Travel writer Arthur Frommer travel to Arizona because of open carry laws?
Dave Asked:
What's funny is how Frommer travel will visit cities like Chicago and Detroit, but not feel safe in Arizona......LOL
Reply:
Cats.
There are no in betweens. People hate them absolutely, or they love them absolutely. I have actually seen with my own eyes drivers deliberately swerving to hit a cat as it raced across the street. I once witnessed a horrific car accident that involved one pickup and two cars, leaving three dead and several injured (yup, it was the pickup that swerved, trying to hit a cat as it ran across a highway). Oddly, the only person involved that wasn't injured...was the cat, which, as I observed, was sitting casually on the side of the highway, passively watching as the emergency crews came to the scene.
I am NOT saying that all pickup owners hate cats, just that there are some folks out there who do, whom happen to own pickups.
I've also seen cars full of kids swerve to hit cats. Vehicle types don't count, only the moron driving it.
Guns are like cats. There are absolutists out there who hate guns and everyone whom has ever owned one, and NOTHING will ever change their minds...that is...until they need one and don't have one.
Or, they're just liars about their own gun colections (and many of the loudest anti-gun types do have their own collections, or, at the very least, are surrounded by armed private security agents).
Doesn't matter.
It's their "public voice" that we hear baying, whining and ranting against guns.
The funny thing is, that back when Teddy Rooseveldt was President, it was not at all uncommon for a rifle toting fellah to be granted admission (while still armed!), into the White House, to sit, drink whiskey and "jaw" with The President. After all, they'd served together in Cuba, or were just good old hunting buddies.
Funnier still is that most hunters that I have known over the years hated cats.
I am a hunter of over forty years, and I can't imagine living without a cat in my life (Vinnie, an American Black Shorthair, is curled up, comfortible, warm and purring softly next to my right foot as I write this).
Cats, guns, it doesn't make any difference. It's about adoration, admiration, comfort, or just plain love.
Or, it's about the other thing...hate...pure, total, unreasoning, uncomprimising and absolute hatred.
It's also about Freedom.
The freedom to enjoy our guns...the freedom to enjoy our purring kitties...

Yes I certainly agree.
Palin is a Hail Mary pass from a desperate party, a party that gave us 8 years of the worst administration in history.
Palin was picked to be a human wedge issue, and she is doing her job well: creationism, war with Russia, extremist views.
Let's all hope and pray that the voters see through this insult by November.
The Secure Flight initiative could cause problems for innocent travellers, without catching the terrorists.
Frommer: Perennial travel bargains
The Ukraine is not part of the EU/EEA. As you are not a citizen of the EEA (European Economic Area) your first hurdle to overcome will be that you will need a work permit if you wish to come here to live and work, and to get one of those you will have to have a skill that is in high demand here. Either that or have a shed load of money to invest, or be able to get yourself transferred here by an American company with a branch here. As you are still at college you will have the opportunity to get qualified in a field that will be of use to you here.
You can find out all the rules and requirements at this government border agency site.

Great Tips!
Rand McNally?
frommers is the old school book, famous for many years….but lonely planet is the best IMHO.
some like the rough guides, but i think that lonely planet gives so much better (and clear and orderly) information about the country. you are definately trying to be more like the locals and experience what they do with lonely planet.
fodors gives you much info….but it is not the "back pack" or "get your hands dirty" choice. besides i think that fodors is not one for a person who likes to travel "low" in other words, as if you were on a budget (or if you really are).
go for the lonely planet…the maps are easier to read too.
Why don't you write to the address in the Frommer's Travel Guidebook where the book is published . Mention that you would like to get this letter to David Baird, could they help you.

Ummm… First amendment right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press? Just as it's your right to bear arms, it's his right to express his opinion. Both are American.
