Correlation != Causation. Not arguing for gun laws here, but that saying that gun laws increase crime is inaccurate. Crime increases gun laws is more likely. Look at the areas that have really tried (unsuccessfully) to put in strict laws. Chicago, New York. All areas with high crime BEFORE the gun laws kicked in.

The Constitution also doesn't state that the government has the power to force citizens to purchase unwanted health insurance from private entities, but it seems that this Court doesn't believe the States or the people reserve that power.

It does say that congress has the power to tax. And The Supreme Court viewed it as a tax. You pay additional "Taxes" if you do not have health insurence. Sounds well within Congressional Authority.

Comment Re:YHWH: the name above all [other] names (Score 1) 127

close, but no. You will see YHWH in the torah and sometimes prounounced in ceremony. But they did not go back and add vowels to it like they did the rest, because that would pervert the original name if someone read it. So what they did was add in the vowels for a different word "adoni" (king of kings) so you end up with a wierd conglomeration.-Yahoha. When the wierd conglomeration was read by a german monk, he pronounced it Jehova, unfortunatly the name stuck and we christians have yet another way to look like idiots to the jews.
