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 case...

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 wor...

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.
