William Bratton, former Los Angeles police chief and police commissioner of New York, discussed his new book, "Collaborate or Perish! Reaching across Boundaries in a Networked World" (New York: Crown Business, 2012), at the 13th annual Police Union Leadership Seminar hosted by the Labor & Worklife Program at Harvard Law School.
Students from Harvard Law School took second place in the 22nd Annual National Criminal Justice Trial Advocacy Competition, held March 29-31, in Chicago.
Steven Goldberg '72 is part of the legal team challenging the National Security Agency's warrantless wireless wiretap of an Islamic charity in southern Oregon. He visited Harvard Law School on March 31 to discuss the case in the context of how law students and lawyers working apart from large organizations can get involved in similar cases.
Pop sensation Lady Gaga launched her anti-bullying, youth-empowering Born This Way Foundation (BTWF) at Sanders Theatre on Wednesday during an Askwith Forum sponsored by the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE). The foundation was established in partnership with HGSE, Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the California Endowment. Special guests included Oprah Winfrey, author and speaker Deepak Chopra, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen G. Sebelius, and Harvard Law School professor Charles J. Ogletree.
Nancy Gertner, HLS professor of practice and former judge of the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts, was counsel of record in an amicus brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court in Dorsey v. U.S. and Corey Hill v. U.S. The Court's decision will determine whether the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, which redressed some of the inequities in the sentencing of defendants in crack-cocaine cases, applies to defendants who were sentenced after the law was enacted, but whose crimes were committed beforehand.
HLS Clinical Professor Ron Sullivan '94, who serves as director of the Harvard Criminal Justice Institute, was recently appointed to the Massachusetts Committee for Public Counsel Services. Sullivan joins Professor Carol Steiker '86, who is also a member of the committee.
The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) has released a summary of "The State of Equity in Metro Boston," a report studying the ways that inequity affects the residents of greater Boston. The full report was released on Tuesday, Dec. 13 at an event co-hosted by Harvard Law School's Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice.
Appearing at Harvard Law School a year and a half after being released from federal prison, a contrite Jack Abramoff expressed a desire to thwart the political corruption he once infamously practiced. The event on Dec. 6 was sponsored by the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, whose director, HLS Professor Lawrence Lessig, interviewed Abramoff, a former lobbyist who pleaded guilty in 2006 to charges of fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy to bribe public officials. "His experience," said Lessig, "has an enormous amount to teach us."
Eight Harvard Law School students in the HLS Education Law Clinic of the Trauma and Learning Policy Initiative (TLPI) recently spent a full day at the Massachusetts State House, testifying before the Joint Committee on Education and lobbying legislators to garner support for legislation proposed by the Clinic to create safe and supportive school environments.
In a comprehensive review published Oct. 20 by the New York Review of Books, retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens provides thoughtful analysis of the recently published book "The Collapse of American Criminal Justice," by the late Harvard Law School Professor William J. Stuntz.

By nature, critical thinking leads to more questions than answers. For a skilled critical thinker, issues are rarely simple. Because critical thought requires approaching a problem from many angles and many perspectives, solutions tend to come in shades of gray rather than black and white.
People who are not inclined towards critical thinking, have a much greater tendency to see things in terms of black and white. For them, conforming to a solution posed by the…

It appears highly probable that the teachings of Buddha, in the form of Greco-Buddhism which was picked up and spread by Hellenistic groups associated with Alexander The Great around 300BC assisted in spreading many of the Buddhist philosophies throughout the Hellenistic world of which the so called birthplace of Jesus Christ was included. So it was extremely probable that Jesus (if he existed) had knowledge of such Buddhist philosophies. Something Christians had wrongly denied by…

Tis the season to be thankful.
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States I'd like to talk a bit about what I see as the two acts of thankfulness: being thankful concerning ones self, and being thankful towards another. I will attempt to make the case that both forms of thanks when properly expressed are essential habits in a humanist.

Indoctrination of children here and around the world is totally unacceptable . Both church and state are heavily involved with this to better control the masses.

