After Senate collapse, a background check for speaking out, but not for buying a gun

Shame on our Senator. Shame on the NRA. Background checks for exec exercising 1st Amendment rights, but not 2nd Amendment rights. Once again our pols side with the killers and and against the speakers. Guns don't kill - words do?

Beware of this place. They are not florists. They are a call center who take a 20% cut and relay the order (incorrectly) to a real florist who fill the order.

Yikes. There is still a lot we (human beings, that is) don't know about DNA - but at least we are making progress. This raises a fascination question - can any entity "understand" itself? In mathematical logic the construct of any class where the class includes itself leads to contradictions (e.g. "This statement is false"). This is a proven theorem. I have a wonderful proof that can that we can never understand ourselves, but this box is too small to contain it.
