Ten years later and I still don't understand what went wrong in Littleton, Colorado. Maybe, if those angry children didn't have easy access to guns, we wouldn't have had such a tragedy.
Yeah, it must have been the guns ...
It couldn't have been because half our children are being raised in broken homes ...
It couldn't have been because we regularly allow our children to enter into virtual worlds in which (to win) one must violently kill as many opponents as possible ...
It couldn't have been because our children spend an average of 30 seconds in meaningful conversation with their parents each day (after all it's all "quality time") ...
It couldn't have been because we place our children in day care where the law of the jungle teaches them socialization while minimum-wage workers look on ...
It couldn't have been because, on average, each day our children watch seven hours of sexually degrading, violent, televised filth ...
It couldn't have been because our schools teach our children that they're nothing more than highly developed apes, nor that (oddly enough) these same schools contrarily teach them that they're nothing less than gods who have the authority to define right-and-wrong for themselves ...
It couldn't have been because we've demonstrated over 40-million times just how easy it is to rid oneself of the unwanted --- through the simple expedient of killing the innocent ...
Nah ... must have been the guns.

Yep, it was those nasty dangerous guns.
I need to keep mine locked up in a safe in order to keep them from leaving the house and gunning down everyone in sight. Without that safe all of the streets in my neighborhood would be running gutter deep in blood. I am almost afraid whenever I have to open the safe, making sure that I am armed first.
Well Bob, we all know that guns kill people. Dumb asses don't kill people.
good post, dear. How do we get it into wider circulation? Love the color, too. you are getting so color co-ordinated that it is scary.
Joyceee--
I'm considering a second career in interior decoration, so my color-coordination skills should really come in handy.
Gladys--
You do your daddy proud.
Jerry--
Cool! I gotta get me some of those self-aware guns.
Like the old expression says...Ted Kennedy has killed more people than my gun has.
Mrs Who--
And to what do you credit your gun's under-performance relative to Ted Kennedy?
