I have come to the conclusion that you are firmly entrenched in your leftward beliefs and can not possibly let logic rule how you think. As for the Second Amendment, I don't care how you think it reads. Anyone with a decent grasp of the English language can read it without difficulty. The right of the PEOPLE. I am part of the militia (technically so are you) but I spent 24 years there and have some idea about how it works and why the Amendment exists.
As for firearms killing people remember that more people die from abortions than from gunshots.
As for social security. Perhaps you were not in tune when I said that part of our money should go to pay for people who could not afford their own. I firmly believe that if SS is designed for my retirement I should have a say in how it is invested. BTW, drug companies charge so much and health insurance is so out of control because your lefty lawyer buddies are suing the hell out of everyone for every little problem. 19 out of every 20 dollars goes for litigation! The government is not obligated to pay for your health insurance. The taxpayer is not obligated to pay for anything for you. What next? Everyone has a God given right to high speed internet so the feds will choke up our money for that. And by the way, there are not homeless people dropping dead all over the place.
As for pollution. Dr. Broadhearst at NASA says the hole in the ozone layer gets smaller and bigger depending on the season. SInce ozone is formed by super heated oxygen, this makes sense.
The temperature has not risen more than a degree in the last 100 years. This greenhouse effect is playing hell with my winters. I had to dig out of a bunch of greenhouse snow last year.
For anyone else who reads this, go to my site to read what I actually wrote. I do not want you to try to form an opinion from watered down snippets designed to bias your opinion.

The temperature has in fact risen a little more than a degree. Of course it isn’t going to effect places like the United States just yet. We still have mild seasons in most places. Forget about the ozone layer. Refute global warming to the people up North who are experiencing the changes first hand. They have some pretty quirky things happening to them. These people have roads built on permafrost that are no longer passable. They have decreased ice-fishing seasons as well. You might first give them a name or two in their languages for bees and caribou, and all the other creatures that are venturing into their neck of the woods for the first time ever. Words for these creatures do not exist in their languages yet and they find it amusing when they run into one. No joke.

There are not homeless people dropping dead all over the place? Every winter in America means the end of hundreds and hundreds of Americans we call homeless. Exposure ends their life. We treat our homeless brutally in America. I live in Little Rock where, at the site of the new Clinton Library, homeless people were rounded up and sent out of town, as if they were just garbage messing up the place. You know, much like they do regularly in D.C.? It’s not even worth arguing about frankly but I’ll gladly discuss this in length later.

Statistics? no one can post a copy of the second amendment to prove one or the other what it says? i think that's a pretty cut-and-dry argument myself. Of course, I think every citizen should have the right to own a gun, and i think every one should. How else to protect ourselves from our government? We could always solve the problem some other way.. i'd be in favor of an implant in all polatitions, so when they lie, we can vote, and have them killed. But maybe that's another story..
It seems it would be wise to suspect the government of all wrongdoing. But then, i also think i wouldn't mind paying another few percent or more for taxes, if it meant i had health care, and maybe they could repave the roads while they were at it.
I think the most important thing, and probly the least likely of happening, would be to revamp the whole system so we don't lose so much money. I don't know of any statistcs on the numbers.. but i know that when i go into any government funded office (fully funded i guess, the University is not like this), i can see myself where money is being wasted right and left. I have a feeling we lose a very large percentage of what we already pay in.. but i'm not in any way aposed to raising taxes. Why not? if we do better with higher taxes, why not raise them? I can afford to pay them, and i'm at the bottom of the welthy-ladder.
