Rabbitt's Interesting Times News & NotesThe War on Peace ContinuesOf all the despised symbols humanity has created, once again the most reviled of the lot seems to be the ubiquitous "PEACE" sign. It truly makes me despair for the fate of our violent species!FROM:Orlando News UPDATE: D.B. CooperIn their ever persistant pursuit of the skyjacking bandit D.B. Cooper, lost these thirty six years into the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, F.B.I. spokespersons report a possible lead in an old rotting and buried parachute.FROM:Associated Press The Librarian and the Lewd!"A Tulare County library worker says she was fired for telling police about a man she saw viewing child pornography on a Lindsay branch computer."Here's one back at Big Brother, no matter what the cause he thinks allows him to look over your shoulder! FROM:FresnoBee Something To Be Proud OfI've traveled across the endless tabletop plains of Kansas before so it is no surprise they now have a museum featuring what they have the most of!I like the interactive display here. No, wait, that's a picture window! Duck! FROM:Associated Press Letter to the EditorA LITTLE GUN HISTORYIn 1929, the Soviet Union established gun controlFrom 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves *were rounded up and exterminated* ------------------------------ In 1911, Turkey established gun control From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves *were rounded up and exterminated* ------------------------------ Germany established gun control in 1938 From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves *were rounded up and exterminated* ------------------------------ China established gun control in 1935 From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves *were rounded up and exterminated* -------------- ---------------- Guatemala established gun control in 1964 From1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves *were rounded up and exterminated* ------------------------------ Uganda established gun control in 1970 From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves *were rounded up and exterminated* ------------------------------ Cambodia established gun control in 1956 From 1975 to 1977, one million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves *were rounded up and exterminated* ----------------------------- Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: *56 million* ------------------------------ It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new laws to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)! In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the *law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!* While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months since criminals now are guaranteed that *their prey is unarmed.* There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it. You won't see this data on the **US** evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson. *_With guns, we are 'citizens' _* *_Without them _* *_We are 'subjects' _* During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! ---------------------------------- If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.

Inquiring minds should be saying"What the H---!"

So why are the prudes all upset? Its not likely their creator made them just to look "at" so why not use them to look "for"?FROM:Reuters Is This Supposed To Be A Surprise?As draconian as this country's government has gotten, should it be any surprise that Big Brother tactics are routine and that most of the citizens don't seem to really even care?FROM:Associated Press Overboard EnforcementJust one more example of over zealous tin badge tyrants making sure that no matter what you do, you are going to be harrassed and arrested. Next you know, you won't even be able to go to the restroom without them.FROM:Chicago Sun-Times |
