An interesting web page...

John Lott and David Mustard, in which they offer statistical evidence
that laws requiring states to issue concealed carry permits to
ordinary citizens reduce some forms of crime.It was created and is
maintained by David

Gotta love a marine!!
A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The professor of one of the classes was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.
One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, “God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this podium. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.” The lecture hall fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, “Here I am God. I'm still waiting.” It was down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking him off the platform.
The Marine resumed his seat and sat there, patiently. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, “What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?” The Marine calmly replied, “God was busy protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me in answer your prayer.”

Seizing the momentum
Nutz
It's never hard to be under-whelmed by the logic on either side of the Presidential campaign on any issue; however, in today's Pilot
(page 3), both candidates failed miserably to respond with a plan to
lead this country out of the economic mess we're in. It doesn't matter
who caused the meltdown: Wall street tycoons, unscrupulous lenders,
Republicans or Democrats. The issue to be dealt with by the next
president is how do we begin building a solid, bottom-up, economic
recovery? Period. No more moaning or finger pointing!
proposed the adoption of the FAIR TAX, but neither did. As bad as the
economy is getting, it is going to take a revolutionary idea to fix the
problem. The FAIR TAX would eliminate the IRS, federal personal and
corporate income tax and levy a 22% sales tax on every transaction
involving the purchase of new merchandise or assets. What does this
tax change accomplish?
country is paying his fair share, from illegal immigrants to trust fund
babies. The sales tax is collected at the point of purchase and it
doesn't matter how many tax attorneys or CPA's you can afford, it's
still 22% on all new cars, boats, houses and clothes. How much tax do
you pay on a used car? None.
business owners and wealthy individuals world wide to emigrate to the
US. Why? No personal income tax and no corporate taxes. Will they
bring their businesses with them? You bet. Will those businesses
employ Americans? You bet. Will that cause a rise in real wages?
Yes, and that is exactly what is needed to help solve the problem that
is at the core of the current crisis: the crash in real estate prices
and over-extended personal debt.
we're in, but we'll need help to do it. The FAIR TAX is the foundation
on which to build a bottom-up economic recovery!

Chet Back in the News
NORFOLK
The arrest of a man for openly carrying a gun at a Norfolk festival
did not violate the U.S. Constitution but the police officer who asked
for the man's Social Security number might have violated his civil
rights, a federal judge ruled this week.
Chester "Chet" Szymecki Jr. of Yorktown sued the city after his
arrest in June 2007 on a charge of violating a city ordinance
prohibiting firearms at Harborfest, held annually at Town Point Park.
Szymecki, a gun rights advocate, has challenged handgun bans in the
past. During his arrest, Szymecki claims police pushed him and that
when he complained that the handcuffs were on too tight, an officer
made them tighter.
During his arrest and later, when he was released from custody,
police asked him for his Social Security number. He initially balked,
but gave it to the officers to avoid being detained longer, he says in
his suit.
The charge was later thrown out after city officials learned that it
violated a state law that prohibits localities from regulating firearms.
Szymecki sued in federal court claiming multiple constitutional
violations, including the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear
arms and the Fourth Amendment prohibition against unlawful searches and
seizures.
U.S. District Judge Henry Coke Morgan Jr. ruled Thursday that
Szymecki cannot sue claiming constitutional violations under state or
local law. Morgan ruled earlier this year that the city did not violate
the Second Amendment for the same reason.
"It is well settled law in this circuit that the Second Amendment
does not apply to the states," Morgan wrote in dismissing Szymecki's
constitutional claims. "Because the Second Amendment does not apply to
the states, neither a state law nor a local ordinance can run afoul of
any right guaranteed by the Second Amendment."
However, Morgan ruled that the police demand for Szymecki's Social
Security number - if the allegation is true - would have violated the
federal Privacy Act.
Morgan will allow the case to go to trial on that issue alone. The trial has been set for Dec. 16.

because there was no news. Not one drop of oil was released
into the environment due to the passing of Gustav's 115 mph winds

production technology allows the extraction of these vital energy sources
without damage to the environment, even during the worst weather that mother
nature can create.
then that's probably what's going to happen in the long run. Developing
our own natural resources is not just a matter of economics, it's a matter of
national security.
part of the solution, not part of the problem. Please remember this fact
