I’ve been biting my tongue for almost/over a week now; AND I’m glad I did. I mean who needs another ranting opinion about lone-mad-gunmen and the current balance of supreme court justices. As it turns out; a week later; this great nation remains functionally balanced on the head of the pin between ones right to own a device to slaughter ones classmates and the right to kill your baby.
Maybe the press is tired; or I’ve become inured… I read far less shrill and cry last week than I would normally expected from the NRA and the NCW on last weeks headline-chapter events in this great nations biggest personal tiffs. Maybe my lack of cable shields me from the dogma and pony show that results after another crazed gunman kills a crowd; and supremes foist a pull-back on our most recent cherished rights.
Over the years, I’ve grown to, if not like, kind of appreciate this detant; the righty-rights [of which I am not], get their toys that have an enormous impact on life over death; and the lefty-lefts [of which I am definitely not] get the personal right to choose death over life. In other words everyone gets to choose; except of course those at the wrong end of the muzzle, or scalpel.
I wish there were NO crazed gunmen as much as I wish that people would put a little more thought behind copulation! I wish all guns would just go away; and that women wouldn’t make mistakes; I certainly wish that men would STOP forcing themselves upon women! Although many of my wishes have come true; I’m long over thinking that wishing will make it so.
So I’ll be sitting here on the head of this ol’ pin… wishing, wishing mostly for less mistakes.
