I can think of plenty of reasons to carry a pocket knife but I could never say it or show it better than they do at The Art Of Manliness in their video Why Every man Should Carry A Pocket Knife.
I can think of several more reasons, than they showed in the video, to carry one but I think they covered the reasons well enough to convince any man that he should carry a pocket knife. I must say though, I prefer one with a locking blade but carry both ones with a lock and without.
...over whether or not it should have taken up a case involving Obamacare (The Affordable Care Act) is nothing less than utter contempt for the Checks & Balances provided for under the Constitution of The United States of America and only again supports the claims of many that he imagines himself as being our king. Those checks & balances are part of the bedrock of our system of government that prevent any one branch of our government from becoming too powerful. President Obama's almost total disregard for constitutional law and his contempt for checks & balances are unprecedented as is his apparent penchant to attempt to create an image of himself as the King of America. See:
...if the planned regulation banning free speech about firearms technical data on the Internet is put into effect by the Obama Administration; that is if it goes into effect and if anyone is arrested and prosecuted under it. Not only would that be an unprecedented attack on people who exercise their rights and liberties under the 2nd Amendment but it would be the most blatant attack on the right to Freedom Of Speech to have taken place in my lifetime. The Obama Administration, specifically the Department of State is "...demanding that anyone who puts technical details about arms and ammo on the web first get the OK from the federal government — or face a fine of up to $1 million and 20 years in jail" (source). There really is little doubt in my mind that if such a ban is placed into effect, the revolution will have begun shortly after the first arrest, that is if it takes that long.
Can you imagine the gall of the petty bureaucrats in the Department of State to demand anything of U.S. Citizens and legal resident aliens as to there rights under the Constitution of the United States of America. I have news for those tyrannical paper pushers - free speech is ours as is the right to keep and bear arms! Molon labe.
