BISMARCK, N.D. -- The North Dakota House has approved a bill that would give people the right to shoot someone who breaks into their home. And they wouldn't have to worry about being prosecuted or sued. It would also apply to incidents in a person's vehicle and workplace.

The measure says an individual threatened by an intruder may use deadly force and is not required to avoid a confrontation.

North Dakota's existing law has what is called a "duty to retreat" to avoid an armed confrontation. The proposed law eliminates the "duty to retreat."

The state of Massachusetts eliminated the duty to retreat back in the eighties and put into place a castle doctrine law.

According to the National Rifle Association, in the last year, 15 states enacted laws giving citizens the right to shoot in self defense.

Until recently, Toyota had such a hot commodity in the Prius hybrid that most dealers had waiting lists of two to three months for the fuel-efficient car.

Now, Toyota is offering incentives for the first time to move its gas/electric-engine models off the lot.

The change in sales momentum reflects how the popularity of hybrids remains tied very closely to the price of gasoline, rather than a broad change in the public mind-set about what kinds of cars, and engines, people desire.

Точно, надо повысить налог на нефть, а то и с доплатой брать не будут

Прослушали концерт сольных импровизаций Кейса Джарретта! В Большом Зале Чикагской Филармонии! Впечатление на всю жизнь, конечно. Страшное дело. Второй раз едва ли пойдем. Если только он вдруг надумает играть классическую музыку.
