped me to realize that you should just write, write, write, write, write, write. The more you write, the more you have to cut away to leave the good stuff. You know that old joke about the sculptor and the elephant? Well, I think that's no joke for a writer.

In any case, the most important news? I'm over 10,000 words! I have no idea how many words I'll end up with before I pronounce it "complete", and I'll probably try to overshoot for the reason I just stated above, but I feel like I'm more than 1/5th the way there now. Since this 10,000 words includes only about 6 weeks of actual writing....and much of that in fits and starts that I think I can improve upon, I still think the idea of finishing by Independence Day should be quite doable. Particularly since I'll be deployed much of that time, and being away from the distractions of the daily grind actually helps my writing discipline (although everything else about deploying sucks!).

Let me know if any of these musings on writing help you in your own writing attempt, okay? If you have any other tips, as well, leave 'em in the comments of my most recent "writing" post.

Man, you're just cranking it out--very impressive.

Are we ever going to get to read the thing?

If I shop it around for a year and no one buys it, then I'll send it to all my friends. Probably not until then, but I don't know. I don't want to send it out to ANYONE until it is totally done, because I've had feedback that discouraged me even in the form of a compliment...when the compliment made it clear that the reader wasn't getting what I hoped to get across or where I was going with it.
I may let slip a sample paragraph or two soon...I'd been considering it.

I'll polish and revise later.

I'm finding that the biggest obstacle to writing is...writing.

Yeah, that's so deep it's almost...confusing.

But what happens is that I write something, and then I feel so smug/proud, and then I decide that since I'm back in the saddle, maybe I have some chance to enjoy other fun activities. And before I know it, 4-5 days have gone by without writing.

Ah, well, I have 2 young kids and a stressful job that affect my writing mood. It really doesn't matter how long this novel takes. It doesn't matter, even, whether or not it is ever published. The point is to finish a novel, to hold a complete idea in my mind and practice developing plot, characters, sub-plots, and improving my dialogue and descriptive skills. The second novel will be an attempt to write a top-notch novel, and the third will finally be the one in which I make a serious attempt to establish a writing discipline.

The way I see it, if I can finish a respectable (if not publishable) novel with as many distractions as I have now, it can only get easier. I've learned so much just in this push to get beyond 10,000 words on the first one. I've never written that much before, and I'm encountering situations and issues that are stretching my writing and plotting ability. That will pay off on later novels. I don't need to worry about being a full time writer ever...but at the very least I have a good 10 years to see what I can do as a writer while still working a full-time job. We'll see if I even have a writing career at that point. Maybe not. So what? I'm enjoying myself at this point. If it ever stops being fun, I'll stop doing it.

Oooh-I can't wait to read it. Can I get it signed, too? :)

That's a great deal longer than a blog entry. You've got my respect, for sure.

Rae, I haven't even finished it yet, much less sold it or gotten it published!
If those things happen, I see no reason why I couldn't sign it for you. Heck, who knows? Maybe if I sign one of my books for you, a signed first edition might grow in value over the years to the point where you will only have to pay someone $20 to take it off your hands!

(Granted, you can't just ignore your short-term interest in favor of long-term, or you might have a pretty lousy life that ends just before you start feeling the benefit...)

But I'd like to get away from discussing homosexuality, both because it is a very emotionally charged issue, and because the specific subject is immaterial. The same thought process can be applied to several issues. I'm going to approach this by looking at two concepts not covered in the Bible: smoking and pornography. At the end, I'll try to tie it back in to homosexuality to make my viewpoint clear.

Is smoking a sin? Is pornography a sin? Some people might say that there's no way Jesus could have known about these things because he was fully man. Therefore, it's open territory; you can decide for yourself. Other people might say that Jesus was fully God, and so if he didn't want us to enjoy those pursuits, he could have made it clear in his laws and guidelines. Still other people would use logical transformation and say that your body is a temple, and smoking is bad for it, so smoking is a sin, and pornography is like cheating on your spouse or like premarital sex, so it, too, is a sin.

Some people seem to be natural smokers. From the first puff they enjoy it, and even the patch and nicorette gum and hypnosis can't get them to quit. Others are never tempted. There are many in between, including those who can only quit if someone they love is endangered by it, like a spouse with emphysema or getting pregnant.

Some people aren't tempted at all by pornography. Or, having looked at it in their teens, never look again after marriage. For other people, it's like an addiction, and they risk relationships to look at a photo of a naked person.

These ranges are hard to explain. Maybe there's a genetic component...? Maybe there isn't. Does the natural smoker really have a choice as to whether he wants it? Does he have the choice to not strike the match, to not buy the cigarettes, to not put the cigarette in his mouth? Does the porn-addicted individual have the choice to not turn on the computer, not go to the site?

Obviously, you have the choice over what you do. There are few irrestistable urges, and I would argue those are only found in the insane. Is anyone trying to say porn addicts or smokers are insane? Of course not!

But smoking has been found to have very strong correlations with all sorts of deadly diseases. Not a causation, no... You can't say, "smoke 3,463 cigarettes and you are safe, and on number 3,464 you will contract cancer". Nearly everyone has an uncle who smoked 2 packs a day for 60 years without a problem, right? But I don't think anyone can argue that such a best-case scenario is much use in discussing the dangers of smoking.

Smoking also costs society greatly in terms of increasing health care costs. So much so that states are successfully suing tobacco companies. And tobacco companies, because it was not in their interest to admit the dangers and damage of smoking, did everything they could to obscure and deny any attempt to definitely link smoking and disease. If you showed one study that showed smoking was definitely linked to cancer, they had two that proved it didn't.

Now we know more. It took several generations before we managed to overcome the propaganda efforts of Big Tobacco to the point that we could educate people to not smoke. We didn't have to pass a single law to get smoking down from over 50% of the population down to less than 25%. Interestingly, the anti-smoking ordnances pretty much all came after smoking was reduced, and cannot be said to have had much effect on smoking rates. It was the education that made the difference.

Pornography is a victimless activity, isn't it? I mean, who gets hurt by someone looking at a picture or watching a movie? Heck, some of the stars make lots of money.

Let's ignore, if you will, the connection between being a subject of pornography and substance abuse and suicide. Let's not look at the toll it takes on a small minority of the porn stars. Let's just look at the effect it has on the person.

Looking at pornography changes your attitudes. It places a premium on titillation and gratification. It conditions the viewer to unreal standards, since a photograph can be perfect forever, but a person doesn't always look wonderful and hold a pose for you. Humans are human because of imperfections, but porn sidesteps that. It teaches an attitude of objectification and ownership and exploitation. I've seen a study that indicated viewers of pornography are less likely to view rape as an atrocity. Looking at pornography has a high correlation with rape, sexual abuse of minors, infidelity, and experimentation with bisexuality and homosexuality. Part of that is because it conditions one to a sort of fetishism, in which pleasure is enhanced by extreme arousal by doing something "forbidden" or unusual...and it then takes more and more arousal to achieve the same level of sensation, which leads to a sort of sexual thrill-seeking.

