however, our specialist, thomas joyner, a brief sore of psychology at florida state university, joinss today with some tips on how to cure these very problems. he's the author of "lonely at the top, the high cost of men's success." so the problem seems fairly well defined. how do you even begin to address it? >> well, it's very well defined, and as you reference it's very prevalent. the surveys indicate one out of three, maybe even more men, and also women, are experiencing profound loneliness. that's a bad news, and to further the bad news it can prove quite lethal, as you also alluded to. the good news though is that it turns around. it's responsive to very, very simple things. the book's mantra is to fix this you need to have a attitude thatncludes the i, rea joining in the social activities. these can be really minor. they don't have to be major things, but if you do them day after day after day, you get a bit of a positive snowball effect and the trend to accelerating loneliness can turn around to instead being accelerating social connection, the social connections with just cruc

the state of florida made that decision. which 35 states had laws that they wanted to abide by, and 15 states they did not agree with. and did not want to have reciprocity with them. that's a decision the state made. one of the things that -- i think in this whole debate over the research done by dr. lot, where the basis of the core -- is that if more people carried firearms, the crime rate would go down. i would join the gentle lady from new york saying i don't take that research on faith. in fact it's been challenged, and there are a lot of questions about it. if you believe that more people carrying firearms will lower the crime rate, then you'd have one view of the legislation, and if you believe, is a do that more people carrying firearms is not helpful to the crime rate, then you have a different -- >> it's absolutely true, mr. scott, my view of having the ratio of licensed firearms carriers to unlicensed carriers, the high are number of licensed firearms, i feel safer walking the streets of georgia than i do walking th

states. the gentleman from illinois is incorrect. this is about criminals. from my constituents in south florida, gun control is a serious issue. miami-dade county has one of the highest rates of gun violence in the country. and in the entire state of florida, there are 8,000 permits for concealed firearms. florida's process for issuing license is problematic enough and i would certainly not suggest foisting it on any other state that has stronger safeguards to protect its citizens. but this bill will do exactly that. for states that require age minute mums or safety training before getting a concealed weapon permit or prohibits certain violent offenders from getting a license in the first place, this goes out the window if this bill is passed into law. what we get is the worst of the worst, the lowest common denominator. for example, in just one six-month period in 2006, florida gave concealed license to more than 1,400 individuals who pleaded guilty or no contest to felonies. 216 of them had outstanding warrants. 128 of them had active domestic violence injunctions. under this bill other states will be mandated to honor these
