My thoughts and prayers are with all those in Colorado feeling the pain of yesterday's tragedy. How many more?
9:44 am
MollyL
We really need to address the mental health crisis in this country
9:45 am
car.eeyore
yes. and, IMO, I do not think anyone needs to own military grade weapons.
9:45 am
Focal
Is the mental health crisis worse than in other countries, or is it the proliferation of weaponry that is the issue?
9:46 am
car.eeyore
It is a horrible cluster f*** of the two.
9:47 am
MollyL
I agree but I think our best way of dealing with this is to address the mental health problems. If someone wants to get a gun, they are going to get one. Mentally healthy people donh't shoot up grocery stores.
9:47 am
Focal
People without weaponry don't do this either. It's very complex.
9:47 am
car.eeyore
Exactly. I totally agree, Molly. But those kinds of guns have no business in the hands of anyone but the military or the police. End of story.
9:48 am
LuvWordGames
And not just the proliferation of weaponry but the mindset of this country regarding guns IMHO
9:48 am
car.eeyore
And the "shame" of mental illness. It is a horrible combination.
9:49 am
LuvWordGames
very true
9:53 am
MollyL
Well, you could pass a law making AR-15 rifles illegal. Then people who wanted them would just start buying them illegally. Heroin is illegal and people buy it and use it every day.
9:55 am
LuvWordGames
That is the argument used against gun control but the same logic could be applied to abortions but that doesn't stop people from trying to make them illegal
9:55 am
LuvWordGames
hi MLF
9:56 am
MollyL
I'm not sure I see the parallel between abortions and rifles.
9:58 am
LuvWordGames
people always say abortion should be illegal but don't acknowledge the same argument you made about guns that whether they're illegal or not, people will still seek them out
10:00 am
MollyL
Well, there are some people who feel abortion should be illegal. And it was for years and women still sought them out.
10:00 am

is an 9 against word?

10:58 am

No idea, Molly. Dauber I do not mind the Beatles but have not heard that song.
10:59 am

there's something really wrong in the world when you "don't mind" the Beatles but you like Abba
10:59 am

Hey you leave Abba out of this! Haha!

11:31 am

I can't remember who the female lead was -- I was only 11 at the time. Remembered because it was such a special event for a little girl who lived in a town of about 7000 that had no live theatre.
