New York Authorities Catch Man Who Was Involved in Hit and Run Accident 2007-08-10 13:49:00 I'll never understand how can somebody have a peaceful night's sleep once they've been behind the wheel of a vehicle that has struck a person or animal. I believe that if all vehicles made today were equipped with THIS car cam system, the families and friends of hit and run vehicle accidents would never need suffer the agony that they suffering today. Before you say, "But what if the person who was injured cannot deploy their car cam in an accident?" I have an answer for you...the person in the next vehicle can.

Non-Lethal Weapon is Flashlight That Causes People to Hurl 2007-08-07 14:53:00 I now repeat to you here what I just said in my comment to this article:Until the Second Amendment is amended to outlaw lethal weaponry and only allow less than lethal weapons, as a person whose passion involves non-violent education of the world around me, I believe that this invention will be a stellar addition to the already awesome collection of less than lethal weaponry already available to our society.READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives.

LIUNA Says, 'We Put a Man on the Moon - 'We Should Be Able to Cross the Mississippi Safely' 2007-08-07 12:04:00 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.

7-Year-Old Girl Chases Armed Robber 2007-08-07 11:40:00 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 14:49:00 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 12:29:00 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-Sales on August 1st 2007-07-28 12:27:00 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 2007-07-27 20:10:00 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. Citizenship 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 16:31:00 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. I hope it is thoroughly investigated and dealt with appropriately. READ ABOUT THIS HERE Practice non-violence in your lives. You will be leaving your children a beautiful legacy. ...

Boston Bikers Ride Against Domestic Violence 2007-07-27 15:42:00 Many people seeing a group of bikers form an instant image regarding them, often viewing them as people who eat rusty nails for dinner and follow them up with a barroom brawl. I say don't judge a book by its cover, dear readers, you have to open it and read it first. These bikers' hearts are as big as the sound coming from their bikes when they rev them up and take off flying down our various city roads - vroom!!! vroom!!!!!

California Democrats Want to Ban Smoking in Private Vehicles Around our Children 2007-07-27 15:10:00 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. You are a father of four children yourself. I doubt that you would want to watch them as they struggle for a breath.READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives.

Gun Shops Being Watched More Closely by the Law 2007-07-13 16:02:00 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.
