"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows he is a fool." (AYLI)

     Exactly what is going on here?  Twenty-two little children shot to death in their classrooms and the NRA is still claiming their rights under the second amendment which apparently they have adopted as their Bible and what's in it as their scripture.  So the NRA is a new religion and their god is their president.  The second amendment  protects the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms in a well-regulated militia.  Webster describes a militia as 1. An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers.  And 2. A part of the organized armed forces of a country liable to call only in an emergency.  I don't think we have such a militia.  I don't feel we should deny members of the NRA the right to bear a weapon if it makes them feel invulnerable--but certainly not the kind of weapon that is meant only for war--not for hunting. They love to use the mantra, "Guns don't kill people; people kill people".  Yeah, but people kill people with guns, not with bows and arrows.  An automatic weapon was used to kill innocent children, and caused grief that will never go away for families of those children. 

 

     And what are the fools up to in Congress?  Absolutely nothing it seems; except for one guy who (a red-stater) of course) filibustered for 13 hours because he didn't want drones to be dropped on Americans in America.  He finally stopped munching on his snickers bar when he was told that this was never going to happen.  I wonder?  If you go to the restroom while filibustering, do you lose your place?  Now the two parties are arguing over taxes and the debt and Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security.  Obama wants to raise taxes on the wealthy.  (The GOP says NO). And why not?  Kids coming out of high school and college are overnight millionaires if they are skilled in basketball or football or baseball and are picked high in the draft. But millionaires and billionaires contribute mightily to the election coffers of the guys who vote against taxing them. 

 

     What are the fools in Arkansas doing?  Their redcoats have passes the most restrictive abortion code in the country.  The solution to this is to have a lotto drawing among the fools who voted for this obvious unconstitutional bill and the winner by law gets to adopt the baby and bring it up and then thank goodness that it wasn't aborted.  And just keep drawings going just like that.
