you are being such a winehiner about this. >> bill: somebody fikes it.he problem is this is a town of fakers. >> i would agree with you on that >> bill: this is a town of fakers. for that, if you sort of thought everything was real. james taylor was real. kelly clarkson was real. barack obama was real. john roberts. sonia sotomayor. screw it, if beyonce can't sing for real, get somebody else up there. january is out in chicago. hi jan. >> hi, bill. i always love your point of view. so i am with you. in the minority >> bill: you and me together, babe. >> that's it. go ahead. >> yeah. but, you know, james taylor was interviewed on one of the programs yesterday, and he said he was concerned for himself that his fingers might freeze up and he couldn't play his guitar. >> that was my first thought when i saw him get the guitar out. >> that really is unfair of her at the very least to put those other two performers in the position where they could fall flat on their face because of the weather, but she is too important. she can't fall flat on her face because

i'm hugh fike sr. i live in petaluma. thanks for holding this forum. i am glad to hear you mention the high-grade shotguns of the aristocracy uses in england. i hope it does not come to that. but it seems to be that politicians are aiming for rifles and pistols to be taking out of the citizens' hands and only birding guns will be left. i hope that at some point in the future you have maybe a forum on hospital violence, for example. far more people are killed by medical accidents in america than by guns. i am always fascinated that the first amendment is interpreted so liberally as to include a jar of urine with a crucifix in it, yet the second amendment is interpreted so strictly that the rights of the people shall not be infringed. it's somehow does not apply in many cases. i am glad to hear you say that guns are protected by the second amendment. so what seems to be happening is politicians going after ammunition. they want to increase the cost of ammunition to a point where it is unusable. thank you.
