A Pennsylvania teenager could be tried for murder for allegedly pointing a gun at his friend's head and pulling the trigger during a game of Russian roulette. “This is a tragic example of the consequences of the irresponsible handling of a firearm,” Bedford County District Attorney Bill Higgins said of the July 20th incident that left Neal Hammond, 15, dead. Cole McConoughey, 15, has been charged as an adult with aggravated assault in the shooting. Prosecutors were still considering third-degree homicide or manslaughter charges against the teen for pulling the trigger on Hammond during a sleepover at McConoughey's Everett, Penn., home.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
