This past weekend the City of Philadelphia lost another policeman to senseless violence ( 3dead over the last 2 years). This all on the heels of the State Supreme Court overturning another city legislative attempt to get the horse back into the barn. I am at a loss to grasp what it will take to shock or traumatize a state into understanding the absurdity of defending the ownership of assualt type weapons, flimsy backgroud checks and seemilgly non-existent limits to the numbers of weapons you can purchase and/or own.
I am NOT looking to ban gun ownership in any way. I think accountability is not alot to ask. More stringent background checks and "cooling off" periods........limits to numbers purchased at one time..........registration/training and responsibility to report the weapons loss with strict penalties.
The deaths of law enforcement personnel has not even cracked the lobby in Harrisburg. I cannot imagine what it will take.......what tragedy and of what proportions will cause the politicians to take notice. Something is going to have to hit very close to home.
Man, I love that picture of Hillary about to take a swig of booze. Can't you just hear the people in the bar going, "Chug! Chug! Chug!"?

In college, I met a lot of people who'd already been through University and were in their mid-20's. Many of them had already settled down and were engaged or in long-term relationhips that were close enough to marriages anyway. At least one person had a kid.
I ain't one to pass judgment. Amanda, one of my best friends, is very happy with her fiance. Personally I don't see myself getting into that situation and am strongly anti-marriage but man, whatever your path to happiness is, right?
I'm not gonna say much about the other point. It's nothing new that I don't know what I'm doing, but I feel pretty okay about shit right now.
I have an essay to write. Keep on rockin'
