While staying at a hunter's-camp in the Everglades for a whole winter I
met up with a gal from Miami that wanted to come and have a place to
practice firing her .50 caliber handgun. Rounds are pricey so we
recovered as many shells as we could for reloading.

Indeed. If only I could afford it, I'd be doing that with a .50 BMG rifle
at
the annual Colorado Machine Gun shoot here.

Oh look! Are those women attending? Quick! Turn them over and check to be
sure! LOL

I haven't got an actual photo of the .50 BMG, unfortunately... I didn't
have the pleasure either to shoot one, but I had the pleasure to drive the
"Leonidas", I even passed the exams for its driving license, following the 1
month course...I even passed the medical, of course.

Apples and oranges. At the cocktail party you have visual
identification with the person. You are seeing something that you
expect to be one thing that is represented as something else.

A posting is gender neutral. You have no expectations based on what
you see.

"Larry Thong" doesn't write things you would expect to see only from a
male or only from a female. When you start reading things into a
written post that have male or female characteristics you are making
assumptions that may be entirely off-base.

Not entirely apples and oranges. I'm still curious as to why someone would pretend to be the gender he is not. Not making a
federal case out of it, just curious. It *is* curious.

Perhaps more basic are questions like: why are there genders, why/how
is there such a thing as gender identity, and why/how are there gender or
other attractions. The first can be answered easily and logically, but the
other two still cannot be answered, and these commonly also show the
widest range of possible variations in people/animals who are "normal"...

Tried finding any handgun ammo on the shelves at Walmart, since Obama

bare, people are still scared and hoarding.

Kinda demonstrates that stupidity is catching, I guess...

Actually most of the runs on ammo this year are due to them changing the
manufacturing process, not any overthrow-the-government conspiracies
(though it's getting there). All new ammo of any gauge is now micro-tagged.
I only wanted to buy some LR 22s not long ago for a vintage rifle I was
refurbishing. (Needed to lathe an internal shoulder on the worn firing-pin
to extend its reach and give it a more solid impact, reshape the worn
firing-pin head, and retensioning the spring a bit as well.) I couldn't
find 22s on the net or on any store shelves. I was wondering what the hell
was up. People have been buying out the last clean non-tagged supplies
before Big Brother stuck their lousy noses even deeper into everyone's
daily lives. All old stock was bought out everywhere.

Silly me, I found 8,000 rounds of LR 22s still sitting on a back shelf of
mine that I hadn't checked. A bulk deal I got for $20 once. Decent
Remingtons. Not one dud yet. Lack of ammo disaster averted.

A "closet case" of what, exactly?

No, I DON'T understand that. Nor do I understand how you can misread what I

Or, more likely, it's the pointless "us vs. them" mentality - the same idiocy
that engenders gang wars on the small scale, and international wars on
a much larger scale (which accomplishes nothing of value, but pointlessly
destroys much of value in the process). One can possibly attribute this
to an inherent competitive drive among individuals that had value in the
process of evolution (with survival of the fittest), but the process has now
run amuck and it is has become inappropriate in a time of mass war and
weapons of mass destruction. Even on the political level in the US now,
it has led to a stupidly counterproductive monolithic obstructionism, not
based on anything but power-seeking/holding, hardly beneficial to the
citizenry or to the country as a whole. One would hope that THINKING,
CONSIDERING LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES OF ACTIONS,
and GOOD INTENTIONS AND WORKS TO MAXIMIZE BENEFIT
would someday generally replace this short-sighted nonsense, but I'm not
sure that it ever will...
