Is there any reason for today’s Americans to care about what happens to tomorrow’s Americans? After all, what have tomorrow’s Americans done for today’s Americans? Moreover, since tomorrow’s Americans don’t vote, we can dump on them with impunity. That’s a vision that describes the actual behavior of today’s Americans. It would be seen as selfish, callous and ruthless only if it were actually articulated. Let’s look at it.

     On a visit to a park just outside of Juno, Alaska, we noticed a sign with this inscription, “A fed bear is a dead bear.”  We asked the ranger why that was so and he explained that it changes the bear’s nature and habits so that it can no longer survive in nature and becomes aggressive.

-2-4 slices of bread (depending on size and heartiness of slices- I like to use 2 slices of heavy whole wheat bread)

1 lb. sausage (I use 1/2 lb. to be healthier and I like it better with less anyway)

1 c grated cheddar cheese (or be a little generous with the cheese like I am)

6 large eggs

North Ogden City just recently had some very emotional citizens speaking to the City council against the mayor’s proposal to extend the Monroe Boulevard as a major traffic corridor from south to north. Mayor Harris was proposing to take a “grant” for two million dollars received from State of Utah specifically for that purpose. You can imagine how much more vehement the voices would have been if the Mayor was saying he wanted to bond the city for another two million dollars for that street development.

Utah has a tremendous opportunity right now to attract gun businesses from across the nation to move to our great State, where they can manufacture and sell their products without threat of government interference.  

Editor,

One of the best arguments against restricting the size of semi-automatic gun magazines is this...

Even the anti-gunners acknowledge that the Police should still be able to use high-capacity magazines.

SO... that is an admission that these devices ARE more effective and give them an advantage in a dangerous situation.

Now think about it...