Mt. Saint Helens: This active volcano had its last serious eruption in May, 1980, but had a minor but attention-getting eruption of ash in March 2005 (see photos in this gallery). Mt. Saint Helens was named by British explorers in 1792, after Baron St. Helens. It is only 50 miles from Portland, Oregon.
This Shoot: Mount Saint Helens' last big serious of eruptions occurred in 1980, but in the last several months it had been rumbling again. On March 8, 2005, the volcano did erupt though not on the scale of the big 1980 eruption - but it does look impressive from the photos. (No one was killed and Portland didn't even really see ash.) The eruption occurred at about 5:27PM pacific time on that Tuesday, right as commuters were headed home from work.
This photographer was extremely lucky to be up at Pittock Mansion, photographing other things, when he noticed a crowd of people gathered around a viewpoint of Mt. Saint Helens. I had no real reason to be up there at that time - pure luck (I'd been lounging at a Starbucks an hour before, wondering if I should go shoot some pictures on this sunny afternoon). The photo you see above made the front page of the Portland Oregonian the next day, something that will probably never happen to me again.

The Foley House Inn Savannah bed and breakfast consists of two of Savannah's fine old town houses situated in the center of Savannah's Historic District on quiet and peaceful, Chippewa Square.
Of the two adjoining houses that comprise the inn, Dr. Lewis Knoor built one in 1868 and Honoria Foley, the widow of a wealthy Irish immigrant, Owen Foley, completed the other in 1896. Owen and Honoria Foley married on January 12, 1850. He was 40 years old and she was 20 years old. They had two children, Francis born November 1851 and Catherine born 1853. Owen died suddenly in 1855, leaving Honoria, Francis and Catherine quite a sizable estate. However, due to the turmoil in the South after the Civil War, Mr. Foley's assets were frozen for twenty years. During this time his widow, by necessity, became an innkeeper, taking in lodgers to make ends meet. Thus, Honoria Foley became the first Foley House Innkeeper and the Foley House Inn the first Savannah bed and breakfast.
In 1894 Honoria decided she needed more living space. She chose lot#24 of the Brown Ward Section where the ruins of the former 1820 home of James Blois had stood until destroyed in the Great Savannah Fire of 1889. In 1896 the ruins were replaced by the new home of Honoria Foley and today, the house is one of Savannah's premiere bed and breakfast inns, offering a taste of the gracious living enjoyed in the past by the wealthy of Old Savannah.
Mrs. Foley lived at 14 West Hull Street along with her widowed son-in-law, Captain James McIntire, and her five grandchildren, until her death in 1914. At the stately age of 83, Honoria Kirby Foley died of heart failure in the early morning hours of September 6, 1914, peacefully in her sleep.
Now completely restored in every detail, The Foley House Inn Savannah bed and breakfast opened its doors as a B&B Inn in 1982. The guest rooms and public areas are today furnished with a selection of fine antique and period furniture, silver, Oriental rugs, and beautiful paintings that appeal to discriminating guests with a taste for the special things in life, as well as a reverence for the past. In 2006 current innkeepers Allisen & Grant Rogers purchased the Inn and continue to make improvements while honoring the history and prestige of these two beautiful mansions.
The Foley House Inn Savannah bed and breakfast stands as a lasting symbol of graciousness and beauty of Old Savannah and exemplifies the elegance of a glorious past. Most of all, it symbolizes the grace and elegance of a special lady, whose time-honored vigilance as gracious hostess and innkeeper are faithfully assumed by the current owners and their exceptional staff.

