Most of the nearly 50 angry letters, phone messages and emails ask essentially the same question:
"How could you possibly have named a publicly funded building after someone who was wanted on felony warrants, was speeding in a stolen car, bumped a police officer with his car, knocking him onto the hood, and was in possession of crack cocaine?" |

Rep. Bruce Smith (R-York) suggested lowering Pennsylvania's hunting age from 12 to 10 so more children can experience the thrill and learn the discipline of hunting.
Under the bill, 10-year-olds would have to pass the state's Hunter-Trapper Education Course. The test would determine which children are ready to hunt. The bill also requires parental supervision.
Acknowledging differing opinions, Rep. Smith said he'll hold public hearings on the bill so opponents can be heard. |

Organizers 'Silent March' and 'New Yorkers Against Gun Violence' are calling on Americans to "wake up" to the "fact" that ... "lax US gun policy" is putting at risk not just Americans, but hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
"In support of this global effort to combat gun-running, US activists plan to demand that Congress and the President immediately close the infamous gun show loophole by passing national legislation."
~How can anyone BELIEVE this nonsense? |

This article represents a spin oppurtunity for the drama/debate club on the hill. Following on the heels of W's sellout improvement of gun registrations (3 steps forward for Brady bunch), WE are supposed to feel good about this reduction in time the FBI can hold your records (c'mon you trust these guys, right? -NOT). This is the 2-steps-back part of the deal, the end advantage going to the gun-grabbers. Watch the "spin" script readers expressing their outrage or support. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
