-The United States Supreme Court declared today that the Constitution protects the right of an individual to keep and bear arms. Well, duh. Who thought they would declare otherwise. Let's face it, this country has a long tradition of individual gun ownership and precedent exists for this ownership going back to the Pilgrims stepping off the Mayflower with muskets in their hands. They were individuals, not "militia" members. What government officials who want gun bans ought to be focusing on now are two things: tough gun use laws with stiff penalties for using a gun in the commission of a crime and illegal gun possession, and the teaching of morals in the schools. Nothing fancy, just right and wrong, as in it's wrong to kill people. A nation filled with people who don't know the basics of right and wrong is going to find ways to kill each other, even if they don't have a gun.
-Take care of the chocolate and everything will be alright. US government scientists have teamed up with the private sector to study the cocoa genome. I don't know what that means exactly, but I do know that they are doing this in an effort to battle crop diseases and the end result may even be better tasting chocolate! Finally, the government is doing something useful.
