Top ten "killers" in the United States

Let’s see here, between tobacco and alcohol, there are 636,000 deaths per year, or 55 times as many as with firearms.

Motor vehicles are 3 times as many as firearms.

Seems to me we need to have special licenses for smokes and booze, with classes required, and background checks. That should occur at least every year, with immediate revocation upon the occurrence of any incident. Cars licenses could be re-issued after re-testing every 18 months, with the same revocation policy.

Many municipalities/States currently have laws on the books against making available through negligence or by intent, items with which children can harm themselves or others. Here in Nebraska little time passes without reading of charges being filed against parents/other adults for those reasons.

This data comes from our Federal Govt - the FBI and Center for Disease Control.

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" He replied, "They had eggs."

Earth's wobble causes global warming

As the carbon dioxide management bill - aka cap and trade - looms in Congress, a new study from Oregon State University emerges that ends the scientific debate on the central causes of ice ages and warming periods on Earth. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is fond of saying that the scientific debate on global warming is over - and while he may now be correct in the fact that a debate has come to an end, the central cause behind climate change does not support the carbon cap legislation that is being cobbled together by Mr. Gore and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Congress.
