So, my pro-2A article was published today!

Recommended Posts

Great article, thank you for doing this!

 

I especially like the points on civil rights, and how our rights enumerated in the Constitution is to prevent "mob rule" by the majority.

you should have had more than one page to be able to get into more detail.

What are the chances that your article could be reprinted in other local papers throughout the state? If the members of this forum submit your article to the local newspapers and it gets printed, it's more information out there. All with your permission of course and probably the permission from your local paper since they probably edited it.

Thanks so much for your support and feedback!

 

By all means, forward the article as you see fit.

 

The Opinions editor at Times of Trenton, Diana Groden, was extremely willing to work with me. She made suggestions and pointed out areas that I needed to re-word or choose a more palatable wording or examples to keep readers' minds open. She really took time and effort to help me communicate my points without turning off readers (I did let my bias get the better of me by slipping in the "agenda" sentence...oops).

 

I'm surprised that it also has 7,100 facebook likes!

    • I've got copies of mine stashed in different places as well. How comfortable are you that if you needed to show a cop one of the copies, that he wouldn't scrutinize it closely enough to see that it was not the original, and charge you on that basis? After I made about 10 copies (I'm a bit OCD :-) I laminated the original and the copies to hopefully minimize that risk. My original came on the low-quality recycled toilet paper that NJ used for drivers licenses back in the day, so I thought laminating it was a good idea for several reasons. 
    • True enough. What part of this guy's conduct (obtuse though it may have been) would have been analogous to illegal activity in 1789? Picture someone riding his horse home down Manchester Pike from the local tavern, stopping to take a pot shot at some target of opportunity off in the woods, then continuing on his way. Who thinks that, unless he inadvertantly hit a person, or damaged personal property, he would be charged with any kind of criminal violation, without even getting into the ludicrous topic of duty to inform during that time period?
    • Truthfully, alot of "basic" prep work in kitchens would be difficult (or just very expensive) to automate. Even things which seem as simple as cutting herbs in fine dining restaurants could be tough. Knives should be razor sharp (you would have to continously strop or sharpen blades), handle the herbs with care so you dont bruise them, be able to pick out ones that aren't beautiful etc.  I'm also curious what happens when a machine goes down. People won't keep the skills that have been automated.  I'm sure someone's working on it, but I think we're a good way away when it comes to fine dining. If you walk into a 3 Michelin star restaurant, you'll see 30 cooks. Not to mention, each machine would have to have an array of skills. Where I worked, menus changed monthly. Can the machine adjust? Maybe with AI. The other day I saw a robotic dog walking around nyc. Apparently its a test for future police dogs. Who knows what the future brings lol.  
    • Yeah, I'm sure there's resistance, especially among older people. I don't think complete automation is coming to haute cuisine soon, and most people want to talk to a waiter or sommelier if they're shelling out big money. But at least taking care of the more mundane tasks like bussing tables, washing dishes, basic prep work could help control costs
