He proposed introducing legislation to take away people’s guns. Its already illegal to shoot someone. So if a criminal isn’t going to follow that rule what makes you think they will follow your gun law too? Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. Look at all the stabbing in Britain. Now they want to outlaw knives. After that it will be clubbings. And then they will outlaw clubs.

Point being if you make having guns a crime only criminals will have them. It doesn’t make you any safer. A person with malicious intent will find a way to depribe you of your money or your life to get what they want. In Texas the knoledge that most homeowners are well armed keeps us safe at night.

In britain people get stabbed all the time and it is just as fatal if not more since knives don’t run out of bullets.

It was a silly movie with a silly political agenda at the time. The fact that people still consider global warming legislation even today knowing that it is a fraud is just sad.

The writting was good enough so that people with clouded political ideas such as “guns are the real crime problem in america” might actually buy his speach. Myself, I found it to be a load of tripe.

For me, finding the item is half the fun

Each Sat. afternoon on Detroit’s Ch. 20 they would do Horror Double Feature. I remember watching this one (edited down of course) called “Rawhead Rex”. Even edited it was brutal and they cut away a lot. Many years later I heard this was a cult classic and actually based on a Clive Barker story. There was rumors it was going to be remade but I guess it didn’t happen yet.

It’s amazing the changes and history of the local TV stations too. Here in Detroit the local owned channels were 50 and 20. The content when I was growing up was- TV reruns, cartoons in the afternoon, syndicated TV shows, lots of edited movies in primetime, followed by news, and more syndicated or rerun shows.

Ch. 50 in the late 80’s became the Detroit Fox channel. Then there was an odd switch around in 1994 or 1995 when it became UPN. Now it’s CW 50.

Ch. 20 in 1995 became The WB Network. Now it’s MyNetwork TV.

We often talk about how entertainment is so much easier now, but it sucks! Gone are the days of cartoons from 3pm-5pm after kids come home from school like in “our days”. Gone are Sat. moring cartoons and Sat. morning pro wrestling like it “our days”. During the week here in Michigan they show back to back hours of The Tyra Banks show from 3-5pm now. Sat. Morning has weekend versions of network morning news shows.

Anybody 34 and over remember USA “Up All Night” hosted by Rhonda Sheer and Gilbert Gotfried (sic)? Edited B-movies on the USA Network with Gilbert and Rhonda making jokes inbetween the TV commercials. That show has long been replaced by Law and Order reruns..

I often wonder what kids and teens do these days for fun since they don’t have what we did as an option? Do they just sit in front of the computer with Facebook and Stickcam?

I’m all about Netflix and as good as the selections are, something to me is still missing. I loved going to Video Club 5, bored, and browsing every box cover there was for something new and different to rent. That’s how I discovered all of Hal Hartley’s movies. And you never knew who you may run into at the store. Could be a classmate, friend, future friend with movies in common, etc.

There was also the “back room” at the video store for us single guys. Always had to pick your spot to open the door and go in so no kids or families were around. LOL. You can
get “those types” of movies by computer or in the mail now too.

I know in a lot of ways I have become a jaded hermit! LOL.