I know all this, and yet I still struggle (and often fail) against the allure of pornography.

Oh, and I don't smoke.

I don't like pornography, really. I don't like smoking. But I don't really approve of smoking bans....at the very least a bar or restaurant should be able to opt out of the ban so smokers have somewhere to go. But I don't think I coudl support the criminalization of pornography or smoking, because people do have the right to make bad choices.

On the other hand, people do deserve to have the best information possible to make their choices. And then all people should be allowed to pay the price for their choices, because you are not well-served by being allowed to avoid normal consequences. And those who suffer from their choices would then be an example for others facing similar situations.

For instance, bankruptcy used to be a bad thing. It was a stigma that followed you forever. That may have been too harsh. But now it is so gutted that people can buy cars and houses just two years after filing for bankruptcy. They are allowed to avoid the normal repercussions of their choices. This is a bad thing, because when too many people declare bankruptcy, creditors lose money and then have to charge everyone else more to make up for it....it's a drag on the economy as sure as taxes.

I should think that the parallels between smoking, pornography, bankruptcy, and homosexuality should be pretty clear. Just in case, though, I'll spell it out.

No one knows if homosexuality is genetic destiny or not. Anyone who says they do is lying or fooling themselves. You can't really take homosexuals word for it, because they have a vested interest in denying their own responsibility. My own investigations seem to indicate that there may be a genetic component that leads to a predisposition, but it takes certain circumstances to bring it into completion, and even then, the person can always go straight. It wouldn't be easy, and would probably take a few years of rigorous behavior modification techniques, and sexual pleasure might never be as great, but it is possible. The number of people who have successfully made the choice to go straight indicates that. The studies claiming to show a genetic indicator of homosexuality have all been flawed, usually in the area of self-election of control groups.
All that being said, there is nothing exceptionally evil or depraved about homosexuality. It is one way people try to find happiness in this world of pain, this vale of tears. Unfortunately, it is a path that usually leads to greater pain, but they are too busy trying to insist they are happy while blaming society for their problems that they don't really see it until it is too late, if ever. In that, it is no different than any other sinful choice, like living for money or being heterosexually promiscuous or being addicted to pornography or always lying your way out of trouble or lusting after everything your neighbor has.

So what I would like is more research into the nature of homosexuality. It may be impossible to get unbiased research (remember Big Tobacco?), but it would be helpful to understand more completely the causes of suicide (strangely, derision from other homosexuals for femininistic traits is the main cause for the suicide rate currently being higher than in the days of outright persecution back in the 50s) and rates of substance abuse among homosexuals. It would be good to know why so many male homosexuals forgo safe sex when the dangers of HIV are so well documented. It would be really great if we could drop Politically Correct requirements to canonize minority groups so we could ascertain exactly what the problems and costs of homosexual behavior are. Once those are determined, it would be nice if the screaming nutsos could be quiet long enough for that to be disseminated throughout society in an education campaign.
No laws against homosexuality should be passed. I would be the first to protest such laws, because people should be allowed to make bad choices, remember? But they should also be allowed to pay for them.
If HIV drug costs are too high and insurance companies do a cost/risk analysis and determine it is too expensive to include them in health coverages...well, tough. That's the result of choices. On the other hand, if enough people get HIV that the demand for anti-retro-viral drugs allows economy-of-scale price reductions (as it has), great! I have to admit, my suspicion that the SSM push was mostly a cover to get boyfriends onto your employers health plan before the onset of AIDS was allayed significantly when I found out that the "AIDS Cocktail" is now down to only a few thousand dollars a year.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised to find out something no one expected: that some percentage of homosexuals truly cannot ever change, but another significant percentage can change to straight with a minimum of non-invasive adjustment and that it's the ones who can change who are the most vocal about "not being a choice" because they are trying to live according to the ideal of someone they admire who really didn't have a choice. Or something like that. Wouldn't it be nice to know, rather than having to scream opinions at each other that are mired in half-truth and poorly understood situations?

What I'm really most upset about is that we can't investigate the issue anymore, nor can we even talk about it. I'm sure that since I dared to say something negative about homosexuality, I will be called a homophobe. I'm sure that I will be delinked by someone because I dared to compare homosexuality to smoking. I'm sure someone out there now absolutely hates me because I voiced the opinion that I'd like for society to discourage homosexual behavior.

[shakes head]

And that's exactly the problem. I don't consider myself above homosexuals, I consider them merely a self-identified group with a specific sin, just like I have my specific sins. Maybe the difference is I repent of my sins and try to change and improve....but every time I fail, I recognize no one is better than anyone else, no one is more perfect than anyone else. We are all just trying to find some sort of lasting happiness. But if someone I cared about was doing something I thought was a bad/harmful choice, you bet I wouldn't stay silent. In the end, I'd stand aside and let 'em do it, because they have the right...

Just having a right doesn't mean it is a good idea. Likewise, being tolerant doesn't mean being credulous. You can quote me, if you wish.

My biggest problem with pornography besides just being female in general is mainly that i never see the role reversal pornography. I mean, sir, how would you feel if almost every major porn site you frequently visited(just because it was alluring) all of the sudden showed videos and pictures of men engaging in sexual intercourse with women, while the women screamed dirty, sexist, demeaning slurs at the man, and when the man climaxed, he climaxed all over his own face, getting everything in his own mouth, the women thus looks over at him smiling, and says, "That's my .....

imagine that

Diane,
That's exactly what I don't like about it...not that there's not role reversal (although what you describe does happen in S&M roleplaying, I think), but that p0rnography reduces women to that of an object for men's gratification.

However, I've made this point before, but women have p0rnography, as well: most romances reduce men to the role of an object dedicated to gratifying women's desire for wealth, comfort, and adoration. It may not be graphic, it may not be anywhere near as demeaning, but it does distort reality nearly as much.

Although that doesn't excuse p0rnography for men.

I think the first mistake people make is confusing our invasion of Iraq with our continued presence there. To me, they are two largely separate levels of the same war.

I am firmly convinced that the reason we invaded was specifically to make the United States and the world safer. In the wake of 9/11, we needed to

If you look at Libya's actions with coming clean on WMD, it has done that.
If you look at how violence has declined in Israel/Palestine, pretty much simultaneously with the cutting off of Saddam Hussein's $25,000 payment to families of suicide bombers, it has done that.
If you look at the number of known terrorists apprehended or killed in Iraq, it has done that.
If you look at the number of terrorist training camps in Iraq that have been shut down, it has done that.

