Connecticut School shooting!

While I often disagree with you, I tend to agree with this entirely. In a country with 310 million people, a few every year are going to snap and go off. It is impossible to prevent all of them. Make mental health resources cheaper, use existing law enforcement. Other than that, we can...

Petition to define Westboro as official hate group.

Well, they ARE a hate group. That much is self-evident. However, I fail to see the point of officially defining them as such.

Connecticut School shooting!

I don't think gun control would work to prevent incidents like what this thread is about. I'm against it because I think it will be ineffective. With or without 2A, I think we have to honor the general principle of personal freedom unless there is a compelling reason not to, and that means not...

Breaking: US sending 400 soldiers, Air Defense to Turkey

This kind of congenital stupidity is frankly why I don't post here much any more.

Connecticut School shooting!

Who is to say that there were any signs of mental health issues on the mother's part before she had this child? Mental illness can manifest at any time in a person's life. My hunch is that rich hubby left in 2009 because the wife was getting nutty. But she probably wasn't nutty when they got...

Connecticut School shooting!

I don't know what kind of laws would have averted this crime, unless it's banning all guns, and being able to actually do it effectively. On the mental health front, all certain people knew was that the kid was odd and socially awkward. The descriptions sound a lot like Asperger's to me...

Obama: "Doesn't make sense...to focus on recreational drug users"

That would be about the average age of people who still use that particular terms, yes. I recall representing someone before a county Board of Supervisors who was trying to get approval to open a dispensary. There was this town meeting where a bunch of people who lived near the place for the...

Bobby Jindal: Birth Control Should Be Over-The-Counter

Honestly I can't believe he is being considered for a 2016 run. Did you see his speech in response to Obama's address to Congress in '09? It wasn't just the substance that was bad. He comes across as weak and feckless. It wasn't just one bad speech either. You can't fix an inherent lack of...

huckabee attributes kiddie shooting to separation of church and state

I'm no great fan of LL, but I'm pretty sure he's saying that Huckabee is wrong to suggest that introducing religion into the equation would have prevented this act of violence because there is, after all, much violence which is motivated by religion. Not quite the same thing as saying there...

Who is being an "honest Broker" in the debt ceiling negotiations?

If they compromise on the tax increases and spending cuts, I don't really care if the debt ceiling gets raised as "part of the deal" or if it's seen as a separate thing. In the long run, it needs to go away entirely. Using legislation to artificially create a very real crisis every year is...

Obama: "Doesn't make sense...to focus on recreational drug users"

This implies that liberals approved of his original opposition to gay marriage. I'm not aware that they did, making this essentially a straw man.

Obama: "Doesn't make sense...to focus on recreational drug users"

No, but he he has the power to decide how to prioritize finite resources. The distinction may seem subtle, but it's a very important one.

Connecticut School shooting!

Sure, but what you're talking about here is locking up a bunch of people who haven't committed a crime. Violence is actually quite difficult to predict, even by professionals. Generally homicidal ideation is not acted upon. To resolve the ambiguity in favor of public safety will mean locking...

New Analysis of Peer Reviewed Climate Change Articles Reinforces Disbelief in Man

The blogger read portions of these articles, or so he says. That negates many of these observations. Not going through all of them to tally it. Have you tallied it? If so, what is the number you've come up with? This is at least on point to what I what I have said. However, it is...

huckabee attributes kiddie shooting to separation of church and state

Is this the same Mike Huckabee who pardoned a guy who went on to murder 4 police officers? I wonder if he has a religious theory on how that occurred.
