"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

This is pretty bad a$$ and should be an example for law enforcement across The United States.

Just because legislation is passed doesn't mean you have to follow it.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke warned of a second American revolution if gun control and gun confiscation passed and said he would not enforce laws requiring confiscation in his county

"I'm Sheriff David Clarke and I want to talk to you about something personal: your safety. It's no longer a spectator sport; I need you in the game. But are you ready? With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option. You can beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back. But are you prepared? Consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm so you can defend yourself until we get there. You have a duty to protect yourself and your family," he said in the ad.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I am just as against gun control as anyone else, but if we're going to start talking about the Constitution, it's the job of the executive branch to execute the laws that the legislature passes. If there is an interpretation problem, that is the judiciary's role. The three branches of government are each respectively supposed to make, enforce, and interpret the law. That's the very simple system that has made the Constitution last so long. When one of the branches over-steps its boundaries, it weakens the Constitution, which is the same document that gives us the right to own guns and to talk freely about gun control.

Any legislation that runs counter to the Constitution is null and void.
That's why we have the judiciary - to answer that question. The really good questions go all the way to The Supremes, but even they can hardly ever unanimously agree on anything.