We could leave right now and have accomplished the most important and most pressing mission: removing a terrorist supporter/enabler. To me, that's why the "Mission Accomplished" banner was and still is entirely appropriate. We did what we needed to do for this stage of the GWOT.

However, one thing you'll hear (read? -ed. whatever -nathan) me harp on constantly is "taking the long view". In the long term, we need to show the forces for instability in the world that we have the determination to risk our blood and treasure to oppose them, and we need to ensure that we do not lightly surrender territory to the forces of chaos.

So if you accept that Iraq's invasion was necessary as a major battle in the GWOT (which I know many people do not), then you can see that as meeting a tactical or operational goal: it hurts the enemy's ability to fight or hurt us. But remaining in Iraq is a stregic goal, or even a goal of Grand Strategy. In moving pieces around the world in our real-life game of Risk, we must retain Iraq as a headquarters of stability. Strategic goals take some time to bring about. Strategic goals mean breaking the enemies will to fight. Iraq alone won't do that, no. But if we stay the course there, if the people begin to actively back us, if their police and military begin to feel it is worth their life to oppose the foreign fighters and thugs, then the forces of instability will have to retreat and choose other battlegrounds.

When I use the terms forces of instability and forces of chaos, I am trying to drive the point home that there are large swaths of territory in the world where the rule of law does not prevail. There are places in which only the strength of your arm, the accuracy/reliability of your weapon, and the ruthlessness of your demeanor keep you alive. There are places where lives are bought and sold like livestock, where you can buy and sell nearly anything, where slavery is in practice, where a person could hire a private army and establish a personal fiefdom. Robber Barons are alive and well in places like Somalia, parts of Indonesia, the Phillipines, Central Asia, and the States/areas bordering the Sahara. It's easy to forget that government does not extend into the shadowlands, especially when you live in the wonder that is the United States. While we argue about whether homosexuals can get married or not, and how youth of today will pay for the elderly to live a life of luxury, children are sold to spend their lives for the amusement of the depraved.
Iraq was one of these lands of shadow. It still is, in places...but those areas are shrinking, for the most part. It isn't a smooth, inevitable process, obviously.

We in the West, in our plenty, ignored the plight of the weak and the meek in these Gray Territories (I believe that's the official term...). It is truly ironic that it took a mere 3,000 deaths in the United States to wake us up to how truly dangerous the world is beyond our doorstep; I'm sure more than that die every day at the hands of those who scorn compassion and civilization. It is truly ironic that it is a conservative President who leads the charge to clean the muck out of the world before it can swallow new locations. It is truly ironic that the "liberal" fight this process tooth and nail, that they care nothing for the suffering in the rest of the world until they can first ensure that US jobs won't be outsourced and taxes can be raised on the evil, selfish rich.

Which is unfair, I know, because humans are not capable of maintaining a tight focus on all issues, and it is human nature to notice and care more about things that affect you directly.

However, these are the terms upon which I argue for the GWOT. These are the terms upon which I base my support of President Bush's actions and goals. These are the terms upon which I am proud to serve in the US military: we care about more than just our own petty interests.

Tell me how defeating the Partial Birth Abortion Ban is more important than this. I dare you.

Oh, I'm saluting! Great post, Nathan. Couldn't have explained it better myself...

1. Yes. I willingly and uncomplainingly gave up being at home for my 6th Wedding Anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's to work 12-hour shifts for 65 days straight (no days off) in order to support this action. It is a necessary step in the Global War on Terror. In fact, even though I just got back in January, I volunteered to go early again. This time it looks like I'll get to miss my birthday, my wife's birthday, and Independence day. But I'll be celebrating Iraq's independence, so it will be worth it.
2. Andy, simple questions are best. Within the very first line of this question, you distorted the issue. We are in Iraq for several reasons. We have already eliminated a significant source of funding for terrorism in the Levant and the world. We have eliminated multiple training locations for international terrorists. We stopped a depraved butcher from slaughtering his own people and continuing his own plans to someday attack the US on its own soil. That's now: we pulled up the weed. Now we are spending time there to bring about an environment that will prevent such a noxious weed from springing up again. We've already won the most important, quickest, and most difficult part of the battle there. Now we face a test of wills, and patience, and restraint. We are winning this phase of the war, too, but it doesn't always look like it in the middle of the battle, just like the Battle of the Bulge you took part in.
3. Another distortion. The US Military allows an unprecedented latitude to the commander in the field, the guys with boots in the dust. Nice attempt to draw a Viet Nam parallel, but while that might float in the toilet, it doesn't float here. To address the basic issue, however: yes, our leaders have made some mistakes, because no one is omniscient or omnipresent or omnipotent. They've also made some stunningly correct decisions. Despite the "unbiased" media trying to politicize the deaths of soldiers, the death toll for the entire year is still far less than was originally predicted we would lose just tring to reach Baghdad. Try to have some perspective, will you? If that's too hard, at least try to remember the cockamamie predictions of disaster you armchair generals had at the beginning, will you? You lost credibility a long time ago; sniping and carping does nothing to bring it back.
4. If you really wanted to learn anything, rather than just trying to score cheap points with a "Have you stopped beating your kids yet?" blatant cheap shot, you might ask, "Would you prefer a medal or a ticket back?" You'd be suprised at the number of guys who would rather continue fighting for the US there. Sure, there's always some who don't. Selfless Service is the military ideal, but sometimes it takes a few years for the individual to actually adopt that attitude. But we are a team. I'm going back, willingly and ahead of schedule. If confronted with the enemy, I'll fight like hell to make sure he's the one who doesn't go home again, but if fate results in my death, it is a willing sacrifice. You may spit on my grave, but my children will know who the hero is.
5. We don't do it for the glory and thanks, no. We do it for the well-being of the nation, the safety of our loved ones, and the Brotherhood of War. But we do accept thanks from anyone who can do it without a sneer. We don't need any of your false gratitude.

Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!Vietnam!
There's a classic lib argument.

Nicely done. I'll say it again -- you may not WANT my thanks and undying gratitude, but you have it.

I know all too well what you're sacrificing for the good of all.

Weeeellllllll....
It's not that I don't enjoy thanks. And knowing your experiences, your thanks means a lot.
It's just that my "sacrifices" are mostly just annoyances. No one has ever aimed a weapon at me. No one has ever tried to kill me (although my co-workers have probably considered it at times...).
I remain willing to risk my life, but to date, the military has not seen fit to place me in that sort of situation.
[sigh]
So when I get thanked, I really want to just pass the thanks along to the people who really deserve it. Like Blackfive and Citizen Smash and Sgt Hook and the guy over at Iraq Now (can't remember his name). These people back up their words with their own life and well-being. I just have to put up with cafeteria food for 6-8 weeks at a time.

