oh, but it's ok to carry a concealed automatic weapon into a mall/church/school/supermarket, etc etc even if you're drunk or mad at your wife/family/kids. And you call yourself "pro-life"? Please, get off of my planet, you hypocritical, anti- life, anti-American, ignorant, hateful piece of garbage.

One must earn the right to challenge with honesty, integrity and compassion, all of which you are sadly devoid of. Robert Z

My my, the comments (deleted ones imagined with confident accuracy) are getting a bit testy. You all know which side I'm on, but I'm having a hard time getting angry these days. Instead, I feel a deep disappointment and melancholy over what this beautiful country has become and the sad road down which it seems to be inexorably moving.

I agree with Alameda Tom, more sad than angry these days.

Deep disappointment is one of my favorite phrases Willy, and I feel it too. But I still have faith that with bad there always comes some good. In this case, more people becoming more aware and then more outraged. Sad is a natural human response, but it usually doens't get much done. Anger often gets the wrong things done. Awareness and commitment to action, that's what we need. Worldwide people are fed up with their lives being controlled or overly influenced by corporate and governmental power that doesn't represent the true needs and desires of those people. I'm feeling something coming.
