Not that I'm feeling all that political, maybe just

channeling my impish inner Jim Taylor... I KNOW Rush was right.

On a more serious note I was gifted this hat by our instrumentation tech. A genius marketing ploy promoting his business at trade shows with "BECI" embroidery on one side in small white letters. My wife wore it to Wal-mart but I hesitate now to let the kids wear it. I feel my freedoms are being compromised by such lunatics. I worry less about my self, but my kids being confronted is another cup of tea.

Not sure if you guys saw this brief blurb in the "news" but it made me take pause. "They" really didn't want it to get out too much. I like the idea of thumbing my nose at the radicals. But also I'd truly hate to be forced into defending myself to the fullest extent of my rights, over a silly hat. Not even actually the one that triggers them. Seems they don't know how to read either. There are CRAZY people out there! Exercise my rights or tempt violent nuts?
