Former Journal Inquirer staff writer, Bob King, has passed away. He was 55.
According to his obit, “King died doing one of the things he loved so much: riding his bike along the backroads of Connecticut.” It is clear that Mr. King lived a distinguished life.
Bob was a great reporter and an even better person. We covered the Capitol together in the early 1990s, and his skill and personal integrity were a daily credit to the JI. My sympathies to his family.
BreenActually, I think they did take people’s cars.. Ford Pinto, the rear-engine car that Mr Nader crausded against (Corvair? I can’t remember. My family had each of those cars at one point!) Safety measures are important, no doubt. I don’t think vehicles between 1900-1920 had any safety features which modern cars are lacking. Except maybe the unsynchronized transmission, which surely helped keep people from accelerating too fast.I’m not saying regulations are always absolutely wrong, but we’ve already got plenty on the books. We really don’t need more.If anyone thinks it’s that easy to walk into a shop and buy a gun, please go to an FFL and inquire about purchasing a pistol or long gun. The root problem is not average citizens or an inanimate object.
Mike-I read your 5Q Process guide, and I think you’re absolutely right! I’m no more than one of a mlilion umbrella salesman on the street and I’m stuck in that quandary of figuring out how to differentiate myself from the pack ie: my message of uniqueness HELP!!Bob
A little rationality lifts the quality of the debate here. Thanks for contributing!
