Without the Second Amendment and individual citizen gun ownership you can take the rest of the Constitution and throw it out the window.

In every state that has concealed weapons laws violent crime has diminished.

Our own government knows it can never take our freedoms away or there would be a civil war. Certainly the Kelo decision is going to cause major problems down the road as some owner somewhere will fight and defend their property rather than see the government give it to another private party.

The illegal immigrants will eventually start being sniped in greater numbers provided the Government doesn't do it's job.

And finally when AQ takes a big bite out of us again it'll be Islam killing time in the USA. Mosques will burn.

And has been posted here a new Harvard study shows that diversity is bad, not good for a community

The Harvard Study Explodes Diversity Myth

The _downside_of diversity_

A Harvard political scientist finds that diversity hurts civic life What happens when a liberal scholar unearths an inconvenient truth

IT HAS BECOME increasingly popular to speak of racial and ethnic diversity as a civic strength. From multicultural festivals to pronouncements from political leaders, the message is the same: our differences make us stronger.

But a massive new study, based on detailed interviews of nearly 30,000 people across America, has concluded just the opposite. Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam -- famous for "Bowling Alone," his 2000 book on declining civic engagement -- has found that the greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in the most homogenous settings. The study, the largest ever on civic engagement in America, found that virtually all measures of civic health are lower in more diverse settings

"The extent of the effect is shocking," says Scott Page, a University of Michigan political scientist.

These are the ACTIVE volcanos on Earth; Fifteen of them. These spew out more crap than the Democratic Socialist Party does .
You never see them mentioned cause we can't do anything about them.

China just passed the USA as the #1 polluter in the world. Shortly we'll be in third spot behind India. Think either one of those waking giants are gonna GO GREEN? Ha.

Folks it's gonna be what it's gonna be during our lifetimes.
Yeah ,yeah lets do it for the children ..not to worry about them. What have the unborn done for us lately except make us worry about their futures .. if they have one, and any number of natural disasters could eliminate human life anyway. One example. Yellowstone Park caldera is something like 30 miles wide by 45 miles long. It's considered a supervolcano and it pops off every couple a hundred thousand years...guess what...it's way overdue. If it goes ALL life on the planet will cease.
Plus we could just kill each other off with WMD's..

Don't worry, be happy..

It's just my good nature and natural ebullience for life overflowing with the pickings of the low hanging friut on the tree of knowledge.

That and my love for my fellow man and attempting to fill his natural inquisitive nature for the wonders that abound.
Here's a partial fill of the cornicopia of disaster.

*Antibiotic resistance. Natural selection would create super bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, devastating the world population and causing a global collapse of civilization.

Catastrophe theory predicts a software-complexity tipping point when the integrated world becomes vulnerable to disastrous bugs in the system.

Demography. Demographic trends create a "baby bust" that threatens the order of civilization as we know it.

Dysgenics. A lack of natural selection and the tendency of the more intelligent to have fewer children would lower the average health and intelligence enough to lead to an eventual collapse of civilization.

Ecology. Natural resources are used up, or the environment is so damaged through pollution and destruction that civilization fails.

Finance. Markets fail worldwide, resulting in economic collapse: mass unemployment, rioting, famine, and death.
Infertility. Human fertility continues to decline, eventually ending with no fertile humans left to continue the species.

Insanity. Mass insanity.

Peak oil. Oil runs out before an economically viable replacement is devised, leading to global chaos.

Telomere**. Some researchers theorize a tiny loss of telomere length from one generation to the next, mirroring the process of aging in individuals. Over thousands of generations the telomere erodes down to its critical level. Once at the critical level we would expect to see outbreaks of age-related diseases occurring earlier in life and finally a population crash.

World government. Misguided world government caps progress, leading to stagnation and reversals of Civilization.

Telomere
A telomere is a region of highly repetitive DNA at the end of a linear chromosome that functions as a disposable buffer. Every time linear eukaryotic chromosomes are replicated during late S phase, the DNA polymerase complex is incapable of replicating all the way to the end of the chromosome; if it were not for telomeres, this would quickly result in the loss of vital genetic information, which is needed to sustain a cell's activities. Every time a cell with linear chromosomes divides, it will lose a small piece of one of its strands of DNA. This process has been referred to by James Watson and Alexei Olovnikov as the "end replication problem" (1971). It is believed that telomeres have a function in the ageing process.

It is believed by scientists that listening to Bob Dylan or excessive blogging radically reduces the telemereic function