Now, we all know liberals who aren't violent. Who would never consider using violence to bring about their goals. Obviously, we cannot hold them accountable for what their crazier comrades do or say, any more than I can be held accountable for what Pat Buchanon says or what white supremacists do. [...however, that is precisely why I bought rifles: to have a way to hold them accountable...}

On the other hand, the record of the left is inescapable: more people dead as a consequence of leftist regimes in the range of 50 million dead by starvation in China and the USSR alone (...how many in Cambodia and North Korea...?) Okay, those were inadvertant. Nobody on the left actually intended for them to die, right? Well, except for maybe Stalin and Mao, et al. That was liberalism improperly applied. The intentions are pure, so the mistakes are excusable.

I see the logic of that. For instance, look at the death and misery caused by Christianity inaccurately applied. And yet, and yet...I still find it an argument sadly non-compelling, because of other historical realities.

Take a look at the French Revolution. The revolutionaries were liberal, and were pushing for more freedom. The only problem is that using the language of revolution and freedom, successively more liberal groups were able to seize control and the first thing they did each time? Execute the former leaders who weren't "liberal" enough. They justified it by saying the previous leaders were standing in the way of freedom. And yet, the French Revolution was still a bloodbath, and the majority of the dead were not the nobles, but the populace themselves who found the movement shifting farther and farther left.

The extreme right is still responsible for more direct deaths than the extreme left, yes. Even broken up in components, Timothy McVeigh alone probably exceeds the number of deaths in race riots. The KKK killed and terrorized its share of people, and ELF and PETA will probably never even come close, even at their worst.

But the increasingly violent actions and rhetoric on the part of the liberal extreme is troubling to me, as is the lack of condemnation from the less-extreme left. I found it increasingly troubling that Dean attracted followers through his "anger" at the establishment. I was gratified that when it led to a rather embarassing verbal explosion that many of his followers melted away...but the rage component is still there.

It's still there in examples like the attempt to intimidate Karl, in the "Bush=Hitler" assertions, in the increasingly prevalent unwillingness to accept that the Bush Administration can be mistaken without having lied or misled (much less the very real probability they were correct about Iraq), in the original refusals to accept that President Bush might actually have noble and worthwhile goals in pursuing the Global War on Terror and his decision had nothing to do with oil profits. I wonder what violence is going to occur by "peace" protests at the upcoming International Monetary Fund conference in Washington DC.

And I fully expect no one the left will even say one word in condemnation.

My conclusion is that while the bulk of Democrats/lefties/liberals may not encourage or condone the increasingly violent rhetoric and actions, their unwillingness to confront, shame, and expunge such extremists from their ranks establishes a very dangerous situation in potentia. This potential situation is based on the mob mentality model as demonstrated in liberal revolutionary periods such as the French Revolution, the post-war anti-capitalist movements in China, and any situation in which stimulating rage is a tool to gather power. I fear for the future of America if this boil is not lanced.

Good post Nathan.

Totally off-topic: that light blue in your blockquote box is really hard on the eyes. May I suggest going a shade or two darker on the text?

You may suggest anything you wish. Getting me to act on it, though, is an entirely different story.

[grin]

Sure. It's just leftover from my previous blog. I'm still learning all the style stuff, with lotsa help from Madfish Willie. Part of the problem is that my laptop, work puter, and home desktop all render the colors slightly different.

I'll change it it to a light grey... or we could change it like I re-did mine over at MAdfish Willie's.

I darkened the text, and I'm fairly happy with it.
At this point, I'm not all that concerned about a really coherent color scheme, as long as it's readable for everyone.
In a way, I almost like the idiosyncratic appearance that I have now. It certainly makes me unique.
But I'll tweak it as I go, because I do need to learn this myself. The functionality is the most important thing to me.
Speaking of functionality, I can't find my hand-coded bloglist in the template anymore...so if I wanted to add a few more or re-arrange it, where would I go?
Also, the comments window doesn't seem to remember my personal info, which is kind of insulting since this is my blog... [wry grin]

You deleted the hand-coded bloglist. I'll see if I can find it again. As for the comment thingy, ask Pixy, sometimes I have the same problem on other blogs... eventually it remembers. I'll look at the code real quick to make sure there's nothing funky in it.

Your deleted blogroll is in the Default Main Index at the bottom of the edit templates page. Just cut what you need from the Sidetitle div down through the end of the Side div. Then paste it into the Sidebar module where you want it to show up. Let me know if you need any help.

I checked the comment template and everything looks fine. So, I'd ask Pixy what's the gig.

If you want a gun for home or personal defense, that will lead you in an entirely different direction than if you want to shoot at paper targets a few times a week, every week.

A shotgun is supposedly best for home defense. A pistol is almost as good, and can also work well for personal defense outside your home.

If you want to have fun making holes in paper, you probably want a .22 rifle, because you can plink away at distances up to a hundred yards for about a penny a shot, and the rifles themselves don't cost much, either.

If you want to hunt large game, you need a rifle, probably bolt-action. But the cost of the rifle is only the first consideration, because the more you shoot, the more ammo you need. You can expect to spend between $.10 and $.40 a round to practice. Some rifles will be more expensive with cheap ammo, some will be cheap with expensive ammo, and some will be cheap with cheap ammo. Cheapest is best, right? But the reason for variations in price is different rifles will vary in accuracy, recoil, reliability, workmanship, availability…

Let's look a little closer at the issues:

Home Defense.
Most people claim that a shotgun is best for home defense. When you consider that a shotgun spreads out a great deal of lead over a wide area, but the power of that lead drops off rapidly with distance, that line of thinking becomes clear. You increase the chance of hitting the intruder and hurting him badly without much risk of the shot penetrating walls to injure a family member or neighbor. Yes, some powerful rifle rounds will penetrate the outer walls of a home.
But it's not that simple, because some people cannot handle the recoil of a shotgun. You can't keep a shotgun in a nighstand drawer very easily, and the length can be unwieldy if you have to cover more than one person. It's also not as convenient for outside the home.
So if you consider a pistol, you have to still consider that the larger rounds can still easily penetrate the inner walls of a house. Again, some people may not be able to handle the recoil of a larger pistol. If you decide on a really light round, like a .22, you get a pistol that is easily controllable and precise in shooting…but you risk not being able to actually stop the intruder with one or even multiple shots. Generally, a 9mm represents the best combination of stopping power and lightness of recoil.
But don't just go out and buy a 9mm pistol! If you are going to keep the pistol by your bed without using it for months or years, then reliability is an issue. Even the best automatics sometimes jam or fail to fire. The best thing about a revolver is you can neglect it for years, but when you pick it up and squeeze the trigger, it still fires.
But that's about all I know about pistols. Your best course of action is to go to a gun store related to or collocated with a firing range, one that will let you try out guns before you decide to purchase. Even simple things like the angle of the grip or the convenience of the safety switch may help you decide which is best for you. Some guns are better for people with small hands, some are better designed for bigger people. Try out several before you finalize your decision.

