Because Guns Make Us Safer.
@12, sorry. No. I know that makes sense from a practical sense, but it is pure conjecture. But I will concede on that slightly because if we are talking about impulse, we are talking spur of the moment decisions. But that is it. And the amount of "failed" gun suicides, while I can't quote, probably has a strong number as well.
But that is not my point. Goldy is making hay out of the "children" to make his case, and not the legitimate point that a mess is a mess when something scatters human parts around.

Since we are making hay out of a suicide (which is by far the most common form of gun death), let's go ahead and suggest it was some anti-gun nut taking a bullet for the "cause". No? Good. Because the person who jumps out of a building to the sidewalk leaves as much or more mess for the children to witness as well. In suicide, be it gun, building, pills, whatever... we should focus on the reason and not the method. This isn't a defense of guns. Just pointing out the lack of good judgement in framing.

Power to the People.
All that zero greenhouse gas emitting power from... Eastern Washington. And most of that green power is not considered renewable because it is hydro power. Hydro power is not part of the renewable energy plan that Wa. voted on. Isn't that a bit odd? I guess the distinction is between renewable and sustainable. BUT!!! Goldy... did you hear about the latest bill to make permitting hydro power production a faster process? I'm friends with some folks who did one of the first ones here in WA. A DAM damn you!!!! A goddamn DAM! on a canal.... pretty cool stuff.

Oh how I miss that little venue at the Champs de Brionne Winery. Long before MCA bought the venue and turned it into a human stockyard. Live Nation or whoeverthefuck owns the place now had made one of the most beautiful places to see live music one of the most inhospitable and expensive shit shows ever. Here's to hoping the Maryhill venue can attract some good shows. Saw possibly one of the best Dylan shows I'd ever seen there and would absolutely go back.
