A NOTE FROM NEAL

Even though I'm on vacation this week ... with cell phones turned off ... I've been waiting for the Supremes to issue their ruling on our right to own guns.  Finally the Supreme Court, though by a narrow margin, has ruled that the 2nd Amendment protects the rights of citizens not the rights of government.  Good news for those who believe in the sanctity of the individual, bad news for those that believe we are here merely to serve the ends of government. 

Here's something else you may want to ponder as the uproar over this ruling spreads.  (Oh, those poor Brady people).  Without the appointments made to the Supreme Court by George W. Bush this probably would have been completely different.  With Al Gore in the presidency your right to own a gun for self-defense would have been ripped away today.

Thank you Florida .. and see you on Monday.