Prepare yourself for the hospitality of the South, spacious and exquisitely appointed rooms, large flat screen LCD high definition televisions TV, high speed wireless Internet, guest computer, elegant parlors and garden courtyard hideaways, top notch concierge, and stunning period amenities that compliment Savannah's premier B&B.
The spectacular setting, oversized rooms and classic decor of this Savannah bed and breakfast is just the beginning of making our guests' stay special. However, "special" is not enough for this Savannah Georgia bed and breakfast, we have sought out other ways to make your experience "unforgettable".
In a location that is flanked by historic settings and created in a sophisticated English architecture, you will find a world of relaxation and romance at Savannah's premiere bed and breakfast inn. See what was old and grand once, truly now new and grand again in this small luxury hotel. Small details and classic comforts surround you. Whether it's a grand oversized guestroom or a romantic table for two in our garden, the elegance of the Foley House Inn experience is sure to become an everlasting memory.
The warmth and intimacy of the Foley House Inn will greet you the minute you walk through the park side front doors of our Savannah Georgia bed and breakfast. Our experienced staff will welcome you as you begin your retreat into indulgence. Bold, timeless formal decor is blended with sensuous, living pleasures. Plush bedding, fine linens, gas fireplaces in almost every room, large windows, private balconies, oversized Jacuzzi whirlpools, luxurious toiletries, fluffy robes and oversized bath towels await you at this Savannah bed and breakfast.
Chief amongst the Foley House Inn's many wonderful features is its quiet and central location unique to Savannah bed and breakfast inns. Nestled between two of the oldest churches in Savannah, the inn overlooks beautiful Chippewa Square in the heart of the historic district. The only traffic you will hear in front of our inn is that of horse-drawn carriages. While this Savannah bed and breakfast is walking distance to fine restaurants, museums, and shopping in the historic district, you may prefer a Pedicab, classic car or horse-drawn carriage. The Inn's front desk staff will make all arrangements as you request during your stay at this Savannah bed and breakfast.
The Foley House Inn, at the corner of Bull and Hull Streets is the starting point to stroll in four directions from the Chippewa Square - the exact center of the one-mile square grid that is America's largest preserved historical district. Stroll south across Hull Street and you will quickly encounter, the First Baptist Church, the only church in Savannah to survive all fires since the 1800s. In Chippewa Square, you may tip your hat to Savannah's founder, General James Edward Oglethorpe, whose statue faces south - still protecting Savannah from the Spanish from Florida.
Take in a theater performance at the Savannah Theater, the oldest perpetually open theater in America. Pass the Six Pence Pub [of Julia Roberts fame] on the way to the Greene-Meldrim Mansion, where General Sherman stayed at the end of the Civil War, telegramming President Abraham Lincoln, "Mr. President, I give you for Christmas, the City of Savannah." Pass the Mercer House, where Jim Williams shot his lover in the best selling novel and Clint Eastwood directed the scandalous movie, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." Press onward to the Oglethorpe Club, Gryphon Tea Room, Temple Mikve Israel (the second Oldest Synagogue in America), the Fountain in Forsyth Park and genealogy at the Georgia Historic Society - to name only a few highlights.
Travel north from the Foley House onto Bull Street; pass the Independent Presbyterian Church (whose steeple was featured in the "Forrest Gump" movie). Notice the red brick school administration building, formerly the Savannah Pavilion Hotel, later a combined high- and grammar-school. Continuing northward, you will encounter Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Lowe's birthplace home, Chief Tomochichi's tomb in Wright Square, the gold dome of City Hall overseeing the Savannah River walk, the Cotton Exchange on Upper Factor's Walk, world-class architecture, antique shops, festivals in the squares and theaters, City Market cafe shops and art galleries, museums, and Broughton Street - a colonnade of downtown Savannah's diverse ethnic restaurants and shops. Ultimately you will want to explore River Street, and perhaps cruise up the Savannah River for a riverfront view of the city's high bluff and protective old forts. Return for extraordinary pampering at the finest luxury lodging in the Savannah Historic District neighborhood, The Foley House Inn.
Four-legged guests are always welcome at the Foley House Inn.
We're proud to be the only truly pet friendly bed & breakfast or hotel in Savannah's Historic District. There are almost no restrictions to our pet policies, so why not bring your dog or cat with you to Savannah?

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There's a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they're buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn't fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
1 - 3
The product is bad in almost every aspect. We strongly advise against purchasing this product.
4 - 6
An average product that isn't the best you can buy, but isn't the worst either.
7 - 8
Product with this rating is highly recommended because it's priced sensibly, has a good set of features and performs well.
9 - 10
Exceptionally excellent product with features and performance unlike any we've seen in the past. A must-have for everyone!

