I’ve loved The Walking Dead since Glenn first called Rick a dumbass, and I unflinchingly purchase every episode because it is (and will always be) one of my favorites.

In a recent discussion about Bernie Sanders, someone said that he could never have been elected because he was a self-avowed socialist. I called that into question, and (of course) the person responding conflated communism and socialism.

I’ve lived in the Dallas area for three years, and I have never been the victim of a prosectuable crime. I have, however, been cheated out of several hundred dollars by people that hide behind desks and technicalities. These days, most thieves work within the bounds of the law.

Terrorism is the perennial reminder that security is an illusion. Only education and empathy can put an end to fundamentalist extremism.

Anyone who suggests that mass shootings are orchestrated in order to take away our guns should be forced to give up their guns because they’re too stupid to use them responsibly.

The legality of their citizenship is ultimately irrelevant. We can devise any number of laws to make people criminals (just look at the population of our prison system thanks to the war on drugs). But our laws have no bearing on why they are here. Most of the people coming across our borders illegally don’t…
