Bob Barr Calls Heller Decision on Gun Rights “One of Court’s Most Impor
2008-06-26 19:24:00 Bob Barr Calls Heller Decision on Gun Rights “One of Court’s Most Important Rulings on behalf of Liberty ”Washington , DC - Today the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the individual right of Americans to own guns in District of Columbia v. Heller. The ruling “will go down as one of the Supreme Court’s most important rulings on behalf of liberty,” says Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr. Until today, the Court had never held that the Second Amendment directly applied to individuals. “Today’s decision marks a new era for gun rights in America ,” explains Barr, who is a member of the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association. Barr also drafted the Libertarian Party’s amicus curiae brief in Heller. “By protecting an individual’s right to keep and bear arms, the Second Amendment ensures that all Americans are able to participate in sporting activities, hunt, and protect themselves and their families,” he explains.The rig...

Historic 2nd Amendment Decision
2008-06-26 12:59:00 Photo by Horizontal.Integration People are allowed to have handguns in their homes, if they aren’t disqualified from exercising their Second Amendment rights, holds the U.S. Supreme Court majority in District of Columbia v. Heller (PDF), 554 U.S. ___ (2008). In sum, we hold that the District’s ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense. Assuming that Heller is not disqualified from the exercise of Second Amendment rights, the District must permit him to register his handgun and must issue him a license to carry it in the home. The Court split between conservatives and liberals. Justice Scalia delivered the Court’s opinion with Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito joining. Justice Stevens filed a dissenting opinion and Justices Souter, Ginsurg, and Breyer joined. Justice Breyer also filed a...
John McCain Upset With Barack Obama’s Decision To Save Taxpayers Tens

Or, those funds, involuntarily hijacked from the paychecks of American workers to ram Barack Obama and John McCain’s mugs, words and pontifications down our throats for the next few months.

Decision to Run for Nanaimo City Council
2008-06-12 11:29:00 (this is a copy of a letter to the editor I recently sent to my local papers)It was inspiring to learn that NALT (Nanaimo and Area Land Trust) has made a call for council candidates to address sustainability and environmental issues. After speaking with a number of community members, and with their encouragement and support, I have decided to run for city council. A green development option would be to invest in creating a complete picture for Nanaimo communities, reducing the need for us to go across the city for work or shopping. Devoting lanes to busses and cyclists instead of expanding roads is an effective way to reduce congestion and encourage greener forms of transportation. It?s also less expensive and more sustainable than adding evermore lanes to our roads. I understand that our transit system is considering doubling service within the next decade, but I don?t think we should have to wait that long. The cost savings are considerable for individuals using transit instead o...

Decision 2008: let?s yank the hood off racist America
2008-06-02 17:37:00 First, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nid7PRNQ5F0 Barack Obama has said we need a national conversation on race. One of the reasons I’m so eager about a potential Obama presidency is that I think it’s time we stood up, went nose to nose with racism, and made clear that while we’re open to a good-faith conversation on race, we’re done tolerating racism. Make no mistake, in the coming months you’re going to see the ugliest artillery that our nation’s drooling, inbred hatemongers have at their disposal. The looming prospect of a nigra in the White House is going to bring the vermin out of the woodwork, out from under their rocks and out into the light. It’s going to incite the well-heeled country club elite to crank up the meme machine with every sort of subtle, codemongering dogwhistle it can manufacture. The truly ignorant and hateful are going to be liquored up on rhetorical bile of the lowest sort and those who live further up...

How ICJ arrived at its decision
2008-05-24 00:47:00 How ICJ arrived at its decision While the court recognised that Johor had the original title to Pedra Branca, it ruled that by 1980, when the dispute over the island crystallised, sovereignty over Pedra Branca had passed to Singapore. Reasoning of the court MALAYSIA contended that it had original title to the island, dating back to the time of its predecessor, the Sultanate of Johor, and that it continued to hold this title. Singapore contended that the island was no man’s land in the 1840s when the United Kingdom, its predecessor for legal purposes, took lawful possession of the island to build a lighthouse. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) observed that it was not in dispute that the Sultanate of Johor had, from the time it came into existence in 1512, established itself as a sovereign state with a territorial domain in part of South-east Asia. It noted that from at least the 17th century until early in the 19th century, it was acknowledged by historians that th...

The California Supreme Court Decision: Civil Equality Trumps Religious Bigo
2008-05-23 09:51:00 by Mel Seesholtz, Ph.D. The ruling had been anticipated for months. Gay Americans hoped theyd be recognized as equals and gain the right to the civil institution called marriage. The Christianist Right held their breath knowing that when put to the ultimate test, discrimination always loses. The California Supreme Court decision was announced at 10 AM (PDT) on 15 May 2008. Both sides won, sort of. In a May 17, 2006 editorial The New York Times summarized: The California Supreme Court brought the United States a step closer to fulfilling its ideals of equality and justice with its momentous 4-to-3 ruling upholding the right of same-sex couples to marry. Opponents of giving gay couples the respect, benefits, obligations and protections that come with marriage are already mobilizing to try to nullify the historic decision through a proposed state constitutional amendment likely to appear on the November ballot. Still, the California verdict was a major vict...

Can’t say much for their being elected. Anyone having any doubts about my assessment of Chuck Hagel should doubt no more. A tragic situation, certainly. But worth this response? No. Government shouldn’t have been involved here. This is government leaping into a situation so as to ‘do something’ at a level where unintended consequences ensue. Same here.

Conference Call Decision - Web Conference Calling Vs Offline Conference Cal
2008-05-21 05:55:00 Conference calls have totally revolutionized the concept of communication. Web conference has taken the concept to the next level and challenges the worthiness of existing offline conference calls. Web conference call is in its infancy and many people are not aware of its multifarious application. Initially, web conference call was used as an audio conference call and was limited to presentation calls. Live video conferencing became possible with the arrival of broadband. The right amalgamation of several features of Internet, computers and software has transformed web conference call to the level of face-to-face meeting. The greatest advantage that web conference calling has over offline conference calls is that it gives real time interaction with several people. When implemented properly it is just like having a discussion in your conference hall. Unlike most offline conference calls, in web conference call the people engaged in conversation can share and exchange ideas by illustr...
