Right to Bear Arms Men’s Gun T-shirt Medium - Art Is Created Using the 2nd Amendment
March 5th, 2010
Gun T-Shirt
Created using the 2nd Amendment (The Right To Bear Arms)
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
For or against the 2nd Amendment one cannot deny the power of this single sentence. Since the adoption of The Bill of Rights, the right to bear arms has been a explosive issue that has been consistently debated and defended. For some this right is part of the fabric of our great country, for others it is the reason for our countrys high death and crime statistics.
This shirt was created for those who support, defend and are proud of the freedom The 2nd Amendment offers Americans. It is, after all, a constitutional right.

Water for Elephants: A Novel (Paperback)
March 3rd, 2010
Amazon.com Review
Jacob Jankowski says: “I am ninety. Or ninety-three. One or the other.” At the beginning of Water for Elephants, he is living out his days in a nursing home, hating every second of it. His life wasn’t always like this, however, because Jacob ran away and joined the circus when he was twenty-one. It wasn’t a romantic, carefree decision, to be sure. His parents were killed in an auto accident one week before he was to sit for his veterinary medicine exams at Cornell. He buried his parents, learned that they left him nothing because they had mortgaged everything to pay his tuition, returned to school, went to the exams, and didn’t write a single word. He walked out without completing the test and wound up on a circus train. The circus he joins, in Depression-era America, is second-rate at best. With Ringling Brothers as the standard, Benzini Brothers is far down the scale and pale by comparison. Water for Elephants is the story of Jacob’s l (more…)

Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and the New War on the Poor (California Series in Public Anthropology, 4)
March 2nd, 2010
Review
“It’s crucial that we confront the link Farmer reveals between social inequality and disease.” — Utne”This emotional book is an appeal for a struggle for equity in the field of health and human rights.” — Boleslav L. Lichterman, British Medical Journal”Thoughtful and provocative.” — American Scientist
Pathologies of Power uses harrowing stories of life-and death-in extreme situations to interrogate our understanding of human rights. Paul Farmer, a physician and anthropologist with twenty years of experience working in Haiti, Peru, and Russia, argues that promoting the social and economic rights of the world’s poor is the most important human rights struggle of our times. With passionate eyewitness accounts from the prisons of Russia and the beleaguered villages of Haiti and Chiapas, this book links the lived experiences of individual victims to a broader analysis of structural violence. Farmer challenges conventional thinking within huma (more…)

To Keep and Bear Arms: The Origins of an Anglo-American Right
March 2nd, 2010
Review
Joyce Malcolm’s book reminds us forcibly that arguments for gun ownership were, until quite recently, respectable and persuasive, and that gun control and peaceable behaviour appear to be unrelated phenomena. –David Wootton (London Review of Books )A work of genuine excellence, as persuasive in its argument as it is unsettling in its implications…Malcolm’s prose is both vigorous and elegant, and occasionally even witty, a virtue rarely to be found in a constitutional treatise. The book should generate a healthy debate about the future of gun control in America. –Douglas R. Egerton (American Historical Review )A wide audience, including social scientists, historians, lawyers, and anyone interested in the gun-ownership debate, should welcome this concise, well-written history. –Allan D. Olmsted (Contemporary Sociology )[Malcolm] provides a skillful analysis of how the Englishmen’s duty to bear arms was transformed into a right to bear arms. –Robert E. Shalhop (more…)
