Well, maybe not everyone. But...if you have a desire and the means to securely store firearms in your house, you can actually start a business out of your home. How cool is that?
This job could also become a scarce commodity in the Obama/Democrat reign of America. Support your 2nd amendment rights and sell firearms :D. Note: not only do you make money off the mark-up on guns, you also choose your fee for firearm transfers and background checks.
This is seriously a potential side job for anyone who likes guns and has some free time on the side.
Here's a link to get your FFL correctly [apparently it can be confusing...like all things federal government controlled].

Some wintry poetry for wintry times...
So, it looks like we may actually be getting some decent winter weather tonight and tomorrow [for the first time this season]. So here's some winter poetry.
Poem for a Winter's Day
by Philip Cole
When earth is masked with silken snow,
And this life’s noise is hushed and low,
Our only light a candle’s glow,
And I whisper to you slow,
“I love you.”
Out in fields both cold and bleak
Or under trees bare-naked, weak,
To meet your eyes I ardently seek,
To hold you close and softly speak,
“I love you.”
So on this icy winter’s day
When light of sun is hid away,
To find your warmth I hope and pray,
And see your face, and to you say,
“I love you.”

To meet your eyes I ardently seek,
To hold you close and softly speak,

To find your warmth I hope and pray,
And see your face, and to you say,
“I love you.”

Summer: so quickly gone away...
Yikes...so the semester starts back up in quite literely one week from right now. I'm down to two semesters. The mental image of the little engine struggling to crest the peak of the hill with his oversized load is almost how my brain feels right now. Usually, this is a sign of sleep deprivation or certifiable insanity, but the semester hasn't even started yet, so it can't be either.
Quite frankly, I'm excited and scared to death of the next academic year. Thirty-seven weeks from right now, Lord willing, I will have walked and finished my undergrad. That's the mostly scary part. This senior year I have my thesis to write, which I've never honestly been looking forward to. Eighty pages of original research seems like an awful lot. Having started looking into grad school, many of the programs only require a 60 page master's thesis with original research. Holy moley, I might as well as chop twenty pages off my senior thesis. If only it was that easy...
So, the Olympics are also going on, and, not so surprisingly, the Chinese are taking many gold medals home. However, this is not without a little turmoil and fuss. You all should look into the Chinese female gymnist who won. Last year, several papers did an article on her, and she was 13 years old. This year, she won the gold medal and is amazingly 16, according to the government issued Chinese passport. How awesome is that? The Chinese have figured out a way to speed time up for individuals so they are magically the minimum age required to compete in the Olympics, and that magical individual also happened to take home the gold. To age three years in less than 12 months truly is a miracle. I hear they simply reversed the process the Kremlin used on Lenin. Oh, Mao, what would you think of that?
Well, onto that hallowed, filthy ground of politics. I'm saying this now, but I've been saying it for the past three months as well. Obama will be the next President of the United States. He has won people over with his charisma, youth, and promise of change [though he continually fails to fully disclose exactly WHAT changes he will be making]. So with a half-baked plan for the economy, Obama is riding on his pretty face [well, it is compared to McCain :D ] and the race card. Come on, I'm not being bigoted or lying, and you know it. Don't get me wrong. I think it is wonderful that America has moved past it's previous squabblings and is willing to elect an African-American President, but we shouldn't do it just because he's African-American.
Frankly, I've been worried for the man. Though I disagree with his politics and his wife, I would never wish any harm upon Barack Obama, but I think there are enough crazy people still in the US that wouldn't mind taking a shot at him. There are still places in the States where the hatred for the African-Americans runs deep and hard and fresh. I hope his security stays alert, because I could see him as a prime target for idiot, would-be assassins.
Moving on, I also want to say I fully support the Phantom Congress, and I think Nancy Pelosi has made a big mistake leaving them in the House. The American people are not stupid, and they definitely don't like paying for $4 a gallon gas. If she were smart, she'd give up a week of her paid 5 week hiatus and put together an energy plan for the US. It's what she should do as Speaker of the House. What kind of blemish will this leave on her record, character, and testimony? Only time will tell.
Both Republicans and Democrats ought to be worried about what American citizens are paying for energy. This is not a partisan issue. As soon as it becomes partisan, we both lose. Come on, Congress. Work together for once and get America back on the right foot.
Last thing. The Dark Knight: a w e s o m e. Brilliant in almost every way. So sad that Heath Ledger died by accidental overdose. That man could act very well, as proven by his show-stealing, record-setting, blockbuster performance in the movie. If you haven't seen it yet, go see it. If you have seen it, go see it again. It's a very entertaining movie, and it's also very philosophically intriguing.
Catch you all later. Hopefully it won't take six months for me to write another blog entry... XD

My first blogging experience...
Yes, I know. Why on earth did I, of all people, start a blog? The answer is "Randomicity" [new word I just invented]. I was bored, not wanting to do any more school work for the night.
So what can you expect to find here? Who knows? Probably lots of historical or scientific thoughts/questions will emerge, however. I might even delve into the forbidden art of politics. There will also be the occasional poem or prose, some original, some ...shall we say unoriginal? [Plagiarist is such a strong word].
Really, the reason that motivated me to start this blog was getting frustrated during research for my Origins paper. I came across so many blogs that were rather one-sided towards evolution and bigoted towards ID or other non-Darwinian theories; after all, they are all theories. None of them are provable. There isn't a Darwinian law in science...yet. They're coming close though. Apparently, Darwin Day is celebrated in several states.
[Forewarning for the questions section: I will pose many questions that my offend, enrage, dismay, or bug certain people. I may also put forth answers or other conjectures that have the same effect. I do not personally hold to any or all of the questions or answers posted in this blog unless explicitly written so. I write these questions/topics/answers for my own personal mental games, often so that I can view them and continue to roll them around in my head. Feel free to post/comment, but please avoid the use of profanity and other abusive slurs, slangs, and terms.]
First question to ponder over. Why does the government support natural selection AND wildlife conservation. The two are contrary to one another. Almost 99.9% of the species found in the geologic column [I'll talk about it later] are not alive today. What's one more species gone from the world? Nature obviously recovered just fine after those species were gone. If a species is not fit to survive in the world we live in today, then it is obviously on its way out. Why should humanity go out of its way to prolong the inevitable destruction of a species?
#2: Why does the government support evolution in the first place? Why does it refuse to allow an open forum in science textbooks. Why are people so afraid of Intelligent Design in a textbook? Intelligent Design is not a religion. It is a theory just like Evolution. People got angry even over a foreward in a textbook saying that evolution is not a proven theory but merely a theory. Why such animosity? How does Creationism, Intelligent Design, and Creation Science go against the Constitution? [Bonus points if you can answer that one.]
