Good news all around. A San Francisco appeals court has stated that the Second Amendment gives a person the right to carry a gun for self-defense outside the home. As an aside, the fear of Obama must be lessening or everyone is pretty much armed up. Cabela's is reporting that gun and ammo sales are disappointing. Keep working on your friends to get a gun and become a good, discriminating shooter.
Hemp is working its way to legality through the farm bill. Under the provisions, hemp would be only legal for research and not in the use, say, of manufacturing rugs and cosmetics. Some law enforcement groups are against hemp because it looks like marijuana. You don't hold back our economy because some cops fear they can't identify hemp. Surely, cops are smart enough to be taught how to differentiate hemp from marijuana or some kind of tool can be developed. It's not rocket science but plant identification.
The number of abortions in the U.S. fell in 2011 fell to its lowest point since the 1970s. "Only" 1.06 million abortions were performed in 2011. It would be nice if women supporting abortions on the basis of " It's my body!" would be consistent and support legalization of drugs, suicide, and no seat belts for adults.

What's Better Or Worse With Florida Drugs, Stunt Resumes, Mexico's Oil, And Noisy Planes
Florida, a state rich in corruption due to its Cracker heritage, now has a chemist in the Department Of Law Enforcement suspected of taking drugs seized in arrests of over 2,000 cases. His theft threatens with dismissal all these cases. The state is so corrupt that the gentleman hasn't even been charged.
Resumes with a stunt don't usually work. On the other hand, these Hail Marys sometimes score a job. Companies in America receive an average of 383 applications a day and NSA-like, they are run through computers looking for key words that indicate the applicant has the needed skills- usually education and job experience. For those lacking these skills, drama is often used. One person sent his resume by carrier pigeon. Another linked his resume to his cache of erotica. One person got a face-to-face interview and after it, sent a thank-you note attached to pizza for the entire company. The pizza man was hired but proved to be a dud: He watched "South Park"
at the office and took naps. So long, Pizza Man. Drama is fun, but we vote for the hard work necessary to get education or training and then experience.
Mexico was the first nation in the world to nationalize - steal- its oil, doing so in 1938. For a decade its production of oil has been falling due to lack of cash and the knowledge of how to drill in deep water. Except for the Arctic, Mexico has the largest unknown oil reserves (which seems a strange designation). The problem is that they are in the depths of the Gulf Of Mexico. The Mexican congress has just ended the state control on oil, thus opening its oil and natural gas to foreign corporations. The leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution (PDR), in the true democratic fashion Socialists are well-known for, tried blocking the halls were the voting was taking place. One of the PDR lawmakers stripped to his tightie whities to make a speech. The PDR plans to appeal to the Supreme Court to approve a referendum on the bill to allow foreign investors to develop oil and natural gas. This appeal is projected for 2015. Mexicans are planning to use their cheap natural gas from these wells to build steel, glass, and petrochemical industries. They believe they can compete with the Chinese by paying below-Chinese levels of wages.
It appears that you will not have to endure the din of a hundred one-sided conversations while flying. The Transportation Department is about to ban phone use on planes. However, it seems to be an unnecessary intrusion into the private economy as only JetBlue Airways is even open to considering inflight telephone service.

What's Worse And Better In The News About Kirchner's Drama, Devaluing The Bolivar, Asian Carp, And Fat Elephants
Out Of Fortune Grows Misfortune, And Out Of Misfortune Grows Fortune
- Chinese Saying
Violence and looting in stores have occurred as Argentina's economy worsens due to last year's inflation of 25 to 30 percent due to decades of the government flooding the market with cheap money and also due to the world-wide decline in commodity prices which means that Argentina has less money coming in from her exports. The drama queen president Christina Kirchner had brain surgery recently, but still persists in efforts at income redistribution instead of trying to help grow productivity. We predict that both Venezuela and Argentina will continue to fail economically, though one may learn from the other's mistakes and take a more pro-business approach. Business is the only way to make money. In socialism, the government eventually takes everyone's money and then has none.
Venezuela officially stated that it will take not 6 bolivars but 1l bolivars to buy 1 U.S. dollar. The true value of the bolivar is its worth on the black market- the free market. There it takes 70 bolivars to buy 1 U.S. dollar. In Venezuela, the socialist hatred of business has driven out human and investment capital. This means that very few people are making money. The country is essentially living on its oil revenues which are not enough for the entire population. The noose is tightening, and the order of business for the government will be shriller and more violent demonizations. The people are largely ill-educated and child-like, and the empty emotionalism will probably work.
Asian carp, which can weigh 100 pounds fully grown, were brought into America's South to clean waste water and are now prevalent throughout the South. They are working their way to the Great Lakes and destroy almost completely other species of fish. Very few Americans enjoy eating carp. In fact, there is a recipe that calls for baking a carp on a board, then throwing the carp away and eating the board. But Americans are learning that Asian prize carp and are exporting carp to Asia. The major obstacle is that Asians like fresh not frozen carp primarily because they aren't used to freezers. As an aside, we'd like to see Peta make sure that these fish are being killed before they are gutted and cleaned. They may not be.
Three-fourths of the elephants in American zoos are fat. Zoos are initiating regular weigh-ins for the pachyderms. They are hiding food around the elephants' enclosures in order to make the elephants get some exercise. The article did not say that fat elephants were simply being fed less, but there's every reason to believe that.

What's Better Or Worse In The News With Bikini Baristas, Chinese Military, Putin, And An Honest Museum
Bikini baristas in the Pacific Northwest are sometimes offering customers more than craft coffees. For instance, paying for a single cup of java with a twenty dollar bill might get you a "show" if you let the barista pocket the change. A show is a brief look at the clerk's privates. The problem is that children going by in vehicles are seeing this lewd behavior. In addition, at least one barista has been seen leaving the coffee drive-through to get into a customer's vehicle and then emerging shortly later with what looked like money in her hand.
During the Cold War With Russia - World War lll that is, Russian officers knew that near-fights with Americans and her allies were a good way to end their military careers. However, it is becoming apparent now that Chinese officers are being rewarded for close calls with the forces of the free world. Last month a Chinese naval vessel got within 100 yards of the USS Cowpen, a missile launcher, in a bluff blockade manuever. The Cowpen was watching China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, in international waters at a safe distance. As a result of Chinese aggression, seven Asian countries are unprecendently beginning to pool their military might to protect themselves from the Communist Dragon. China's nationalism and militarism are reminding historians of Pre-World War l Germany.
Putin deceitfully continues to put a good face on Russia by granting clemency to political prisoners. He has just freed Mikhail Khedorvovsky, the oil billionaire who made the mistake of criticizing Putin and remaining in Russia. He is now in Switzerland.
The Salzburg Museum in Austria appears to be behaving morally in returning natural history artifacts to their Jewish owners. The museum was controlled Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS Police Force. His men stole mammoth bones, mounted birds, antlers, and other hunting trophies in German occupied areas and even farther east.
These commentaries are based upon news from the Wall Street Journal, America's most trusted national newspaper.
