The young protesters aren't "savvy"; they just didn't know that repealing the Second Amendment was possible.

By "brilliantly effective," what the writer of the Washington Post article is describing is a compromise that the March For Our Lives people didn't know that they don't have to make.  

I also think that perhaps I don't understand some of the writer's argument.  Is he saying that you have to have a constitutional protection of the right to have guns before you can pass laws saying that people can't have guns?

If that's what he's saying, then I have to disagree with his lack of faith in Congress.  I think that Congress could figure out how to pass laws such as "You can't have those guns; give them to the police so they can dispose of them."

Macy's anti-union training video

I was surprised and grateful when Macy's in Boston hired me to work for the 2017-2018 holiday season.  Most of the people with whom I worked were nice and it was fun. Being from Vermont, I had always thought of Macy's as being very ritzy; I think that is Macy's reputation around the world, and perhaps that reputation was accurate in the past.  Unfortunately, the store in Boston is physically disintegrating from what seems to me to be neglect at the corporate office level.  I sent emails about that to Macy's human resources before my employment was ended.  Hopefully, someone will read them and stop this famous American store from being run into the ground.  If the store can be saved, I'd also like to mention that several customers asked about gift-wrapping during the holiday season, and they were all disappointed that Macy's stopped offering that amenity years ago.   Also; I was shocked that part of the training for employment was to watch a video portraying unio

Nobody should think that threatening me with voyeurism and involuntary pornography will make me say what you want me to say, or not say what you don't want me to say.

When I realized that these crimes had started to happen to me, I also knew that people would threaten me with them whenever they didn't like what I was saying.   My response to that was to publish pages about how threatening me with these sexual assaults would not make me say what the people threatening me wanted me to say.   That was in 2011.  Since then, the sexual assaults have escalated so that they are treated as if they are normal, funny and what I deserve.   ALTHOUGH I WISH I WERE NEVER BORN AND NEVER STOP THINKING ABOUT KILLING MYSELF, THOSE ASSAULTS DON'T MAKE ME SAY WHAT THE PEOPLE WHO THREATEN ME WITH THEM WANT ME TO SAY, AND THEY DON'T STOP ME FROM SAYING WHAT THEY DON'T WANT ME TO SAY. THE SICK, SADISTIC, ILLEGAL VIDEOS OF ME AREN'T MY CRIMES!  THEY ARE EVIDENCE OF CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST ME, AND PEOPLE WHO USE THEM TO TRY TO INTIMIDATE ME SHOULD BE ASHAMED! DO YOU HEAR WHAT I'M TELLING YOU?!  THIS IS YOUR SHAME!  IT'S NOT MY SHAME!  STOP FORCI
