I suppose it is something that the US murder rate is better than nearly all of the 3rd world countries on Earth. I wonder if you'd mind publishing the rest of the list?

This question reminded me....

How's the worlds fastest... best cornering... drag car build coming along??

In a down economy, this is impressive.

Britain has one of the highest violent crimes rates - higher than the US and South Africa, along with a total gun ban.

France is more violent than the US. LMAO
The U.S. has a violence rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents,

The project is dead.

Frank and I have completed our divorce on that, and have reached an amicable settlement. You'd need to ask Frank for any further information.

that's too bad John. I wondered how it was going with the other issues.

Thanks Jody. I'm glad to have it settled, and I'm moving on, mostly working to build the joint venture John Ulaszek and I are working on -- Fuel Vents, FabBosses, and more.

That's the thing with criminals, deterrents really don't work. A thief doesn't rob a bank thinking he's going to get caught.

Again, all of the talk is about "keeping guns out of the hands of criminals". Was Adam Lanza a felon? Did he have a criminal history?

Mixed in all the hysteria we have shifted off course. The politicians and media have moved the goal posts. The FBI's own stats show us that violent gun is down 49% in 20 years, and that more people kill with hammers and other objects than guns.

The real issue is that in all these mass shootings, the kids were on psychotropic prescription drugs.

Of course Fienstein wont mention that. She'll just put on some theatrical display of fear and emotion. Not to mention, her saying that the cross lobby is stronger than the gun lobby? Classic divide and conquer. What a witch.

wait, are you saying the resposibility is with the prescription drug lobby? Next to oil that is a strong opponent.

No, the responsibility falls on the parents and other professionals to be educated about those products.

The irony of a "drug free school zone" is that alot of these teachers and kids are on Ritalin, Prozac, Zoloft, etc. Not judging anyone who takes that stuff, but there are risks associated, especially with children and young adults.

Bummer to read that. That was a very interesting project.

I hadn't been keeping up with the drama, but I figured there was some with all the other issues he was having. I hate to hear that JP cause I was looking forward to seeing that car perform.
