It's good enough for Russia, China, and Myanmar, and worked just fine in WWII Germany.

This was done before--successfully--and gas prices dropped 15 cents in one day. It makes a huge difference in the profits of the oil companies for one day. It also makes a much needed statement.

A disgruntled student at Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Va., went on a shooting spree. Peter Odighizuwa tragically shot six people, killing Dean Anthony Sutin, Associate Professor Thomas Blackwell, and student Angela Dales.

Most news reports pointed out that the situation ended when several students "confronted," "tackled," or "intervened." However, Tracy Bridges, Ted Besen, Todd Ross, and Mikael Gross did not merely "confront" Odighizuwa. Bridges and Gross separately ran to their cars to get their handguns once the shooting began. Bridges approached Odighizuwa with Besen's and Ross' aid. Gross was close behind. According to Bridges, "I aimed my gun at him, and Peter tossed his gun down." Bridges, Besen, and Gross had previously received police or military training.

Unfortunately, the media did not point out that the "intervening" students were armed. A Lexis-Nexis search revealed 88 stories on the topic, of which only two mentioned that either Bridges or Gross were armed.

I think we declare victory and pull the troops. However; the House and Senate are giving the insurgents (notice I did not say OUR enemy) a time frame to regroup. Screw it; let's pull out but not deliver the stinking date. We pull Akbar to the side and say..."Yo bro, we have done all we are going to do. Get your head out of your rear and start planning for an Iraq with out our (USA) children. And Akbar; have a nice life, and when you call dial 1-800-collect!"

It looks like its starting now.
One GOP-monkey is already gone.
Gingrich screwed his secretary on his tax-payer-bought desk, while his wife was dying in a hospital bed, the same day he voted to impeach Clinton.
Bob Barr wrote a check to an abortion clinic, for....an abortion...after voting for every abortion ban that came up.

I am writing an essay about gun control, and I am stuck as to where to begin.

I am writing about how we don't need to change the gun control laws we have now, and how the laws we have now don't even work.

Please help!!

Somewhere in the heartland there are those who haven't forgotten.
They're planning their own video and new world record while America sleeps.

what is up, why can't we just go in and wipe out the enemy with a strong force.

it's like were peeing on a fire when we really need a bucket to put it out.

If were going to be at war, why not hit them hard and end it. Insted were just poking at a wound and expecting it to heal.


so what is it that is getting in the way of a full on attack in Iraq...I know it's a lot of politics but I want to know.

thanks

Those people have some nerve. You make a decision to come to this country illegally, demand rights, amnesty, then protest and throw it in our faces. I have my feelings, but how do you feel about this?
