No open carry at Texas fast food chain

E-mail Print PDF
After years of dispute, the governor of Texas signed legislation that will allow those in Texas to carry handguns openly in public. New Mexico already allows open carry, but the move in Texas brings renewed attention to the issue of openly carrying firearms.

The bill, which will not go into effect until next year, was...

Welfare dependency and its unprivileged offspring

Part 2 of 2

Last week I explored the notion of privilege in relation to racial identity, achievement and children raised in broken homes. The scientific consensus is that success and mental health are greatly heightened when children of all races are raised by both their biological mother and father.

Let’s move along to other correlations. In 1760 Benjamin Franklin observed in his travels around the world “the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves and became richer.”

Over 200 years after Ben’s observation, the 1960s War...

Part 1 of 2

Thousands of years ago primitive man almost instinctively realized that a pregnant woman didn’t stand much of a chance providing daily essentials on her own. Once the child was born that reality did not change.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Madame G is feeling refreshed after a psychic retreat at the XYZ Ranch. Now Aries, with your sharp wit and eye for detail, you are going to be coming into a more fruitful financial situation that you can use to take a vacation or at least go on a Rio West shopping spree. Don’t use that sharp wit to slay someone verbally. It will put a barrier between you and your fortune.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Those two stars in the sky lined up are actually two planets – Jupiter and Venus. It’s a temporary, star-crossed love affair. But don’t let that happen to you. If you have a sweetheart, treat him or her right. Shower them with love, hugs, and candy, and not...
