1. I am getting a FOID and a 12 gauge shotgun
Its obvious our government is incapable of providing security in this country.

Bush's America. You're on your own.

:sarcasm::patriot: We the People
:spray: Promote the general welfare
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Establish Justice
:woohoo: :patriot: Secure the blessings of liberty

4. The post would have bee more meaningful if...
I had at my disposal a disgusted spitting smiley. I would have used it with great frequency. The farthest thing from my mind was to poke fun at NO, rather it was intended to convey my utter contempt and disgust at what has happened. Peace.

6. not offended...just uncomfortably numb you could say.....
...my cynicism knows no bounds...life is to blame...how nobel we animals who pretend we're some how evolved from perfection instead of the savage beasts we still are..herding people at gunpoint who're starving and dying in what's now third world conditions in the fine state of Louisiana...the ruination of New Orleans and instead of the richest bastards who helped create this crisis being treated in this manner..it's the poorest of the destitude that have to suffer the most...guess they should be used to it and not put up much of a fuss...i hate this world.

5. I don't even live there and I'm told I'm not safe.
Northern Italy, just five minutes by car from where I live, is known as a "hotbed" of Islamic fundamentalists, and since I've lived here, there've been official cautions for American expatriots to keep a low profile. It wasn't a problem until * declared war on Muslims, in my opion.

natural disasters.

12. since I work at a law firm, I have a disclaimer:
Not that I feel particularly safe from terrorists. Just putting things into their proper perspective.

20. We have all the proof we need. No one can doubt their intentions
against the citizens of this country who are suppoed to own the country. But, we have monsters at the helm who pledge allegiance to themselves. We are being taken over and we are being taken down.
