Anyone up for a trip to Scotland?

People who 'know best' now, glibly erase a thousand years of culture and tools and what actually works.


When you write law based upon what you want to see, rather than what is really there, you are on very dangerous ground.

If they do the same in England, I think Ill feel a religious awakening coming on.

Do all sikhs have to wear turbans & beards ? or can I get away with a knife & braclet , long hair & a comb & say well I am not a fundementalist Sikh about the rest of it?

Criminals will still use weapons to intimidate, kill and maim their victims regardless of what politicians decide the regular public can't be trusted with. I wonder where and when it will end?
 
I suppose every nation can do what it wants within the law of the specific lands, but it breaks my heart to think of the history, craftsmanship, and artistry of some of the stuff that must have been handed in. Old momentos, stored in closets and attics, the stuff of legends and and drama, handed in by the inheritors for fear of being in violation of the law.

When Australia confiscated or demanded the guns that didn't fall into their rather narrow definition of what was legal, news services ran shots of absolutely gorgeous classic shotguns and rifles being bull-dozed into a heap. It was a day of mourning for me.

Silly, I suppose, but archeologists and historians excavate precious tools from previous civilizations every day, treasuring the history they reflect. So many wonderful things...gone to the wrecker's yard, in the name of political "action."
