Not a pastor (but close), Paul Harvey often said: "Self Government won't work without self discipline." (A similar quote is also attributed to Alan Keyes).

I don't use Mother's Best cornmeal - I have an affinity for Morrison's, having driven by the Morrison's Corn Kits plant every morning on the way to my college classes (at NTSU).

Another thing to worry about?

In case you're wondering how we devolve into chaos - this might be one way.

And, it might indirectly make the case for getting your CHL - you might need it when the Occupy Your House squatter, with your gun[s] inside said house, refuses to exit.
