Roseto, Pennsylvania, became the source of scientific study when it became known that they had the lowest number of heart attacks in the nation, and then as they dug deeper they learned that Roseto also had zero crime. The answer was that Roseto had a population of Italian-Americans who were all good neighbors and they worked together and they ate together, and they had a good community, and their good sense of community was the reason why they were healthier and had less crime. And in Italy, they are healthier and have less crime, the Italians brought their culture to Roseto, Pennsylvania, and the residents all lived longer and had less crime.

Read about "The Roseto Effect."

I guess NPR can get some of the news reported  correctly.

Want to know why Gaza is in rubble?
Want to know why Israel is going after every last Hamas terrorist and their supporters in Gaza?
Want to know why Israel is determined to free all the hostages, to free them alive or free them from the continual rape and torture they're suffering?

Watch "Screams Before Silence" - Sheryl Sanberg.
On Youtube.

Oct 7 in detail, eyewitnesses, victims, Hamas videos.

Blessed are the peacemakers. Certainly there must be justice, but not just continuous murder. Bring in Father Boyle from Homeboy Industries and let him give his point of view on the conflict in the Middle East.

And send the refugees from the Middle East to the forest of Canada to the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia.

For those in the USA, land in Battle Mountain, Nevada, is the best deal in the USA on land for $1,000 per acre, and it is good land where people can have families, and the schools are good, etc. They can raise pigs and they can sell pork to China Town in San Francisco. And they can have libraries, and tennis courts, and swimming pools, etc.

And we need to make our immigrants legal like Reagan did so that they can join labor unions, and so they can call the police in the case of an emergency.

Of note, Newsom lowered taxes for film and television producers in California, so that is cool, we will have lots more jobs. And Paramount is for sale, would love to see Mel Gibson, Arnold, Sly, and those guys buy Paramount, with the help of Manny Pacquiao and wealthy people from the Philippines. And Disney is spending billions in Anaheim, and they are investing in Hollywood Blvd, etc.

On the issue of Russia, Biden needs to go spend an evening at the Russian Tea Room in New York City at Central Park and let them teach him and he needs to learn. Also, NASA can help, and the New York Ballet can help, and the Actor's Studio can help, etc. And we need to elevate the great people while we send Putin to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

On the issue of Cuba, it is time to lift the Embargo, it is time for normal relations with Cuba. Biden needs to lift the Embargo on Cuba.

On the issue of Iran, people need to think about what a good Iran would look like, people need to think about how the future can be, if you could make anything happen then how would you save Iran and give them all good human rights, etc?

And I support the United Nations. And UNICEF. And Kiwanis International. And the Peace Corps.

Salute,

Tony V.

Guns are great.
Great for killing Hamas-ilk terrorists coming to invade your home, murder you and rape/mutilate/torture your children to death or kidnap them.
All shown in "Screams Before Silence".
If only the lovely families and children had been armed with AR15s and handguns, they could've saved themselves from the horrors inflicted on them.
Also a Glock 19 pistol-rifle that can hold 3 magazines, 62 rounds.

If only those at the festival-party had been armed, instead of being sitting ducks.
All families in America should be armed to the max, all family members capable should be armed and ready to shoot terrorists/ home invaders at a moment's notice.

If only Netanyahu had cut off funding to Hamas.
If only the military had not ignored the female intelligence officer who warned of the attack
Of only the Queen had balls she would be king

No excuses can be made for Hamas terrorists and their supporters in Gaza and elsewhere.
None.

Mistakes are being fixed.
Will you be able to defend yourself when the evil terrorists invade your home?

Here's a suggestion.  Why don't you use the word "necessary"   instead of "great"?    It's hard to believe that anybody, even an uncaring, terrified coward, would use the word "great" to describe a tool responsible for so many needless deaths as "great".

So, if you really believe that a gun would prevent death at the hands of "evil terrorists" (an event far more statistically unlikely than the weapon being used to kill somebody accidentally) by all means you should have one, even a an illegal one (wouldn't you rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6?).   I'll just wonder if you'll continue to call it "great" when used for other means than killing evil terrorists.

 Pity the 2 Aussie surfers and their American friend allegedly shot in their heads and dumped down a 15metre well in Mexico by thieving, car jacking killers hadn't been carrying guns ready to fire at a moment's notice, they'd likely still be alive today.
Ditto a 4th deceased person found in the well with them, a rancher missing for a few weeks. He could still be alive too

Certainly there must be justice, but not just continuous murder.


This morning, Tony V nailed it in one sentence.

Too bad skeet surfing never took off.

It is the American's fault for hanging out with Aussies.

Not sure where to put this, but my MSN homepage news feed has a link for "15 Legendary Figures Who Were Actually Terrible People". The photo for the link is... Adolph Hitler.

Blend squirrel, acorn.

That is supposed to be blind, but frankly that typo cracks me up and I am leaving it in.
