Right to Bear Arms

Let us consider the Second Amendment.

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

I support the second amendment. I also support greater regulation for gun ownership. I would like to walk through a city at night without having a 9mm pointed at my head. Keep dreaming. I know.

However, my reasoning is this. There are regulations/fees to owning and operating a vehicle. The regulations should just as be stringent to owning a weapon for every state. Do not let a mentally unstable individual own a gun.

Right to Bear Arms is great, but right to be alive is more important. Respect the gun. It is not a toy or a video game component.

Santorum's Shocking Comments

Here's some of my favorite quotes from Santorum.

1. Going to College is for snobs. Santorum himself went to Penn State.

"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob!"

2. Santorum's thoughts on rape. Keep the rape child.

"I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you. As you know, we have to, in lots of different aspects of our life. We have horrible things happen. I can’t think of anything more horrible. But, nevertheless, we have to make the best out of a bad situation."

3. Santorum's views on climate change.

“CO2 is a pollutant? Tell that to the plants.”

Black Friday Sales

Black Friday sales always draws a roaring crowd the day after Thanksgiving.
However, shoppers can expect to see more stores offering a plethora of deals earlier than usual this year. Retailers have been struggling since the downturn and are trying to encourage people to spend more.

Sears is launching off their "Black Friday Now" doorbuster sales Friday with tempting deals on electronics.

Amazon.com started offering holiday deals in it's electronics section on Friday. For example, buy two video games, get one free.

Even Home Depot is rumored to jump on the bandwagon with their washer/ dryer deals.

When the economy was still strong three years ago shoppers naturally spent more.
Each holiday shopper spent an average of $750 in 2007. When the economic crisis hit, holiday sales plummeted.

Now, retailers hope sales will rebound with their agressive approach. Other retailers even unveiled Christmas bargains.
