I think it has to do with the people who say non-white people are inheritly inferior and need government assistance. You know, the Democrats. The party of old money, and actors.
I personally think each case should be decided on the merits of that person's needs, not on the color of his skin. That the content of his character would determine if he gets a job, not some government quota, but I guess thats only a dream of mine.
KEY FINDINGS
Overall, firearms (including air weapons) were used in 0.4 per cent of all recorded crimes. The proportion excluding air weapons was 0.18 per cent.
Firearms other than air weapons were reported to have been used in 9,974 recorded crimes in 2001/02. This was a 35 per cent increase over the previous year.
Air weapons were used in 12,340 recorded crimes, a rise of 21 per cent compared to 2000/01. Threequarters (77%) of recorded crimes involving air weapons were of criminal damage.
There were 97 fatalities and 558 serious injuries resulting from crimes that involved firearms (including air weapons) in 2001/02.
Handguns were used in 5,871 recorded crimes, an increase of 46 per cent on the previous year. Seventy per cent of robberies in which a firearm was present involved a handgun.
The number of firearm robberies increased by a third (34%) between 2000-01 and 2001/02. Currently, the number of firearm robberies is the highest since 1993. However, the proportion of robberies involving firearms (including air weapons) has remained between four and five per cent for the last five years.
Weapons were fired in only 24 per cent of firearm crimes (excluding those involving air weapons). In most of the cases (84%) where a handgun was present, it was used as a threat and was not fired or used as a blunt instrument.
Crime rates headed up. (Although in most cases its used as intimidation. Frankly I like the US's straight statistics setup instead of the political couching and analysis of England, but thats just me.)
As for hate speech, I don't see how buying an old antique that just happens to have the swastika on it is hate speech, but they disagree with it so down the memory hole it goes. (Apologies to Mr. Orwell. Remember kids the memory hole is just for paper. For disposal of other items just place the item in view of a telescreen, and your helpful Ministry of Justice will send someone to deal with it promptly. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH ALL HAIL BIG BROTHER!)

If you are unable to discuss the causes, effects, and methods of an ideology then over time you will begin to lose sight of what made it so bad in the first place. Just sweeping it under the rug of history, and hoping it goes away is not the action of a rational being or society. It is like covering a boil up with makeup and leaving it to fester. It will only get more dangerous, more painful, and harder to remove.
1. An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers.
2. A military force that is not part of a regular army and is subject to call for service in an emergency.
3. The whole body of physically fit civilians eligible by law for military service.
Technically if you can hold a gun you are in the militia. The second amendment calls for "A well regulated Militia" depending on the way you read the commas that phrase isn't even important.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
If you do a sentence diagram of that you get this (I love the internet, it does so much of the work for me.) where it shows that the noun/verb/adjective core of the sentence is "(the) right shall (not) be infringed". So the militia is completely secondary to the point of the sentence.
So are you criticizing the current administration, the local governing policies of the District of Columbia, or the overall policy decisions of both parties?
I think the whole campaign finance reform thing was a scam so the big money could control who could contribute to politics.
Frankly I think we should go all declaration of independance on both parties and the horses they rode in on, but then again I'm tired and cranky from being at work for twelve hours. It just seems sometimes that the goverment no longer works for the people, instead it just works for the goverment.
Any problem that comes along can only be solved by creating another branch of the goverment to deal with it.
It raises taxes to pay for the subsidies on the incomes of the people who can't afford to live on their income because their taxes are too high. It robs the rich to give to the poor and defines the rich as 90% of the population.
Meanwhile I know hardworking people who would have a higher income if they stopped working and started receiving welfare checks. (So long as they match the racial profile of the people who vote for the welfare supporters, you understand. We couldn't have racial equality in the eyes of the law, that wouldn't be fair.)
I know I've gone off topic a bit here (and ranted), but something has to be done about the current governmental trend, and I just don't know what.
Commas should only be used when you take a small breath, while periods are used when you take a deeper breath. Or at least that is what I was told to believe. I grew up doing that to the point that your sentence makes me hyperventilate.
While spheres have the lowest surface area to volume ratio, cubes are far easier to store and link.

The DS does use its own implementation of a standard wireless system which doesn't include TCP/IP. However it is possible to encapsulate the received wireless packets in an IP packet and route it to another computer where it can be retransmitted to another DS.
Switch to an insurance provider that doesn't. So long as the goverment doesn't get into the insurance industry (medicaid cough cough) things will work out.

Interesting huh.
The vast majority of deaths by firearms are for suicides at 59%. Gun crimes across the board falling.

The last obfuscated perl contest created a void of reason so large that it caused George Lucas to develop the character Jar-Jar Binks.