2012 NBA Draft Winners
It was expected to be a frenetic draft in which teams where wheeling and dealing their way around the first round. While that didn't come to fruition, there were plenty of teams that made some things happen last night and came out as winners.
Let's play Monday morning quarterback and pick out some winners the day after the 2012 NBA Draft.
New Orleans Hornets:
Drafting consensus number one Anthony Davis with the first pick of the draft and following that up with guard Austin Rivers at number 10 made sure the Hornets came out as winners last night. Davis projects to be a dominant post player in the NBA and Rivers provides both protection should New Orleans decide not to match an offer for Eric Gordon and a possible backcourt mate for Gordon should he stay.
Both players are fierce competitors and tireless workers that possess both the skill and acumen to become key contributors during their NBA careers.
The second round pick of Kentucky forward Darius Miller isn't a jaw dropper but an outstanding haul with two of the top 10 picks of the draft puts this team back on track for life after Chris Paul.
Portland Trail Blazers:
Another team with two picks in the lottery, the Blazers made the most of number six and number 11 by drafting point guard Damian Lillard and center Meyers Leonard. Combine those two potential starters with the selection of shooting guard Will Barton, who was viewed by many as a first round talent, in the second round and you're looking at an impressive 2012 draft class.
These moves, combined with an already young and talented core of LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum currently in Portland, have a chance to make the Blazers a talented team for years to come. Acquiring three possible starters (Lillard at point guard and Leonard at center are virtually locks) in one draft is quite a haul.
Houston Rockets:
With three of the first 20 picks in the draft, the Rockets had high hopes of making the Orlando Magic an offer they couldn't refuse for center Dwight Howard. While that dream didn't come to fruition, Houston did manage to make excellent use of those three picks.
The Rockets used each pick wisely in taking Kentucky forward Terrence Jones, Connecticut guard Jeremy Lamb and Iowa State forward Royce White, who are all blue-chip talents. One or all of these players could still be used in a package to acquire Howard but, either way, stockpiling talent was the Rockets goal and they certainly accomplished that Thursday night.
Terrence Ross:
Projected by most (including myself) to be selected in the middle of the first round of the draft, Ross cracked the top-10 and was selected by the Toronto Raptors at number eight overall. This is a huge win for Ross as some thought the swingman out of Washington might even last into the early 20's as a steal for a contending team.
As it stands, Ross now has the opportunity to prove all of his critics wrong as he should have a decent amount of playing time early and often for Toronto. The key to extended minutes, and possibly even a starting role, will be how well he and DeMar DeRozen click together at the wing positions. If they are able to coexist and get some cohesion, the duo could be a solid combo on the perimeter.
Sacramento Kings:
Having arguably the second-best player in the 2012 NBA Draft in Thomas Robinson fall to them with the fifth pick in the first round was clearly the best case scenario for the Kings. It was suggested that Sacramento was primed to deal the pick if Robinson didn't fall to five but after the Cleveland Cavaliers went with Syracuse guard Dion Waiters, the power forward out of Kansas was there for the taking.
Now the Kings have the luxury of starting two frontcourt players – Robinson and DeMarcus Cousins – who have the talent set to dominate the opposition on a night-in, night-out basis. Don't expect Sacramento to lose many battles on the interior next season or for the foreseeable future with these two patrolling the paint.
Oklahoma City Thunder:
It was hard to expect the type of fall that happened for Baylor's Perry Jones III and the Thunder made out like bandits in taking the forward near the end of the first round. Due to a meniscus issue in his left knee, Jones slid out of the teens and late into the first round right into the hands of the defending Western Conference champion Thunder.
It might just be the best place for him. Jones now has the ability to heal and grow as a player with OKC without being pushed into extended minutes early on in his career.
For the Thunder, they have the luxury of taking their time with a skilled player like Jones and allowing him to learn from one of the most talented teams in the league featuring Russell Westbrook, James Harden and, of course, Kevin Durant. Also, should the Thunder decide Serge Ibaka's asking price is too high in the near future, Jones could be a possible replacement.
Kentucky Basketball:
The Kentucky Wildcats basketball program might have had the best night at the 2012 NBA Draft. Teammates Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist names' being called back to back as the first and second overall picks was an NBA Draft first. Along with that, six Wildcats total were drafted Thursday night, which tied an NBA record for most players taken from one school in the first two rounds of the draft.
It's a safe bet that Kentucky head coach John Calipari is going to continue to have no problem recruiting top level talent for the foreseeable future.
Those are your 2012 NBA Draft winners. Stay tuned later this afternoon for the losers of last night's draft.

