I've got a confession to make.

As a college student, I was a serious General Hospital fan.

I'm not kidding -- I really was. In fact, I was part of a group of guys from my all male college who purposely arranged our class schedules so that we could watch the show. If I did have to miss my daily fix for some reason, I was lost.

I wish I had something like this site for keeping up with the Soaps to allow me to get a daily update on what I had missed. And to be honest, I would have loved to get all those inside tidbits about comings and goings on the show -- like when Laura mysteriously appeared following Luke's election as mayor of Port Charles. And while I have let that addiction fall by the wayside, I still remember the show fondly, and think this site has a great potential for fans of the Soaps.

By the way, the big inside scoop today is about the cancellation of Passions and the reaction of the show's fans. Drop by and take a look!

Consider the Second Amendment.

Amendment II

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

It is, of course, axiomatic that this amendment confers an individual right, for in every other instance in the Bill of Rights where the phrase "the people" is used it denotes a right which devolves upon the individual.

Which leads me to a simple question -- if the right to keep and bear arms allows us access to weapons with serious potential for lethality, should it not also be interpreted to include the right to carry non-lethal weaponry for the purpose of self-defense, such as a TASER, a stun gun, or mace pepper spray?

After all, I'm not really interested in killing a potential assailant or robber -- I'd just like to disable them long enough to secure my person and property. Yet current law in many parts of the country places restrictions upon my ability to do so, especially with regards to something like a stun gun. Consider the device pictured below.

This device packs a measly 65,000 volts of power -- a far cry from the 500,000 volt jolt that one receives from its bigger brothers used by law enforcement. It is a deterrent with some stopping power -- and quite frankly, I'd rather shock an assailant's butt across the room than leave them pumping their life-blood on the carpet. Maybe I'm just a bleeding heart in that regard, but I would prefer a weapon which makes it less likely that I will violate the injunction "Thou Shalt Not Kill."

So what do you think -- should We, the People of the United States, be free to carry non-lethal weapons for self-defense purposes? Is such a right consistent with the underlying intent of the Second Amendment? Or is that right only properly exercised by carrying the means of dealing out lethal force? Join in and share in the discussion.

Let's be honest --I can't live without my cell phone. It is my connection to the world. And the phones I prefer are from Motorola.

You may ask why. Believe it or not, it is because one of my seminary colleagues had, prior to following that vocation, been an R&D guy with Motorola. Fr. John didn't steer me wrong.

Well, I'm looking to get a new Motorola phone sometime soon. I'm partial to two of the latest -- the Motorola KRZR K1 and the Motorola Z3.

Maybe I've hung around my students too long, but I like the idea of a phone that can also play your music on the go. That would be teh Z3. On the other hand, having the photo capability of the KRZR would be nice, for those times when I don't have my digital camera around.

So tell me, what do you think?

Motorola Z3 or the Motorola KRZR K1?

Comment and let me know!
