So I simply look like I am going for a breath-mint and they never even see it coming. I have just been as mad as a hornet over the aftermath of the Colorado school shootings. People have the effrontery to blame the NRA for this little incident. Clearly, if every child in that school had packed heat, they would have been able to return fire on those little ungodly hoodlums. Even if they didn't actually kill the perpetrators, simply opening fire in a public place would have been an exhilarating opportunity to participate in a great American Tradition without having to go through the degrading humiliation of having to actually deliver mail.
Unsaved children do.
Yes, we have a lot of people shot to death every day of the year, but it is very rare that they adorable, well-dressed, peppy, white children from acceptable suburbs as they were in Colorado. Indeed, from the pictures I see in the papers, most people who are shot to death are seldom particularly attractive. And while I would never necessarily wish a homely person dead, it is hard to muster even passing chagrin when it occurs. What makes me saddest of all about Colorado is that some of the school children who died had probably not accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior. As they might say, if alive, bummer .
