... I've been mia last few weeks 'cause I was real busy ... meant to post more this weekend but just didn't have the heart .... skimming around this site and seeing low-count posters popped up defending guns guns guns ... and worse, some long-time posters too...and a really idiotic piece on commondreams - essentially, we're all responsible but we can't do anything ... can't even imagine why they published it over there.
Just all too much.
But a second to Tansy's post above, too.
