There's always the risk of having a snafu or mistake creep into a site that is mainly composed of rants as based on my perception of reality. Since I've been told, and also frequently admit, my point of view is somewhat skewered, mistakes on my part sometime are passed on.
And doing late night updates (after I've finished all the homework I care to do for the date) only increases the probability that I'll be more off than usual.
And since Blogger doesn't have any type of Gramar/Spell Check, I also apologize for the frequint speling erors.
Anyway, a frequent "whoopsie" popped up recently when I put down 2nd amendment (The NRA's beloved right to bear arms, the right to arm bears, whatever the hell you want to do with as long as it requires providing live ammunition to anyone who asks) when I meant to say 1st amendment (What most people recall to be freedom of speech, religion, and press as well as freedoms to petition the government or have non-violent demonstrations, but who remembers THAT?)
My good friend Keith was quick to point out that error by asking "Did I have guns on the brain?" I'll comment more on that briefly.
Anyway, I quickly corrected my oversight, figuring I was just tired when I attempted to transcribe my thoughts.
My darling sister, who's entertaining Blog can be reached by clicking the links just to the left of your screen (BUT NOT NOW, I'D RATHER YOU WAIT AND FINISH THIS FIRST [of course, that's totally up to you]), reviewed my site after I'd edited myself and corrected Keith for correcting me.
Keith was ranked second in my graduation class and was only held back from first due to a B in choir due to a slightly unfair ruling by the teacher due to the fact he told her the truth about something that I'm not going into because it's not really that big a deal unless you're Keith (forgive me for not having too much sympathy for my friend. I was stuck with third ranking due to one science teacher my Junior year, not that I'm bitter about it or anything).
Where the crap was I going with this...
Oh yes! Keith is a really smart guy who knows a lot of stuff and it catch him making a mistake.
My sister couldn't resist what seemingly was an easy, impossible-to-resist shot.
Sorry Keith.
I quickly addressed this on the board and which prompted another comment from my sister saying she understood. I have yet to hear from my friend Keith.
Now, in my defense...
Did I have "guns on the brain?" Maybe... I think I figured out where 2nd amendments got into my subconscious, and onto the screen.
Being the news junkie I am, I read dozens of articles a day over the course of several news sites (even though I'm no longer required to cram for self-esteem crushing News Quizzes in J-105).
The Ninth Circuit Court has been in the news lately regarding 2nd Amendment rights. Yes, the same 3 judges who brought you the "'Under God' Doesn't Belong in the American Pledge Ruling" are at it again.
They recently ruled that the second amendment only applies to States' rights to have an organized militia and doesn't apply to private individuals.
I'd hate to be anywhere within shooting range of a NRA clubhouse when that came out over the news.
Anyway, though the ruling announced at the end of the week, I believe the decision was mentioned in article reviewing many of the constitutional conundrums facing courts this last week.
I think that's how it got there and how I screwed everything up. That's me, Caleb Michael Smith, "Finding new and improved ways to mess up since 1982!"
I'm flawed, but I'm human too.
That isn't an excuse, but it is an explanation.
I now leave you all to go to the comments page and congratulate Hannah and Keith for the keen insight, to add comments of your own to potentially instigate new controversies (and give me more things to write about), and point out my numerus speling misteaks.
Have a great week.