Atheists are a small minority in the U.S. Advocates of gun control might be a minority in America as well. In light of the recent shootings in Aurora I am curious as to how atheists in this network view the lack of gun restrictions. There are probably divergent views.
I have trouble believing that both presidential candidates are steering away from any call for reform after the horrific mass shooting. In my opinion it is insane to allow citizens access to assault weapons that can kill scores of people in a few minutes. It was even more shocking to hear on a news show that a family had to raise money to pay for the immense hospital bills for one of the victims while they were already crippled with medical bills from the mothers fight with breast cancer.
As a Canadian I came to stand with my U.S brothers for the reason rally and freedom from religion. I would be willing to come down to the capitol and march for two other important causes. Gun control and universal health care.
Russell, you make some good points and I'm considering them, as I have with all posts here that weren't dogmatic or used name calling.
If I eventually decide you're right, that still leaves me with the desire to be able to defend myself against individuals or groups that attack me, especially those that break into my home. That's one thing that will take much more convincing to get me to change my mind.
I apologize for the "all bold". My eyesight is not so good, and it helps me see. Normally sites do not recognize my choice of "text style", and default to their own font, but I have found that A/N does not.
Again, I apologize, and do not intend to post in "all bold". I will make an effort to see that it does not happen again.
That being said, I think "evolution" is a perfectly appropriate word, as civilization evolves just as organisms have and will continue to evolve.
I do not share your jaundiced view of government, nor do I share your (or Idaho Spud's) paranoia about the future. (as there are simply no "arguments for getting rid of our guns" being made)
"I'd take a free violent society over a Big Brother safe society any day." is a perfect example of a false choice.
Your personal freedoms do not transcend the common good. In reality it is the common good that protects and enhances your individual freedoms.
The gun argument in the U.S. is a result of the impression that the freedom of unrestricted access to weapons has turned against the common good.
I can't speak for Canada, but here in the U.S. the Constitution is a document that allows the continuing balancing act between personal freedoms and the common good to occur, and for us to argue about it.
Tell me this, what dystopian novels/essays have you read, and do you find their outcomes to be desirable? Do you really think 1984 or Equilibrium are desirable lifestyles????? There is practically no difference between N.American democracies and "1984". The Equilibrium version is under way... the percentage of permanently medicated humans is nearing 30% in some areas and will soon reach a majority of society.
So no, I do not have 'paranoia' about the future... I have dislike of the present directions of politics in N.America, present... And no, the good of all is not always better than individuality. And I'm saying this as a leftist!!! Much (not all) of the proposed anti-gun legislation favour power structures/institutions over people. Western society has nearly erased the individual in order to satisfy the resource consistency needs of our oligarchy.
Remember that we are apes, we are not ants, we are not sardines, we are not bees, nor are we meerkats. Though we're a sociable species, we are NOT biologically EVOLVED to live in these over-crowded, no individuality environments. Our biological engines know not how to handle this ridiculous lifestyle we have chosen.
Your world view will eventually lead us to a bubble wrapped life, the only danger in that type of society is severe depression (which is already started, depression is becoming the number one healthcare cost in Western societies).
Bubble wrapped, in the name of survival at all costs. That's not living. No thank you. Life is not precious. We live we die, the point is, if there is one, to make the best of the time in between.
Wow. You've made an awful lot of claims in that one post, all of which (to me, anyways) need to be demonstrated.
Why/how are our democracies a joke? In what way do you not feel that your vote counts?
Why/how is a gunless world dystopian, and as James Kz has mentioned above, why do you think that the gun toters of America could possibly stave off any sort of militarized statehood if the government really wanted to turn the country into a modern day Soviet Union? They have drones now that they can fly up the ass of a camel from 400 miles. A redneck with 2 gunrooms won't have anything to say about that.
There are an enormous amount of countries in the world who are (relatively) gun free, who could not less resemble Orwell's book, so basically, it's difficult for me to not look at this post and essentially read: "they're going to take the guns away and turn everyone into a slave." You've cited that Canada is no longer a true democracy. Very well, what is a true democracy to you, and how does it differ from what we currently have? Would simply giving our guns back change that? - because this is essentially what the tone of your post sounds like.
Sorry, but I just don't get it.
Our democracy is a joke, well if you don't see it you simply have not been looking at any numbers for the past 30 years in North America anyway, generally, and the last decade specifically, very visible with the squashing of demonstrations. You realise the reason you see less demonstrating in N.America is because our law and order shuts them down before they get anywhere. Agents provocateurs have been denounced in all major events, having been used as law enforcement excuses to bring in the heavy hand.
As for defending against government, indeed, drones flying up camels' asses are a great demonstration of how minute the power of guns are in society. Death by gun on innocents is rare, sufficiently rare, for it not to bother me. But if it really came down to our drones used by our military on us... and we're real close to that when you look at the technology now used to squash people here, at least having a gun you could possibly stop the person controlling the drone. It's better than nothing.
Dystopian novels are a favourite genre of mine, dystopias in print are generally the result of powerless and medicated civilians. There are a couple of exceptions of course, but I'm speaking generally. Many events in human history have also evidenced that the easiest way to overthrow a people is to de-weapon them. It's really no secret. Not just physical weapons, organisational tools also. For example in France and Italy, coffee was originally prohibited because it got the masses riled up and talking politics and threatening to overthrow power. I am in favour of any tool that can be used to overthrow power, it is the only way that the government does not become a dictatorship owned by money... but we're already on our way there. Democracy was developed in restricted groups of people of similar cultures. Democracy is not adapted to rule giant masses of heterogeneous humans. Then it just becomes domination of a majority over various minorities, and occasionally, the rule of minorities over disenfranchised people.
Matthew, the term "our democracy" is a lie.
The truth? Our oligarchy, a nation ruled by a few.
If the few, the Congress especially, were our best, America would be an aristocracy. They are not our best.
America is a democracy only on the days we vote for those who will become our oligarchs.
I hate violence and long for a peaceful society, where I don't need alarms, locks, fences or guns. But I'm not giving up my guns until it becomes clear that there is no more chance of this country becoming a dictatorship. History is replete with examples of those that want to control others, and I don't see it changing much so far. It does appear that things are changing for the better, but I don't expect a peaceful society for a long time.
