What did you expect? Thoughts on the NRA & Gun Control


When you have a society that 1) applauds Governors with the highest rate of executions in their states' history; 2) a Congress that won’t even pass background checks; 3) Allows AK-47 guns to be bought through the mail; 4) Allows the NRA to buy politicians & elections; 5) Enacts  "Stand your Ground" & "King of the Castle" gun laws that allow people to indiscriminately blow people away; plus give teenagers access to guns; and hot-headed adults that can’t solve disputes without shooting someone; plus you have African-American kids driving around ….just being black!....(that seems to be the crime in most cases); you have road rage cases where two people fight and someone gets killed…in other words, mass hysteria and dogs and cats living together….what did you think would be the result? Less deaths from guns?

 
If the NRA would like to experiment with the notion that everyone should strap on a gun, including all public school teachers, I would invite them to a freedom farm home on the range. Perhaps Cliven Bundy would accommodate those who want out of the US? They could see what it’s like without laws, police, firemen, rules, societal norms or public schools. Then perhaps we would see if the experiment works. The love of neighbors and the desire to pull together as a community of gun totin’, law hatin’, lovers of freedom would have to suffice. That I would pay money to see!

Making America Great Again....Really

The MAGA mantra is a lie…They didn’t vote to make America GREAT again but instead to blow up the system….Not all of the people who voted for the MAGA slogan still believe it will become true. There is too much solid evidence of the hollowness of the promises. Mexico is not paying for a wall, and we don’t have a better health system than the ACA that helps people with pre-existing conditions. The actual components of what it would take to make America Greater still are just not there. Making American Great again would entail working together to create a better health care system for all that would include those with pre-existing conditions. Making America Great Again would mean working on infrastructure to make America a showcase that is the envy of the world.  Making America Great would mean working to be a global leader in NATO and with our allies to not only create peaceful solutions in existing conflicts, but also to work to prevent conflicts and to bu...

Barbaric Acts in the Modern Age and the Appalling Sound of Silence

Why would any group choose to behead someone? In the 21 st Century,  the words barbarians and beheadings should both be viewed as arcane language. Instead, we see South and Central American drug cartels plus groups of extremists fighting in the Middle East using beheadings as a frequent and popular method of murder. For those of us living in the relative shelter and peace of the Continental United States, it’s hard to fathom the black hole of hatred and darkness seen and used by these people. Why do they behead people? One clue concerning the Islamic extremists leads us to the time of Mohammed. Even in the prophet’s time, (570 AD to 632 AD), he was condemned for an act of violence which left seven-hundred Jewish men beheaded at the siege of Banu Qurayza. In certain parts of Italy and in the U.S., the Mafia and drug cartels of South America use beheadings to serve as warnings to those who would stand in their way. Sadly, we probably have not reached the end of this appall...
