A doctor, actually. I'm a regular Patch Adams.
And yes, the overuse, abuse, and expansion of executive authority is frightening, especially considering that Americans can still be detained indefinitely without standing trial. Why Barry O renewed that one was a head scratcher.

You did, whether you meant to or not. You responded to a joke with a response about abuse of power.
Maybe it was unintentional, but it was there.

Not uncommon to respond to a joke with explaining common complaints with the orders. I never had any myself, not sure why executive orders no matter the scope never bothered me much.
I was actually thinking that, I was going to ask whose alt he was.Slyfox696 said:

Well, I can assure you both that I'm a WZ noob. This just isn't my first forum. I've drifted in and out of the IWC for years. So, if either of you had previous memberships on one of those inferior boards, you could recognize what passes for my sense of humor from there.

Today, something unimagineable happened.
Today, my mother, grandmother, father and myself all agreed that what Obama had to say this morning was in fact, a good thing. My mother and grandmother come from an extremely long line of pastors and right-wing religious crazy people. My father has a conservative CHristmas mother, and all his siblings are big democrats with hard-ons for Obama. I general fall independent, as I don't hate Obama, starting like like Biden, but would vote for a republican if he was the best candidate for the job.
THis has never happened before.

Seems like some more useless laws that will just cause more needless government spending to me.
Yeah...except they are not laws at all...

And will solve nothing.
Solve nothing? Perhaps. Reduce something? Very possible.
I still don't understand the "all or nothing" mindset of Americans. It's like if one measure doesn't solve everything, it's not worth doing.

I still don't understand the "guns kill people" mindset of Americans.
It's not that "guns kill people". It's a mentality of handing a knife to a child.
Could it be somehow related to the fact that over 30,00 Americans are killed every year with a gun?

Then what did kill those people? Waterballons?
Smoke inhalation from the discharged firearm. Must be it.

Allow me to rephrase...
"Could it be somehow related to the fact that over 30,00 Americans are killed every year from being shot?"
Better?

No.
England has zero guns and the highest violent crime rate in the world. I can't imagine why.

With a gun. People killed them with a gun.
Sorry, it's true.
They also had a grand total of roughly 100 gun deaths in the last two years. As opposed to the 25,000 homicides in America.
I can't imagine why. But really, that's a great argument. Being vandalized is TOTALLY the same as being shot repeatedly in the head.
Incredibly skewed numbers. Most of those deaths are criminal on criminal violence associated with illegal activity.
