Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yeah, I figured unfriending was better than calling her a self-righteous motherfucker.

In my heart of hearts, you said this as you unfriended her. I will not believe otherwise. Maybe it was quiet, but you said it.

Yeah, Hil, I hope she didn't fuck up your car too bad.

Dana, I posted more kitten pictures. Just for you. :)

I have an uncle who is Mr. NRA, but he's afraid to go to Kansas City or St. Louis, much less Chicago.

Whaaa? I had no idea Kansas City was such a hotbed of violence?!? (St Louis...maybe East St Louis?)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

KC is actually pretty murdery for a city this size; we break 100 murders each year since the mid 90s. And we have a pretty good gang culture and since so many highways run through us (and we boast a high meth lab quota) we gotcher drug-running through us pretty decent.

Go K(illa) C(ity)!

Er.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The KC neighborhood I grew up in used to be regularly featured on COPS. (Is that show still on?) I used to watch every now and then to see if I knew anyone.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Help me. Someone just said to me, "In the US, it is the jurisdictions that outlaw guns where the greatest gun violence takes place. As a general rule, they are acquired illegally; making them illegal again doesn't change much."

Is this true? Anyone know? I am incapable at this point of looking up any damn thing.

Thank you, Cashmere.

I shouldn't have posted anything. I should have expected this sort of response, and I should have known I wouldn't be up to dealing with it. But now I have to.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yeah because I know that statement is straight bullshit. Perhaps Zenkitty you should tell the person that they are only allowed to enter into this policy discussion if they have a citation that is no older than 2000.

I learned yesterday that not very many studies on gun violence have been done recently because the NRA is trying to quash that shit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would also like to point out that it's not actually that hard to get a gun from one part of the US to another.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

how is the car (since it seems you are okay!)

It's scratched a bit, and I think a little dented, but nothing major.
