LIUNA Says, 'We Put a Man on the Moon - 'We Should Be Able to Cross the Mi
2007-08-07 19:04:00 Currently a variety of funding sources provide infrastructure funding and all fall short of needs. Oh really? Why should we abandon funds for continuing the war in Iraq and instead channel them towards continuing the war against collapsing bridges, roadways, dams and other infrastructure in the United States?! Isn't having more young Americans being killed more important than this tiny, little, insignificant problem? Get a grip, America. We are better than this. We are being ridiculed for too many reasons already and it is time to turn it around! READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives. You will be leaving your children a beautiful legacy.

7-Year-Old Girl Chases Armed Robber
2007-08-07 18:40:00 Courage is spelled A-L-I-S-H-A for this little girl did the opposite of what most children would do when faced with a similar situation. I wish I could meet her and give her a hug and a kiss for being such a fearless human being who knew that a bad guy was doing wrong.Hope she gets a medal for bravery, lots of fabulous presents, buys the only type of gun that will be available for purchase by the time she turns 18 (non-lethal) and has a great deal of fun making the rounds of the television talk show circuit.

San Francisco Mayor Signs Toughest Gun Law in Country into Effect
2007-08-03 21:49:00 I highly commend this man for two important reasons: 1) He showed that he is a decent and beautiful caring individual who recognizes the basic human rights of ALL consenting adult human beings (regardless of their sexual orientation) who are in love and wish to be able to be married in his state and 2) He showed that he is a decent and beautiful caring individual who recognizes the basic human rights of ALL human beings to live their lives in a better, safer, less violent manner daily, due to the fact that in his state, gun owners must become more responsible with their weapons and for both of these actions I say, "thank you, Mr. Mayor ."

6-Year-Old Boy Drowns in Pool Accident in Connecticut
2007-07-31 19:29:00 What a terrible, terrible tragedy for this innocent child and his family. After doing a search on the subject of pool intake pumps, I saw a story about them going back to 1999 talking about how dangerous to children they can actually be and steps you can take to ensure children's safety when around these intake pumps.

New Non-Lethal Personal Protection Device for Consumers Available for Pre-S
2007-07-28 19:27:00 The Avurt IM-5 launcher is a small, handheld device that launches up to five PAVA filled projectiles at attackers up to 40 feet away. It's safe, easy to use, and highly effective at disabling attackers before they get close enough to do harm. The IM-5 launcher's PAVA filled projectiles are non-lethal, but will leave an attacker choking and temporarily blinded, allowing a victim can escape to safety. It protects from greater distances than Mace(TM) or aerosol pepper sprays, and it doesn't have the potential to be lethal the way firearms or stun guns do. Although I would hate to have to use it, I would do so in order to save a life, hence when the website is ready, I will definitely be looking at the cost of this item.

Undocumented Citizens Rush to File Paperwork Before Filing Fee Rises
2007-07-28 03:10:00 A $400 application filing fee is bad enough, but now it is going to rise to $675 or perhaps even $1,000? This is simply and unequivocally WRONG and OUTRAGEOUS and I cannot understand why my America is placing such a roadblock to citizenship!!!!! A $100 filing fee is more than enough to pay for this privilege...uh...excuse me service. Why does it need to be so damn expensive in order for an undocumented immigrant to become a legal citizen of the United States of America? Well according to the U.S. Citizen ship and Immigration Services, the fees are needed to speed up the application process and balance the agency?s budget. Horse manure!!! The fees are actually needed in order to balance somebody's pockets so that they keep from falling over the next time they walk to their power lunch.

Drunk Astronauts Flying Around in Space?
2007-07-27 23:31:00 My first thought was, "WHHAAAAAT?! drunk astronauts flying a great big ship around up there in space?!!!!!! What would happen if they hit the wrong switch on one of their computers and ended up crashing into a meteor or something? Isn't there enough trouble with malfunctioning space ship equipment without adding substance abuse into the mix? This is really ludicrious, and I'm sure that you'll agree. We wouldn't want to get into a bus with an intoxicated driver or into an airplane with a pilot who was wasted on some kind of substance, would we? So wouldn't it make sense to extend these same rules of safety to the outer stratosphere? Yes indeed, you bet it would and NASA, this is quite embarrassing.

Boston Bikers Ride Against Domestic Violence

I say don't judge a book by its cover, dear readers, you have to open it and read it first.

California Democrats Want to Ban Smoking in Private Vehicles Around our Chi
2007-07-27 22:10:00 It seems to me that if we love our children and wish them to live healthier, longer and happier lives, we wouldn't DESIRE to see their lungs become infected by our smoking habits.Why should they contract respiratory diseases because we couldn't control ourselves? Do we not teach them to look both ways before stepping off a curb outside? Come on, Mr. Governator Schwarzenegger - I expect you'll do what's right when you get this bill.

Gun Shops Being Watched More Closely by the Law
2007-07-13 23:02:00 According to the article, in the past three years, 105 licensed gun dealers have been indicted on criminal charges because of ATF investigations - twice as many as between 2000 and 2002. Of course I wish that ALL gun shops that sell lethal weaponry in this world were a thing of the past, but until they are, I am gratified to know that at least they're being watched more closely than they ever were before.

Flight Attendant Has Mother and Baby Thrown Off Flight
2007-07-13 22:16:00 Ok now let's see...once upon a time we had a lively, adorable toddler with an outgoing personality, a mother who seemed to be quite reasonable while trying to deal with a bizarre situation that was unfolding around her, a bunch of passengers who had no problem with this little family traveling in their midst and a flight attendant who was a liar and seemed to be in need of some anti-anxiety medication. Hopefully once this is thoroughly investigated, the little family will end up living happily ever after with more money from the lawsuit that they so richly deserve to pursue.

