Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.

To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.

Congrats! I remember when you were so helpful to me. I'm from Michigan and was working a shoot in FL. You brought a chair for me to use and made room in your cooler for my lunches. So helpful and much appreciated.

I remember that shoot.   I remember chuckling when you were talking about dry fire and told the shooters "You need to go down in the basement with no ammo" and everybody there was thinking what is a basement?   We call those swimming pools in Fl. :)

Good hearing from you.  Would love to see you down in Fl again.

Woohoo! I've only worked one shoot with Steve, but man was it a doozy. Patriot's day, on a range we don't use very regularly, punctuated by pouring rain during the memorial volley. Good times!
