I haven't heard any good NRA bashing lately, I think the times have been quiet, so maybe I should stir the pot.
The gun nuts have always hid behind the second amendment. They say they have the right to bear arms because the second amendment makes claim their right as a well regulated militia. But that has always been the source of conflict. Are they really a well regulated militia?
Seems to me, if we ever needed a well regulated militia, today would be the time. We are suppose to be at war. Where are all the gun nuts stepping up to the plate and having daily or weekly meetings to help protect the country? We don't have enough cops (many went off to Iraq) and so I think it is time this well regulated militia stepped in and put their money where their mouths have been for so long. There is a chemical plant within 30 miles of your house, shouldn't you be putting in at least one hour a week to help protect it from terrorists?
But the gun nuts are very, very quiet. Hmmm, maybe they just depend on the government, afterall, for their protection. Or maybe the truth is, people who have guns are really more afraid of their fellow Americans than they are of al Qaeda.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
