"Last Wednesday, Mayor Daley convened a roundtable discussion at the Harold Washington Library whose title says it all: 'Protecting our Children from Violence.' If you're like me, the problem of violence is at the top of the list of problems that plague our youth, especially in major metropolises where access to guns is often deadly." |

"When the jury in the Judi Bari trial requested copies of the First and Fourth Amendments this week, the FBI showed its true stripes by objecting. The jury asked for copies of the amendments to the U.S. Constitution to consider during deliberation, but Department of Justice council attorney Joseph Sher and City of Oakland attorney Marie Bee asked the judge not to grant their request." |

"what have our intelligence agencies done since September 11?"
"they asked for, and received, a host of new powers in an anti-terror bill, including the right to engage in secret searches, warrantless Internet surveillance, warrantless access to phone records, and a requirement that retailers report "suspicious" customer transactions to the Treasury."
"Meanwhile, ... the feds have been ... smearing anyone who asks the obvious follow-up questions." |

"After I called for a boycott of the airlines last month, I was inundated with hundreds of e-mails advising me that you readers were already doing exactly that."
"Recent reports suggest the airlines are starting to feel the pinch financially despite the optimistic pronouncements of the same Wall Street types that gave Enron a glowing bill of health. Yet, amazingly, other reports indicate the abusive nature of airline and airport employees toward passengers is increasing." |

276 days in the Detention Center on a money-laundering charge that was dropped. When he was released, he found that West Memphis prosecutors had seized his auto and cash at the time of his arrest. His lawyer is trying to get his money back, without success -- another example of forfeiture power abuse in *suspected* (not convicted) drug cases. |

"Schools are so busy telling everyone else's story, there's no time for our own. At its 2001 convention, the National Education Association passed resolutions supporting multicultural education and global education. Absent was any suggestion that students should receive an American education."
"Only here do our elites cringe at the thought of teaching students that there's something special and unique about their homeland. They are traitors of the heart..." |

YES - The Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms does not stop at campus gates. Students should have the ability to keep themselves safe and it would be an effective crime deterrent.
NO - Protection and safety should be left to the police. Firearms have no place whatsoever on campus.

"Forgive me. For a little while, after Sept. 11, I actually believed our government might respond to the terrorist attacks with some common-sense, self-defense measures and policies."
"Boy, was I a dope."
"Despite the fact that polls of even gun-control advocates show 77% favor arming airline pilots to avoid hijackings, the Bush administration refuses to heed the call." |

"Yes ladies and gentlemen, in their infinite wisdom they have decided that they would rather shoot down airliners with F-16's, certainly killing all on board, than to let the pilots arm themselves as a last line of defense against two bit terrorists with box cutters trying to commandeer their plane. I guess the Bush and Ashcroft regime aren't as "gun friendly" as they would have us to believe, and this speaks volumes to their lip service to the Second Amendment." |
