Its' a shame they dont' have Playmates checking junk, they would sell more tickets.
And what's more, other than EX-cess is SUC-cess?
You're not the only one, brother...
We think allot alike...
If I make all of my decisions based on corporate affiliations.
Then, I SHOULD NOT DO BUSINESS WITH anyone who supports/affiliates with AARP. And, I'm not even a member of AARP. I bet AARP is really scared now.
Aloha, Mark
Just finished mine as well.
So, you want/wish to see change take place at the NRA from within? If so...."How (and in what form) would that look like?" But then, if I'm wrong......enlighten me. I'm listening.
Anyway....no insult intended. But, since you sort of asked.....
...assuming you are an NRA member of course....
My response is.....
I am the NRA (Life Member).
And, I vote.
LOL. If you were attempting to discredit me by questioning my NRA status. It's was noted. Don't worry, I wasn't all bent out of shape over it. This is not a d#@^ measuring contest. So, I'm just asking....
What is your NRA status?
I don't want to assume anything. Not that I care.......because, NRA or NOT NRA........I respect your right to have an opinion and to state it here. Of course.....following the rules as laid out by the Forum.
Now, moving along......
Having said that, as for my post about not supporting corporations (and the others) who wish to support/advocate for the AARP. Well, I won't actually be carrying around a list of companies and organizations. I won't and don't really let those little things matter in my life.
I'm a retired Govt worker. I may not have owned and run my own business. But, I guess* you didn't include that in your post just to brag (maybe, maybe not, whatever). Probably, it was just to point out where you're coming from. That is: Business matters and that having a boycott of one's business matters.
Yup.....the NRA could be thought of as a "business." And, so could the AARP.
*I'm sorry, I should have learned my lesson about "guessing" about what/how someone thinks/feels. LOL.....maybe some might have seen the humor, maybe not. Yes, I am capable of my own attempt(s) at humor. If you're offended....I apologize. Jeez. So, many hurt feelings. So, moving along.....
For those who were offended by my using the AARP in my example. You are probably asking, "So, why did he pick on the AARP?"
Hey, I know that they support many good causes and things that I can agree with. But then, the AARP also has political issues that I don't agree with (that have no connection to ageing) and they also support many "left wing politicians" that do not support my views. In other words: I have my own "line in the sand" and they have crossed it many times. Your line in the sand may differ. So be it.
Maybe, the NRA has crossed your line in the sand?
Whatever.
AARP. The discounts. Nah. That's a bad (or just not a good enough) reason for me to join.
Having said all of that......I too, don't like the idea of voting by mail for everyone. Speaking only about WA at this time. Recognizing, State's Right and all that. But, the issue of the potential for FRAUD VOTING is another issue/topic (probably not appropriate for this thread).
Aloha, Mark
PS.....my post may seem to some, to be overly long. Yes, it is, I agree. But, I've tried to be clear (clear enough anyway) while trying not to offend anyone. LOL. As if it's possible (that is, not to offend anyone in this day and age).
Great.
