Re: Houston "Hot Spot" Policing Doesn't Work
This is huge for my campus carry argument. All opponents claiming an increase of policing will do the job are effectively countered.
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere. -Thomas Jefferson

"Why does Senator Anti oppose SB 354? Is he pro-mugger or pro-rapist or both?"
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

Love it. If you can't beat their "strategy"...adapt it and use it to overcome. Well played!
