- To Dan re your membership in the militia:
Militia
"The unorganized militia shall consist of all able-bodied male residents of the state between the ages of seventeen and forty-five who are not serving in any force of the organized militia…who are…citizens…." 36 NY Consolidated Laws Art. I Military Law § 2 (2)
10 US Code §311 is similar:
"(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able bodied males at least 17 years…and under 45 years of age who are…citizens….
(b) The classes of the militia are-…
(c) ...the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or Naval Militia."
- further correction:
As was usual in California at the time, both Nixon and Voorhis cross-filed in the other party's primary, a practice Voorhis had long adopted. Winning both primaries virtually assured election. Each candidate won his own party's primary, with Voorhis garnering a considerable number of votes in the Republican primary, and outpolling Nixon by 7,000 votes overall. Nixon gained momentum, however, when the newspapers pointed out that Voorhis's total percentage of the vote had decreased from 60% in 1944 to 53.5%.[44]

- Correction, not the Primary but the General election:
Voorhis advocated the purchase by the Federal Government of the stock in the Federal Reserve Banks, which was held by the member banks, as a way of financing government expenditures and briefly got President Roosevelt to support the measure until the President's advisers caused Roosevelt to change his mind.[27] Voorhis later allied with future House Banking Committee chairman Wright Patman to force Federal Reserve Banks to pay most of the interest they earned on federal securities to the U.S. Government, rather than to the bank stockholders.[28] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Voorhis
- I heard that Nixon answered a want ad by Prescott Bush to primary
for the House of Representatives in 1946 against the last opponent of the Federal Reserve.
- To Joe from Nearby - Your Mother Jones article is wrong on mass shootings:
Mass shootings stopped - TheBlaze Jan. 11, 2013
False assertion: "never had a civilian stop a shooting”
...claim is easily debunked. In fact, TheBlaze has reported extensively on situations where law-abiding gun owners have exercised their Second Amendment right to neutralize a threat.
In December, 2012, Jesus Manuel Garcia opened fire at a movie theater in San Antonio, shooting and wounding an innocent 49-year-old man. An off-duty sergeant then fired four shots with her firearm, wounding the gunman and preventing any further injuries. In this case, the female who stopped the shooting was trained by law enforcement.
On Dec. 11, 2012, a man shot and killed two people in a mall in Clackamas, Ore. before taking his own life. Nick Meli, a concealed carry holder, told KGW NewsChannel 8 that the last shot he fired after seeing his concealed handgun was “used on himself.”
The Weekly Standard’s Mark Hemingway debunked this biased line of thinking. He writes: “There are a couple of major problems here with arguing that armed civilians don’t stop mass shootings. One is that when armed civilians are present, they often stop mass shootings before they can become mass shootings. One of the criteria Mother Jones used to define mass shootings is that ‘the shooter took the lives of at least four people.’”
Examples where armed civilians, were able to neutralize a lawless shooter:
– Winnemucca, Nev., 2008: Ernesto Villagomez opens fire in a crowded restaurant; concealed carry permit-holder shoots him dead. Total dead: Two. (I’m excluding the shooters’ deaths in these examples.)
– Appalachian School of Law, 2002: Crazed immigrant shoots the dean and a professor, then begins shooting students; as he goes for more ammunition, two armed students point their guns at him, allowing a third to tackle him. Total dead: Three.
– Santee, Calif., 2001: Student begins shooting his classmates — as well as the “trained campus supervisor”; an off-duty cop who happened to be bringing his daughter to school that day points his gun at the shooter, holding him until more police arrive. Total dead: Two.
– Pearl High School, Mississippi, 1997: After shooting several people at his high school, student heads for the junior high school; assistant principal Joel Myrick retrieves a .45 pistol from his car and points it at the gunman’s head, ending the murder spree. Total dead: Two.
– Edinboro, Pa., 1998: A student shoots up a junior high school dance being held at a restaurant; restaurant owner pulls out his shotgun and stops the gunman. Total dead: One.
In another example, 24-year-old Matthew Murray opened fire at a church in Colorado Springs in 2007. Volunteer security guard and church member Jeanne Assam returned fire and shot him several times. Wounded badly, Murray then took his own life. Two people were killed in the shooting.

"Smoking gun" First references in 1860's
- Fallacy: "a gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a family member than an intruder."
The "43 times" fallacy is based on a biased sample of subjects with extraordinary rates of arrest, drug abuse, and other dysfunction. One researcher noted Kellerman and his associates "acknowledged that a true risk-benefit consideration of guns in the home should (but did not in their 'calculations') include cases in which... "intruders are wounded or frightened away by the use or display of a firearm...."
Although even Kellerman eventually disavowed his original results, groups like North Carolinians Against Gun Violence continue to pummel his propaganda into the public consciousness.
- He's right about Racism & Gun Control
The Sullivan Law of 1911 had several things to going for it:
1. Sullivan represented a dock district, and many of his constituents were muggers. Sullivan was leader of a notorious Irish gang. Their criminal work was impeded by the fact that citizens were arming themselves before going to that bad neighborhood, thereby making robbery a dangerous business. Sullivan wanted to protect his criminal constituents from armed victims, and his law has made New York safe for robbers ever since.
2. Tammany wanted to disarm Italians and blacks. The law served the same racist purposes that gun control served in Dixie: to disarm disfavored races. That's why the pistol licensing agent has unbridled discretion to discriminate under the Sullivan Law.
3. Tammany Hall wanted to be able to arrest political opponents.
- "The world today has 6.8 billion people... that's headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent." Bill Gates
Vaccines & health care will reduce the population?!?!?!?
Is that why Federal law eliminated manufacturers' liability for their own vaccines?
- Flu and viral treatments:
Huge quantities of Vitamins D & C.
Slices of Ginger; Cinnamon; Zinc; drink fluids; colloidal silver.
Multivitamins. B-vitamins. Honey.
Epazote - various sources including: TheTeaOfLife.com
Don't take iron. Anemia helps kill viruses. The body defends itself against viruses by becoming anemic.
AIRBORN tm - fizzzy tabs of C, Zinc, & herbs. Despite the FDA's disapproval, I've felt AIRBORN cure my colds! I don't sell them, so I can say anything I want about AIRBORN. See Amendment 1, Bill of Rights. Store brands are similar, but not as tasty. AIRBORN is worth the extra $1 to me.
Keep warm. High fevers kill viruses. Don't take fever-suppressants, unless your fever is life-threatening >104 F, at which point you may want a Doctor.
Steam room, or Sauna, or hot bath.
I've bundled-up and exercised to overheat, followed by a nap in a sun-heated car. The cold was gone when I awoke.
But avoid not-awakening, and thereby dying of hyperthermia (getting too hot).
If you plan to overheat and sleep, have a conscious person monitor you. Hyperthermia may cause unconsciousness that you won't wake up from, before a further temperature increase causes death, as on a sunny roof, in a hot tub, or in an untimed sauna.
Don't heat a stationary car with the engine, and thereby die of CO.
Proteins should be more Lysine than Arginine. See chart:

A recent beer company study suggests vast quantities of beer, but that study may have been self-serving. Beer has echinacea.
Hot rum toddy, followed by a hot bath. But don't fall asleep and drown.
