In my opinion, Stuart is absolutely correct. And, that's twice in the last week or so that I've agreed with Stuart. I suspect he'd be as surprised as I am. ;-)
Rhys,
If your only felony notch is pot from 1998 and you'd like to see if you can clear that off your record so that it doesn't preclude the opportunities it may be keeping you from, drop me a line and I'll try to help.

An interesting piece in the New York Times about the change in advise when it comes to saving your life during an active shooter/mass shooting incident.
See: In Shift, Police Advise Taking an Active Role to Counter Mass Attacks
"The speed and deadliness of recent high-profile shootings have prompted police departments to recommend fleeing, hiding or fighting in the event of a mass attack, instead of remaining passive and waiting for help...Research on mass shootings over the last decade has bolstered the idea that people at the scene of an attack have a better chance of survival if they take an active stance rather than waiting to be rescued by the police, who in many cases cannot get there fast enough to prevent the loss of life."
"As Barack Obama begins his second term in office, trust in the federal government remains mired near a historic low, while frustration with government remains high. And for the first time, a majority of the public says that the federal government threatens their personal rights and freedoms.
"The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted Jan. 9-13 among 1,502 adults, finds that 53% think that the federal government threatens their own personal rights and freedoms while 43% disagree."
"And just all of a sudden, with one kick, he knock the door completely in. The frame came flying down. Things came flying everywhere," Pam recalled. "And he saw that I had the gun, and he grabbed the door handle and pulled the door shut.""

Last week, I heard the term "blog vomit" for the first time. I wasn't sure what that term meant. Now, I completely understand.
