Thoughts Aloud

If our civilization somehow survives the threats we are facing, the internet is going to change it forever. YouTube and the social networking craze are already making profound changes in what news and ideas we are exposed to. I recall seeing this charming young lady’s testimony many years ago, and have repeated her remarkable story in verbal conversations occasionally. But now, thanks to YouTube, I can embed a clip of it right in my own blog with a few keystrokes. It is powerful stuff:

I really admire her ability to articulate her compelling position simply, forcefully, and completely unintimidated by the likes of Chuck Schumer and other advocates of gun control on that committee. Notice how intently he seems to be paying attention to her; and then please explain how he has been able to continue championing gun control legislation over the years since. The smarmy little twerp disgusts me – on so may different levels. â—„Daveâ–º
