Charles Pierce, Esquire
Pierce writes: "One of the sad and curious consequences of the massacre of schoolchildren in Newtown, Connecticut a couple of years back was the fact that, rather than being chastened by the savagery and encouraged by it to help seek solutions to the country's insane devotion to its firearms, the radical gun-rights community intensified its efforts to roll back even the weak regulations currently in place."

Allegra Kirkland, AlterNet
Kirkland writes: "From Bel Air mansions to beachfront villas, lavish homes do double duty as solid investments and ostentatious displays of wealth.
