So while I know that its not a national problem, I want to start with the purposed law in NC about allowing guns into clubs and resaturates. I gotta wonder who came up with this genius idea. Lets see, lets put two very volatile things, alcohol and guns, in the same place and see what happens. Now I understand that there is more to it than that but I'm just saying, really bad idea. While I'm sure that most people would be responsible and wouldn't cause a lot of problems, we have to face the fact that there are a lot of stupid people in the world and a lot of guns in NC. If this law passes there are going to be a lot of problems. Drunk people and firearms do not mix in any situation.

I'm sure that most people are aware of whats going on in Libya currently. I am really pulling for those rebel forces to win in their fight. I know that the US has pulled a lot of our military support out of the fight, which is both good and bad. Its good because it means we are less likely to get draw into a long fight over there. Its bad because the Libyan rebels really need the extra punch that comes from the US bombing the government forces. With any luck, the rebels will be able to handle whats going on and will win the fight with a minimum of casualties. They are fighting for their homes and their basic human rights. I can't think of anything that would motive people more.

Something I just read recently informed me that there is some violence going on in the Ivory Coast. Apparently around 800 people got killed in a major city there. The violence is between the forces of the UN recognized president and the current president who won't leave office. This is the first that I've heard of any problems in that area even though it has been going on for a little while now. I guess that this is because we as a country don't really have any interest in the Ivory Coast. I really hope that this doesn't turn into another civil war.
