Could a simple sound stop a predator?

Rep. Peter King, D-N.Y., seems to think so.

Only somebody totally stupid would come up with something like this. Imagine if you are setting on a New York subway and you see a man robbing somebody and you silently snap a picture of the suspect- oh but your camera just made the sound- and then of course he turns and shoots you in the head and takes your camera phone! Peter King should be a Republican- the party of stupidity.

But he isn't. He is a Democrat. This only proves there are stupid people on both sides of the political spectrum. What it will take to stop them is smart people on both sides of the political spectrum standing together and forcing any politicians to put on their Dunce Hat when applicable.....as in this case.

Unfortunatley that aint gonna happen since it would require SMART PEOPLE to vote them into office in the first place. Sadly, not to many of those in modern day America.

If any politician is spending a second worrying about this issue with our economy in meltdown.....he/she needs to be recalled from office. This is the nanny state being carried to it's natural conclusion.

I think it would be a better idea to place Americore "volunteers" at each and every street corner with more than 100 cars passing a day to help anyone under 15 and over 65 to cross the street safely by taking their hand and escorting them across the street.
