This day, 45 years ago
I wish I could have witnessed this.
I like Cleveland almost as much as I am comforted by my hometown. Why? It's neat! It's got that great river valley through it, it's a food town, I love metal industry, it has a water horizon. It was in Christmas Story.
There is a city I dream about. A recurring dream. It doesn't match DC or Cleveland, it is more of a combination of both. Maybe with a touch of New York thrown in, thanks to Sesame Street. And it comes accidentally. I have dreamed of this city long before I ever visited Cleveland. But it matches more than most real towns, this fake town in my head. That is stuck in 1955, with cars from 1970.
Which is why witnessing the 10 Cent Beer Night Baseball Riot would have been a hoot. Hey, I like Stroh's...
Cleveland is a small big city. You can get around it. Not like LA or Texas big towns. Chicago. And you can move while in it. Not like New York or DC or Philly with their traffic headaches.
"You like it because of a riot? You know the river burned there, T-Bolt?"
Yes, I know. I like the town, warts and all. Sometimes BECAUSE of the warts.
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.
To be able to defend myself with a handgun.
To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
Big Mistake for Her
If Ginsberg had let Scalia put the words "strict scrutiny" in Heller and Hillary said "Gun control is just not going to be a priority for my administration," Hillary would have been elected President.
