Freakonomics - Incentives

We briefly discussed the recent homicides in Minneapolis and Brooklyn Park.  People kill people, but guns make it easier.  While we have a 2nd Amendment right to own firearms, should there be limits placed on ownership and use in terms of type, number, and availability or access?  That is your Weekly WIL question.  We spent the rest of the day finishing Freakonomics with the study of Incentives - Can You Bribe A 9th Grader To Succeed?  You wrote a personal response when finished.

I will be out on Thursday.  The assignment given is to read two excerpts from Andrew Carnegie and Karl Marx.  There are questions to ponder and respond to on the back of each excerpt.  We'll discuss them on Friday.
