Parents Arrested for Leaving Baby in Sun for Nearly an Hour 2007-06-26 12:28:00 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?!" Oh puleeeze...I wasn't born yesterday, you know you guys. READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives. You will be leaving your children a beautiful legacy. ...

Switzerland Bans Ammunition in Homes 2007-06-25 23:15:00 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.

Prisoner Grabs Guard's Gun and Kills Him With It 2007-06-25 20:23:00 If the guard had a less than lethal weapon on his person instead of a lethal one, chances are almost 100% that he would still be alive.

First Time DUI Offenders in Arizona Must Use a DUI Ignition Device in Their Vehicles 2007-06-23 18:22:00 From the MADD website: According to preliminary data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2006, 17,941 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes - an average of one every half-hour. These deaths constituted approximately 41 percent of the 43,300 total traffic fatalities. Drunk (those at or above an illegal BAC of .08) drivers were involved in 13,990 fatalities in 2006. AppallingAvoidableDisturbingUnnecessaryIn my opinion, if every vehicle we drive would be equipped with this device, I think not only would the incidents of people driving drunk plummet down as the years go by, but so would the incidents of people being killed by drunk drivers. What is an ignition interlock device? it is a built-in blood-alcohol breath test that requires the driver to exhale below 0.025 percent before the vehicle will start at all. Think I am being too tough on us my readers? well perhaps you will think differently once you have read this heartwrenching poem about DUI.R ...

Leading Democratic Candidates for US President Side-Stepping Comments on the Film 'SICKO' 2007-06-22 13:47:00 Why are the leading candidates so uncomfortable with this film anyway? Unless of course they actually KNOW that there is something to be uncomfortable about... My favorite candidate, Dennis Kucinich isn't intimidated at all. In fact, here he is with Michael Moore in this very interesting endorsement video. I can't wait to see the movie, "SICKO" for myself. From everything I'm seeing and hearing about it, it should be very intriguing indeed. READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives.

Couple Could Face Fine or Jail Due to Children Playing Too Loudly 2007-06-21 15:50:00 How do you quiet down children who are just being children and are having a fabulous time playing in their pool in the summer? Do you stand over them with a whip and a chair every time the noise level gets too high for the next door neighbors? Mrs. Poczatek has already stated that she is doing her best to admonish her children to keep the noise level down. Other than shhhhing them to be quiet, the only other thing I can think of is for her to threaten them with the removal of their Happy Meals for dinner that they would be having that night. For the Kostakis' I have these suggestions for you: Invest in the most expensive earplugs available on the market and/or move to another location where you can be certain that no loud noises would be disturbing your peace and quiet. In MY opinion, this case never should have made it into the court room in the FIRST place. There are too many serious cases that are on the docket already.

NY Mayor Bloomberg May Face Issues if He Decides to Run for President 2007-06-21 13:59:00 Is the United States really comprised of such a bigoted, insulting nation of people that any of these three issues would sink a presidential campaign?!

California Crushing Cars Being Used in Street Racing 2007-06-20 14:49:00 Once again solid proof that my caring state of California (yay, California!) is really attempting to save as many lives as it possibly can. I am behind this idea of crushing cars caught in street racing, as I believe it will serve to deter further people being killed. Why? well...how many teens do YOU know would like to see their cars being crushed? How many teens do YOU know could afford to buy another car? How many teens do YOU know would have their cars be replaced by their parents once they've learned that their children have been involved in such a deadly game? Hope this law makes its way to every state in the country. Lots of kids would be angry, but they would be alive to scream and curse. READ ABOUT THIS HERE Practice non-violence in your lives.

Tennessee Deputy Uses Pepper Spray to Subdue Woman Who Shot at Her 2007-06-20 13:54:00 Who came to the rescue in this scenerio, my dear readers? It was the less than lethal weapon, the pepper spray, we plainly see!!! We also plainly see just how easy it is for a gun to be taken away from a person carrying it, thus giving the perpetrator the upper hand to inflict the harm they wish to cause. So which would be a better choice for personal safety in society, the lethal weapon or the pepper spray? I vote for the pepper spray. READ ABOUT THIS HERE Practice non-violence in your lives.

400 People Stuck on Airplane for 7 Hours in the San Francisco International Airport 2007-06-20 13:32:00 Can anybody please try and help me understand why in the wide, wide world would it be necessary for nearly 400 people to be forced to remain in an airplane for 7 hours straight without being able to get off and walk around the terminal? There are conflicting accounts of how the people were treated, but the main focus is, why were they being held captive on that plane in the FIRST place?! If it were me, you can be sure that I would be bringing suit against this airline for not only stress-related issues but being held hostage against my will!!!

Angry Mob Murders Passenger in Car that Struck a Child 2007-06-20 12:39:00 I understand how tempers can flare when witnessing a car accident involving a child, but my goodness there was NO EXCUSE AT ALL for this crowd of angry people to morph into savages the way that they did against this poor passenger!!!! Everyone who participated in the murder of this man should go to prison for life for this is exactly what they deserve!!!!! READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives.

Gay Marriage Ban Blocked by Massachusetts Voters 2007-06-14 15:35:00 Massachusetts state Governor, Deval Patrick is the kind of person more states in the U.S.A. should have sitting behind the Governor's desk! On the opposite side of the seesaw, we have Presidential hopeful former Gov. of this same state, Mitt Romney, who has called the vote "a regrettable setback" and said it makes it more important now to pass a national amendment banning gay marriage. I would love to know what Mitt Romney is so afraid of, that would cause him to even make such a bigoted statement like the one he has made? Me, I believe the definition of marriage should be amended nationally so that it would allow both heterosexual AND homosexual adults to be able to legalize their precious love if they so chose to.