The statistically proven to reduce social violence is to reduce economic disparity and improve infant education.
Yet, we're obsessed with knee-jerk political reactions to small events. Yes. This most recent shooting is but a small event and should not affect the our thinking in the larger picture. Guns are really irrelevant to the conversation on violence. That raped lady in India was not at the end of a gun, most people who die violently do not do so because of guns.
As a lefty, I am more and more depressed at the crying liberal attitude I see. The trouble with the crying liberal methodology is it's constantly about applying little teensy bandages to fix non relevant problems, while we let the real big time criminals get away with all sorts of crimes. Reducing clip size and banning certain uglier looking guns is a useless endeavour.
It's social paradigm shift that is needed, and this paradigm shift should be much more evident in a growing atheist crowd. Unfortunately, people cling to Christian values, even when deleting God ideas.
The only way to achieve a peaceful society is dictatorship and cultural homogeneity. Look at history books, take a good look at history books, all the "safe" periods in various countries (safe for the majority, but lethal for the few/several shit disturbers) point to that.
The grand ole dream of "PEACE on Earth" is a 20th century delusion. It is impossible to achieve at a grand or polite scale.
"Most people who die violently do not do so because of guns".
Well.... in the United States they sure do...
You build a very strong case with the economic disparity and education, though. I've heard super racist arguments from people that it's the blacks and hispanics in America responsible for all the crime, because of their skin - with no regard whatsoever given to the economic disparity that you are talking about. Ignoring it is just stupid.
I didn't say "homicide" I said "violently". Violently is anything that is not natural. Even dying of emphysema is violent, try it, I have relatives who died that way, and it was a daily physical violence. I am un-preoccupied by homicide rates, and much more preoccupied by quality of life, while we're alive. Once someone is dead there's no pain, they cease to exist, so I don't have much issue with it, now if it's done slowly and painfully, that concerns me more, so given the choice, I'd prefer a crazy person with a gun than with a knife.
Now if we, as a society, are really concerned with reducing deaths, we should focus our energy on where it will really make a difference and stop wasting our time with trivialities. To me, guns are trivialities. There is much worse in society.
Caucasians are just less in jail because they receive better treatment from the legal system, that is an entirely other debate. Also us whities have learned that corporate crimes pays much higher dividends, sufficient to stave off the law in a vast majority of cases. Now that's the way to go.
Well, sure. I guess if you're going to open up violent deaths to really anything that involves a human being suffering before the synapses in their brain stop firing, then yeah... guns are completely a non-problem.
I mean... I really don't know what to say to that. Were you sincerely trying to make the point that as long as people are dying of diseases, accidents, and non-homicidal causes of all kinds, we might as well forget about the fact that an enormous percentage of the murders in America are gun related? At least make the case that people would still be murdering at the same rate, whether they had guns or not. I wouldn't believe it, but it would actually be a case against what I said. I'm not worried about diseases in a gun control debate.
"I'd prefer a crazy person with a gun than with a knife".
I personally wouldn't. At all. And truthfully, I'm not sure how much support you're going to gain with this idea, but I know where you stand at least.
Furthermore, the "whitey", white-collar crime you're referring to accounts for less than 4%. Impoverished whites commit comparable levels of "blue-collar" offences to blacks and hispanics in America. I think your point has been lost on me on that one.
Listen, I'm not trying to be the jackass who constantly challenges you on everything, I'm really not. You raise some veritable points in terms of poverty, education and overall living improvement for the masses. You'll get no argument from me there. I suppose (in response to the above comments) I could even agree that Harper has stepped on protests more than any Prime Minister in recent memory (the postal workers, Air Canada, and CP Rail come to mind) - but I don't consider this nearly strong enough evidence to support your position that democracies are falling to pieces. In a democratic sense (the exact definition of which is that each person is equally represented), I'm very certain the majority of Canadians wanted these people back to work as well. I'm not saying it was a just decision, and in fact it pissed me off just as much as it seems to have you - BUT - a few bad calls on his part in no way reflect the symptoms of democratic failure. You still have just as much say now as 30 years ago (to use your figure), so I reject your claim outright. Personally, it's none of my business, but these dystopian novels you enjoy so much may have inoculated you with severe paranoia, just like Asa said. I'm not sure what kind of "lefty" you are, but it generally doesn't encompass such an impractical fear of governmental involvement...
Again, my wish isn't to come across as so strongly combative, it's just... you're making so, SO many claims without any real substance to back them up. It's a lot of anecdotal rhetoric and Orwell ideas, at least to me. Data is all that matters in a discussion like this, and the fact is, it doesn't support many of your positions.
This conversation is not about "evidence", the anti-gun folks do not have better statistics than the pro-gun folks, though the NRA's points surpass the anti-gun folks in stupidity by a large margin.
The point is, when it comes to the true effect of guns on society, it's all rhetoric. And though yes, my life experience is anecdotal, it encompasses a half century of living/working in 12 countries, in 4 languages, and 11 years in university, mostly science... so I do consider my opinion to tilt on the side of "informed". So in a discussion which is supposed to be an "atheist's" perspective on gun control, the most rational position is that the gun debate is a ridiculous one, amped up by media. And that the entire content is really us debating the merits of ideas... since there is no evidence.
As for the state of our democracy, as I said, it's not just the past decade, it's been a long time in the making. I don't see Harper as worse than Mulroney really, or any NDP or Liberal (Canadian pop-politics for the non-Canadians reading this). You're allowed to think that Canada is doing a fine job of running things, but I'll disagree with that point til you demonstrate to me that Canadians are better off than in the past. Mental health is going down everywhere in Canada, it will soon be the number one cost in healthcare. That is the ultimate sign of a failed social policy.
So I really don't give a hoot about gun crime specifically. I don't own a gun and don't plan on one in the near future, but I also don't give-in to social hysteria, which is all this gun debate is about.
Put an end to the Alberta Tar Sands party, end back-to-work legislation, freeze tuition fees, institute proper living wages, cap CEO salaries at 10x the bottom salary in businesses, remove person-hood from corporations and give it to ecosystemic components, then we'll be on our way to less violent deaths, guns... meh... pointless debate. As a female in N.America, if I die violently, 9/10 times it's at the hand of the male who's my loved-one, that concerns me a hell of a lot more.

