- Gun Control - Another Tragedy Gun Control Editor, Times-Union: "This year will go down in history.For the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration.Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future." Adolph Hitler - 1935 "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms.History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their downfall by so doing." Adolph Hitler "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe.The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed.

Terror Has Changed All Of Us

As we roll up on the one-month anniversary of Sept.11, one thing has become apparent to me: Those people - me included - who said that the nation would be changed are all masters of understatement. I think the nation has changed more than anyone imagined. The more I think about it, the more I absorb my surroundings, the more I realize that we have just lived through a national paradigm shift. A paradigm shift occurs when you think you have a clear understanding of something and then suddenly find out you are dead wrong. It changes the way you view things. And, my, how our view has changed. The world was a far different place when we said "good night" on Sept.11 than it was when we said "sweet dreams" on Sept.10. Many people think of their lives in terms of milestones.Like when you're a kid and you realize the truth about Santa Claus. Like when you graduate from high school or from college. Like when you marry and have a child.

W's Hawkish Policy Raises Concerns

It is really difficult for me, generally a supporter of W, to discuss some of his administration's policies without squirming in my chair. And now with the North Koreans plumbing their mothballed reactor with fresh nuclear rods and throwing out the international inspectors, it's getting even worse. It's like a return to the Cold War or something.Not exactly what the world needs right now. But I know why North Korea is doing that.They're playing a little one-upmanship game with us because of the whole Iraq situation.And they're probably not really fond of the recently approved Missile Defense System, either.Not to mention our research into Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator missiles. And then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld tells the world that the U.S.is perfectly capable of carrying on a war against Iraq and North Korea at the same time if need be.
