White (Rock Star) Privilege

So, lemme get this straight: Known plagiarists, Led Zeppelin did not rip off the song "Taurus," but Pharrel and Thicke stole the spirit of a Marvin Gaye song?? Sounds like bull to me!

Those intellectual property lines certainly are blurred.

AW Ban

I've seen people on FB suggest that nothing will happen after this latest mass shooting, but we ALREADY passed a ban on assault rifles back in '94.

Remember the ballyhooed Crime Bill we heard so much about during the primary? It effectively banned the type of weapon used in Orlando.

But instead of discussing the wisdom of letting that law sunset after ten years, we "liberals" decided it was better to use it as another way to attack the candidate who made a speech supporting it at the time because she said, "Super predator" and "bring them to heel" once, and that was SUPER racist and SO much worse.

Come on. We can do politics a lot smarter than this, my friends. 

Can we please talk about re-instating that ban now?
