Why don't other countries bother with a 2nd Amendment? Why isn't a gun a human right in the broader world?

BP is handling this situation horribly. I agree with you there. I am not, however, interested in always paying for company mess ups.

Bailouts, this, where does it end? You realize that by "the federal government taking over" that its forcing tax payers to clean up yet another mess made by a private business? No thanks.

Its their problem.

BP has all of the world's experts working on it. Gov't reps have even said they can't do any better than BP and they are giving it the best effort anybody can. It's a frustrating situation but the best people are working on it.

You don't need to turn to the gov't to save the world every day.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
