All the money to be made from all the products that can cause people to die. Can't underestimate that. Imagine how many bazillions of bucks the gun manufacturers, gun sellers, gun lobby, NRA would lose if guns were controlled in the USA? We can't have that. So of course the sky's the limit and if kids are slaughtered periodically well it's one way of thinning out the population isn't it? They go on making guns, selling guns, buying guns, using guns without hesitation and without missing a beat. A trick of the mind or something far more sinister? less

Their useful idiot became the US president. Couldn't get any betterer than that. Kudos to them. Right?
If so, I think we (will) get along fine. My stepgrandmother used to say that professors tend to be distracted people, but not every distracted person is a professor.

JA said she did some research and the cost of such a room would be between $5,000 and $10,000. Don't know how many rooms there are in schools in the US but maybe they could find out and start building them? Desperate times call for desperate measures. We are in desperate times.

I'm watching an episode of "Law and Order". The detectives arrested the suspect at his cubicle in the office where he worked, and a large group of his co-workers witnessed it.
"Revelations" The flame was added upon request to use the structure as a navigational beacon. The use of copper in its construction prevented colorization.

My wife impressed me at my first glance at her with the most gorgeous smile that lit up the entire night. ~

All the toady NRA lemmings are yesterday's news. Has anyone heard ANYTHING from that spineless twerp Wayne La Pierre or is he in hiding because he is is afraid of what is coming at him?
They cancel shows due to snow and tornadoes and hurricanes but they can't cancel the friggin' show after 17 people are MURDERED by gun? What are they ? CRETINS?

Tweet about himself him he himself him he and attack the usual targets that intimidate/terrify him. He is an old man who is not very smart. He is his own worst enemy who in the end is always alone because no one loves him enough to save him. A sad sight that will get sadder as people pull back, remain silent, do nothing but watch him unravel. Alas. Alack. He made his bed and now he gets to lay in it after he has lied in it. A fitting end. less
