Richard,

I was going to present these:

Crime rates continue to drop: As of August, 2007, homicides are down 30% over last year. Nashville has its lowest UCR (Uniform Crime Reporting) crime rate since 1989. The burglary rate is at its lowest point since 1972.

In the District, gun crime increased last year, with armed robberies up 24 percent and shootings and other violent gun crimes up 7 percent from last year, according to preliminary crime data. Property crime rose by 4 percent, with the biggest jumps in arson and theft, the data showed.Through early New Year's Eve, counties in Northern Virginia reported 33 slayings in 2007, down from 48 in 2006. Prince George's recorded 144 killings, up from 136, and the District had 181, up from 169. In Washington's other Maryland suburbs, the number of homicides remained relatively steady or fell.

...and make some clever remark about trends and new data vs. five year old data...but I changed my mind. You're right. 80% of this is crap. Besides, "World of Beretta" is on the Outdoor Channel, and I want to see what new guns they're offering in 2008. So here's to 2008, I don't know if you're ever in Nashville, Richard, but if you are going to be, drop me a PM, I'll buy lunch and show you the city. If you'd like, I'll even take you to the range for some target shooting, if you'd rather not, that's ok, I'll show you Music Row.

All the Best,
Mike

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
