This is from the comments section of an article in the New Republic. The Fail is so astronomic, we need to bring back Carl Sagan to deal with it.

Except that there was not only a discussion but a paper published by the Anti-Federalists who eventually led to that pesky addition called the Bill of Rights:

That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and their own state, or the United States, or for the purpose of killing game; and no law shall be passed for disarming the people or any of them, unless for crimes committed, or real danger of public injury from individuals; and as standing armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up: and that the military shall be kept under strict subordination to and be governed by the civil powers.

But a lie repeated enough times……

A popular restaurant in northern California is taking heat for targeting a unique group of people: children.

A sign displayed on Old Fisherman’s Grotto’s door warns that the Monterey establishment prohibits strollers, high chairs and booster chairs. In addition, the restaurant has no tolerance for loud kids.

“Children crying or making loud noises are a distraction to other diners and as such are not allowed in the dining room,” the sign says.

I know that some would consider this heartless and unfair, but I will agree 100% with the sentiment of the owner.  This is not your local McD’s but a serious and probably expensive place and part of enjoying a meal is to do it so with a modicum of tranquility.

If you have not taught your kids to behave like polite human beings, you should not force other people to withstand you lack of parenting skills.
