Real Americans don't need pistol permits, or licenses.

Shuttlesworth v. Birmingham: "It is settled by a long line of recent decisions of this Court that an ordinance which, like this one, makes the peaceful enjoyment of freedoms which the Constitution guarantees contingent upon the uncontrolled will of an official -- as by requiring a permit or license which may be granted or withheld in the discretion of such official -- is an unconstitutional censorship or prior restraint upon the enjoyment of those freedoms." Staub v. Baxley, 355 U. S. 313, 355 U. S. 322. And our decisions have made clear that a person faced with such an unconstitutional licensing law may ignore it and engage with impunity in the exercise of the right of free expression for which the law purports to require a license.

Death panels for the elderly so we can watch the sky for meteors, asteroids, and comets. Or, maybe we could just tell all these would be elderly, who don;t sleep well at night anyway, for the most part, to get their butts out there looking for space junk rather than sitting the couch watching "I Love Lucy," "Leave It to Beaver," and "All in the Family" reruns. If you wake up to pee & can;t get back to sleep, get on the telescope. I guarantee these elderly will start falling asleep a lot more as they are bored to death watching stars wink, and asteroids creep. Besides, what does on do if they see one coming right at them? How long do they have to report the phenomena before it is too late?

This government is the threat, you jackhammer.

Maybe we can use green energy technology, solar panels, and windmills to divert it, but with the energy expended by these meteors as they enter our atmosphere, with the inherent dangers of fabric tears in space suits, mining one would be about the most dangerous job in the world. Perhaps some more critical thinking is involved, Slowing it down putting it into orbit is one thing, but mining it on top of that? Suppose there is nothing on it worth mining? This is about the most ignorant post I have ever read, and I thought I had read some really ignorant ones in the past.

The odds of me being robbed (already thrice in 20 years I have had property stolen) are infinitely greater than Earth being hit by an asteroid, let alone myself being hit. I'll take my chances with the asteroid. I won't part with my guns.

Archer Daniel Middleton? Really? At least you could have looked up the name of the company.

And, by the way, I don't want to burn ethanol in my vehicles, but I am forced to by government dictate. That in itself is tyranny. Time to turn this government back to constitutional republicanism. Get rid of the leftists in both parties, or vote third party. Time to revive a constitution party which isn't insistent on Christ's teachings--as appropriate as they might be to our judicial system--as much as freedom of religion, not this current freedom from religion, with all answering to the state tyrant. We broke from England for that very reason.

(continued) 2) getting oil to market (pipelines), 3) stopping environmental policies that make it so natural gas is piped back into the ground in Alaska (see online booklet "The Energy Non-crisis" by Lindsey Williams, which discusses how the environ'mental'ists, and uber left--Jimmy Carter & his fool minions--used every trick in the book to foil the oil pipeline through Alaska in the 1970's, and then told them rather than put a second pipeline atop the first for that gas, they should instead pipe it back into the wells), among other things.

Stands on it? I'm not even sure he understands it's a problem. We all want farmers to do better, but is ethanol from corn the way to go? Sugar beets and cane sugar are better suited to ethanol production as attested by Brazil's switch to ethanol from cane production. Fact is, then sugar prices would rise, but would it necessarily have to? We could then eliminate tariffs imposed on cane from foreign sources, could we not? Import all the cane the ethanol producers can get, but keep hands off corn. You think the world won't be ticked off if the price to feed themselves rises drastically sue to our inconsideration of the fact that 1) we have plenty of oil here if we are willing to drill her and drill now 2) our energy policy was geared toward
