eye long-ago names
It doesn't seem that long ago to me that the word 'irreverent' seemed affixed to my name. 'Irreverent newcomer.' I went from irreverent to venerable in what seems to me like the blink of an eye.
country military believe
America's gun culture demonstrates itself in the Wild West, Dirty Harry mentality of people who actually believe that if a number of people were armed in the theater in Aurora, they would have been able to take down this nutjob in body armor and military style artillery.

teenage believe gun
Our current gun culture simply ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy, and that more convenience-store confrontations over loud music coming from a car will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead.... What I believe is, if (Belcher) didn’t possess/own a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.... Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it.

He's got to do something (because) his tenure is going to be largely defined by this punishment. Bold action here is not the same as rash action. If he's got the evidence and he's in the right, he should take bold action. Even if he's defeated in court, he will win in the court of public opinion -- if he takes bold action. ... You can be deliberate and you can still be bold. Once he has it, he should do what he feels is in the best interest of baseball and let the chips fall where they may.
country effective night parts people track
He was cocky, but in an entertaining kind of way. He would track people down at all times of the day and night in all parts of the country to come on the air. He was aggressive, but in an effective way.
