I have a new name! I like it so much that I might try to get people to address me by this in real life.
It puts the Texas death penalty rate in perspective.
Yep. What gets me is the brand of Christian conservative who'd rather go on killing people rather than offering the option of life imprisonment. 'Cause their concern about the sanctity of life ends at birth.
Hi all!
So the new pope is kind of scary!conservative, but old?
I had a good first day of work training. I got to learn stuff, AND do research.
eta: I don't understand your new name, Hayden , but I'm glad it makes you happy.
Personally, I prefer that people who are carrying guns around do it by putting them in their pockets/purses/etc. Seeing guns makes most people nervous. There was a time when DH and I frequently flew with a pistol in checked baggage. It made the check-in people nervous every single time, but only once they'd seen it.
Unless it was Heather. I'd be ok with that.
I'd be pretty happy to say the words "President Anne Richards" too, y'know?

No shit. And the gun retention issues ... carrying is dangerous enough. Protecting it from all and sundry ... well, it might encourage people to not carry period.
What's wacky about the idea of putting a gun into my purse for personal protection?
It's prettier strapped to your thigh? When you walk into someplace that guns aren't welcome, people know to ask you to leave it outside? If you fulminate with Walter-Mitty-like secret ambitions of gangsterhood, I can tell without having to be drawn into your scary psychological world to find out?
I guess I equate it with having at attack dog. If you could conceal your dog about your person, what does that accomplish except make the allergic people annoyed? Whereas, big dog, right there, people know what to expect outta you.
Now very much enjoying the idea of wearing a huge overcoat with an extra pocket to fit a Doberman.
I guess it would seem less crazy if there weren't Critical! Budget decisions going on while they try to turn it to 1884. Our new friend is going to have to explain the name one day. And I think everything that could be done to me has, so "Get on with it, motherfuckers."(gratuitous Wire reference) One thing about being nobody, I suppose.
I'd be pretty happy to say the words "President Anne Richards" too, y'know?Awww. Me, too. Love Anne.
Ann.

Perkins, it's a reference to obscuro weirdo Jandek.
