Listen to law enforcement

Securing your home is about one thing: never leave a potential point of entry without any kind of hindrance to an intruder. It is impossible to make your home 100% secure, meaning someone with enough determination will find a way to break in and cause some mayhem, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get very [...]

Marriage was redefined long ago

In all of this talk about gay marriage, one thing I think a lot of the anti gay-marriage side seem to keep forgetting is simply this: the moment the citizens of the various States allowed their State governments to require a license to be married, they lost all claim to the word marriage and any [...]

Stopped by police while carrying

The Internet is alight with discussion of a police stop involving a person with a concealed carry permit and a weapon on his person. Everyone is, of course, deriding and attacking the cop without once considering that things could have come out differently.

Punishing the innocent

Had I had any inkling of what would’ve occurred later in the week, I would not have posted my previous article. That isn’t the first time I’ve had interesting timing on posting articles, and thankfully it is the only time where that timing coincided with people losing their lives. And predictably in the aftermath, there [...]

Cry, the Beloved Constitution: A rebuttal

When reading of the New York Times discussing the Constitution of the United States, I often expect that they will, in many ways, get it wrong. And thankfully a recent op-ed authored by J. Harvie Wilkinson, III, proved to be no disappointment. What is mildly disappointing, however, is that Wilkinson is a judge. Not just [...]

The jury

It’s not often that I respond to a comment with a separate blog post. I’ve done it only a few times here. What prompts it is when I think that merely a comment in reply would be insufficient. So here I find myself revisiting Casey Anthony once again to respond to this comment on my [...]

There’s even a website called OverturnTheVerdict.com, which allows you to sign a petition regarding Caylee Anthony: We the undersigned demand justice in the murder of little Caylee Anthony. It is our belief that Casey Anthony should be found [...]
