Especially for my friends who come up with the clever ways for me to die. This from the redoubtable and reprehensible Al Swearengen on HBO's DEADWOOD, after bitch-slapping the hapless newspaper publisher who "despaired" after he found his presses destroyed:
"Did you die? No, you didn't die. The world ends when you die. Until then, there's more punishment. So stand to it like a man, but give 'em somthing back!"
I think it`s sad. The whole NRA thing. Seeing how guns and people with guns are killing each other every day. On every continent. Defense is not a justification for an attack. That`s your (american) policy for decades and other parts of the world do not agree with it. "I want bad guys dead" in the world that we have today scares me. The simplification of everything. Nothing is that simple. And who knows, maybe you`ll find yourself at the wrong side of the barrel. What will you say then?
ReplyDeleteI do not have an issue with guns. If you are able to keep it safe and use it for whatever purpose you are using it (I cannot think of one, at least not from a functional point of view). The sad part is that most of the people use guns for the wrong reasons. And the result is that the body count is rising.
I am not from "a democratic underground". Please, I am from Europe, and my current political stance is rational functionality. If it works, use it. If it does not... I do not want to be associated with any party. Especially in your "either democrat or a republican" type of classification.
Oh, and here`s a html tip. I noticed that your link to the National shooting sports foundation does not work/is non-existent. Here...copy this instead of the text and it`ll work.

And please excuse for my rude language yesterday. I was upset. And hearing a man say "Amen" while holding a gun is a very disturbing image. Take care.

From Europe you say. Which part? The part we saved or the part whose ass we kicked?
ReplyDeletei just hope you make it. especially the one who is coward enough not to sign his own writing...if only with a nickname.
ReplyDeleteYou mean if I simply write "cookie" on an envelope with postage and drop it in a mailbox, it will get to you?