But I know rifles a little bit better.
As I've said before, if you want to just make holes in paper, a .22 is your best bet, mainly because they are cheap and reliable, and the ammo is cheap. But they are useless for anything else. Sure, you could use a .22 rifle for home defense, but the problems of stopping power, jamming, unwieldiness due to length, etc, would make a .22 revolver far better for that sort of thing. A .22 rifle should pretty much just be to work on marksmanship skills, because you can shoot quite a bit for pennies.
But there are other choices, as well. NATO ammunition is plentiful enough to be pretty cheap. Both 5.56mm and 7.62mm NATO can be found for about $.10 a round, so you can get a good amount of shooting in for less than $5. (Although you may need to buy in bulk of several thousand rounds to get the price that cheap).
Unfortunately, most of the rifles that fire fire NATO ammunition of either size are fairly expensive (with a few exceptions I will detail below). This is because they are semi-automatic modifications of military weapons for civilian use, but retain the military reliability and reputation. M-16 clones will cost you in excess of $800 new; M-14 variations will cost you more than a thousand; semi-automatic Stery Augs and FN-FALs can cost more than $2000. To me, that's a high price to pay for cheap ammo. But you get good quality rifles, so it's a personal choice.

I prefer pre-WWII military surplus bolt-action rifles. They are plentiful due to being mass-produced for various armies. Ammo is generally cheaper for the same reason. They have a tangible sense of history attached (they aren't making 50-year-old rifles anymore). They use ammunition that is powerful enough for hunting or militia/apocalypse scenarios, and are usually quite accurate.

A note on accuracy: Generally, bolt-action rifles are more accurate than semi-automatic. Further, 5.56mm rifles are usually accurate to about 400 yards. Larger rifles, including 7.62 NATO and the various WWII-era calibers are often accurate enough for use with a scope up to 1000 yards! To tell the truth, you usually cannot see a human past about 300-350 yards without some sort of magnification, and even most deer are spotted and shot at less than 150 yards, and you wouldn't want to try a shot beyond 200 yards unless you are very experienced *and* skilled. So long-range accuracy is perhaps not that important…but I like the idea.

A note on power: a 5.56mm round is usually considered too weak to kill a deer. If you are going to hunt large animals, you must have something larger, usually at least the Swedish 6.5x55, even better to have something in the 7.5mm (.30 caliber) range. That's a little simplistic, though, because the bullet weight and cartridge powder capacity have as much effect as the bullet diameter… The most important point is that the 5.56mm rifle is generally considered to be best for varmints, marksmanship practice, and suitable for use against humans in a survivalist/militia/apocalypse situation.

You'll hear me mention "mauser" many times in talking about rifles. This is because Mr. Mauser designed what is nearly the perfect bolt action system more than 100 years ago. If you purchase a modern rifle, brand new, with all the benefits of 100 years of experience and computer-assisted design, you will get a bolt action system virtually indistinguishable from a German K98 Mauser.

For all the above reasons, and particularly the reasons of cost and historical significance, I like the pre-WWII military surplus bolt-action rifles.

They have demonstrated their effectiveness against humans (obviously), but are also excellent for hunting larger game. There is some variation, in that the Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55 is too small for larger deer and elk, and the largest rounds (the German 8x57mm) might be too big for smaller deer, but pretty much every caliber is versatile enough for multiple functions.

(I apologize for my continual reference to killing humans. However, most large cities are less than 48 hours from mass starvation, and thus collapse. Plus, The Turner Diaries presents a chilling view of what armed white supremacists plan to do, and I want to make sure there is an armed force to oppose such idiots)

So pretty much any old military surplus rifle will do? Not much difference between any of them, right? Not so fast.

Right now, I have 8 distinct old military rifle types (12 total rifles), and their respective strengths render me unable to bear parting with any of them. Here's why:

Russian M44, 7.62x54r
This is a good rifle, durable, reliable and essentially the same rifle used by Russian snipers in WWII…and while it is not one of the ones chosen as being of top-notch accuracy, it is surprisingly accurate. Lots of cheap ammo available, but the ammo is corrosive. The best part of this rifle is it has an integral bayonet, so I like it as a Civil Chaos weapon. Strong recoil, though. I have to use a recoil pad with it.

Swiss K-31, 7.5x55
I have two of these because the price was right. These rifles have a reputation for astounding accuracy, of sniper level quality. If you are a good marskman, you can hit at 400 yards with iron (open) sights what other rifles would need a scope to hit. It's made like a, well, Swiss watch, and if you built a new rifle to this level of tolerance, quality, and accuracy, it would cost you close to $2000. But you can get 'em for as cheap as $120...
They have never made corrosive ammo for this rifle, which is a nice bonus. If you like the historical angle, while these rifles haven't been used in war, they do have the name, unit, and sometimes home address of the reservist soldier who used it last (and took it home with him). Some people have been able to make contact with these people.
It is in the .30-06 class of round, quite powerful, and a pretty good recoil. Ammo is fairly expensive, though, so I'm planning on handloading rounds myself to save money.

Argentine Mauser, 7.65mm
I can't let go of mine because it is an 1890 rifle, 114 years old!!, and yet in still beautiful condition with unmarred wood and new-looking metal. The nice part about it is, from my viewpoint, that even though the bullet is slightly larger, the recoil I feel shooting it is much milder than the Swiss or the Russian.

Swedish Mauser, 6.5x55
When they talk about this rifle having the best workmanship, they aren't joking. Often, the wood of the stock might be beat up, but the action is smooth on all three of my Swedish Mausers. 5 years ago you could have bought excellent condition Swedish Mausers for less than $100. The first one I bought was purchased at a time when no one selling, though, and it cost me $300. The 2nd, a shorter-length M38, was also $300, but had a new stock and was drilled and tapped for a scope, so it was worth it. The third one was purchased after someone dropped a bunch of 'em on the market again, with badly scarred stocks. I found one that wasn't that bad, with a near-perfect bore, for just $240, so it was worth it. I expect to wear out one of the longer rifles by shooting it bunches, and having the second rifle as a back-up. I'll add the scope to the M38 for my only scoped rifle.
The recoil of the 6.5x55 is quite mild, but the rifle is designed for a very long, heavy bullet, so it is still a very useful bullet for deer. Or people. Ammo is pretty cheap and plentiful, too. When you combine the extremely light recoil for such a legitimate battle cartridge with the excellent workmanship, you end up with a weapon reknowned for accuracy. Not as accurate as the Swiss K-31, but not as hard-kicking, either. While the Swiss K-31 can make groups smaller than 2" at 200 yards, the Swedish Mauser would be more like 2.5". Most other rifles would be within 3-4" at 200 yards.

