Please tell me where you get these false statistics? Violent crime has always gone down significantly in places that put concealed carry laws in place, but even more in places that crack down on crimes being committed with a gun.

Hmm...so far I've been doing it like this: If I disagreed with a comment's position, I cited it as a bad comment. But if its position wasn't stated 'offensively' (by my standards), I marked it civil. If it was idiotic, bigoted babble, I marked it bad AND uncivil. Generally, I try to evaluate each comment on its own ...

Kudos for American Airlines for taking swift action. Alaska Airlines also had a pilot that tested over the limit less than six months ago. Perhaps it's time for all airlines to subject their pilots with a before and after breathalyzer test at the end of their flight schedules. This type of pilot behavior is unequiva...

Well that's great if you want to accept a "BIASED WRITER'S OPINION." But if Charles expects to get any respect he needs to write his stories with an even-handed treatment of all the parties involved, rather than this story where he lays native problems at his so-called unfair treatment by whites.

I guess you have not been to many sessions of any legislature, either in Alaska, or other states, or the Federal Congress.

Your comment sounds like the accused should be expected to solve the crime in order to prove their innocence. Perhaps you didn't realize how ridiculous that sounds?
