Originally Posted By DyGDisney Moving is not always an option, in fact, most of the time it's not. People on these boards are always saying, "if you don't like (such and such), then move."

My kids' friends and ours are here, our church, etc. Oh, and my house is upside down, so I can't sell it if I wanted to. But by golly, I don't like the direction Calif. is going, or the violent crime in this country which I believe in part is due to our lax gun laws. So I should just move!

Makes statements showing what a "balla" he his by showing his "bling" I mean that certainly leaves a void in the music world. Forget Buddy Holly Forget John Lenon Forget Elvis. This is truly the day the music died.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 <DouglasDubh, could you share with us which book you're referring to?> It's a book called "More Guns, Less Crime" by a guy named John Lott that came out about 10 years ago. Many people disagreed with his conclusions and called his methodology faulty. See #17 for a small taste.
Originally Posted By SuperDry You're speculating that that's the book DouglasDubh is referring to. I'd like for him to tell us himself which book he's referring to, so that there will be no misunderstanding.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 I hear you, but when he said "Yes, a whole book of them. That's why I put quotes around and capitalized my generality," I figured that was his snarky way of saying that he was referring to the book titled "More Guns, Less Crime," a phrase he quoted an capitalized in #8. It's a dubious source, but at least it's a source.

Hopefully, he'll clarify the matter for us.
