Scary thought...
"He pledged to "manage the transition well" for whoever wins the election, but doesn't plan to go gently into lame-duckdom. ... would work on several legislative matters still pending before Congress -- an agenda that would keep him busy until he leaves office Jan. 20.
"Some people thought I was a lame duck in '95," Clinton said. "I'll just keep quacking. I've got another 10 weeks to quack."" |

"Canada's low-key election race roared into life on Monday when Prime Minister Jean Chretien claimed that a vote for the main opposition party on Nov. 27 could leave the low-crime country awash with firearms."
"Day says that if he wins the election he will scrap the gun control law, which was enacted after a lone gunman killed 14 young women in a Montreal school in 1989."

That makes it pretty easy for (smart) gun owners to vote. |

"The fake gun carried as part of a Halloween costume by an actor who was shot to death by police should never have left the movie lot."
"Aspiring actor Anthony Dwain Lee was shot to death at a Halloween party when police thought the black rubber gun he was brandishing was real."

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
