| 93. Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on self-inflicted martyrdom |
|
"I AM NOT ADVOCATING TAKING AWAY YOUR GUNS, FOLKS" From all the responses I've read to your posts, it appears that Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on self-inflicted and overly-dramatic martyrdom. There seems to be a lot of people who translate "I don't care about guns..." as "why do you want to take my guns away...? Martyrdom. It's not just for breakfast anymore. I see your "eeek" and raise you a "blech!"  |
| -Florida budgets 3.8 million more for gun permits, cuts more school funding, waits for stimulus aid. |
