Another attack on a police station by a mentally sick youth sparks many thoughts. He brought seven weapons from home, carjacked a ride to erase 1 life and the jury is still out whether the 2nd police man will survive. They found even more weapons lying all over the house. I know the NRA and gun rights advocates will argue the constitutional right to bear arms. I can even hear the argument that people kill not the gun. But I see it similar to is a drunk kills someone when he drives home .. the bartender can be liable for serving the drink to him. If a child does something when he is a minor ... the parent can be held liable. So in this case a parent that leaves a house full of weapons laying about knowing they have a mentally disturbed child fresh from a facility .. they are liable. Yes the parents have the right to bear arms and have them for defense but they also have a requirement to maintain the weapons in a secure and safe manner. In my thoughts the parents should be charged as an accessory or even as negligent. It is time to get this problem under control. If you want to express your constitutional right .. go ahead and get as many weapons as you like ... but also understand you are required to be responsible for the security of them.

Well, I see Venezuela is conducting a war of resistance against United States oil interests. Gee, how quickly they forget all the aid when things go wrong. If they want to use oil to hold us hostage then we counter by removing all their aid and see who collapses first.

The United States needs to quit being Mr. Nice Guy and expect something in return when we come to their aid when their policies and actions create a massive problem. There is a big difference between Charity and being taken advantage of. Wake up George Bush and do what is right and don't let the flag be trampled on.
