Is Leaning Back in the Seat in Front of ME Really More Comfortable?

Believe it or not this was in the NY Times this week.  Joseph Barro wants you to pay him to keep his seat upright.

Should the knee defender be banned?
A dispute got way out of hand
A passenger groused
And then he got doused
They cut short the flight to land.

The New York Times is opining
On the etiquette of seat back reclining.
Who owns the air rights
To their seat on plane flights?
It seems these rules need defining.

The Second Amendment Was Written When You Had to Stop to Reload

Six bullets to stop an unarmed man.

"Guns don't kill, people do."
In Ferguson this may be true
But an Uzi went wild
In the hands of a child
Shooting her instructor before he ever knew.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right.

The magazine had lots of rounds in it
The gun can fire 600 a minute
As amusement it's fine
For a young child of nine
And Arizona law does permit it.

Do Any of You Know How to Do This?

There is expertise that my skill set lacks
When I sit down my superego reacts
I'm able to do nothing
But it just keeps on fussing -
And I really find it hard to relax.

Grammar Rules

Three views of grammar.

Grammar rules are like, last century

We ditch it, if its up to me

They’re a pain in the butt

Me and my friends are So What?

We could care less, literally.

Ain’t got no use for no grammar rules

They tried to frickin’ learn me in schools

‘Course I goan diss ‘em

Ain’t nobody goan miss ‘em

No good to nobody but fools.

Grammar is evolving today

I doubt the subjunctive will stay

Many mangle the possessive

Ignore the objective

And even the past tense is passé.

Ms. Doty (7th grade English teacher) should be smiling in her grave because the first two were very hard for me to write.
