While our members have different political views, none of them call for senseless violence or indiscriminate murder.

Joshua Dobrzynski, who used to think "hitting pool balls around was senseless," was hooked once he tried it. He says the appeal of pool, which has surpassed even video games in his affections, is the adrenaline rush of the balls' "clacking." Chicago cop Debra Spraggins, who takes lessons with her son Nick, 12, says the focus on angles has helped him in math class, and the game has provided a refreshing way for her and Nick to spend time...
