Columbine and Virginia Tech were not good omens. The victims there were unarmed sheep, who hid beneath desks and chairs, simply cowering as they died. They said “Baa” as they were being slaughtered. Something basic to our society has to change. It’s time to stand and fight while we still can. And if our politicians tell us we can’t protect our children in a daycare center, a post office, or a church, then we show them the door. We vote them out. We recall them. We take out the trash! That’s the attitude that America was founded on. Somewhere along the timeline, America has lost it’s way, we’ve lost our instinct for survival; it’s no longer “fight or flight”; it’s just plain “cower and die”!

Don't cower in the face of crime! Read this book and make your stand. That's one of the themes in Skip Coryell's new book "RKBA: Defending the Right to Keep and Bear Arms".

Migration has been happening, in varying forms, for millennia but it still elicits fear and mistrust, and not just on the part of the Areceiving” society. Communities from where people migrate often disapprove of the migrants’ decision and consider it treacherous. The recent reawakening of the debate about migration in the new millennium has evoked intense emotion particularly in the United States and Europe. Global Crossings cuts through the jungle of myth, falsehood and misrepresentation that dominates the debate, clarifying the causes and consequences of human migration. Why do millions of people continue to risk their lives, and oftentimes lose it, in the pursuit of a chance to establish themselves in a foreign land? The book first looks at the immigrant experience, which connects the present to the past, and America to the rest of the world, and explores who immigrants are and why they move. The conduct of today is no different than that in the past. And contrary to the claims by immigration critics, the patterns of contemporary migration do not differ fundamentally from those of other epochs. Global Crossings then discusses immigration and culture. To what degree are foreigners culturally different? Can natives adapt? Can immigrants assimilate into the new society? In assessing whether critics are justified in pointing to a major cultural shift Alvaro Vargas Llosa reviews such topics as religion, education, entrepreneurial spirit, and attitudes toward the receiving society. The book analyzes such economic factors as jobs, wages, education, and the welfare state. How can an economy continue to operate even in the face of major legal obstacles, and how have recessions and times of prosperity influencedAmore significantly than government effortsAthe number of immigrants coming into the United States and other countries? Vargas Llosa finds that immigration’s contributions to an economy far outweigh the costs. Finally Global Crossings makes a call for
