All this will do is feed those who feel this was an inside job and nothing more than another attempt…Read More like Fast and Furious, to strip us of our 2nd amendment rights.
I was far from alone stating that if the 2nd falls the 1st is right behind it. I never thought it would be in the same month!

At a young age I had to teach my children that there is a fine line at times between lying overtly…Read More and intentionally withholding the truth. You would think our politicians would have learned that lesson by now. The ever expanding details of the IRS and AP/Fox News wiretapping stories are an example that someone in the Administration believes withholding details is a sound crisis management strategy. As with all scandals, the coverup is usually worse than the specifics of that which is being covered up.

"Thus, I would fully support and effort to hold back graphic crime scene photos/video as well…Read More as the most graphic descriptive forensic discussion. And while that seems to be part of the legislators effort here, the apparent vagueness of the scope suggest it might screen much more, including details of law enforcement response." ----------->> Agreed and then some. It is a typical strategy for those who seek to control the narrative to blanket-statement an entire situation so that details would become 'off-limits' due to the overall restrictions of said 'blanket statement'. In simpler terms, it is akin to saying, "I didn't lie to you. I merely didn't offer the truth." Bad form, indeed.

"If the bill is passed as amended, it would give pet shops two and a half years to transition…Read More to a more humane business model, such as that of PetSmart and Petco, who do not sell dogs and cats from puppy mills. Instead, they work with local animal rescue groups or municipal shelters and sponsor adoption days." ---->> This makes perfect sense. Let us adopt what is readily available.

They need to follow Ca's lead and open puppy stores that house rescued animals only!!!

I'm lost Reverend. You love your gay brother, friends and relatives, bur god forbid they be allowed…Read More in the boy scouts? Why? I think the point Sandra was making is that Gays are untrustworthy. Let me know if I missed that. It is absolutely true that gays have made inroads in many areas. I dont think that has made my relationship with my wife or children any less. Is yours so delicate?

SO what's going to happen the first time a situation like this occurs: ----->> "Hey, you…Read More wanna share a tent?" -- "Um, no, you're gay, and I don't want to sleep around any gays." I predict many, MANY, lawsuits and controversies are in the future for the BSA.

@Jlo: Check this out. -->> Kaitlyn Hunt, an 18-year-old senior at Florida’s Sebastian…Read More River High School, has a problematic commonality with grown adults Page Price and Carolyn Compton of Collin County, Texas.
All three women are lesbians who have experienced governmental interference in their love lives.
Young Kaitlyn was hit the harshest. Days after her 18th birthday this past February, she was cuffed, arrested and charged with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a child 12 to 16 years of age.
Kaitlyn’s statutory victim was her girlfriend, a 15-year-old freshman she had been dating since the beginning of the school year.
The women in both cases believe they were singled out due to the same-sex nature of their relationships. They also concede that heterosexuals in similar situations are held to the same standard of law—and wrongly so.

I could care less what anyone's sexual preference is but if this was an 18 year old boy and 14 year…Read More old girl he would be charged with statuatory rape and no one would care. You can't have a double standard. It isn't about them being lesbians, its about an 18 year old having sexual relations with someone who is three years under the age of consent. If they give her a free pass then it will set a dangerous precedent because there are alot of cunning 18 year olds and alot of naive 14 year olds.

Bill, If you named your child Tickles you have bigger issues than sport team names.
So I guess…Read More people named the Chicago Blackhawks because they didn't admire them? Or because they did?
Look at this list of life changing offensive sport team names. All named because they wanted to offend and not because they had some admiration of the groups?

Bill May 23, 2013 at 04:56 pm
Sanchez, your logic doesn't computer. Darien didn't name themselves "the blue wave"…Read More because they admire blue waves. I didn't name my first child "Tickles" because I admire tickling. Naming is a way to claim ownership of something, which is exactly why a name like "Warriors" is offensive. It's entitled Wiltonians trying to claim ownership of their ancient brethren, and it's completely unacceptable.
Mortimer Godfrey May 23, 2013 at 10:39 am
Great sentiments, Bill--though you should consider changing your name, because you share the same…Read More first name as our terrible First Selectman, in case you didn't know. However, I think the Warriors name is very offensive as well. I am surprised that this hasn't come up before town government before. I am actually going to champion this cause on my blog, now. It will show that Wiltonians are forward-thinking individuals, rather than insensitive. I believe that maybe they should be called the Wilton Meadows, after both Allan's Meadow and Merwin Meadows. I think meadows are nice and no one can be offended by them. Mort Godfrey
