Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine"
I would be most interested in hearing a perspective from Thedautch since he is a politics/policy guy living in Washington, D.C. which happens to have the most restrictive gun laws in the entire country. Am I correct that D.C. still enjoys the dist...

Thanks to all and especially Ivanj (sorry about having to use the scanner) if I get the article. You are a great bunch.Patrick 
Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine"
Thirty percent of the adults in the county where I live have a conceal carry permit. In fact, the sheriff must have a compelling reason NOT to issue such a permit by state law. Without a doubt, the criminals have guns and I'm glad that law abiding...

It's the small things that drive you nuts...
Sean, I'm with you on this cable dressing issue. I think the standard should be two power cord inputs, one right and one left allowing the installer to decide which to use. I also agree with Mdomnick that the back of a system rack should be open. ... 
What are you thankful for?
Zaikesman nailed it! I agree 100%. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.Patrick 
Hendrix blues
If you like Hendrix doing the blues, you should check out Buddy Guy. There are numerous similarities and the recordings are far superior to the Hendrix stuff. You won't be disappointed. I remember well the one, two, three punch of losing Jimi, Jan...
