Most of Scandinavia has a zero tolerance policy towards regular citizens carrying guns and rifles.
Average number of deaths by firearms per year in Norway: 219 (44 per 1 million) Average number of deaths by firearms per year in Sweden: 189 (23 per 1 million) Average number of deaths by firearms per year in Denmark: 143 (26 per 1 million) I lived in Sweden for a decade and only saw ONE instance where the police needed to be armed in apprehending a criminal. I lived in the second largest city in the country and there was so little crime, the police officers were not armed. In the USA, regular citizens, if licensed, are allowed to carry guns and rifles. Average number of deaths by firearms per year in the USA: 46,664 (152 per one million) I am not against carrying firearms; as a matter of fact, I used to be a card carrying member of the NRA. But Americans have a more violent mindset than Scandinavians. This was ONE psychotic, lone gunman in Norway. A very rare occurrence. |

We starve-look At one another Short of breath Walking proudly in our winter coats Wearing smells from laboratories Facing a dying nation Of moving paper fantasy Listening for the new told lies With supreme visions of lonely tunes Somewhere Inside something there is a rush of Greatness Who knows what stands in front of Our lives I fashion my future on films in space Silence Tells me secretly Everything Everything |

Linux 3.0 Release
|
|
Version 3.0 brings some noteworthy improvements for Btrfs, the next-generation Linux filesystem. It has gained basic support for scrubbing and an automatic defragmentation mechanism that can operate while the filesystem is in use. Another interesting change is the introduction of a just-in-time compiler that has been developed for the Berkeley Packet Filter system. In addition to these enhancements, there are a number of minor improvements throughout the kernel. For more details about the release, you can refer to the release report at the Kernel Newbies website. Love my Linux and I can't wait to try the new stable version. I could really use the auto defrag ... I keep forgetting to do it manually. DUH |

Now how can it be that a love carved out of caring, fashioned by fate could suffer so hard From the games played once too often? But making mistakes is a part of lifes imperfection Born of the years. Is it so wrong to be human after all? |

Sweet dreams. Satin strands of reddish gold Against her milky white skin, As she lays silently next to me Her breath, slow and steady. She murmurs And smiles contentedly As I hang the curls gently Around her ears. I whisper, "I love you." "'uv you" she echos, still smiling. And for just that one heartbeat She knows who I am. And I know She really does love me. The delicate lids flutter, Then close. All is well. |

Who Will Go?

Reading Revelation six
the horsemen of apocalypse the time of sorrows for those who remain. A stirring comes from deep inside the tears spill from my weary eyes; so little time we're left here to explain. Walking all around I see the tallest of majestic trees, which speak of permanence, long life and peace. But soon will they be standing, charred gutted by man's nuclear war and I cry for there will be no hiding place. I hold my children closer now, at the same time knowing how Rachel will cry out for her own soon. Who will warn them what's in store, all that they will answer for? I see the fields; but what can one soul do? I feel the Spirit stir in me I hear, "I will enable thee, look before you, only see G-d's son." Focusing upon the Lord I inhale deep, pick up my sword step out in faith, Messiah's will be done. Although my heart is heavy still Elohim promises He will Rebuild for us a brighter, better place So I continue to the goal, with those He chose to send to me until the time when I can see His face. |

What is Faith?

... I believe we are a sum total of our experiences and what our mind and body and spirit endure and retain and learn along the way,,,,so that even when there is no physical or tangible 'proof' of something , there is a collection of data and experience we each have which make us have strong convictions about how 'likely' something is ... This explains the kind of 'faith' I have in the bible and in God and the lessons laid before me by both. I cant prove it , but it doesnt mean it cant or wont ever be proven. IF I am delusional for believing this book without being able to 'prove' it, I must likewise be delusional for believing my dad is my dad without having had 'proof'. What things do you have 'faith' in? Not because you are too delusional to require 'proof' but because your personal experiences and 'conviviction' have proven them to you? I have this kind of faith in the Bible, in G-d and Yeshua. I have faith in myself because I have faced many hard times and I can honestly say I did what I could with what I had. I am convicted that there is someone out there for me, I just haven't found him. I have faith that no matter how bad things may look at any given time, it will work out for the best. |

Will this heat wave EVER end? Will my ankle ever heal? Will I ever find a steady job? Someone to love me? A good school for my little girl? (A lot on my mind these days.) |