(This is referred to as an MOA (minute of angle) measurement. If a rifle is of MOA accuracy, it will spread 1" for every 100 yards, i.e., 4" at 400 yards. A sub-MOA rifle would be very accurate, and the K-31 is one such rifle. Most bolt action rifles come close but don't reach MOA accuracy, and most semi-automatic rifles are about twice that, spreading 2" for every 100 yards of distance)

Egyptian Mauser, 8x57
This is my most powerful rifle, and this rifle itself is in nearly unused condition. I may want to hunt elk someday, and would want the most powerful round to make sure I don't fail to get a kill merely because of the bullet size/power. It's also nice to know that this will be my rifle from start to finish. I think everyone who wants to collect and hunt with old rifles needs at least one 8mm rifle. German 8mm Mausers (the K98) were quite popular, and there have been Russian-captured German Mausers claiming to have all the markings and being in excellent condition for less than $200, but for the most part, it seems as if the genuine surplus German rifles have all been purchased, meaning the price for a good quality one is approaching or exceeding $500. Not worth it to me when I can get Czech or Yugo or (as I did) an Egyptian Mauser for less than $200.

Spanish Mauser, 7.62 NATO (.308)
I actually did attempt to sell this one earlier as superfluous…but when it didn't sell immediately for the price I wanted, I withdrew it from consideration, because it could eventually be useful or even vital to have a rifle that can fire such an inexpensive and easily found caliber. I'll probably be buying a case of 1000 rounds for less than $90 soon; once I use that all up, there most definitely will be a positive effect on my marksmanship skills!

British SMLE, .303
The round isn't anything special. It isn't especially inexpensive, or amazingly accurate or anything. It is a good, proven rifle, though. The action on the SMLE is smooth and fast, to the point that when used in battle, some opponents thought the British were firing a semi-automatic rifle! A nice extra bonus is that most of the WWII-era rifles have only 5 or 6 round magazines, but the SMLE has room for 10! I can imagine that in some situations it might be nice to have 4 extra rounds without reloading.

AR-180, 5.56mm
Inexpensive, plentiful ammo. Not good enough for hunting anything edible, nope. But a good round for tactical situations. The only thing about M-16/AR-15 rifles is that they tend to jam if not taken care of well, because the action system uses the gas directly from the barrel to push the bolt back. That means that all the soot/carbon gets blown right on your action, and the tolerances are so close that it doesn't take much before your rifle won't work anymore. The AK-47, on the other hand, uses the gas to push a piston that pushes the bolt, so you don't have the blast of soot/carbon in your chamber to gum up the works. The AK-47 was also made with very loose tolerances in order to be reliable (and cheap)…it also made it far less accurate.
The AR-180 combines the best of both worlds. It has tolerances tight enough to be quite accurate, but uses the gas piston system from the AK-47 so it doesn't jam so easily, even if you don't clean it for several hundred rounds. Recoil is quite light, but still enough stronger than a .22 that you can get used to how the recoil affects your shooting. Plus, it cost less than $600.

I had considered trying to get a WWII/Korean-era semi-automatic rifle, like the US M-1 Garand or maybe a Russian SVT or German, but they all cost in excess of $600. Sure, I could get a semi-auto SKS for less than $150 or AK clone for less than $300, but they have accuracy issues and feature a lighter/weaker round than the aforementioned battle rifles. I feel I'm better off with the AR-180 than an SKS or AK. However, there is one great deal in powerful, accurate, semi-automatic rifles:
The French MAS 49/56, 7.5x54
Despite the jokes made about the French and their weapons, everything I've seen says that this semi-auto rifle is excellent. It was used in French Indo-China, Algeria, and other colonial regions for decades, so not only is ammo plentiful and cheap, but the rifle is tested and well-respected. It does use the direct gas impingement system of the M-16, so I would expect you need to be careful keeping it clean, but if you want a good, strong cartridge in a reliable semi-automatic firearm, this would be your best choice. Because it's cheaper than the others with cheaper ammo…and because the Garand cannot be reloaded until you've fired the entire 8-round clip, whereas the French MAS 49/56 takes a 10-round removable magazine (and 20-round magazines exist out there somewhere…). I may get one someday, if I still feel the lack too keenly. Some are chambered for .308, which makes ammo even cheaper….
Just be careful, though, because there is a MAS 36, and that's a bolt-action rifle of good quality but no clear advantage over any of the other WWII-era bolt-action military surplus rifles listed above, and worse in many cases than most.

Hello! I live in Portugal and here is very complicated to buy a gun, so...
How much a glock

hello there i need this gun for my personal use for my own security bcos thief always disturb me in my country bcos am rich.

just got the sniper variant k-31. it instantly became my favorite piece.the stock is odd though. not the usual k-31 stock. doesn't matter though. its going to get its very own burris 2-7x pistol scope and a harris bipod.

hehehe i just bought a steyr aug!! it can blow the fur off any small fluffy rabbit. blood goes everywhere its cool!! ...if youre into that sort of thing....

I am the owner of two Swedish Mauser rifles. One Model 1938 short rifle, and the other is a Model 1996 full length rifle. although I own a number of rifles the Model 38 is my personal favorite. Soon after I purchased it 20 years ago I added a Lyman aperture sight to the Model 38 and it has always delivered commendable accuracy. I am considering adding some form of long-eye relief scope or red-dot system now that my eyes aren't as sharp as they used to be. Anyone had any good results with either?

While the M-14 and the M-1 before it are still loved by those who are gun aficiandos, they were not without their own problems. I think the problems are adequately discussed in these two articles:

Article One
Article Two

However, one other article I read (in a magazine whose name I unfortunately cannot recall) highlighted one aspect of the 5.56mm round that is absolutely unacceptable.

A modern military fire team needs a range of choices with which to engage the enemy. One such necessity is a light machine gun that can provide all the advantages of fully automatic fire (cover, range, penetration) without the added weight of a medium machine gun or the need to carry special ammunition. FN's Mini-ME (also known as the Squad Automatic Weapon and the M249) is an excellent light machine gun: easily portable, fired from a bipod, reliable, accurate, and using the same ammo as the M-16, which substantially reduces logistic difficulties and can actually save lives by allowing ammo to be exchanged between the riflemen and the SAW gunner.

