Thanks for suggesting a federal act that would make it a crime to shoot an intruder in your own house if you had a mode of escape available to you.

It's a shame because even with all of that, unless he repented for his role in murder it's all for naught in the afterlife.

No one ever answered my question as to whether he'll have a Viking funeral?

Fortunately (for us all) YOU do not determine such things. I KNOW God and you aren't Him.

As well as those on 'poor' street and on 'rural' avenue and every other street, road, avenue and muddy path in this country. That is one of the things I noticed about all of the Kennedys - They believed in the people of this great nation - no matter where those people lived, what they did for a living or what side of the political aisle they were on.

Actually, it's right there in the Good Book that you cannot see heaven without repenting for your sins.

President Obama today said "Senator Kennedy was the greatest senator of our time..."

Lets be honest, is that something you should really be proud of? Thats like being the best player on a losing team...
