If Henry Ford used Apple's mentality, he would have sued all other car makers for having a steering wheel.

    This is amazing if it is true, but somehow it seems a bit too convenient for the cameras. Shame really that I don't put it past a news crew to carefully trap a small dog in some rubble for a viral video.

    The 2nd amendment was written some 200 years ago.

    In a society without gun shows. A society without police forces as we have today. A society that was built only a generation or so from people who had to physically fight for their freedom from a King in another land.

    This is not today. The 2nd amendment is an outdated piece of history and needs to be re-visited. It doesn't have to be removed as I understand those that want a gun for their safety from burglars or such. I don't agree with it for me, but I can understand it. Have a handgun, or even 2...in your house. A hunting rifle is understandable.

    There is NO REASON for anyone to have any of the firearms in this video. There is NO REASON for anyone to have a bunch of different automatic weapons. Silencers. Quick reload capabilities. That's not defense. That's giving the ability to attack.

    If I've offended some of my friends here who are advocates of the joke that is the NRA, I apologize, but only to a point. If you think that more guns of this type is a good idea, and maybe someone in Columbine, Aurora, Virginia Tech, or this elementary school could have stopped this, then you are being naive.

    You want a gun, then fine. It should be hard. Really hard to get a gun. Really really hard! Will this stop these things from happening? No. Will it deter a couple of people that might have gone through with their sick plan who don't want to jump through all the hoops? Yes.

    Have your gun or guns for protection, but he NRA and their lobbyists and BS laws they try to push through should be dismantled, ridiculed, and abolished!

    Again, I apologize to some of you if I offended you. The rest of you offended should re-read this and re-watch the video. Then hug your kids again, and re-think.

    "The Earth is not 6,000 or 10,000 years old," Nye said in an interview with The Associated Press, citing scientists' estimates that it is about 4.5 billion years old. "It's not. And if that conflicts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs."

    Is it possible to write a sci-fi story that is not considered a young adult book?

    Or is it a stigma of the genre and no way to avoid it? As soon as there is mention of a sword/alien/space/apocalypse, the book is immediately looked at as a young adult read.

    What makes a novel a young adult novel? The protagonist being a child or teen pretty much assures it, but what if they the protagonist is an adult and most major characters are too. Are there other characteristics? What should be avoided to be within the sci-fi genre but not get this label? Or is that not possible?

    Thank you for your input.

    Any Harry Potter fans out there? J.K. Rowling's outline for the fifth book in the series 'The Order of the Phoenix'. Authors may find it particularly fascinating.

    You might need a good pair of glasses to read it all, however.  :)
