Don't let your children be victims of the ''Culture of Sheep''

12:10am Tuesday, May 22, 2007

By Tim Inwood Earlier in May I recounted a story from my youth in “Time for the sun to set on the Culture of Sheep” , where I complained of having been punished for defending myself. When it comes to the “Culture of Sheep”, I had barely scratched the surface in my disdain for what it has done to my country. My desire to examine and discuss how to undermine this national disease of indoctrinated...

Yet another op-ed writer fantasizes gun control could prevent massacre

12:05am Tuesday, May 22, 2007

12:10am Monday, May 21, 2007

Which came first - the gun violence or the gun control?

12:15am Friday, May 18, 2007

By Chad D. Baus If ever there was a headline that made me do a double-take, it was a recent Associated Press article entitled "Mass shootings more common since 1960s" . The thesis of the article, written in the days following Seung-Hui Cho's sick massacre of his fellow college students, is to ask "What is it about modern-day America that provokes such random violence?"

LTE: Properly trained people can use guns in self-defense

12:10am Friday, May 18, 2007

It wasn't quite at the level of Toledo Blade editorial board member Dan Simpson's tirade against the Constitution , but an April 30 editorial by Springfield (OH) News Sun editorial page editor Tom Hawkins entitled "More guns not the answer to violence" got pretty close . I don't want to take away your deer rifle, your shotgun or even your .357, but I do want to take away a silly argument the far-...
