How would $4-a-gallon gasoline affect you?Jack, When are people from the East coast going to stop thinking the world revolves around them? It's almost $4 a gallon now in California.
-Norm, Petaluma, CaliforniaJack, Wait until the Iranians get their hands on Iraqi oil and you will be filling up at $10 a gallon. My home is solar energy and I grow my own food on the farm. Therefore I don’t care how high it goes.
-JamesMy immediate reaction would be to attempt to reduce my driving. I lease an SUV and I would certainly not get another gas hog when this one is finished in 2008.
-Bill, Arlington, VirginiaWouldn't affect me at all. I walk and take public transit, so the price of gas can go through the roof for all I care. Maybe this is what it takes to get solo drivers out of their cars and onto public transit. But I doubt it.

Why would a town where every household is required to be armed have just two or three shooting deaths in 25 years?If every household has a gun, every "bad guy" must ask himself: Do you feel lucky?

Deterence! "Gun-free-zones" are only a sign post for criminals to know where they will encounter the least resistance from the public and security.

We have thousands of communities here in Canada that have had only 'one or two shootings' in twenty years. None of them require people to have guns. All of our campuses are gun free and none have had an incident on the scale of Virginia Tech. Don't draw causal connections where they do not exist.
-DavidIn the town you mentioned everybody knows that there are guns in the hands of the citizens. It would take a very stupid or crazy person to try to commit mass murder there.