Toy Gun Ban Being Proposed by New Jersey Senator
2007-07-13 00:32:00 "It misses the mark because it demonizes toys instead of criminal behavior," said Scott Bach, president of the New Jersey Association of Rifle and Pistol Clubs, which is the National Rifle Association's New Jersey organization. Excuse me, Mr. Bach? Real guns are weapons of death and destruction and they SHOULD be demonized as the tools of harm that they are! I know that I wouldn't want my child to be running around playing with a toy gun in his or her hand and subsequently growing into an adult who feels a pull toward wanting a real gun as a substitute. Children being children (especially little boys) can have a "gun" whenever they choose to by simply using their hands. All they have to do is extend their index and thumbs out in the international gun gesture and voila! they've used their imaginations and need never hold a toy gun. In Yahoo! Answers, motheroftheyear asked, "Do you let your children play with TOY GUNS? the answers there are very interesting as well as enlightening.... More About: Being , Senator , Pose

Gary Indiana Lawmakers Want to Ban Cell Phones While Driving
2007-07-11 07:12:00 I don't blame Councilman Roy Pratt for wanting to ban cell phone use while driving since I believe that driving while holding and speaking on a cell phone is as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol.Studies have shown that over 2500 people were killed in cell phone related driving accidents and to me this is so sad since we have hands-free devices at our disposal. It just seems so selfish not to choose to use these devices, and so I implore you to think about switching to a hands-free device.READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives.

More Than 225 US Mayors Want Congress to Remove Pro-Gun Crime Tiahrt Amendm
2007-07-11 06:24:00 Is the NRA so rabid regarding the Second Amen dment that they would actually aid and abet criminals' access to illegal guns?! Please tell me that this isn't true and this gun lobby in fact DOES want to see illegal firearms never fall into their hands. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, a New York Democrat whose husband was killed by a gunman, said pro-gun groups were "holding us all hostage." She urged citizens to pressure lawmakers before the amendment comes to a committee vote. I e-mailed MY lawmakers, Rep. McCarthy. Hopefully the others who care about this issue will do the exact same thing very, very soon.Would you like a little push? ok, here it is: E-Mail or Fax YOUR Message to the President, Senators, Congress men, Governors, and State Legislatures here.READ ABOUT THIS HERE Practice non-violence in your lives.

Iraq Pullback 'In a While' Says President Bush
2007-07-11 03:01:00 In how long a 'while,' Mr. President ? When the sight of the caskets coming home is too much for you to bear anymore? When your advisors become tired of briefing you yet again regarding the many anti-war organizations who have been demanding you and Dick Cheney's impeachment and finally advise you to pull the troops out? This war is unjust, Mr. President...it is unjust and it is wrong. It has not aided the war on terrorism you see, it has inflamed the terrorists to create lots of training camps.

Ann Coulter's Latest Cut Wounds John Edwards
2007-06-28 03:49:00 I've come to the conclusion that something really traumatic must have occurred in this woman's life for her to be acting in such a cruel manner towards certain people that she disagrees with. Instead of attacking the issues at hand, she attacks the human beings themselves, and her tongue seems to turn into a razor blade that is 7 feet wide and 3 feet long. I am still shocked and seething by her comment regarding several 9/11 widows, when she said, "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much.? EXCUSE ME??!!! did she ever lose a loved one who was killed in such a way? I simply cannot believe she said this without first drinking 4 bottles of booze. Now we have her latest wounds to deal with, when she cut real deep with this: ?If I?m going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.?

Pro-Wrestler Kills Wife, Son and Self
2007-06-26 21:40:00 Oh I feel so badly for this poor family who have been the victims of this obviously troubled individual. It seems to me that a person who chooses to go into such a violent "sport" as wrestling or boxing as their main profession, possesses a certain type of mentality that often manifests itself in some form of domestic abuse. Need some more examples of the correlation I am talking about? Mike Tyson Michael Spinks Steve Austin Riddick Bowe Joe Frazier David Reid Lawrence Pfohl Jim Lampley (even an HBO Boxing announcer!) I won't even go into the other pros who have been arrested who play hockey, baseball, football, etc. right now but without a doubt there is a correlation between these sports and domestic abuse.

Parents Arrested for Leaving Baby in Sun for Nearly an Hour
2007-06-26 19:28:00 Here in America we need licenses for our cars, boats, planes, for hunting, fishing, to play certain video games, and of course to be able to keep animals in our homes that we consider to be family. Most likely I have left out even MORE licenses that we require, but after reading this story, I am beginning to believe that we should be adding a license to be a parent to this list, because our children are suffering and they are suffering horrendously. Yes of course Mr. Juan Carlos and Ms. Danette Rodriguez should have been charged with abusing their child in this case!!! "Got lost in the shuffle?!"

Switzerland Bans Ammunition in Homes
More articles from this author:2007-06-26 06:15:00 At the present time, gun ownership is mandatory for all men under the age of 30 in Switzerland , but fortunately, ammunition in this country has always been very tightly regulated. I am excited to report to you now, my readers, that a new law in Switzerland will actually make it AGAINST THE LAW for its citizens to be keeping ammunition in their private homes, instead requiring them to keep it at a separate armory!!! In addition, ?mandatory gun ownership? is hopefully going to be the next to wave bye-bye, since left-wing campaigners are planning to launch an initiative to achieve this goal. While you are pondering this interesting fact, you may also want to ponder this as well - Switzerland has only 300 gun deaths per year, while we in America have 30,000.
