    a better analagy would be wrecking on a motorcycle. what is the liklihood of getting in accident with a motorcycle if you have one verses if you don't.

    Another day, another child shot in school.

    If only things were logical and the NRA shrunk every time there was a shooting.

    not just one shooting

    By Erin McClam, Staff Writer, NBC News

    Alabama hostage

    The Alabama boy held captive for three days in an underground bunker has the medicine he needs, plus crayons, coloring books and even television to keep him calm. But authorities still could not say Thursday when he might be freed.

    Authorities canceled a news briefing Thursday evening, saying there was nothing new to report. Hostage negotiators were still talking to the boy's captor through a lengthy PVC pipe, but there was no sign of progress, and a police chief told Alabama media that the man has been known to stay in the bunker as long as eight days.

    Which speaks not to Hayduke's point, as usual. Anyhow, I guess the latent pedophilia/phobia that drives gun nuts has gone to a new level of crazy with the kid held hostage by a bitter clinger in Alabama.
