trust, by the time they are done with him

he will be an america hating, socialist, racist pig,,,,

no matter his accomplishments coming up in the segregated and racist times that he did

Sean Hannity and Fox News who watches this garbage. Derrick Bell is a man who made a difference in the world. Look at all the people there.

Why should insurance cover birth control?

ID rather the woman carry the baby to extend bonding time before the baby is born and possibly feeding off of that parents breast

Gun-control advocates look at guns only as a means to harm others even though they are more often used to prevent injury. According to a 1995 study entitled “Armed Resistance to Crime: The Prevalence and Nature of Self-Defense with a Gun” by Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz, published by the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology at Northwestern University School of Law, law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year.

That means that firearms are used 60 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to shoot with criminal intent. Of these defensive shootings, more than 200,000 are by women defending themselves against sexual abuse. About half a million times a year, a citizen carrying a gun away from home uses it in self-defense. Again, according to Kleck amd Gertz, “Citizens shoot and kill more criminals than police do every year [2,819 times versus 303].” Moreover, as George Will pointed out in an article entitled “Are We a Nation of Cowards?” in the November 15, 1993, issue of Newsweek, while police have an error rate of 11 percent when it comes to the accidental shooting of innocent civilians, the armed citizens’ error rate is only 2 percent, making them five times safer than police.

I personally believe it means next to nothing, but Im just showing how to pull random sampling and numbers and use them to seem to s upport one side or the other

I dont really think its all about having more gun restriction or less, its more about the culture (which can vary from region to region and state to state) in which those restrictions occur,,,

oh and about the op

even with a gun, you are still a 'victim', the crime just has the word 'attempted' placed in front

I think its ingenuous to describe the pov as that of supporting being a victim as a means of self defense

its more about what TYPE of victim is better,, one in which there is a defendant and plaintiff left to live another day

or one where someone dies unnecessarily,,,,

its really just balance

there wasnt enough balance (seems like) in the home, regardless of whether the parents or the children felt 'secondary'

the truth in our home was that our parents were more than a relationship they were a UNIT,, you cant seperate a unit, one part of a unit cant come after other units,,,,

so, my mom and dad were one, and there was therefore no way to feel I was more important to one or the other, I was just equally important to BOTH and would never ask or expect them to care more for me than themself (although I understand this is becoming the norm in modern culture), although I also didnt expect them , as a unit, to love me less

but there was no, does mom love me more than she loves dad, or does dad love me more than mom,, they were one, they were going to have to work at being one long after I left home to have a life of my own, so there was going to be more actual effort they had to put into preserving their unit of choice, than it would to preserve our relationship of biology,,,

I admire and respect anyone who puts their children first while they are children. My view is that the alternative is irresponsible.
