"Come on people, now -

smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now".

I've been playing this song since 1967. I may be old, but I still believe.

anigbrowl, I own exactly 2 guns.

A shotgun, and one rifle. Both are over 20 years old, and kept in shape. The rifle goes with me back country, and up here, you'd better have something more than a bear bell or spray. The shotgun's last use was being fired in the air to scare a mama moose and her twins out of a neighbor's yard. My neighbor's children were in that yard and mama moose perceived a threat. By a 5 and 3 year old.

Not everyone who owns guns, legally, licensed, is a "gun humper".

I am a strong supporter of gun control, but some outright prejudice is just as bad as any other bigotry. And yeah, I'd gladly fire my shotgun to be sure your kids were safe. Mama moose and twins ran off. Kids got scolded by mom for being too curious (in a fenced yard).

I'm 62 years old and have never fired a weapon, except when I was in the Air Force and required to do so, at so much as a human paper target.

I don't start many of these, and am not quite sure how to do it -

BUT! Solid RW Senior Senator Lisa Murkowski on the RepbliCON convention? Lisa can be pretty cool on some stuff, not much, but some - and for this one I give her credit for a damn good excuse (she didn't use it with McCain) and wanting to distance herself from the Clown Car.


JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski will be traveling in Alaska next week as part of her re-election campaign and won't be attending the national Republican convention.

Rachel Kallander, a spokeswoman for Murkowski's re-election campaign, says the convention is about a month before Murkowski's primary and that Murkowski has a packed travel schedule during the Senate break.

Hey, you stubby-fingered orange-haired racist cretin? Get a clue ................
