But hey...ignorance is bliss right? .

The seeds of freedom...
I just love this kind of thinking...STATES RIGHTS.... IMHO the best thing that has happened in the last 50 years was the break up of the Soviet Union. Perhaps, just perhaps, this is one of those perfect storms when a combination of economic collaspe and the recognition of the right of self determination could lead to a peaceful breakup of the US. As I understand it States on both ends of the political spectrum (Vermont and Texas) have Separatists Movements. Everyone would benefit, the whole world would benefit. The cultural and value differences between the Red and Blue States is a bridge too far. I the more Iearn about the Civil War the more I am convinced that it was a tragic mistake and we have all suffered as a result of a hopeless attempt to preserve the Union. I know people say Texas is not big enough for a country and to big for an asylum but I believe they are wrong on both counts. Come Texas, show us the way !!!

You beat me to it Fred.
NOTHING ABOUT COLUMBINE WAS FUNNY. NOT ONE SINGLE DAMNED THING. It would not be funny if it happened again and the damned guns had made in or by Mattel, made in China, Montreal, Hecho in Mexico, Thailand of BFE either.
Maybe if you had lost a child in Columbine your dumb-ass statement would be re-worded to be a little more less self centered.
If you have a gun collection I am happy for you. I have one to, big f-ing deal most people in Texas have at least one... collection.
Note To Moderator:
Sorry for the rant, A hell of a lot of innocent children were killed in Columbine.
BTW:
This was not directed to you Fred, I think you know that.

Steve,
Though Columbine was the start, it seems that the press who I blame for a lot of this, has made school shooting almost a normal thing. With all of their coverage, they make every border line kid that wants a few moments of fame look at that and say, boy I can get on TV. There is nothing at all funny about any shooting no matter how many or the cause, even in self defense. That taking of a human life, even if you are defending yourself is not something to take lightly as so many seem to. And yes, if I was forced into a position where I had no other choice I would shoot a person but I am not sure how well I could live with it later on. We just had 3 teen agers here that beat an old man to death for, Quoting the 18 year old here, " We wanted to have some fun so we decided to kill a bum." One walked up in front of him and the other two came up behind him with an iron bar and oak table leg and smashed his head in. They are still talking about what a rush it was, and now the police have found out they were involved in the beating of another teen a few weeks ago. Now that is a sad state of affairs when you have to have 3 in great shape teens gang up and use stuff like that and kill an old man just for fun. Also as a side thought, he was a Vietnam war vet and had won a couple of medals but just couldn't adjust to the normal way of life like so many can't after they served there.

Texas style - "They needed shootin'..."
"They're out here tearin' up the levee so I shot them". Poster children for the anti gun movement.
