Nine of my meds advise, "may cause drowsiness", so naps are of increasing importance. Being in the advanced age group adds to that trait.
Having cast since "62 makes me a senior, but much of the knowledge I use was found right here, at least the correct methods and not old wives tales.
Much of the stuff I thought I knew was just plain hogwash. The older I get, the dumber I find I was.
Information not shared. is wasted.
Some years ago i might have identified as libertarian but that group has been hijacked by some real nuts! Conservative is a better choice the liberal choice is often misunderstood as to many that claim they are liberal are actually socialist!
When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.
If you want to find liberals on a gun forum, try shot gun world, I think most all of em are..
If you want to see a liberal stand totally dumbfounded, mouth agape and at a loss for words, just ask him/her to define explicitly and exactly the difference between a liberal and a socialist. I've never found a single liberal who was capable of explaining the difference, the reason being that there is absolutely NO difference.

It's a sliding scale, but as a rule liberals still believe that capitalism is a useful tool but needs to be moderated with strong social safety nets, and generally view government as both protecting citizens from one another by mediating disputes and enforcing laws and protecting citizens against the perverse incentives of corporate profits (e.g. dumping toxic waste in your water supply, selling products that aren't entirely safe, ensuring allergens and known health risks are properly marked.) Good examples of liberal policy are Sweden, Germany, really most of Europe and Canada. Singapore enacts some liberal policy to fund healthcare but they tend to swing a little more fascist with government-enforced morality.
A socialist will tend to focus on labor-owned capital. Since socialism is an answer to capitalism rather than a dominant political philosophy, there is overlap in some areas but generally socialists see liberals as capitulating to capitalism and greed. There are Anarcho-Socialists and Voluntarist-Socialists that proscribe a non-hierarchical system (I think it's philosophical garbage but whatever), Communists and other statist-socialistswho envision a more totalitarian or authoritarian system, and a few other branches that fall in between.
Sorry, I tried to stand there with my mouth agape but really basic political science came out. Saying there's no difference between socialism and liberalism is like saying there's no difference between capitalism and oligarchy.
