good stuff, guys-

I'm still a Texan, and will die one, if not there.
but I like The Virginia code - open carry, since 1620.... and only a couple of years ago, the legislature guaranteed that the right to keep and bear arms is an inalienable (except felons and CRAZIES) right.

and about Rommel- if I'm not badly mistaken (possible) his eldest son was the mayor of Stuttgart or Heidelberg - both very conservative, pro-West cities, with large NATO presence- in the late 70s - early 80s. Papa must have done something right.

the Nazis suspected, or knew, that Rommel was in on the Hitler assassination plot at the Wofsschanze (wolf's lair)- and relieved Erwin and he was encouraged to take his life with a poisoned piece of fruit rather than shame his family.
