More Guns, Less Crime


If you are a home or business invader (i.e. criminal), are you going to invade a home or business where there probably are firearms, or are you going to invade a home where there probably are no firearms?  Seems like a "no brainer".

Statistically, scientifically, and really, violent crime rates go down when states pass "shall issue" concealed carry laws.  This, according to John Lott, who published a statistical analysis of crime data for every county in the United States during 29 years from 1977 to 2005.

Don't Live Just to Live!


Apparently, older people take less risks.  Why? 

If you have less to look forward to, i.e. less to lose, why wouldn't you take on more risk for greater experiences, e.g. walking the entire Pyrenees following the GR10 hiking route from coast to coast?

Why keep living just for the sake of living?

Why Taxes?


If governments can make money with the press of a button, then why do we need to pay taxes to them?  Think about it.
