In response to tvoter's comment:
In response to MattyScornD's comment:
Yes, they are. But a gun is not a candy bar; it's likely not a purchase that's made on a whim.
But if the decision IS made based on what they read in the news, that's a bit irrational.
Now, maybe they just like guns and want one. Ok, fine. But anything else at that point is just an excuse...a deviation from "I like guns."
Maybe someone got personally attacked. That's a more rational reason...not a random bombing. Personal trauma can manifest all kinds of tendencies, and people don't tend to deal with stress very well.
It's not being judgmental; it's about proscribing one's behavior based on external stimulus and the behavior of others.
Point being is that the OP is correlation without causation - a fallacy that some gun purchasers seem to have been suckered into.
No the POINT is when politicians start talking about taking away rights people react to protect those rights in many different ways.
In this case; people think the government may make good on it's threa tadd more restrictions to our right to bear arms. So, they purchase more guns to protec their right to own them.
Nothing irrational about that!
I would argue that it's irrational for the govt to threaten to take away the rights of law abiding citizens.
No one is threatening to take away anyone's rights.
That's just crazy paranoia from conspiracists.
When the Patriot Act was being implemented all we heard from politicians was that it was necessary to expand the Federal gov't powers in warrantless searches and indefinite detention and a no-fly list in order to protect us from terrorists.
Now, the crazy gun fanatics think that those same people that the gov't is working to protect us from, those on no fly lists, have the right to own weapons to defend themselves from said gov't.
It absolutely absurd!!!

We interrupt our usual diet of Boston Bruins reports to pass along some breaking local/NHL news:
Charlie Coyle of Weymouth, a product of Weymouth High School, Thayer Academy, the Eastern Junior Hockey League's South Shore Kings, Boston University, Team USA (2011 World Junior Championships), Saint John of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and most recently, the Hoursont Aeros of the American Hockey League, is about to add another team to his resume: Minnesota Wild.
Coyle, a 20-year-old rookie pro, was recalled on Sunday by the Wild, who put defenseman Jared Spungeon on Injured Reserve because of a lower body injury. Coyle could play his first NHL game on Monday night, on the road against the Phoenix Coyotes.
A first-round draft choice of the San Jose Sharks (28th overall) in 2010, Coyle's rights were obtained in a trade by the Wild a year later. He has spent his entire first season at the AHL level, scoring 14 goals (5 power play) and 24 points in 44 games with Houston.
- Speaking of hockey, Weymouth, and also the Bruins:
Gina Ficociello, who captained Weymouth High's first girls varsity hockey team and is now a student at the University of New Hampshire, has started an internship at The Patriot Ledger. She's posting her thoughts on the Bruins in a video blog, the first installment of which you can see here:
- The Bruins, 6-1-1 after Saturday night's 1-0 win at Toronto, return to practice Monday morning to begin preparing for Wednesday night's first visit of the season to Montreal. Look for updates on Twitter by following MLoftus_Ledger.
Mike Loftus has covered the Bruins for longer than he can remember. He uses his blog to keep tabs on them, but he also likes to get outside the Garden to cover other hockey stories. "One of the coolest things about covering hockey in this area is the number of players who take the game past the high school/prep level," he says, "many in the hopes of one day reaching the pro level."

-- if you -- glimpse into what the future holds for America if president Barack Obama is handed a second term.
Now take a long hard look at the chaos that is unfolding on the ground in Europe.
Violent riots are raging in the streets of Spain and Greece as angry mobs.
Protest against the government and austerity measures there and -- this more than 70000 people descended on the Greek parliament.
Molotov cocktails targeted police officers and similar scenes of disturbing violence occurred in Madrid as well but.
Make no mistake if this president is in fact afforded another four years in office.
And if he has the ability to run up our national debt another six trillion dollars.
Look right there -- this is what main street in America may very well look like.
Now the current path we find ourselves on is beyond unsustainable.
It is the direct result of nearly four years of reckless spending.
-- forget about bush this is the Obama economy.
Eight point 1% unemployment six trillion dollars in new Obama -- one in six Americans currently live in poverty in this country.
46 million Americans are in need of food stamps.
Fewer Americans feel or are working today than when the president took office in January of 09.
