Re: [newbie] NEW EMAIL LIST INSTRUCTIONS
Some trap loseryour inability to string together a single thought is frightening. John R. Lott of the American Enterprise Institute. That's a real lefty org. Get your head out of your ass. I'm well aware of his good works as a neo fascist. John R. Lott, Jr. teaches criminal deterrence and law and economics at the University of Chicago Law School, where he is the John M. Olin Visiting Law and Economics Fellow. He was the chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission during 1988 and 1989. He has published over 70 articles in academic journals. Yeah he's a lefty all right, law and order and big money...you are an absolute idiot. I'm amazed that you're allowed to operate a motor vehicle. If he were any more right he'd have to wear a swastika by law. You aren't allowed to drive are you?

Brant, We of the facts and figures would like for it to be that way, but they can't win by doing that, since the evidence is not on their side. Therefore they will not take it like you mean it, and will run away from the core arguments. Some URL like that maybe? Not some racists book... Are you kidding me? How can you apply logic so well when it comes to computers but totally fail when it comes to the real world? Are you implying that every single individual that has been associated with Lott's publisher is by that mere association a racist? Brant, he doesn't know who John R Lott is. In fact none of them on the wrong side of the issue do, and none of them are studied on the subject. (which is why they are on the wrong side of the issue to begin with.) He has John R. Lott confused with Senator Trent Lott in the Congress of the United States, who recently had a run-in with the black caucus over a poorly worded statement at a party, and was subsequently dubbed a racist. John R. Lott has never had any such similar circumstances even remotely associated with him. You see, there's not a clue to be found here. If there was, and if they were educated enough, they would realize that Lott was an example set as a trap for them; as was Tammy Bruce. Both traps worked out excellently, btw. In the case of John R. Lott, he is a former leftist that set out to prove that firearms were a danger to the populace. His intent was to find facts, figures and statistics that would finally, once and for all, put to the sword the idea of the right to own firearms and the relevance of that to survival and self defense. Instead, he found by examination of the actual data that the opposite was true: the Bill of Rights was vindicated by the data, as were the guns rights advocates. What the guns rights advocates had been saying all along was right. And that is what he discovered. Being an honest man, he changed his stance and printed the truth. So their ideology is damned by one of their own. Now he stands accused by the ignorant as a racist, by those who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about or even *who* they are supposed to be talking about. I fully expected them to fall into the trap of accusing John of being a right winger; the racist stuff was merely an extra bonus. The reason why these dogs get outlawed here is exactly the same as why guns are restricted: _look_ at them. I don't want those fucked up people who own a Pit Bull have one. As I don't want those brain-dead alcoholic gun-crazy redneck to have one. You totally missed the point. I apologize for not making it clearer. No need to apologize, the point is being danced around because your demonstration of the failure of their reasoning is close at hand. To me it looks to be merely a delaying tactic on their part.
