I rely on your long experience in such matters.

There have actually been some cases here where out in the "Constitutional carry" states, some idiot went into a bank packing heat, and by the time he got to the counter, the tellers were already stuffing cash in bags.

Jussie Smollett was just sentenced. 150 days in jail, $25,000 fine, $120,000 in restitution to the City of Chicago. PROTIP: When setting up a fake crime to try to rejuvenate your failing career, DON'T pay your henchmen by cheque!

That's what SHE said. . .

Same here. I call it America Between the Mountains (the usually conservative, usually Republican interior between the Appalachians and the Rockies) and America Between the Mountains and the Sea (both coasts, usually liberal and Democratic). Each is about 50% of the population.

It's the concept of mens rea, the "guilty mind." That is satisfied when you choose to do something illegal, whatever it is. Once that is established, the results of your actions decide the exact crime, called "transferred intent." The intent to break the law is transferred to whatever...

Correct. If you do something illegal, like rolling a stop sign or punching somebody in a bar, you are criminally responsible for whatever your action leads to. If the guy you punched falls, hits his head on the bar rail, and dies, that's homicide. If rolling the stop sign causes a crash that...

Almost impossible to find 'em hereabouts. And the brighter wits among us will note that I said nothing about numbers, but rather about words. Looking for a fight?

Here's a notion. . . Is it possible that electing a "Liberal Lite" Tory would help smooth a path to a more Tory Tory? That's the promise. Of course, the risk would be that the Tories could get locked into "Lib Lite."

And to some, coal is also in that basket. When I deal with language, I prefer to deal with words, not baskets. I'm sure that if your point were different, you'd be losing your damn mind screaming that NG is not oil

Haven't been paying much attention. As a general proposition, NG is big in the U.S. not only adding to the total capacity, but replacing coal, and to a lesser extent oil. You did specify "oil" as the other 40% NG is not oil.

Could be. If he ain't your citizen, it ain't your problem. As I said, I consider your solution to be wise and merciful. But I'd be tempted to just be shot of him.