Attention AM members:
It has been brought to my attention that there was a production error on our part with the T-Rez capsules. The original run was supposed to be 60 capsules but we produced 120 capsules and mistakingly sold them at the 60 count price. Trans-Resveratrol 98% is a very expensive raw material, and to give you an idea on pricing, there are comparable products to T-Rez out there selling for over $120 per 120 capsule bottle!
So what does this all mean?
Well, those of you who purchased T-Rez or the TNT Stack just got hooked up with a deal of the century considering that we sold the T-Rez BELOW cost! But, we are glad that everyone was able to obtain this potent extract of Resveratrol brought to you by NutraPlanet, and get to experience the difference in our highly concentrated extract.
So what now?
Well, good question...we could have rebottled the remaining T-Rez, but the costs to do so would not have been very practical, so I decided to blow out the last remaining bottles at our cost of $39.99. Please be aware there are not many bottles left and will not last long. We will be coming out with a 60 count bottle very soon at the price of $29.95 so for $10 more you are getting DOUBLE the amount!
As always, thank you to all of our loyal customers...and we hope you enjoy this extraordinary sales event on the T-Rez!

A Brief History of Popsicles
Are you as hot as we are? Temperatures are hitting the triple digits in D.C. this week, which makes me want to say something clever about third digits and obscenities, but my brain has melted past the point of cleverness and seems to be functioning as little more than a nerve center for "Me Want Ice Cream" impulses. Not that I think about ice cream (or maple creemees) all the time, of course. Nope. I'm not that simple-minded.
Sometimes I also think about popsicles.
Popsicles originated as a happy accident, according to the food inventions exhibit I just visited at the National Inventors Hall of Fame and Museum. The story goes that on a chilly San Francisco evening back in 1905, an 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson was making himself a soft drink, using a cup and a stirring stick to blend a powdered mix with water. Somehow he got distracted and left the concoction on his front porch overnight. In the morning, he discovered the drink had frozen with the stick inside, making a handle of sorts. Eureka!
Amazingly, by the time it occurred to Frank as an adult that such frozen treats might be marketable, no one else had thought of (or stolen) his idea yet. He patented "frozen ice on a stick" in 1923 and started making what he called "Eppsicles" and his children soon termed "Popsicles." A year or two later, Epperson sold his patent to the Joe Lowe Co. The nickel-priced novelties soon took off like wildfire. (Well, really cold wildfire.) These days, the brand name is owned by Unilever, but most of us refer to all ice-on-a-stick as "popsicles," the way we call all tissues "kleenex."
I admit that there's something alluring about those old-fashioned, tongue-staining, splittable-if-you-must popsicles, the kind sold from ice cream trucks and convenience-store freezers. But I also love homemade popsicles, the kind my mom made with one of those white plastic Tupperware kits. She would freeze orange juice, yogurt, or a mixture of both, like a creamsicle. These healthy variants miraculously fell into the "eat as much as you want without asking permission" category when my brother and I were kids, foraging in the freezer between runs through the sprinkler on summer vacation.
Inspired by that, here are a few ideas for making your own popsicle variations:
1. Puree fresh watermelon with a hint of lime juice for a sweet treat with no added sugar.
2. Use shot glasses instead of plastic molds for a more elegant look, like La Tartine Gourmand's rhubarb and raspberry yogurt ice pops.
3. Put a stick in a chunk of peeled banana, and freeze it with a tasty coating like chocolate or peanut butter—or both, as Simple Bites does.
4. Make bite-sized pops using toothpicks stuck in grapes or blueberries.
5. Who says popsicles have to be sweet? Try unusual flavors like sour plum, wasabi-citrus or even pickle juice pops.
What other ideas do you have?

