I find all of the arguments in this book faultless Except for the one regarding Gun Control- While not as eloquently put as Mr. Mills, I believe that private ownership of guns is necessary for the preservation of democracy. Think about it, the only people who would be allowed to carry guns would be soldiers and police officers (agents of the government). Also, if one criminal manages to smuggle in one automatic weapon (improbable huh?), he can go on a merciless killing spree virtually unopposed! The main reason for gun control laws are to reduce homicide rates, but when you consider how frail and easily killed humans are then you realize that gun killings will go exponentially down but killings with bladed weapons will rise just as fast! While I often disagree with much of what the conservative right believes in, I wholeheartedly believe that "it is not the gun that kills a man, but it is the person behind it" (or something like that)

I particularly like the William Penn quote: "No man is fit to command another that cannot command himself"

time to bust out the old dictionary..

I don't know about most of that other stuff, but Ethanol and Clean Coal have been shown to have a negligible effect on carbon emissions. It'd be much better to invest solely in solar, wind, nuclear, etc.. source: http://www.greens.org/s-r/44/44-05.html http://www.businessweek.com/technolog... http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/...

Excuse me, but the left half of a lot of the words in this document appear to be missing, I don't know if it is a problem with this document or my computer though.
