As much as people make fun of SCOTUS's holding that money=speech, the alternative is an undermining of the free speech right. Imagine if the government said you couldn't spend money to produce a movie! ๐
Gun grabbers love to say that โthe 2A only protects your right to possess, not to purchase.โ
That is the most disingenuous argument of all time.
In order to possess you must be able to acquire. If you cannot acquire a firearm, the Second Amendment is null and void.
@attackonrichard This is my first time watching a season of Big Brother. I'm enjoying it, but the fan base is something else. I thought Survivor fans were weirdly parasocial, but Big Brother fans take it to another level.
@politicalmath@L0m3z I don't think Dante saw it that way. Homer is the leader of the classical poets in Limbo. They are the virtuous pagans who got as close to God as they could without special revelation. Dante sees himself as the continuation of Virgil, who is himself a continuation of Homer.
@NFLonPrime@JmoneysteckNFL Denver: 17 all-pro seasons between Louis Wright, Champ Bailey, Chris Harris Jr, Aqib Talib, and Patrick Surtain.
New England: 8 all-pro seasons between Ty Law, Asante Samuel, Darrelle Revis, Aqib Talib, Stephon Gilmore, and Christian Gonzalez.
@RJSepich There are so many soccer leagues. Surely at least one could test it out to see the real world results. But soccer fans are more stubborn when it comes to rule changes that an 80 year old baseball fan, so I have doubts innovation will ever come.
@OVTweetmarck@Elijosss And the NCAA got rid of the next game suspension because it was too harsh. (Also, head injuries can be life threatening, so it makes sense not to play around with those.)
@AlluPatronia C.S. Lewis makes this very point in Mere Christianity. The bad part about the witch trials was that they were killing people who weren't witches. If they were killing actual witches, then justice was served.
