While I understand that idea philosophically, in reality, in 2012, that’s not a practical deterrent. ” In 1973, there were guns in roughly one in two households in the United States; in 2010, one in three. In 1980, nearly one in three Americans owned a gun; in 2010, that figure had dropped to one in five.” I think against the most powerful and technologically advanced armies in the world, the fact that we have a well established democratic republic is much more a deterrent than the disappearing guns.

Now, I’m just arguing against that argument of guns as a deterrent, and not the 2nd Amendment in general.

hey im with you on polution, its bad and should be reduced at all costs, but do you know how much the earth has suposedly warmed? since 1820 1.5. now have you ever heard of significant figures, used in scientific measurements? basicy you can only measure to the smallest degree your instrament reads out. in 1820 there was obviously no digital readouts, meaning all measurments were done by eyeballing it. you think any instraments could actualy measure to 1/10 a degree let alone that 1 degree acuratly?

um for the writer of this critique on glenn beck, i have yet to read the book and you may be right on all of this. you are however wrong when attacking the idea tha “americans are right to stock pile guns… even though we will not use them” the decleration says that the population should overthrow tyranical government. this cannot be done with out guns. stockpiling guns is a deterent.

[...] Here’s Newt Gingrich and Glenn Beck arguing for the largest exercise of eminent domain in American history: the government should “take” all of Lower Manhattan, and make it a battlefield memorial! While this would legitimize part of the Bush administration’s conception of the extent of war powers — the homeland is a battlefield for purposes of detention, but not when construing bans on torture — I thought national parks were a hallmark of socialism?

You know people are always talking about global warming not existing and it being a liberal agenda for personal. First of all that is the most absurd idea I have ever heard. That’s like if a political party starting pushing the idea that children should be vaccinated against viruses etc. and some scumbag started stating that they were just trying to make a buck. I think we can all agree that the world as a whole is an ecosystem. That ecosystem is affected by everything put into it since the the development of machines which produce exhaust and coal plants that produce harmful chemicals,and the million other processes that release harmful chemicals into the atmosphere we have been releasing an unmitigated and incaculable amount of chemicals into the atmosphere. So now someone has suggested that since the earth has existed for millions of years there’s no way we could be negatively impacting the earth. Well did you know that there used to be river dolphins in the Xang xi river in China that probably evolved for thousands of years and now they are extinct? Are you aware that the commercial tuna industry is becoming heavily regulated because the ruthless scum that run have brought tuna to near extinction. Please don’t use the absurd, laughable rational that what we create in terms of pollution could never destroy this planet is such a short period of time because it’s so resilient. There’s a 100,000 cars heading down the road any hour of the night, there are people using electricity every second of any given day, multiply that by a hundred years and you would have some understanding of the potential impact. Oh yeah I do also acknowledge that cars were not widely owned or used in say 1901 but there were still factories and the amount of exhaust they allowed to release into the atmosphere was not regualted.
