When It's Your Own Fault, Things Hurt

Some Of The Biggest Bores I've Ever Known Are Men Who Have Been Highly Successful In Business, Particularly Self-made Heads Of Big Companies. Before The First Olive Has Settled Into The First Martini, They Pour The Stories Of Their Lives Into The Nearest And Sometimes The Remotest Ears Capturable.... These Men Have Indeed Paid The Price Of Success. To Rise To The Top Of A Big Company Often Takes A Totality Of Effort, Concentration And Dedication. Others, Too, Have To Pay Part Of The Price.

Scientists Ofttimes Have The Greatest Faith In A Higher Power. The More They Dig Into, Establish Facts And Figures, The More They Marvel About The Mystery Of It All.

When A Fissure Off The California Coast Started Pumping And Dumping Oil On The Nearby Towns And Beaches, Everybody Started Dumping On Union Oil. Matters Weren't Helped One Iota By A Manufactured Quotation Attributed To Union's President, Fred Hartley, Alleging His Amazement At The Publicity For The Loss Of A Few Birds....

Can You Understand Why The Congress, Most States And Most Cities Refuse To Pass Legislation Requiring The Registration And Licensing Of Any And All Guns? For The Life Of Me, I Can't. We Must Register Our Cars And Be Licensed To Drive. In Many Places We Must Get Licenses For Dogs And Even Bicycles. Being Required To Register Firearms And Show The Competence And Capacity To Handle Them Hardly Seems Unreasonable, Hardly Seems An Infringement Of Freedom. What Is It That Blocks Such Legislation? Why Do They Block It? How Are They Able To Block It?
