California Senator Diane Feinstein told Meet the Press over the weekend that she will introduce legislation on the first day of Congress next year to ban “the sale, transfer and possession of assault weapons, along with the [possession] of high-capacity magazines."
COMMENTS:
Where is the cry for investigating and resolving the
sickness that is permeating our society and creating the mental atmosphere that
encourages mass murder? Somewhere in
this barrage of insanity about gun control, I also heard someone suggest that
it should be made easier for relatives and authorities to send people to “nut
houses.” Let me tell you, insane asylums
have become prisoners for many sane people as a means for shutting them up and
getting them out of the way. Neither one
of these “solutions” is valid. The only
valid solution is to pin down the causes, not the symptoms.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Why is Obama being so smug about Iran’s growing nuclear
threat? (Vincent ~ La Crescenta, CA)
A. Perhaps it has to do with a new, top secret weapon. The military has developed an unmanned drone
capable of sending out very strong electronic impulses that will fry all
electronic devices on the ground. The
weapon has been designed by Boeing and is undergoing testing. It supposedly
will penetrate underground bunkers and all radar so it can be flown to a target
without discovery. The initial unit
costs $38 million. My ex-wife could
throw a plate just as fast, just as deadly and for far less money.
Q. The Russians are fighting fracking, but not for
environmental reasons as I understand it.
Wouldn’t they want fracking to increase their energy supplies? (Anh ~ Melrose Park, CA)
A. I don’t know why, but every time I hear that word, I
think of the Mustang Ranch in Nevada. Russia
wants Poland and other nearby countries to be dependent on it for their oil
supplies. When Poland initiated plans to
start fracking, Putin authorized stepped-up production of oil in Siberia,
thereby dropping the prices and making fracking economically unfeasible. When the Ukraine started fracking, Russia cut
off its natural gas supply.
Q. I was reading that scientists are close to being able to
explain Biblical events and miracles.
Isn’t this blasphemy? (Prentice ~
Puyallup, WA)
A. Look at it this way: they say that a strong wind pushed
away about five feet of water in the Red Sea and allowed Moses to lead the
Israelites to safety. Well, how did
Moses know when the parting would occur, that the whole path was clear and that
it would stay clear while they escaped? I
think they are being a little glib in their attempts to prove that God and
Jesus do not exist. Those of us who
would give credence to these new explanations need to sit down and pray for
forgiveness.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“We are the miracle of force and matter
making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force
experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted
itself alive. We are one of the shouts.” ~ Ray Bradbury
