Happenings at This Day in History

About a year ago I stopped making regular updates to this blog to concentrate on my Namnesia Antidote blog. While that is an ongoing effort, I am starting what should be about a year long effort to revitalize the concept of a "This Day in History" blog. I have decided to leave this blog intact and as-is, using a new "This Day in History 2.0" blog for my expanded and full version. Please feel free to email with your ideas. The two tables below should allow you to find a posting for the "Day in History" you wish to research.

Best Liberal Quote of the Day: On Privacy "The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedom." — William O. Douglas

Stupidest and/or Scariest Quote from the Right for the Day: On Their Cold Dead Hands "Question: How do you explain the low crime rates in democratic societies with strong firearms regulations?

Tanya Metaksa: The same way I would explain low crime rates in other countries which have less firearm restrictions that the countries you are talking about, and less restrictions that the high crime parts of the U.S.—there is no correlation between gun laws and crime rates, one way or the other, for the most part. As noted though, where gun laws respect the right to self-protection, crime rates are much lower. . . ." — Tanya Metaksa, Executive Director of the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action in a "Time online" interview. Time's Nancy Kearney was the moderator, 5-30-95. hoboes.com.—Part 1 of 2 {Due to the length of some of these nutball quotes, I have decided to split the longer ones into parts. I could have abridged them but I think that would have lessened the impact of showing just how crazy these guys are. Please refer to previous and/or subsequent posts for complete quote.}

Dumbest Thing Said for the Day: From Politics "If I seem unduly clear to you, you must have misunderstood what I said." — Alan Greenspan, Federal Reserve chairman
