A state legislator is actually going to introduce a bill making it a felony, with a prison term of five years, to spank your kid. I suppose people can disagree whether spanking is an effective disciplinary tool, but only a ninny (by which I mean interfering lefty busybody fascist) would criminalize it. One characteristic of a totalitarian state is that everything not prohibited is compulsory.

I expect the state, to massive popular acclaim, to shortly confiscate all children on the grounds that nobody cares for them as much as it does.

Anyway, one of the training sessions I had was firearms requalification. Among the weapons I had to shoot was the M14. I got a kick out of shooting a rifle “citizens” of this state are forbidden to own.

I don’t know about the difference in WA State sunsets to SoCal’s, but having lived in Anaheim, I’d have to say compared to Seattle, some of SoCal is more sane.

BTW, I hate what they did to Anaheim. I’m glad I moved away and didn’t have to take the pain of the I-5 reconstruction.

Steve, while you are down there, how about a pic of the Bonzai charges of Illegals crashing the checkpoint in San Ysidro (South of San Diego)? A pic or two might stir up the ignorant.

Perhaps we Christians should just sew large crosses on our clothes to make it easier for the authorities to identify us. Heckfire – in the name of Tolerance it may become necessary to eventually move us into ghettos.

The MSM continue its uninterrupted descent into fascism.

And besides, up in Washington we have far superior sunsets to sounthern Cal. And a much superior category of citizens to watch them. But when my employer sends me to schools, they always turn out to be down here.

There’s a restaurant on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach (a bit north of where this photo was taken) called “The Green Flash.” It has spectacular views of sunsets just like this one. Invariably, whenever the sun sets, patrons start applauding.

Californians.