Gas prices has soared by over 100% during his tenure and today we learned that the average household income dropped by more than 8%.
In the less than four years president Obama's been in office and what's the president doing about all that well he's of course campaigning.
Are out there in all over the country earlier today stop by Kent state university and Ohio.
And that's a place that he visited back in 2008.
Now let's take a walk down memory lane and see what he set.
When Bill Clinton was president of the average family income went up seven 500 dollars.
-- 500 dollars since George Bush of the browser and ordered them.
It's gone down 2000 dollars.
Think about that that's about 9500.
Dollars slowing.
Not a 500 dollars.
That's money out of your pocket.
That's money going out of this country become -- barring it from China to send -- -- -- about a by our.
That's what's -- added.
Four trillion dollars short deficit.
Don't think about that.
Felt so we're we've created a mountain of debt for the next generation.
The third that's bill.
Now remember under Obama's watch household income has plummeted more than 8% and he's added more debt than almost all of its predecessors combined.
But the president doesn't want to talk about his record.
Because it's a record of failure.
He's been disengaged from the moment that he took office.
Not only is he not willing to meet with world leaders like prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
He's not willing to reach across the aisle to address very serious matters that we'll have a dramatic impact on our country our kids our grandkids.
How massive cuts in our nation's defense are looming.
The largest tax hike in American history is imminent.
And I'm sorry to report Mr.
President the solutions to those problems will not be reached by sitting on the couch -- the view.
Nor are they gonna be founded JC's nightclub normally be found in George Clooney's house.
And here to help remind us how we got to this point both here at home and abroad is the author of a brand new New York Times best seller the price Apollo.
Takes Bob Woodward is back -- you sir thank you good to see if you actually said about Obama and the debt crisis it is a moment of maximum.
He described a president that was not engaged in terms of relationships to fix the problem that he's failed.
Well he knew he worked out of but he didn't carry it over the finish line and you have to look at these things.
Not that for effort but for results and -- and one thing I got to -- you make the case against him very.
Strong there one thing I would agree with fuel line is that it's beyond unsustainable.
We have got to -- -- vivid people are talking about the fiscal cliff coming.
New picks increases spending cuts and so forth but the real problem is gonna -- in February.
Out of necessity whoever's president is going to have to go to the congress and say we need another trillion dollars may be two trillion dollars.
In borrowing authority.
To pay our debts we we have gone.
-- and -- in this is your conservative message.
Which -- people should do whether they agree with you or not this is real.
This is real and we we are on a spending.
-- and in my is something's gotta be done about it now.
Budgeted to Obama's credit is that when I talked through a couple of months ago and I went through all of this I think he.
In a way exquisite Lee is tuned in to the ambivalence is so -- of this is we've talked about he's a progressive Democrat but there he's a Smart guy.
In he knows you've got to fix this you've got to do something now what's -- and in this campaign.
The number one issue that's the number one threat to this country is not being discussed is -- in the heat it is.
I see these -- to -- overstating the fact that all the that we see unfolding in Europe can happen here I am -- overstating that let let's hope not and I don't and -- -- column wrong I think will be wise enough to prevent bad but you've been -- you've got to get to a point where this cracks.
At this point he had in and minutes and it's more than that tipping point it.
In the -- it's not me it's economists from the left.
From the right from the Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner throughout this book.
In private meetings in literally thousands of -- -- is telling the president.
You've got to fix this we've got to do something we we will trigger.
Now think about this a depression worse than the 1930s.
My parents.
Lived through that my father grew up -- during the depression spoke about it often wasn't pleasant.
Well let me ask you in the book you talk about a president.
And you compared him to both Bill Clinton a Democrat and Ronald Reagan Republican.
And -- you know was always Ronald Reagan tip is that after six Tip O'Neill they -- get along they can they can make progress.
Bill Clinton is on the phone we laughed about the last time on the program 2 o'clock.
Hey it's -- belly up you know he call anybody would be working out a deal.
This president doesn't have that relation deals relationships.
Now we see the situation on what's going on and -- -- to dead.
Navy SEALs and ambassador we have an -- ambassador killed in thirty years another person is dead.
All of these.
Embassies consulates have the you know Ben rated flags -- -- -- burned.
The question is we're finding -- -- this president wasn't engaged with any Arab leaders either.