Unfortunately, the 5.56mm round lacks the power to chew through lighter obstacles like cinder blocks and wooden fences the way a light machine gun should. Additionally, the velocity loss of the 5.56mm round means that the SAW's range doesn't really extend beyond that of the M-16. This is absolutely unconscionable.

You can mitigate the shortcomings of the 5.56mm round in the M-16 by being able to carry more, by allowing some troops to use the M-14, by issuing grenade launchers to kill/disable enemies beyond 150 meters. But there is no way to overcome the disadvantages of the 5.56mm round in the M249 without bringing along an M-60. That simply isn't an option in some situations.

The XM-8 (the next battle rifle) uses a gas-piston system rather than the direct gas impingment of the M-16, so the jamming problem should become a thing of the past. I used to think that the new rifle would perform well and silence all but the most adamant critics of the 5.56mm round. Now I'm joining them.

Why? Because even a slightly more bulky bullet mated with a slightly larger cartridge case would, without losing any of the advantages of the 5.56mm round in the personal rifle (low recoil, easy portability due to lightness of the round, flat trajectory), provide the M249 with greatly improved performance in all the aforementioned aspects; to wit: significantly increased range and significantly increased power at longer range to be able to penetrate light obstacles like bricks, wood, and thinner metal.

So why can't we just increase the bulk of the 5.56mm round? Because we've already done that. It helped, but the laws of physics pretty much preclude us from being able to add any more bulk. So why don't we just rechamber the M249 and leave the XM-8 alone? Because the US military is committed to keeping the ammo for the SAW and the basic battle rifle exactly the same, for the good reasons already explained above.

As such, I no longer support the 5.56mm round. I'm not sure what difference that makes, but I thought you should know.

For what it's worth.

I favour 2mm ammunition with a nuclear-isomer explosive payload. They go off like a grenade, so anything you hit stays hit. And being so small, even my handgun can hold 180 rounds.

Of course, they won't come into service until the mid-2030s, so that's a bit of a wait for you guys.

I've been greatly impressed with what I've read about the 6.5 and 6.7mm cartridges being tested by various manufacturers. Although there is a high likelihood of a magazine capacity reduction from 30 to 20-25, the much better performance of the round is, IMO well worth the trade-off, especially as it appears that current military training has improved general combat marksmanship.

The original 55 grain 5.56 load that exited the muzzle of a 20" barreled rifle at well over 3000 fps, then tumbled and fragmented on impact out to 300+ meters was an effective, if not terrifically accurate round. It suffered only in a lack of range, and backed up with the M60 it was a decent cartridge for most combat. The new steel-cored 62 grain projectile fired out of a 16" or shorter barrel just doesn't cut it, and it appears that in the current combat situation, ranges of 250m+ are not that uncommon. If we're going to go to a new weapon system, now is the time to change caliber.

Kevin,
Yeah, that fits with what I understand.
I have, unfortunately, far too little practical experience with small arms, and most of what I share on guns is going to be what I have learned from reading and sorting different opinions...albeit bolstered somewhat from firing my dozen or so Pre-WWII military surplus bolt-action rifles.
I look forward to discussions with you on this, and I hope you'll keep me honest without getting irritated if I disagree or say something stupid.

It sounds good, right? We in the US have so much money, how could anyone be allowed to struggle?

They look to Europe, where they have 35-hour work-weeks and a month off for vacation as standards, and most retire in their 50s.

No one starves there, they have health coverage for all, it's perfect, right?

Well, then there's this (link via Zombyboy).

Is it any surprise it's a European?

See, if he does lose everything, he doesn't really have to worry; his retirement is pretty much set by the British government. He might have to work harder for a few years. And it's not really the point, since he's doing this for a stunt and will make wads of cash even if he loses, most likely.

But he's got a safety net, courtesy of European socialism. He can't really fail.

And that's what socialism is about. That's what liberalism is about. Bad things shouldn't happen to good people, and the government is the best mechanism for preventing it, and they're going to do it with your money.

See, that's one thing that gets forgotten about Europe. They spent about three centuries plundering all the wealth of the rest of the globe, snatching art and precious metals and raw materials. They even spent about 100 years taking from what became the US. It made them exceedingly wealthy. It ensured that their upper classes didn't have to work at all, and virtually enslaved the menials.

And their rigid class restrictions still exist. The son of a single mother isn't going to get the equivalent of a Rhodes scholarship, a law degree, and then use his charisma to lever himself into the highest position in the land, no. If you're born low there, you pretty much stay low. Rich don't marry poor. The Rich stay Rich, the poor are kept comfortable enough to not rise up, and for the most part they are governed without their voice or consent being considered, much.

At least in the US, most of our rich people still work.

But even more important, we have the freedom to fail. Because, see, that also means we have the freedom to succeed. You really can't have one without the other. If everyone who runs the race gets a blue ribbon, does it mean anything anymore? If you don't risk, what do you gain?

Bill Clinton could become President of the United States because we allow amazing upward mobility. The flip side of that is we have amazing downward mobility. You can be poor today, rich tomorrow, and poor the day after that. The dot-com bubble and implosion is absolutely American. I wouldn't have it any other way.

The Democrats are really offering a free lunch by trying to guarantee health coverage, social security, welfare, medicare, drug prescription coverage, racial quotas (in the guise of affirmative action), hate crime legislation, no limitations on pain&suffering awards in lawsuits, gun control. They are trying to ensure that nothing bad happens to people, which seems good on the surface.

But there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. They don't ask you to pay as you leave, but you pay by losing your freedom. By losing your freedom to fail, you lose your freedom to succeed. Fight it!

Paul Newman is an excellent example, I think.

He founded Newman's Own food products. In 20 years they've given over $125 million dollars to charities. Did anyone get forced to contribute to his company? Nope. Was anyone forced to buy his product? No! I buy some of his dressings because they taste good. He makes a quality food product. Because he has enough money, after he pays his taxes, he donates all profits to charity. When Democrats target the "evil, greedy" corporations for tax increases, all it could do to Mr. Newman's company is reduce the amount they can give away, wouldn't it?

And he didn't just give $125 million to charities, did he? I'm sure there is a CEO, and a board of directors, and secretaries, and drivers, and packers, and warehouse managers, and janitors, and security, etc, etc, etc, all employed by Mr. Newman before the first penny of profit is earned to be passed on to charity.

But again, the higher taxes are raised, the harder it would be for Mr. Newman to continue to run his business. If taxes are ever raised to the level Democrats want, would he be pushed out of business? Would he move overseas and become an outsourcing statistic?

