THE MYTH OF GUN CONTROL
I am now of the opinion that a compelling case for stricter gun laws can not
be made.
- James Wright –
James Wright was a staunch anti-gun advocate. In the late sixties, he
received Justice Department funding to study the effectiveness of gun laws
on the incident of violent crimes. Wright hoped the study would support his
anti-gun philosophies. This was not to be the case. Instead, he found that all
forms of gun control were ineffective at reducing the incidents of violent crime.

THE TOILET'S MEOWING!
My wife always made a point to introduce new visitors to each of our
cherished pets. With each introduction, she provided a brief history of the
animal and how it was named. That is until she introduced Draino, our
Siamese cat. Here, she would pause and wait for the obvious question.
“Draino? How on earth did he get a name like that?”
With a broad smile, she would then tell them story of the toilet that meowed.

A LESSON WELL LEARNED
All to often it takes a major disaster for a community to develop an efficient
emergency management program. Unfortunately, this was the case in Southern
Gila and Pinal Counties, Ariz. Perhaps their lesson can benefit others.
From 1983 through 1984, this area was devastated be a series of disasters. The
first, a large-area range fire, burned more than 100 square miles of Pinal County,
with dozens of homes and businesses in the area. Firefighters, law enforcement
officers from six agencies, and area volunteers responded to the fire.
