In light of recent death of Pope, what do you all think about the next Pope? Do you think it is now time for someone from Latin America to become the next Pope? I know somewhere between 114-117 Cardinals will decide who will be the next leader for the Catholic church. I thought it would be interesting to see where the church will go from here.

I heard on the news a couple days before the Pope died that he accepted the resignations of several cardinals and named their replacements. Do you think he really did it, or was his would-be successor lining up his supporters to get elected?

I don't know about the next Pope but I wonder how much of a dent in population growth there would be if the new Pope encouraged birth control.

I don't know about that. But 1.1 billion members around the world and only 117 Cardinals, I was thinking that is a very exclusive band of brothers. It is almost like each Cardinal is a head of a state. My best regards to our Catholic brothers and sisters in this very somber time of Pope's death. I was at the Capital waiting in line for over 4 hours to pay respect to our former President Ronald Reagan but the lines in Vatican for viewing the Pope is miles long, I heard.

Check out Florida's new right to defend yourself law. If I were a bad guy, I'd be scared.
Now we not only have a right to carry, we have a right to use.
Here's an excerpt from our local fishwrapper.

The measure makes it clear in state law what courts have generally ruled in Florida

The bill says that person has "the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so, to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another."