So you have a rich Democrat, someone like Al Gore or John Kerry or Howard Dean or John Edwards. They say want to help poor people. They say they want to create jobs. They say they want to make things better for the people in lower tax brackets. Do any of them, seeing the success of Paul Newman, go out and open up a business to hire the 5.7% of people who are currently unemployed? Do they try to make a profit that they can hand over to charity (since they are still very rich without company profits)? Do they even give enough of their wealth away to put them into the range of lifestyle of the average college professor? Nope. They run for office on platforms of raising money. That's right, they say that only the government can create new jobs. There's not necessarily a need for more government workers, but they'll create them because they would rather use your tax money to add people to the government payroll who cannot be fired for incompetence, rather than to risk their own personal fortunes to create something of lasting value for this nation.

George W. Bush ran a baseball team, and added value to the team before he sold his interest. His father expanded an oil company. What did John F. Kerry do? He married one rich woman, "annulled" an 18-year marriage that produced two children so that he could marry another rich woman.

I don't know about you, but I still find it galling that there's a good chance the very same money earned by a Republican Senator Heinz, by way of inheritance and marriage, was used to finance John Kerry's presidential bid.

Okay, I feel a little better now.

The other side of your observation about Kerry's fortune, Nathan, is his "fighting for the little guy" demagoguery -- and it's just as disgusting.

What I keep asking myself is how anyone with three functioning brain cells could accept a multimillionaire Brahmin such as John Kerry as a representative of "the people." The man couldn't stand to have 99.999999% of "the people" brush past him on the street.

Unfortunately, high-level federal politics is all but closed to persons of ordinary means. How it might be reopened is a research problem. I think term limits will be required at the very least, but other thoughts are welcome.

Good point, Francis.
The situation is far more complex than I indicated in my "stream-of-consciousness, there's-a-few-things-I-want-to-say-and-I'll-write-them-down-as-they-come-to-me" writing style. John F'n Kerry shows his arrogance every time he pushes his way to the front of the line, every time he says, "Do you know Who I Am?"
And it often takes a great deal of personal wealth to make it into politics. True dat.
And yet, as much as I dislike and detest Bill Clinton, he does embody the American Dream. It does bother me that he used his success to try and rob wealth from the people who achieve it in business, but I cannot deny that President Clinton had humble roots and is now rich and influential.

I don't know. The thing that always bugged me about the Clintons, and leftists in general, is that they say everyone should be the same...excepting the elite who make the hard decisions of government. They don't want the common man to decide how he will spend the bulk of his money, they want to do that, and they want to be paid more for their efforts "to help reduce their vulnerability to bribery" (at least, that's the excuse the communists always gave). If they have that drive for comfort and luxury and self-determination in themselves, why don't they recognize other people have those same urges?

But we could talk about this all day. Maybe we should do a series of posts about this, so let me know if you ever want to do a "guest" post here.

I'd agree that no-one need die of starvation - food is plentiful and cheap, and some of the people who might otherwise die will end up doing something useful.

Basic healthcare for all is a good idea, for similar reasons, and because of the problem of communicable disease.

These are basic elements of social welfare, partly insurance and partly investment. (Like public education.)

But the equality of outcome - that the janitor should earn as much as the CEO - isn't social welfare but a denial of the known facts of how economies work. And implementing laws to this end will only ensure that your economy doesn't work.

I agree that no one should have to starve...
...but then, I think it's dangerous to tell people, "No matter what you do, we'll make sure you don't starve", because then you get people doing stupid things like this bet. Or "max"-ing out credit cards on superfluous things because they know the govt is always there as a safety net.
I like the idea I've seen in science fiction books in which a sort of gruel is available everywhere for free. It tastes like crap, but you aren't going to starve. That ensures people have the minimum they need for life but still gives them some motivation to try and improve their lot.

And that's what I'm all about: arranging our laws, society, and governance so that people will tend to make better choices in life. I'd rather not pass rules like "No Smoking"; instead, I'd rather find better ways to reward those who don't smoke and allow natural consequences to punish those who do.
If it's a voluntary behavior, you should be allowed to experience the consequences of that behavior. You also should have the opportunity to get all the available information about the consequences, as well, but it swimming upstream to get information available when it is being blocked for political reasons.
I'm not really expecting we'll ever get to my utopia, but I still want to fight to persuade in that direction.
I want to stop protecting people from their choices, but only after clearly explaining what we understand the consequences might be, and only after clearly notifying people that the safety net is being withdrawn.

Ding-ding-ding! Right on the mark, there, that freedom also means the freedom to fail. Too bad liberals seduce many with the promises of 'free stuff' in exchange for true freedom. It seems to work all too often.

And when they fail to deliver on their promises, they can always promise more. There's always a significant number of people who believe the check is actually in the mail. That's why Spam exists: some people are dumb enough.

But we've got to be able to craft a democracy that works even with dumb people. One way is to ensure that we remain a representative republic, and to ensure that we don't have programs enacted through judicial fiat.

The judiciary should be able to reject on the basis of constitutionality, but they should be allowed no power to rewrite constitutions, as they have tried in Florida and Massachusetts and the 9th Circuit Court.

Since when is success judged only by your job and economic situation? Everyone in the country still has the freedom to succeed or fail at being an asset to their community and a good person.

That's a good point, as well, Adele.
I guess it's just that it is economic/wage disparities that motivate some people to agitate for socialism, for continually increasing taxes on the wealthy...and then the middle class when the taxes on the wealthy don't bring in enough revenue.
And while greed and jealousy for your neighbor's belongings causes some people to try to steal, or claim it is racism preventing them from working hard enough to earn their own trappings of wealth, no one ever seems to covet someone else's involvement in community or be a good person. No one has ever tried to institute a form of government on the basis of regulating being a good person.
It would be better if more people would remember that a healthy society is as or more important as fulfilling their own impulses, 'tis true.

Welcome back, Nathan. We've missed you.

Welcome back to blogging.

Nathan,

We *still* need to get together for coffee or something.

And I'll leave it at that so that you may ponder -- and then e-mail me. Heh.

(Okay, a hint: Blogwash.)

Emma,
I flip-flop like Kerry on whether I consider "BlogWash" a good idea or not. I mean, the Bear Flag League seems to be happy with their geographic grouping, so why not us?
Coffee is always good. But you know what? In my fever-induced dementia (no, not really, but it sounds good...), I can't remember whether you are in Seattle or Spokane. Or somewhere else entirely. Although as an Air Force wife, Tacoma or Spokane are probably the most likely. Let me know, and we'll arrange it.
Patrick,
Thanks, and I hope to see you around here often.

Francis,
(I knew I missed a reply, dangit)
I know you'll be around often. Be sure to leave your insight, and I'm still working on getting all my links updated...be patient.