Lemonade with Vodka.
I never knew the history of popsicles – this is so cool! It's been hot in CT too, we're all about making watermelon with lemon popsicles, mmm….
Just got done making icicle pops with my FoodSaver. If you use a fruit puree, like you mentioned, you don't even need sugar – and you get all the health benefit of eating a fruit (unlike some juices that claim you do.)
Luckily DC can now come get their own homemade pops with local ingredients from the Pleasant Pops guys – they sell on Saturdays from 9am-1pm at the Mt. Pleasant Farmers Market (and cater too!).
New flavor they have for this week is Watermelon and Black Pepper (haven't tried it yet), and I can vouch for the Peaches and Ginger, Cucumber Chili and Strawberries and Cream ones that will be around this week too.

All along the Gulf Coast, from New Orleans to Panama City, there are groups of people who band together for a common goal, and call themselves a krewe. Generally, the common goal has been to have a good time, but some krewes are known for their philanthropy as much as they are known for their cheerful attitudes.
The Krewe du YaYas are one such organization, started 10 years ago by a group of women who wanted to make an impact in one of the most serious of diseases – breast cancer.
"It was started in 2002 by about 6 women that came up with the idea, they wanted to have a Mardi Gras float but do something for the community, and they chose breast cancer as the focus," said membership chair Brenda Adams.
The Krewe raises money through its foundation, the KDYY Keeping Abreast Foundation. Having foundation status means the Krewe can offer tax exempt status for donors who help defray the cost of their fundraising events.
"It gives us more flexibility in asking people for funds," said Adams "It's ideal to have our expenses covered, so all the participant funds go back into the community."

Put a little sting in your guitar.
Straight from Gibson Guitar's Historic Re-issue guitars come Gibson's new Historic Spec series—parts that have been specially designed to replicate the original parts used by Gibson in the late 1950s.
This two-pack of .022 mfd Gibson Bumblebee Capacitors look, perform, and sound just like the original capacitors that were used on late-'50s Gibson Les Pauls and vintage SGs. Famous for their tone (and their stripes!), the Historic Spec Bumblebee Capacitors are specially made for Gibson and can help you achieve that sweet, full tone that Gibson's legendary instruments are famous for.
