Our anniversary was yesterday, Jack.
Who knew? Well, I knew, but I forgot. Even though I happened to see the date the other day and told myself I'd write something worth reading.
Ideas escape me, but if you want some disjointed rambling and rants, keep on reading. Otherwise, powder off.
Either this DFC read something of mine someplace (I'm guessing here), or one of my half-dozen or so loyal readers is trying to make me feel better.
Keep reading with the usual warning and caveat.
Mark Keith Robinson (R) was elected in 2020 to the office of Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina. Mark is a Republican and is the first African American to hold the office.
This speech, which kicked off his political career, was given at a meeting of the Greensboro (NC) City Council, where council members were publicly debating canceling a local gun show in the wake of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
From Mark Robinson's speech:
The law-abiding citizens of this community and many communities around this country, we're the first one taxed and the last ones considered and the first ones punished when things like this happens, because our rights are the ones being taken away.
I don't think I've ever heard it said more succinctly.
