Hi D&O,

I missed the duck thing. Apologies.

Re the Republican Party. I don't think I commented on your voting record. Just your principles, which tend to start with a traditional right of centre lean. Not the absolutist position of the far right which controls the Republican Party.

I think a right of centre lean is often reasonable. I am not sure why you prize being seen to be the centre. But I think the centre-right is also sometimes wrong. It was wrong about the effect of qe on inflation in the recent crisis, for instance.

As a general rule, I think you are a status quo conservative with a preference for gradualism.

Am I wrong about that?

Re guns - the status quo is a disaster. A Burkeian conservative gradualist approach does not do enough to solve the problem.

You want to hunt ducks, perhaps?

Maybe you missed where I said in a previous post that not only do I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to kill an animal for "pleasure", I don't even really understand it of those that do. One of the last things I want to do. Shoot, I even carry spiders outside rather than smash them.

I have shot guns a few times. The last time was circa 1977 or so.

Somebody remind me to start voting Republican, please.

Mr. Right of Center, over and out. (I guess that's down and out.)