Well the New York Times -- the story just a couple of days -- always saying it exactly that.
And this is the difficulty -- home.
For some -- -- The president's own party.
-- read the Democrat.
The leader of the senate the second most powerful.
Democrat in Washington.
Goes down to the White House in didn't wake the president and up he has to use his chief of staff to -- him.
I'm disappointed in view the president in the Oval Office that we didn't have a fallback plan for all landing and then against.
In 2011.
And then there's that.
You know one of those six split you know one of those moments where -- you wonder could this really happen.
The read is leaving with his chief of staff in the car and he says you know I'm glad you did a good job someone -- detail in there.
No one was telling him that nobody -- -- so.
The democratic leader needs.
An eight.
To go into the home office it's 6 o'clock and this Sunday night to have kind of wake everyone up there including the president of the united.
It's frightening.
You know and I really loved your book and -- -- -- went back and I start -- re reading it knowing you're going to be on the program here today.
I look at this president and I think of Woodward.
And you did your partner -- a little more left wing and Bernstein in and Watergate and all you've been through in your career.
We have a situation where I believe the president of the United States has purposely lie.
And let me tell you what I mean when he keeps referring to this attack on our embassy.
And all of the evidence including the Libyan president.
There -- two -- of attack mortars were used I don't think the spontaneous attack which we were first told somebody's holding in their back pocket -- happen have a rocket propelled grenade with me.
It's on the anniversary of 9/11.
The president keeps going back to using this movie trailer that nobody saw -- released in July as an excuse.
That seems to me the type -- story that the media.
Would -- pot.
And say.
Give us the facts here why didn't we have beefed up security on 9/11 at our consulate at our embassies.
No we didn't win and we dropped the ball here they don't ask him.
Well I died I have not done original reporting on that so I don't know but -- and the issue which I think is the one that is gonna come in bite.
This country in a way work.
We'll be back talking about this and 456.
Months who will say see we.
We laid it out in a very very direct way in one of the things the president -- said is that we've cut a trillion dollars.
That's so it's all postponed.
To Tony thirteen governor Romney has said we're gonna do things with the tax code we're gonna cut different -- fixes -- we're gonna get more money.
It's not clear how -- and -- and I I hope in the coming debates.
The people who were the moderator.
Who are very Smart and policy -- feet.
Won't let them just give any answer.
And get on that hopefully you have to follow up and say -- they'll wait a minute.
That doesn't square how were you going to do this want what is the expectation the public can have in.
The and in in this is the most interest if you think about who it is -- -- become president they are going to have to do.
Some re fully unpopular -- very much so to fix this and it's Bennett it's good I'm in -- they need look through.
The book and it was John Boehner the speaker who came to the president and said we need to do -- wrote for him.
Entitlement reform.
Those are hard they take a long time -- need -- they'd be.
It's just -- -- -- does not look I I accept means testing I don't like it but I except that I accept that they're gonna raise the eligibility age these are all basic things.
And Mitt Romney to his credit so that on sixty minutes this weekend.
Here's here's this question for you that I have -- and as a relates to media.
Can you imagine -- forty days out of a presidential election and I argue that we didn't vet Obama in 2007 an eight.
And I was widely quoted on my radio show saying the president's laughing his ass off.
At the media in this country because if he says there's a -- in the -- -- gonna go regurgitate it that's how I think the media's fault not on their job.
We not -- the president you promised to cut the deficit in half in your first term you didn't do what he's never been past six trillion in debt.
You promised at this point if we -- stimulus you predicted eight million more jobs.
We have fewer Americans working.
These -- fundamental.
Questioning I am Indian we know those numbers -- I mean the real question he has now is.
What is the plan to get this how did this what are you going to do the -- are you will asked why he didn't do it the first time well I mean we we know the numbers sure look idea I think.
In our business you can't be too aggressive.
You -- when I interviewed the president for an hour and a half a couple of months ago.
This was not a kinda how do you feel about this -- -- said this you did then I don't condone what happened last month -- well Clinton.
I know you don't -- him but he is credited.

You know I gotta tell -- -- -- -- revising any president told to stay as far away from you as possible.
I'm kidding that's it no no but I'll grant you ask some questions I like it via their transparency works -- -- good it did you know this is democracy.

