I wouldn’t bother with Free Republic.
I’d travel back to little teen-aged humblegunner and
lay down the law about a few things, kick his arrogant little butt and
then reiterate those things in which he might show improvement and those
which he should avoid.
Then I might even kick his ass again, just because he was a prick.
It’s not to late.
I’d be careful about that. If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on the younger humblegunner . . .
I would go back when Gold was cheap and buy the hell out of it. or travel back to 1980s before the weapons ban and buy a bunch of FN-Fals or Colt AR15 when they were affordable.
I was honestly surprised to see that this was written by you and not some blogger. :-)
