THR Move, or Forked.

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Oleg has recreated The High Road over at www.thehighroad.us. From the email Oleg sent out to members:

Welcome to the new home of The High Road(tm) forum.

My name is Oleg Volk, and I am the owner of The High Road(tm). When I started the forum in 2002, my vision was to create a place where people from around the world could engage in cordial discussion of RKBA related matters. Since then, you have helped make The High Road(tm) one of the best places on the web for learning about firearms, for educating new shooters and for supporting effective advocacy of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Due to pending legal issues, I am moving the forum to a new home at TheHighRoad.us. This is the one and only official site at this time, owned by me. The same high standards of civility apply. In the near future, we will provide more than just a forum. The High Road(tm) is becoming an information and activism center for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

With the help of GeoVario, our new host, The High Road(tm) is now online in its new home. The new location of The High Road(tm) — http://www.thehighroad.us — will serve our members while the conversion of the .org domain name by THR’s former sysadmin is being challenged in court (Copy of the complaint available: http://www.geovario.com/legal/Complaint1.pdf ).

Feel free to mirror this announcement on your blog (here is a link to mine with details of this matter and how you can help. http://olegvolk.livejournal.com/474369.html ). If you link to THR, please update the link to point to thehighroad.us Eventually, both .us and .org addresses will point to the same site again.

Thank you all
– Oleg Volk, Owner
The High Road(tm)

I’m following Oleg and moving to the new domain.

Uncommitted Ohio Voters

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

So, I’m watching the debate and I see the ticker at the bottom showing immediate approval ratings from some uncommitted Ohio voters. They’ve done stuff like this before, live, during the debates, but it never struck me before just how fickle that is.

I guaran-damn-tee you there are people watching this thing and using that little graph like an ‘ask the audience’ life line in figuring out who’s actually right, and they’re the ones that are going to decide this election. A good 15% of the voting population, based on previous exit polls, are still making up their mind.
