Ten Things About Me

From a Facebook meme:

Ten things about me:
1:  I'm an atheist.  Get used to that.  That said, if you are religous, fine, just don't force it on me via legislation.
2: I love my wife and my daughter unequivaclly
3:  I love to cook.  I am happiest when I am cooking.
4: Soup is my favorite food.
5: LET'S GO BUCS!!! Enough said.
6: If I were dictator, everyone would have a Square Foot Garden.
7: I hate groundhogs.
8: A dog tent, black powder, and thou.
9: Asparagus is my favorite vegetable.
10: When given a choice of activities, I choose gardening.

Thank You

This is interesting. 

It appears that I am a resident of New Netherland...with a distinct proclivity to Yankeedom.

Just Another Day In America

As of Sunday, we still don't know what caused Paul Anthony Ciancia to target TSA employees at LAX, but again we have the intersection of someone who may be suffering from mental illness and high powered weaponry.  I've seen reports that he had 100 rounds of .223 ammunition on him, and he could have killed far more people than he did. 

We're so desensetized to random violence that the only time it bubbles up to the national conciousness is when something like this happens.  There are, on average, about 27 gun deaths per day in this country, and that doesn't include suicides.

Frankly, given our laws, lobbying and political climate, I don't know what can be done.  There should be a way to keep these firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill while not infringing on well established citizen rights, but how long will this madness go on?
