Is Government Secrecy Compatible With Democracy?
December 21st, 2008Democracy as freedom is as essential as freedom in a democracy which is run by a government, even though the government is of the people. Defining just what our government here in the United States does for us is not so simple as to say everything is out in the open for all to see and hear, which is part of the problem we have in our National Security right now, meaning some people do not know how to keep their mouths shut.

Brazil - The South American Powerhouse
November 7th, 2008Introduction
Brazil, the South American Powerhouse, has a GDP of 1.5 trillion, nearly three times the GDP of Argentina (South America’s second richest country), and far more than any other country in South America (CIA World Factbook).

However, those who would outlaw gun ownership are undaunted and patient. They know that another school shooting or mass murder will eventually occur in the United States, and that event will propel this issue back onto the front pages and lead stories in the news media. So, let us examine the issue of gun control in light of history and a strict interpretation of the Constitution.
