What it says on the tin. Gun safety laws are self-defense. Another week, another couple of mass murders made possible by guns. Not to mention all the mundane murders, suicides, and “accidents.” But we can’t do anything about any of that, thanks in large part to those who insist “people have the right to defend themselves.” Well, yeah. We do. But the thing is, we. But it’s the NRA’s country; we just live in it. Except for the ones who don’t get to live anymore. No blog is an island,. A part of the plan.

What it says on the tin. This caller had to be a troll, right? I can’t wait for the “Ladies, protect yourselves from being shot at! 8221; campaigns. Maybe we’ll get whistles. →. THIS is reality, “Red Pill” dudes. Below, I’ve reproduced the transcript of Elliot Rodger’s last video, the one he made before murdering six people and wounding seven others.

The Civil War moves one step closer to an end, as we finally agree to stop collectively pretending that the Confederate battle flag signifies any noble cause. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Why I write | Writing Practice
https://toomanyjens.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/why-i-write
What it says on the tin. Donne Donne DOOONNNNE →. The Terrible Minds writing challenge this week is to write about why you write. It can be paralyzing to think about.
