  • KEEP CLINGING TO THOSE GUNS, BOYS!

    ''Red Dawn'' and movies like it are paeans to violent manhood. I hang out on several newgroups frequented mainly by radio hobbyists, and some of the member (almost all men) of those groups tend to go off into gun-wielding fantasy murderous fugues from time to time. It seems to happen when some post or other reminds them of the many enemies of the ...

  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • Thanks for not applying american ideals to an age old debate

    The fact remains that police, government, and all emergency agencies are REACTIONARY. Meaning they only respond after the fact has been committed. Finland has long been cited by pro-gun advocates and this article just as before provides ample reason on not restricting guns since even the most stringent tests won't tell you when somebody will go ...

  • The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

  • Barack Obama's Campaign Difficulties, from A to Z

    A is for ''an Academic'', is he too much of one? And does this mean he's unable to have down-home fun? B is for ''too Black or not black enough,'' is he the former or the latter, and If we've transcended race, does it really matter? C is for ''dealing with Hillary Clinton'', now there's a sticky wicket! Can he assuage her supporters without ...

  • Re: Wow..

    I have no problem voting for a black man (or woman) as long as I can agrre with his policies. Back in the 2000 race, I was really hoping Colin Powell would run; he could have been the first black president with half the people not even realising he was black. Personally, I can not vote for Obama because he is too weak on crime; he is against the ...

  • Great piece except the last paragraph.

    Your piece about governments of all kinds using bad science, or no science, to justify forcing labelling requirements on us was great until you made the great leap to state that handguns kill thousands of people a year yet they can't be outlawed. Unfortunately you have jumped on the anti gun bandwagon claiming that an inanimate object, the gun, ...

  • Re: Which kills more? not the real issue

    The amount of actual death caused by drugs is a relatively miniscule amount of the overall social, physical, psychological, moral and economic pathology caused by drug abuse and drug addiction. If ODs were the only thing bad about drug abuse, then drug abuse wouldn't really be all that bad. As a secondary point, how many shootings were ...

  • Whoopsie, indeed

    Well, sorry Dahlia, but millions of people in this country never considered this question of law to be ''settled'' at all. If a bunch of judges were willing to decide a matter of legal rights specifically addressed in the Constitution based on one case, involving one type of weapon, in which the defendants never even showed up, well, I'd call THAT ...

  • 2nd amendment read as one not two statements

    ''A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'' My reading of the amendment which takes it as a whole not two parts. In order to keep the militia well regulated, so that it may secure our free state (without reducing the state to non-free), ...
