White House Fires Back at Ruling Declaring Obama's Health Care Law Unconstitutional, Calls Decision "Judicial Activism"
The White House officials said that the ruling would not have an impact on implementation of the law, which is being phased in gradually. They said that states cannot use the ruling as a basis to delay implementation in part because the ruling does not rest on "anything like a conventional Constitutional analysis."

Security Scanner Blamed For Woman's Death

Security scanner blamed for woman's death
Sources blamed her death on the border scanning machine, described as a "U.S.-made advanced portal using millimeter wave holographic technology to screen passengers for weapons and explosives."

Maybe it was a rare occurrence, but that is precisely the point of the public health experts who point out that using the scanners as primary screening means that very rare incidences will occur because of the large volume of people screened.

Why the Gun is Civilization - An Armed Society is a Polite Society.

why the gun is civilization.
By Marko Kloos

Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
