Make sure you know the contraindications for npas. They're not always better. Also, ideally you should have several different sizes of airway.

First of all, no it doesn't. It says that serious concerns regarding the studies that tie aspirin to Reye's syndrome exist. It goes on to say: I guarantee you won't find many health professionals in the western world who would give aspirin to a child. Also, while aspirin may be of...

I realize this is an old thread, but this needs pointing out. Do not give aspirin to children. Reye's Syndrome

Another way of looking at this is to look at the before and after "grade point averages." I just put this together, and haven't really proof-read it yet, so my numbers may not be perfect...but it ought to be close. Also, I haven't yet added the GOA ratings. This is only NRA ratings, and is...

Cook County just had an advisory referendum reading: For the health and safety of children and the entire community, shall the State of Illinois enact a comprehensive ban on the manufacture, sale, delivery and possession of military-style assault weapons and .50 caliber rifles? It passed...

I know they used to. I'd be willing to bet that they still do. Internships aren't much good if you've been out of college for very long, though. The ILA used to have at least one of them, too. :D

An EVC position is neither a job, nor is it inherently involved in lobbying. An Election Volunteer Coordinator is merely a volunteer who organizes and manages a group of local volunteers in his or her congressional district.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the topic, but hopefully somebody else does. Would it be theoretically possible to have oneself hypnotized to react as though shooting at a target were a real encounter? If, in a hypnotic trance, you believed that the targets were shooting back, you'd...

This is patently inaccurate. As others have mentioned, the Constitution places this restriction on the states, not on the individual. The Congress is required to provide for the common defense. But that doesn't mean that nobody else is allowed to. An Army is an "instrument of national...

If I were to respond to everything I want to respond to in this thread, I would be typing for a week. Rather, as there seem to be several distinct schools of thought, I’m going to address each camp as a whole. If you don’t feel like reading through all of this, please take a look at the last...

Wow. What a can of worms I seemed to have opened up. Response to follow...after I hack through the last few days' responses.

I think this is one of the more interesting things I've read on this topic. Unfortunately...it supports the position I'm trying to argue against. :D

Technically, there's no line in the Constitution between saying "vote for Bush" and yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre, either. I think most people would argue, though, that the latter is legitimately restricted. It seems to me that--ideally--there should probably be a similar line...

The Framers clearly couldn't have envisioned nukes. They also probably couldn't have envisioned the internet, or, it could be argued, fully automatic weapons. There are literally thousands of things that we take for granted that the Framers probably didn't envision. That doesn't in any way...