Marc E. Agronin, a practicing psychiatrist who treats older residents at Miami Jewish Health Systems, the site of one of the largest nursing homes in the United States, has written a wise and enlightening book on how we age. The author is unfailingly curious, reflective, and ever respectful of his patients. In a personal, easy-to-read style, he offers insights on aging from his clinical experiences, as well as from the writings of past and contemporary psychologists, philosophers, spiritual leaders, writers, and poets.
Included are portraits of Dr. Agronin's mentors, chief among them his grandfather, a practicing physician in rural Wisconsin. His grandfather's intensity of caring, ongoing involvement in the lives of his patients, and resolute pursuit of their betterment made a huge impact on his patients and their families. This dedication to wise care clearly guides his grandson.
Dr. Agronin's patients also inspire him as he attempts to understand their past experiences and current concerns. While listening to a 100-year-old woman speak about her life, for example, Dr. Agronin became aware that "someone living with the daily infirmities of aging and approaching death could still enjoy most of the same human experiences we find so precious in younger years."
The book's emphasis is not on avoiding or reversing the inevitability of aging by finding a modern-day fountain of youth, but on dealing with the reality of aging in a more balanced way. It does not promote the hope of avoiding age-associated changes in body and mind through the use of hormones, plastic surgery, medications, or even diet and exercise. Instead, it acknowledges that changes will occur with aging, though at varying times and to different extents among individuals. Physical frailty, dementia, and multiple social losses often accompany aging. However, Dr. Agronin observes his 70- to 100-year-old patients' positive experiences: the preservation of vitality, spirit, and hope, and even a new creativity, a sense of meaning, and enhanced wisdom. The book contains many evocative and touching descriptions of Dr. Agronin's patients, which often illustrate the resilience and emotional resources older people exhibit as they continue to derive pleasure from their lives.
Dr. Agronin also recounts his personal interactions with well-known people who have contributed to his understanding of aging's positive aspects. As an undergraduate at Harvard, he attended a seminar with Erik and Joan Erikson. The Eriksons described how older people can cultivate meaning, a sense of rightness, harmony, and purpose with "a broader sense of integrity in day-to-day existence" as a feature of development in aging. The description of his interaction with Erik Erikson includes a humorous and poignant moment. Throughout the multiple sessions of the seminar, Erikson exhibited a quiet, apathetic demeanor and spoke very little. During one session, Dr. Agronin attempted to engage Erikson in discussion about his attempt to replicate one of Erikson's studies. Erikson waved him off, saying, "I am trying to eat a cookie." In retrospect, Dr. Agronin recognizes this as a product of Erikson's early-stage dementia. Erikson's participation in the seminar, despite his cognitive decline, likely contributed to an ongoing sense of purpose in his life. Patients with dementia retain many aspects of their personalities until quite advanced stages of the illness and continue to derive satisfaction from social interactions despite a progressive decline in cognitive capacity.
Dr. Agronin also knew Gene Cohen, M.D., one of the founders of geriatric psychiatry. Dr. Cohen's interest in aging began in biology. As a high school student, he discovered how to determine the age of a fish called the longhorn sculpin by closely examining a small bone in its inner ear. Later, while working at the National Institute of Mental Health, Dr. Cohen created a national program to support research and research training in geriatric psychiatry. The support and guidance this program provided was central to the development of the field. His scientific focus shifted to non-biological aspects of how people age and how to age well.
Dr. Cohen recommended that each of us create a "social portfolio" in which we inventory assets including personal interests, skills, resources, and relationships to build up a kind of "insurance" against expectable future losses. We can adjust our activity patterns with age, as in relinquishing skiing for hiking or nature walks. Dr. Cohen also wrote about satisfaction in developing new skills. He was excited by his observation that older individuals often take advantage of newfound personal freedom and creativity to develop new interests. He emphasized that ongoing participation in activities that contribute to society are valuable, as they continue to be a source of affirmation and meaning. Dr. Cohen exemplified this approach. After retiring from an eminent career at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), he continued his research in aging as head of the Center for Aging and Humanities at George Washington University until his death.
