But something in me threw caution to the wind last night and I headed out to my nearby theatre for the 7:20 screening of The Last Exorcism, a film I have been excited to see and has received pretty good reviews and word of mouth.

[Room for Debate] Do We Tolerate Too Many Traffic Deaths? - NYTimes.com: To take just one example, even though just 17 percent of the U.S. population is labeled as rural, a majority of fatal traffic crashes occur in rural areas (for various reasons ranging from lifestyle, driving speeds, road engineering and emergency response). As the leading cause of death for people aged 1 to 34 years old in the U.S., traffic deaths represent nothing short of a public health crisis, not a collection of “accidents,” and should be treated as such.

However, the cop who ticketed me for running a red light (actually, as even he admitted in traffic court, stopping, looking both ways, and then proceeding through the intersection against the light) did not see it the same way, nor did the judge, who, although sympathetic to my safety argument to the point of reducing the fine, said that it was not up to me to interpret traffic laws as I saw fit.

[DickMorris.com] GROUND ZERO MOSQUE: THE REAL ISSUE at DickMorris.com: I think radical Muslim groups have figured out a new way to infiltrate America and it’s not through violence (though that will always be an option), but through using political correctness and our Constitution against us. I understand that we have freedom of religion in this country, but I just don’t know how we can survive as a country (one founded on Judeo-Christian philosophy) allowing a radical sect of Islam to get a foothold in the U.S. Ultimately these groups don’t wish to assimilate and eventually, when they have the numbers, you will begin to see what we are seeing in France and other parts of the world: a demographic intent on imposing their radical views on the society that has adopted them.

That's because we Americans tend to believe it is a self-evident truth "that all Men [sic] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men [sic], deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
