More prayers for Forty from this Canuck.

When we were transitioning from revolvers to semi-auto pistols, we had an individual who used the video of the full auto to try to claim the 17's and 19's we were considering, would behave like that. He was embarrassed when the full video was shown to the Police Commission. His other claim was that the grips would loosen and come off the Glock. He lost a lot of credibility.

Prayers continuing for both of you, ya old curmudgeon!

That's me. My Mother still loved me though.

Final Irish related for the day.

We had a good one here in Canada: Look it up sometime if you want to feel sick.

Slainte!

I wrote a bit of what became a political essay here and then deleted it before I posted it. BUT those who have not done so, should have a look at what is occurring up here, due to our proximity. You may not like what you see and it could be the canary in the coal mine.

That is very true. A partial explanation revolves around a segment of our population whose attitude is : "My Parents Voted That Way, So Will I!" In other cases, we have newcomers who vote for the party that was in power when they arrived in the country and in other cases, they face groups within their ethnic circle, who in other places would be referred to as agents. My sister-in-law is from India and experienced that at first hand, from some very persuasive individuals from her former homeland. Her response was that she left there to become a CANADIAN, not a hyphenated "Indian/Canadian" or Chinese/Canadian or XXX/Canadian".
