The Right’s Second Amendment Lies

A big obstacle to commonsense gun control is the Right’s false historical narrative that the Founders wanted an armed American public that could fight its own government. The truth is that George Washington looked to citizens militias to put down revolts and maintain order

Book Reading.....

The compeditor in me had to catch up to Mr. Owl.....

I read book No. 37 for the year. I read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
It was actually a pretty decent version for a Nook freebie.
It was interesting to read the little extras that don't make it into filmed versions.
I have to admit reading the Bob Cratchit lines took me back to the couple of times that I played him on stage. :)
It's a little late for Christmas technically, but you can never get too much of Christmas. :)
