Re: ....A Well-Regulated Militia.....
I'm curious, callmeslick, what do you have to say about Anders Breivik? Norway is a pretty good example of gun control that you're looking for, and yet it didn't stop him. If you really want to talk about gun control, do it on the basis of the every-day gun crimes that happen. These big, messy ...

Re: ....A Well-Regulated Militia.....
Slick, while I can understand your dismay and high-charged emotions here, this is exactly why people like you should not set policy. Everything you say sounds good on the surface but the facts are always this. Gun bans lifted, crime goes down. Gun bans imposed, crime goes up . We live in a sick ...

Re: Family and finances
As far as I know, privately held REITs don't have any type of cool down period or a surrender fee like an annuity. REITs are kind of like the mutual funds of property. The property is actually owned, but 95% of dividends are supposed to be distributed back to the investors. The big problem with ...

I'm worried about two different things. Number 1, if your brother wants in on a REIT why not join one through a legitimate proven company? There are plenty of them out there. Number 2, once that money is in a trust, which has it's own individual tax id and is its own legal entity, there's no real ...

I think I hate the defense more than Casey herself. I can't stand watching those smug pricks act as if they've done something righteous when all they did was line their pockets. On a side note, I wont be at all surprised if Casey+more end up being attacked/killed in the following weeks.
