Odds 'n Sods:
"The Wrench Spinner" sent us the link to a British government
web site from "The
Respect Task Force".
Mike's comment: "How Orwellian can we get.?" My comment: The Brits
are incredibly naive to think that their bureaucratic system of ASBOs
will keep the yobs in check. Law and order is clearly breaking down
n England. Disarming the citizenry, and making self defense a crime
has been wholly counterproductive.

Michael
Z. Williamson pointed us to this
"report card" web page from The Brady Bunch on state firearms laws.
Note that California and New Jersey both have "A-" ratings, while
Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming all got "F" ratings. They may not have
intended
it, but these state report cards are a useful
tool
in deciding
on
retreat
locales.
Hint:
If you love your liberty, move to a state ranked "D" or "F" by the
gun grabbers. Mike's comment: "Indiana is only a D. I'll have to
work on that. We asked if they will correlate crime as well, but
I suspect they won't."

This news story was highlighted by Aljazeera: Venezuela
exits IMF and World Bank. Both the news itself and who featured it,
are noteworthy. Meanwhile: Venezuela
takes operations from big oil companies.
Moves like that don't go un-noticed in the international community.
Look for an economic and/or military showdown with Venezuela in the near
future.
