The 10 O'Clock Scholar

I stumbled across a few references to my work that I hadn't realized were out there.


I wish I could read this article, but all you can access without a subscription is the preview page.
The referenced article is "A House Divided," and unfortunately, my old GUNS & AMMO articles are not online. As they own the copyrights, I can't just post those column here, but this is the passage being cited:
Has NRA caved in on gun rights, or are its critics just too radical and naive to understand real world hardball politics?

"Look at what NRA has given up," some may say.

"Look at what where we'd be if they hadn't," others might reply.

I was really trying to be even-handed, but leave the success of that attempt to those of you who have copies of that issue.

Next we have "Men, Dogs, Guns and Cars," a screed that marries "rugged individualism" with "seven bipolar tensions."


Researcher Elizabeth C. Hirschman goes off on a tangent about "nonwhite racial identity" and "white male dominance" and "self-abnegation, altruism, multiculturalism and interpersonal harmony," and to tell you the truth, knuckle-dragger me can't figure out what the hell she's babbling about, but it doesn't seem like she'd know what to do with a real man, a real car <

She reminds me of nothing so much as "Rebecca" from the famous (or it should be) tandem story assignment. And I've never met a true "rugged individualist" who lets advertising form his opinions anyway.

Likewise, the referenced article is copyrighted and I can't give it to you here. It was an examination of the causes of rebellion against England, with a comparison to "Intolerable Acts" we endure today.

I just find it interesting that the eggheads have given my stuff a nod, however minor, particularly since I've never been one to let establishment schooling interfere with my edjoocayshun. But I guess I shouldn't let it go to my head--I understand some of them also study chimps in the wild.
