The Gibson debacle is as good a rallying point as any. Seriously, raiding a well-known guitar factory with guns drawn? |

Seriously! What the hell has it come to when your own government doesn't want you to provide Americans with jobs?
The details to this are sickening. Expecially when our jobs market is in the crapper the way IT IS. |

I read an article on Slashdot the other day. People are afraid to travel with old vintage instruments for fear that they will be confiscated.
...If you play a vintage guitar, or a hand-built guitar made of old stock woods that were legally obtained years ago, you better not fly with it. John Thomas, a law professor at Quinnipiac University and a blues and ragtime guitarist, says, 'there's a lot of anxiety, and it's well justified.' Once upon a time, he would have taken one of his vintage guitars on his travels. Now, 'I don't go out of the country with a wooden guitar.'"...

Expecially when our jobs market is in the crapper the way IT IS. Let's not fool around. Let's start badgering our representatives to REPEAL the Lacy Act altogether. Since it can't be enforced with any kind of common sense, and can change when the wind blows, since it is based on OTHER countries' laws, we should repeal it in its entirety. We got along without it for years before, we don't need it now. Repeal Lacy. And whoever wrote that law, I hope he catches cancer, preferably a painful kind. |

y would i want a guitar? Ransom, don't u watch House MD? 
After House takes Wilson with him to break into the patient's home, Wilson gets an idea and starts cutting out letters from a newspaper. House asks what he is doing, "There's a sale on liquid Tide." Hot Deal! Get a new TiVo for just $49.99! Offer expires 10/23/2007! "If you're broke, I can lend you a tiny bit of the money I owe you." "Oh, no. I wouldn't put you in that position." Later House finds his guitar missing with a note that in cut out letters says, "I have your guitar. Tell no one. Await my instructions." When the phone rings, House answers with "Wilson, you idiot." Ane while the kidnapper makes demands in a distorted voice, House heads for Wilson's office where he demands, "Give it back." "What happened? Did someone kidnap your guitar? A $12,000 1967 Flying V? Or something? I am flattered you would consider me this bold and brilliant—" Wilson holds up a newspaper with cut out letters and pretends to read. After a little more, House demands, "What do you want?" "Me? Nothing. But I'm sure the kidnapper wants what every kidnapper wants, to see you interview five to seven qualified fellowship candidates." "I don't need a team." House finally gives in and goes to Wilson to get his guitar back, "Just give me the damn resumes.... And my guitar." "I don't have it. Although I did hear some plangent strumming from under that couch earlier." When House looks there, Wilson tells him, "Wow. This kidnapper isn't just bold, he's diabolical. I guess he realized he probably shouldn't give it back to you until after you've had the interviews." House shows Wilson a box with the guitar equivalent of a severed finger. Wilson seems to be appalled. "Oh... my... God. This guy means business. Or guys. Could be multiple... Could be multiple guys. Or a gal. Who knows? All I can say is, this reeks of boldness." "I am not hiring a team. "You ever tighten a guitar string really, really slowly? Past the point it can handle the strain? It makes this weird... sound. Almost like a scream." |

Take it they will. Any fucking time they like. Just wait for the next time you fly with a guitar - the TSA will be looking for you. Yet another federal agency climbs upon the desk to piss in your face. what will you do when the TSA calls the fish cops and holds your property for them to come inspect? So, if you really like your Gibson, play it quietly at home. Don't cross any borders with it, because they absolutely will take it from you, and there is not much you can do about it. |

They don't have the money, this generation doesn't have the money, and the next generation doesn't have the money. One way or another that problem will fix itself, probably in the most unpleasant way. Meanwhile, you know full well or should that fixing the gun registry is not the end all of Canada's problems. You have hate speech laws that destroy freedom of speech, police that detain pregnant women on the way to the hospital, and socialized medicine that means your pets can get a CT scan easier than you can. Of course, they have passed the same nonsense in this country, but I predict much turn around as soon as we get rid of obama. |
