employees expensive hire less point raises retain skilled train
From their (employers') point of view, it's much less expensive to give big raises to retain skilled employees than it is to recruit, hire and train new people.
businesses difficulty expect homes jury people pool putting rebuilding
I would expect they're going to have real difficulty putting a jury pool together. If people are back in New Orleans, they're going to be rebuilding their homes or businesses or both.
rifles prison murder
It appears that the murder rate inside prisons is ten times higher than that outside prisons. It must be due to all those Kalashnikov rifles that are issued to prisoners upon their incarceration.
justified victim self-defense
We are fully justified in valuing the life and person of an intended victim more highly than the life of a pernicious assailant. The attacker must be stopped. At once and completely.
finding-yourself be-kind tough
If you find yourself under lethal attack don't be kind. Be harsh. Be tough. Be ruthless.
blessed thinking sight
Blessed are those who, in the face of death, think only about the front sight.
mistake mean gun
The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user. It is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying group enemies on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized.
second-amendment liberty constitution
Let us remind ourselves again that the Second Amendment of the US Constitution should be referred to as the Statute of Liberty.
doe action appearance
Anyone who appears to be triggered out of watchfulness and into action by your appearance must be explained. Anyone observing you carefully must be explained. Anyone whose behavior seems to be geared to yours must be explained. If the explanation does not satisfy you, be ready to take appropriate defensive action.
rifles citizens subjects
Pick up a rifle and you change instantly from a subject to a citizen.
democracies-have democracy elements
Democracy has many definitions, but what's in it for me is not an element of any of them.
safety culture uniforms
It seems evident that the basis for civil safety is homogeneity. A culture which is socially uniform is pretty well devoid of informal violence.
felons self-defense lives-of-others
If a felon attacks you and lives, he will reasonably conclude that he can do it again. By submitting to him, you not only imperil your own life, but you jeopardize the lives of others.
warning littles alertness
If it is ever your misfortune to be attacked, alertness will have given you a little warning, decisiveness will have given you a proper course to pursue, and if that course is to counterattack, carry it out with everything you've got! Be indignant. Be angry. Be aggressive.
