To people who think movies, video games and guns make the world more violent…

I just have to say, cialis sales search before there were movies, video games and guns there were:

• The Crusades
• Viking raids
• Head hunting
• David killed Philistines for their foreskins
• Rapes
• Pillaging
• Cannibalism
• Honor killings
• Pogroms
• Human sacrifice
• And Cain killing Abel.

The fact is modern America is radically less violent than almost any time in the history of the world. (Don’t think violence has declined? Start by watching this: http://www.ted.com/talks/steven_pinker_on_the_myth_of_violence.html).

So I think we can relax a little about the dangers of movies, video games, and – yes- even guns.

In fact, I would guess that religion and politics have resulted in far more deaths than movies, video games, and the mere existence of guns…but you don’t hear anyone calling to ban them, do you?

For those of you who have ever wondered how my girl Caroline looks…kind of like this, but prettier.

Thinking as a Libertarian, I’d be happy to throw open the borders, tomorrow

Thinking as a historian, I remember what happened to the Native Americans when they had a similar policy.

What’s wrong with you people?

Don’t you know that closing Guantánamo doesn’t matter at all…until about eight minutes after a Republican becomes President again (if that ever happens in my lifetime).

I hear Beyonce lip-synced the National Anthem at Barack Obama’s Inauguration

I wonder if she used a teleprompter, too?

Remember when people said John McCain probably wouldn’t make it through his first term as President because he was too old

He’s still alive isn’t he?

Yeah, that’ll do it

In an attempt to improve school safety in the wake of the Newtown school killings, Homestead High School in Mequon is telling students not to open exterior doors for anyone during school hours.

Because a man with a gun is no match for a glass door.
