Let Freedom Ring ala Pike County, Illinois

Go here quidini pro quo and read her blog; or go directly to the blogger's source at:

http://www.theoutdoorwire.com/tow_final.php?date=2007-4-26, and scroll down about half the page to see the article. My thanks to her for this heads up about a revolutionary event, revolutionary in the name of freedom and protecting our rights and our Constitution.

It is amazing that you most likely will not see this on any of the media's Internet sites. I just searched for it and could not find it at FoxNews, CNN or the BBC (maybe it is there and I missed it, but I sought of doubt that they would write it up - it probably is too right sided revolutionary for the leftists to want to bear). The gist of it is that Pike County, Illinois has told the state of Illinois that it will disregard any and all anti-firearms legislation as the county believes such legislation to be in violation of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms! Bravo to them, it may turn out yet to be the cannon shot heard round the world.

Hopefully the NRA will start publicizing this, so more people hear about it.

All the best,

Yikes - what is up with Blogger?

I guess you get what you pay for, and since I paid nothing for use of this site, maybe that is why I have been having so many problems lately. My bet is Blogger or Google will soon institute a pay for use whereby you get live help, but that is only a guess.

My problems have been many, and have only been recent, within the past few weeks, ever since they converted everyone with an old Blogger account to a Google account (or so I was told). It seems things on my own blog keep disappearing such as my link lists to other bloggers, my link list to reference material, my firearms related lists. I also have a great amount of difficulty connecting to other sites using those lings, but I think only the other sites that use Blogger. In addition my link to site meter at the bottom of the page has come and gone a few times, and each time I enter in the html code, it shows up again in a different place even though the code has not changed. All very spooky; and if it was only happening on my home PC I would think virus, but it is happening on other PCs from which I access my blog. I have also heard of others having problems connecting, or finding blogs on the site since they allegedly switched everyone to a Google account. Hopefully this is a bug on the Blogger end and they will fix it soon, but heck how do they even become aware that end users are having problems; there is no link for contacts to them on their site as far as I know!

Oh well, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will be fixed soon. Lest I forget, I should again point out I get all of this for free, so I guess I cannot complain too much. I suppose it is a case of me taking things for granted, since in essence they were granted to me. Blogger on the whole is a good thing, and they usually keep it running well, I just hope it stays that way.

All the best,
