Whenever I see a sign…
…that says “War is not the answer, viagra sales and ” I think to myself, “it depends on what the question is.”
For example, “war” is a great answer if the question happens to be, “how do you stop Hitler from killing Jews?” Or “how do you free the slaves in America?”

What’s more dangerous than a handgun? People who don’t understand the role of the Supreme Court.
In this story about the reaction to yesterday’s Supreme Court decision on the Second Amendment there is a lot of handwringing about how the Court made the wrong decision.
Now, viagra usa help what’s funny, best cialis and is not one of those arguments state that the Supreme Court was wrong about their interpretation of the Second Amendment.
(They were, sales but only in that they didn’t give enough weight to the “shall not be infringed part.” As far as I’m concerned very few, if any, regulations should be able to withstand being measured by that phrase.)
The complaints in the story are that allowing guns in big cities is dangerous and thus the Supreme Court should have ignored the Second Amendment and voted the other way.
This is where the real problem lies. People do not understand the role the Supreme Court was meant to play in our balance of powers structure.
The Supreme Court is NOT meant to set policy.
It’s not supposed to decide whether or not a law is a “good” one.
It simply rules on whether or not a law violates the U.S. Constitution.
In this case, there really shouldn’t have even been an argument. There’s no way D.C.’s law conformed with the Second Amendment.
Now here’s the thing…if you don’t like the Second Amendment don’t blame the Supreme Court…amend it.
Quit being pissed when the Court does its (very limited) job.
What you should be pissed about is that FOUR of Supreme Court Justices think their job IS to decide whether or not they personally think a law is a good one regardless of what the Constitution says on the matter.
That’s more dangerous than any handgun.

NEWS FLASH! Second Amendment means what it says it means!
It amazes me that only five out of nine Supreme Court Justices understood that a complete ban on practical gun ownership violated the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
I’m not a big fan of George Bush, cialis discount but thank God he got to replace Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. I’m sure this would have went the other way, if she’d still been on the bench.

In an article about those interactive-voice-response systems you get when you call most big companies…
…I found this interesting little tidbit:
Americans spent 43 billion minutes on the line with an I.V.R. in 2007, best viagra prescription and only one caller in ten was satisfied.
And, yet, these companies would still rather make their customers unhappy than pay a few extra bucks to have a real, live, human being treat them with a little bit of respect.

I like guns
And I like toys.
But I don’t like toy guns that look like the real thing.
Cops lives are tough enough without making them try to decide if the assault rifle in the 14-year-old’s hands is real or a toy.

I never thought I’d see food riots in the U.S.
Isn’t this how the French and Russian revolutions started:
Milwaukee police said they have restored order this morning but will remain outside of the Marcia P. Coggs Human Services Center after a crowd awaiting free food vouchers – which never were to be distributed – became unruly this morning.

I’m still in Canada…
…and I still haven’t gotten any free healthcare.
Maybe I should get my tonsils removed or something while I’m still here?

I’ll try not to cause an international incident.
Again.
