The root of resentment

We were cut off by some crazy on
the interstate highway..
Unfortunately, we left our 50 calliber
machine gun at home and couldn't
unleash the Rambo style vengeance
the crazy so sorely deserved..
We were short changed three french frys
at Mac Donalds, and we breathed hellish
profanities to the window cashier..
The policeman gave us a parking meter
ticket, and we vowed to crush this police
state..
We were circumcised without our permission
so we bombed some medical clinic..
We failed to get anything on sale on a Black
Friday because of the crush of people,
so we started a civil war right in the parking
lot..
Our favorite team lost the socker game, so
we burn 600 square miles of that country
to the ground..
The supermarket ran out of twinkies and it
takes 12 military helicopters and 65 state
police to escort you from the store..
Your unemployment check didn't come on
time leaving you short changed for food, so
you ate the neighbors horse, cat, dog, and
four goldfish..
And the list goes on, and on, and on.
We are such an angry people.

American gun laws scare the life out of me.

guns do not kill its the people pulling the trigger and sadly most gun owners are kill happy and shoot anything from little tweedy birds to a grazing deer. Yes the laws are not as good as they should be but I still beleave in my freedom to bare arms. the problem with laws are they are mostly there to control the good people and the bad will break every law possible, this old lady got robbed and she shot the burglar in the foot , the Bulgar sued the old lady and brought assault charges against her and the law was on the burglars side the old lady lost her home and everything to the burglar is a good example of how laws are, this is a true story.
