WTF?!!!
Please read this before June 21st! Time sensitive!
Spread the word. Don't let the man screw you again.
US Customs Agency is trying to outlaw the majority of knives sold, carried and used lawfully in the US with some very broad redefining of the term "switchblade"
Essentially, Customs is saying that any knife whose blade folds within its frame and can be opened in ANY fashion with a single hand should be considered a switchblade. This is not a new law, but a revision upon a law that has been serving its purpose since 1958.
This could potentially open up the doors to an all out ban of this style of pocket knives, or just ban the importation of them. Considering that Customs has tried slipping this right by the public and has denied any extensions requests to receive or hear comments from the public, I am inclined to believe the former.
If you would like to know more about this, including the full text regarding the change, please click the digg link below. Also found on the linked page are form letters you can send to Customs and your local senator or representative.
The comment letter to Customs MUST be printed, signed and mailed. I know it's a pain in the ass, but Customs is not accepting emails on this issue. Yet another reason to be suspicious of their motives (or maybe I'm a little too paranoid, either way) Your letter to Customs must also be Received before June 21st, so send it by the 18th at the latest.

She says: "I wish I could make you feel the pain i feel, so I wouldn't be the only one."
I reply: "Because I definitely feel awesome about it."
It's horrible that someone has to feel pain because of me, but I can't love someone that I don't love. I guess we don't always get what we want.

232 Years. This country has had an interesting history. I'm looking forward to this social experiment.
On a somewhat related note:
I prepared a rant about something. I encapsulated it for those who may not care.

I am going to have significantly less free-time shortly. I will now be working 7 shifts in 6 days for the next month. I really am happy I love my job so much, I can't imagine working this hard doing something I hated. Hoping to buy a couple of new toys before the next president is inaugurated.
Yes, I am voting.
No, I am not voting for Obama.
No, I am not voting for McCain.
I am voting for someone who is not evil. If that means I am voting for Smoochy the Rhino, so be it. It's not like my vote really counts.

I was really hoping to catch the debate tomorrow, but I have to work.
...
Hoping I can convince the guy who was supposed to be working to take it back. Running heavy on shifts this week.
