Journalism 101 violation: Where is this place??? East 11th Street, even with the qualification of being "just west of the TU campus, in an old service station" is not the same as an address. The guy was nice enough to give you an interview so I think he was kind of expecting you could mention the specific address.

Sarcasm thick enough to spread with a knife there, BCJedi -- I like it!! Exactly my impression of Arnie's foray into illogic land for this week. By my estimates and evaluation, the last honest liberal died with the passing of Hubert Humphrey. The current edition, as exemplified by Arnie, is little more than a dim reflection without the guiding principles or common sense of their philosophical forebears.

The sixth paragraph does not properly report the fact that open carry will require the same license, training, and background check as concealed carry. The new license is more correctly a License to Carry with the licensee's option on how to carry, open or concealed.

Given that words mean things, I'd like to take a moment to deconstruct and consider the context of the word "proletariat" in The Capitolist column on 3/30. In the broadest general definitions I could find, the proletariat are the non-wealth or non-property holding members of society. The more specialized definitions draw from the general definition with original application in Roman law and later in Marxist theory for the societal order of those who labor for wages.
As I read the rest of the article, I believe the evidence supports a conclusion that the intended meaning originates from Marxist theory where application of the taxing power is alright as long as it balances the scales of social or economic class. That sounds like a discussion between a plumber and a presidential candidate sans TelePrompter a few years back. It was great political theater that exposed the candidate for what he was and is but the American press glossed it over.
Mr. Hamilton's column is equally glossy. He really should be more forthright in helping the reader understand his meaning. Personally, I find the Marxist dialectic to be really stale as persuasive political analysis. I bet it got good marks in his college PoliSci classes, though.

My Perspective, please allow me to fully endorse your response to GeeGirl and the article. Well stated and on target with every point!
I will expand upon your irony comment to note that it appears in the lexicon of the LiberalSocialistProgressive, "character" is defined as incessant whining accompanied by reaching for everybody else's wallet to pay for the LSP's desired "social justice".
