Something about gun control that makes sense.
What do you think?
EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW
ABOUT GUN CONTROL IN 99 WORDS!
© 2007 January 07 by G. Edward Griffin
Gun-control laws do not control crime because crimes are not committed by guns; they are committed by criminals. Criminals will always have guns because they do not obey laws, including anti-gun laws. Those without guns are easy prey for criminals with guns. Gun control encourages crime.
The right to bear arms was included in the Bill of Rights, not to deter crime, but to deter oppressive government. Just governments honor and protect the right to bear arms. Oppressive governments fear and prohibit the right to bear arms.
Guns are dangerous. The only thing more dangerous is not having them.

I just received a spam email from someone I know. She doesn’t communicate at all (although she should); she just sends unwanted, advertising email, which are even lacking in taste at times. Since this is a good way to lose friends fast, I am posting these two simple rules to help you keep them.
1) Do you regularly communicate with the person? If not, your offer is spam, don’t send it.
2) Make sure that your friend (or acquaintance) will accept or is expecting the email.
And remember that spamming doesn’t say much for you.

The video in the link below is sponsored by Toyota. Learn the proper procedure for bringing your vehicle to a safe stop.
It is basically a simple procedure (common sense). Apply steady pressure on the brakes and put the motor in neutral (you can turn it off, if you must, but the power assisting your systems will be lost). Please visit the link below.
PS According to what I heard last, you may have to use the emergency brakes in addition to applying pressure with both feet on the brake pedal. (These instructions were given by a police officer through his megaphone while driving alongside a runaway vehicle. It worked!) Good luck!

According to Wikipedia: The Perseids (pronounced /ˈpɜrsiː.ɨdz/) is the name of a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so-called because the point they appear to come from, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus. The stream of debris is called the Perseid cloud and stretches along the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle. The cloud consists of particles ejected by the comet as it travels on its 130-year orbit. Most of the dust in the cloud today is around a thousand years old. However, there is also a relatively young filament of dust in the stream that was pulled off the comet in 1862. The rate of meteors originating from this filament is much higher than for the older part of the stream.
The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for about 2000 years, with the earliest information on this meteor shower coming from the Far East.
