    While I am a firm and ardent supporter of the 2nd amendment
    this was an act of cowardice and makes no sense. The Congresswoman was liked and respected by both parties. Even the nuttiest "gun nuts" that I know wouldn't pull a stunt like this. These poor people were unarmed, threatening no-one, and innocent. Another senseless act of violence which served no purpose that a rational mind can comprehend. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families..

    And people occasionally ask me
    why I don't pack up my kids and move back to the States.One reason (but not the only one) is that here, things happen, sure-they could get hit by a car or something; but it is a whole lot LESS likely that they'll run into a maniac waving a gun. ********************************** I am not young enough to know everything.

    Assasination attempt & wanton murder in Arizona,
    by a 22 year old 'shooter', that this morning reportedly has connections to the American Renaissance movement which espouses anti-goverment, anti-immigrant, and anti-semetic views. 6 dead including a sitting Arizona chief justice, several elderly womena & men, a 9 year old girl, and a staffer from the wounded congresswoman's office. It has been confirmed that the congresswoman was the target at her 'meet and greet' event. 20 victims wounded or dead. Those who have called for 'second amendment remedies' or stated 'if we don't win by ballots, we can win by bullets' would be wise to reconsider the tenor of their comments. Such speech may have consequences, especially with zealots, criminals, terrorists (including McVey), especially if you add mental illness to the mix. Tragic all the way around. The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

    AZ shooting
    How can a society have dumped that far into the toilet that such a thing could occur? A little girl f-ing died, and there is no excuse nor explanation for that. This insane rot-spewing of hate has got to stop!********************************** I am not young enough to know everything. Oscar Wilde

    Hadn't seen that one
    I have been reading daily reports from the Jam Cruise ship, but I have not seen any mention of DEA actions beforehand. Living in a land where the (allegedly) evil weed is tolerated, if not totally legal, I fail to see the logic and mentality behind this sort of behaviour. Sadly in most countries it seems to be based on a political doctrine that has little to do with fact and more to do with perpetuating myths to ensure that, come the next election, the ill-informed electorate will return these politicians to their cosy positions of power.

    I am not loving the reports about Jam Cruise passengers being busted by DEA types before the boat set sail on January 4th. I'm sure a lot of us have friends on that boat...
