Gun Safety 101
Don't point a gun ANYWHERE you don't want it shot, whether its loaded or not. And remember, the safety is like any mechanical thing- it can fail...
Gene Davis of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources with basics of gun safety and hunting ethics.
He also tells us who is a better bow hunter- him or his wife. Clue: they have a great time bow hunting together with no strife...
NOTE: This is not Indiana. This is a guy hunting prarie dogs in Arizona.
The Chicago Reader's Mick Dumke was on Vocalo talking about the Mayor of our great city, Richard M. Daley. Dumke's latest article for the Reader is
Time for a Revolution
No way is Mayor Daley going down without a fight. But perhaps you've noticed: he rarely ever gets one.
In his article, Dumke states that if change is to occur the mayor needs to be challenged. Perhaps there is no time like the present. Mayor Daley's latest endeavors may have weakened his stronghold on the city.
If he is to be challenged then who will be the candidate that will make Daley sweat and defend his decisions and policies? This is not your ordinary politcal conversation.

"A bombing in the eastern city of Lahore has killed at least 43 people – the fifth terrorist attack this week as extremists in Pakistan demonstrate their continued ability to strike." - Saeed Shah journalist guardian.uk
Ali Alvi was born and raised in Pakistan and attended school in Lahore. He now lives in Seattle, Washington but much of his family is still in Lahore. When he learned of the bombings he called home. His family was affected by this round of bombings.
He called Vocalo from Seattle. He talks about how Lahore was when he was there last and how helpless he feels now that he lives in the U.S. Ali says his family has grown somewhat desensitized by the bombing since they occur so often.
"A bombing in the eastern city of Lahore has killed at least 43 people – the fifth terrorist attack this week as extremists in Pakistan demonstrate their continued ability to strike." - Saeed Shah journalist guardian.uk
The recent bombings have brought war like conditions to the once peaceful Lahore, Pakistan. Aman Kariapper is a resident of Lahore and was on Vocalo hours after another bomb attack shook his city.
Aman, who is in Lahore, describes the conditions his people face and the fear they have about them. The once bustling streets and markets are now quiet. There is no answer for children who question these attacks. No way to prevent suicide bombers from striking again. The only thing that is certain is that there is war in the streets.