Dr. Agronin also writes about the inspiring example of a onetime candidate for the U.S. presidency, Sen. George S. McGovern, who, despite a stunning electoral defeat and later the loss of his wife, has continued an active life driven by meaning and purpose. Dr. Agronin's portrait of an 85-year-old man, pulling his own suitcase through airports to speak to groups of young people around the country about the value of public service, is a memorable depiction of successful aging. The senator's vitality and strong sense of purpose clearly sustain him. Transmitting long-held values to the next generation continued to give his life enduring meaning. Sen. McGovern told Dr. Agronin that with age, he had gained wisdom characterized by more-integrative assessments of situations, including the ability to see both sides of complex issues. He said that with this new wisdom, he believed he could be a better president than he would have been at a younger age, had he been elected.
This story reminded me of another U.S. senator who was hospitalized at the NIH Clinical Center during his dying days. The senator had a visit in his hospital room from a college student from his state who was serving as a volunteer on a psychiatric research unit elsewhere in the hospital. The aged senator, despite being in pain, strongly commended the young student, congratulating him on this form of public service—a value that had clearly animated the senator's life. While at the NIH, I also observed many older patients participating in research on dementia. This research included the need for collection of cerebrospinal fluid with lumbar punctures (spinal taps), which sometimes resulted in transient, yet somewhat painful, headaches. During periods of considerable personal stress, older people willingly accepted the discomforts of research participation, commonly explaining their participation as a contribution to the well-being of future generations. Their participation clearly lent meaning to their lives through a connection to deeply felt social values.
This book will help general readers understand some of the major issues in geriatric psychiatry. Of particular value are the discussions of depression, delirium, dementia, and the use of psychotropic medications in older patients. Here the injunction to "start low, go slow, but go" is an important maxim. When treating older patients, we must be especially careful with psychotropic medication, using smaller doses and increasing them slowly. Because benefits can be considerable, such treatment is often worth attempting. Physicians use a risk/benefit assessment in deciding whether to start medication. When medication fails to improve the situation, they may consider other, less common treatments. Dr. Agronin describes an elderly, manic woman who, though unresponsive to medication, had a dramatic, life-changing benefit from electroconvulsive therapy.
Above all, I believe that the balanced view of aging Dr. Agronin presents in this book stems from his concern for understanding the lives of his patients through listening to what they have to say and his ongoing devotion to bettering their lives. A quote from Professor George Vaillant of Harvard Medical School is a useful guide: "Old age is like a mine field; if you see footprints leading to the other side, step in them." Among these footprints are the need for ongoing caring relationships, the attribution of meaning to our lives, and an enduring capacity for joy in everyday life.
Dr. Agronin has written a wonderful book for all audiences.

The Steamship Authority will take a look at establishing a policy for unaccompanied children traveling on their ferries.
At the monthly meeting of the Steamship Authority governors Tuesday in Woods Hole, the board discussed creating a policy that would set a minimum age for travel by unaccompanied minors.
Currently, the authority requires children five years of age or under to be accompanied by an adult. A summary of the board's meeting noted that other ferry operators or transportation providers have policies requiring adult accompaniment for children under the age of 12 or 13, and that the Steamship Authority feels they should establish a similar age limit.
The board will consider adopting a policy at their next meeting, after asking for feedback from customers who would be impacted by the proposal.
The board also approved an inter-island automobile excursion rate so residents of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard can visit the other island without having to pay a regular round-trip ticket.
The excursion rate, applicable for an automobile and up to two adults and two children, will be equal to the combination of the two islands' vehicle excursion rates. Travel must be completed within 31 days from departure.
For cars under 17 feet in length, this year's rates would range from $221 to $312.
In other news, the new Steamship Authority website is expected to launch in the next three weeks.

Conway Sax, a has-been race driver cum auto-mechanic, curses as he wrestles a rotted 30-pound muffler from a Nissan Maxima. Just then a woman, a beautiful woman with whom he has a tumultuous past, saunters into his auto-repair shop causing him to drop the muffler on his foot. He curses some more, she takes his face in her hands, his girlfriend walks in–things unravel from there. So begins a meeting that sets in motion a snarly web of campaign secrets, illegitimate babies, blackmail and murder that make up Steve Ulfelder's second of three novels, "The Whole Lie," a tale the Richmond Times-Dispatch calls "a work of hardcore crime-fiction art."
