While visiting in Denver Colorado this summer I came across a few visitors from Australia. The topic of crime came up and quickly eluded to no way to protect themselves or families. The mere fact that crime in the different cities of which the visitors come from seems to be getting worse. By the time the police get there its usually to late. So there seems to be a strong need to purchase weapons underground and more and more people are willing to take their chances as opposed to the other choice.

On another note a friend of mine told me that in the areas of Alberta Canada people are also having the same problem with crime in the cities and don't know what to do about it. This information comes from my friends brother-in-law who just happens to be from the Canadian Mounted Police out near there. Interesting?

It really amazes me how a young person is forced to buy health insurance. While between patients I had time to look at the average costs in each state and although the monthly premium seemed low I had to reflect on the additional cost for a young person on top of his or her auto insurance combined with there housing and cost of living I just don't know how these kids are going to accomplish this. I further question what the real deductible will be 1000.00, 5000.00/ year? How will they do this. Most young people I personally know cant afford this.
